two county commissioners from the
Prosser and Kennewick districts. Com
missioner B. j. Pacius in the second
district has filed for election. He will
be opposed by two other republicans,
w. B. Rowan and G. E. DeBow in the
primary. Two democrats, B. E. Brock
hansen and Robert G. Evans, have
also filed for the Office. In the third
district, County Commissioner H. S.
Hughes will be opposed by A. w. Wall
of Richland, republican, in the primary
election. Jay Perry of Kennewick, dem

Political
Observations
BY Jimmie X. Browne

Tuesday, August %, is the last day on
which voters can register for the Sep
TENDER primaries October Is is the
last day for registering for the gen.
eral November elections.
| These are important dates for those
who have failed to qualify their votes.
| With the ever increasing demand for
reductions in the costs of government
| flooding the state, some unusually in
teresting registration figures have been
coming from Seattle and King county.
| In the former place the registration
has passed the $4,000 mark, and will
reach 100000 before the books close,
| it is now estimated.
King county outside of Seattle will
show a total of at least 10000.
The Seattle registration is $4,000
| more than it was four years ago and
| 10000 more than two years ago.
The Importance of this registration
to the rest of the state is to be found
| in this fact. Twenty counties on the
Eastside have only reported regis
tration of 10000 votes, only 10000
more than Seattle alone, and 10000
less than King county will show.
There is but little question on the
| registration showing but that the state
I campaigns on both the Democratic and
Republican tickets this year will hinge
on what Seattle does.
This indicates that Seattle and King
county are going to be in control Of
both the primaries and the general
| election this year. And Seattle is most
erratic in politics
Filings of declarations of candidates.
have stopped. The field of entries is
ready. The quadrennial race for the
governorship and other state Offices is
underway.

POLICE RADIO NEEDS
TELEvISION CHANNELS
Certain of These Bands Are Best
Suited to Departments,
Say Engineers.

Television services, whose expert
mental wave lengths were reallocated
in few instances last February, may
soon have to relinquish some of their
channels to municipal police radio sys-
TENS. The eight short waves neighbor-
ing the present television bands, which
now are assigned to police radio are
fast becoming inadequate to serve DO
lice needs. Proposals to acquire more
frequencies by taking them away from
coastal and aviation services have been
rejected by Federal Radio Commission
engineers, because of the necessity of
those services
At present there are ABOUT 10 cities
employing radio for police purposes by
operating stations which send out in
formation and instructions to squad
cars making their rounos. The number
is growing so fast that commission en-
gineers estimate at least 100 cities will
have similar systems berore the end Of
this year. Police radio assignments are
usually granted as maccer of routine,
being regarded as priority service.
That the new waves. when needed,
must come from existing television
bands. is due to the fact that certain
Of those bands are best suited for police
services. There are four teIevision bands
in the So-called continental short waves
each 100 kilocycles wide. They are:
l,600-1 700, 2,000-2,100, 2,100-2,200 and
2.750-2,850 kilocycles OF late televi-
sion experimenters have been fiocking
to the ultra-high frequenc1es, because
Of the wider channel bands available
there for the transmission of pictures
of better detail.
1t is chiefly because they anticipate q
hegira within tke next few years to
the ultra-short waves by television
workers, that the commissions engi-
neers anticipate some of the visual
waves will go to police services. More
police radio channels were demanded
by the recent convention of the Inter-
national Association Of Chiefs of Police
in st. Petersburg, Fla. The ultra-high
television waves now assigned lie be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 kilocycles; i;
since these channels permit localized
services, they are not now overcrowded
and can stand some additions. The
short waves now assigned to city police
services, many of which can be tuned
by owners of short wave sets, are: 1,7l2,
2,414, 2,422. 2,430. 2,422, 2,450, 2,453
and 2,470 kilocycles. In addition the
frequencies 1874 and 2,506 are allo-
Gated to the State police services Of
Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,,
Iowa and Louisiana.

ton; she is virtually filing that
position.
BUTCHER, baker and candle
~ stick maker cannot force
broadcasters to carry their mes
sages to the public simply because
their competitors have been &C
corded the privilege Of using the
radio wave lengths. This, in es-
M. Cheseldine, examiner of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
In his report holding that broad
casting stations are not common
carriers under public service obli-
gatlonS-aS are railroads, street
cars, buSSeS and the hke-to per-
NIT every one and any one who has
the price to use their facilities.
1t is the radio impresario's
right and privilege to pick and
choose those who shall appear be-
fore his microphone, If he is to
maintain the interest of the pub
lie and hold his audience, Exami-
ner Cheseldine ruled in effect in
recommending dismissal of the
complaint filed against the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. and
WGBB, Freeport, N. Y, by the
Sta-Shine Products Co. of New
York. That concern, a polish
manufacturer, charged the broad
casters with exacting eXorbitant
rates for time on the air and COM
planned that N. B. c. had refused
it the privilege Of broadcasting
even if it paid.
The polish company contended
that the transportation act Of
1920. under which the Interstate
Commerce Commission functions,
gave that body authority to regu-
late radio advertising rates, and
contended that stations and net
works are public utilities which
must throw their facilities open to
all corners upon request. Neither
of these contentious was accepted
by Examiner Cheseldine, who held
that, although the transportation
act gives the Inerstate Commerce
Commission authority over the
transmission of intelligence by
wireless, it does not embrace
broadcasting, because that feature
of radio was practically unknown
when the 1920 law was enacted.
The nature of the broadcasting,
Mr.. Cheseldine ruled, prevents the
use of its facilities by all comers
because listener good will Is
radios chief asset and the sta
ton licensees are amenable to the
Federal Radio Commission for the
quality of service rendered. II
radio were a common carrier, he
held, it might be used improperly
and the Radio Commission has
Jurisdiction, which it has already
exercised against improper uses Of
the wave lengths. The Cheseldinc
report Sustains the defendants in
virtually every respect. It remains
to be accepted or rejected by the
full Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which is not expected to take
it up before Midsummer or later.

A portable radio receiving set used for

Soviet authorities are considsrins in
stalling radios as permanent equipment
in the mines. A cavein entombed the
workers in this particular mine for
several days.
When officials learned that one of
the miners had radio in the mine, the
nearest broadcasting station sent out a
series of messages telling the impris-
oned men Of the efforts being made to
save them. After they were freed, the
men said this was the only thing that
kept up their courage till the rescue

THE speed Of international

radio communication has
i shrunk the world to the
dimensions Of room only
IS feet long, or approximately
the size of the famous East Room
Of the White House, OresteS H.
Caldwell, former Federal radio
commissioner and now editor of
Radio Retailing, demonstrated in
a round-the-world broadcast pro-
gram in Schenectady last week.
His voice circumnavigated the
globe from Schenectady to Java
and Australia and back again in
the same fraction of second re-
quired for his words to echo from
a wall of the experimental studio
rs feet from the microphone.
Station operators standing "a
feet from Mr.. Caldwell heard his
words at the same instant the
Syllables, hurtling through space
on international short waves,
reached Holland. One-twentieth
of a second later, when the radio
waves passed over Java, the corre-
spending sounds in the room had
gone only 70 feet. And while Mr..
Caldwell's voice was echoing back
from the wall rs feet away his
words also were jumping the H.
900 miles from Australia to the
Pacific Coast of the United States,
and then across the American
continent back to Schnectady.
Radio travels at the speed of
1876, 900 miles per second, and, Mr..
Caldwell pointed out on the oc-
casion of his broadcast, made the
round-th world journey in less
than one-Seventh OF a second.
Had it been possible to generate
sound waves powerful enough to
encircle the globe, these lumber
ing impulses, moving 1,100 feet per
second, would have required two
days and a night for the round
the-world trip.

Her promotion by the Federal
