WYNN NOW EXPECTED
TO LAUNCH NETWORK
Sensational" Announcement Con-
cerning Amalgamated Broadcast
ing System, Inc, Promised.

With Ed Wynn, famous stage and
radio comic, scheduled to leave for
Hollywood early this month to make q
movie. reports are current that he will
attempt to launch his projected new
radio network prior to his departure.
Postponed half dozen times since
February for various reasons, it is now

ment concerning the Amalgamated
Broadcasting System, Inc. the Wynn
enterprise, will be made coincident with
the networks opening. Leaders in the
business and political worlds, it is un-
derstood, will be named as members OF
an advisory council for the chain.
The Perfect Fool himself envisions
his network as new DEAL for radio,
introducing an entirely new type Of
program procedure. with minimum en-
phasis on radio advertising. While his
plans call for a modest start, with
half dozen small stations from New
York to Washington, he predicts that
within a year he will have more than
100 stations aligned into nationwide
chain, competitive with National Broad
casting Co. and Columbia Broadcasting
System. BY introducing a new mode
of station relations" he predicts also
that stations now affiliated with the
other networks will drop those connec-
tions to join his enterprise.

RADIO FEUD AGAIN
OPENED AT CHICAGO
Madison, Wis, Station Seeks Half
of WSN Clear Channel
Facilities.

With former Gov Philip La Toilette
of Wisconsin in the thick Of the fight,
Wisconsin and Illinois have reopened
their radio feud in case before the
Federal Radio Commission that may
see all of Chicago's big stations drawn
into protracted litigation.
Jolted by the loss Of two of its sta
tions fortnight ago, after battle
that carried on through the Supreme
Court, Chicago's ruffied radio front is
again the scene of activity. The open
ing shot of new battle has come with
the filing Of an application by sta
ton WIBA, Madison, Wis, newspaper
owned, for half of the clear channel
facilities occupied by station WGN,
owned by the Chicago Tribune. 1t Is
one Of the biggest stations in the
country.
Illinois has been a sore spot in radio
because it Is the most over-quota State
in the country from the standpoint OF
stations within its borders. Wisconsin
is slightly under-quota and therefore
entitled to more facilities. In the case
finally decided earlier this month, Chi
cago relinquished stations WHO and
WPCC to Indiana, which was under
quota.
While the WIBA application asks
specifically for only one-half of the
channel used by WGN and for the IA
cilities of two small stations in Wis
consin, it is expected that all Of Chi
cago's half dozen clear channel sta
tions will be embroiled in the htiga-
ton if WIBA follows through. In other
words, it would be part Of WGNs
strategy to make the case q battle
royal" by having the entire Chicago
radio situation aired once more.

NEWSPAPER BROADCAST
COMMENDED BY HANLEY
Virtually Ideal in Performance of
Service to the Public, Says
Commissioner.

In his first public utterance since TAX
Ing Office last March, Federal Radio
Commissioner James H. Hanley COM
manded newspaper ownership and oper-
alton of broadcasting stations as vir-
tually ideal in the performance Of serv-
ice to the public.
In many respects" Mr. Hanley said
in an address dedicating station KICK,
at Carter Lake Ia, "a union between
a newspaper and radio station is ideal.
The very life blood of a newspaper Is
good will and the publishers and editors
are past masters in that art and in
moulding public opinion. AS a rule
radio stations which are controlled in
whole or in part by newspapers are
less liable to emphasize revenues
and indulge in offensive sales talk than
purely commercial stations"
When he assumed Office, Commits
sioner Hanley declined to talk for pub
lication until he had appraised" the
situation His views on radio generally
were unknown, although he said he
favored the Democratic principle" OF
no monopoly in broadcasting and Of
fostering small stations and community
interest in radio.
Of the 600-odd stations licensed in
the United States, slightly more than
100 are owned by or corporately aff1l-
lated with newspapers in their COM
munities. In addition, some 200 others
have "neWS-fash" or similar tie-ups
with newspapers.

BROADCAST SESSION
IS SET FOR OCTOBER
Program Trends, Listener Reac-
tions and Habits, White Sulphur
Springs Topics.

The men who make the wheels 90
round" in radio will go into their an
nual huddle earlier than usual this
year to devise ways and means of i'm
proving program and technical service
for listeners
Instead of meeting at the fag end of
the year, the National Association Of
Broadcasters will hold its annual con-
Sulphur Springs, w. Va. according to
an announcement made today by Philip
G.. Loucks, managing director. The
late Fall and Winter is radios busiest
season. and it was decided that the
general business of the industry should
be cleaned up before the new radio
year" begins, rather than at the peak
period
Program trends, listener reactions
and listener habits will be gone over
in detail at the forthcoming conven-
ton, along with technical problems of
the industry, such as improvement of
reception. the part radio will play in
the Presidents industrial recovery pro-
gram and related problems. Some 400
station owners and managers, together
with advertising agency otficials, are
expected to attend the eleventh annual
session.
At the last convention, held in st.
Louis, the broadcasters declared open
warfare against Tin Pin Alley for al
legedly extortionate royalty demands
for copyrighted music performed over
the air. The convention also resolved
to retain for the industry sort Of
"czar" to manage tbs affairs. Newton
D. Baker, former Secretary Of War. was
retained to wage legal warfare against
the American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers, better known
as the copyright owners, but his status
is not that of dictator.
While the copyright problem remains
the most vexing confronting the broad
casters, numerous others have cropped
up. These include elimination Of cut
throat" competition among stations for
business, stabilization of the industry
in compliance with the industrial re-
covery act, and the possibility of
sweeping reallocation of broadcasting
stations within the next year as q di-
rect outgrowth of the North American
Radio Conference to be held in Mexico
City beginning July 10.

But 1t is the sort of reorganiza-
ton that is wholly satisfactory to

Commission, which has been get

stations at the rate of nearly 100

q voluminouS set of new regula-
tions governing amateur opera
ton, effective next October l.
To the layman it should be ex-
planned that radio "hams" are
pure lobbyists who pioneered the
short waves and pointed the way
to their later practical use; who
are still pioneering, this time on
the ultra-short waves, and who
communicate with one another by
voice and code for the mere fun
of the thing. Most of them build
their own stations, and all must be
licensed by the commission. Their
amateur status does not permit
them to accept pay for the mes
sages they will transmit for their
friends, but they get experience
out OF their "attic pastime" that
often shapes their future careers.
Every branch Of the radio indus
try Is honeycombed with ex-ama-
teurs, and they are recognized by
law in most of the freer countries
Of the world.
The new regulations are largely
concerned with routine and tech
nical operation. One of the most
important-and one that went
into effect on June 23-is the regu-
lation widening the amateur "tele-
phone" band of waves, or the
channels over which the hams"
try to talk to one another by radio.

tablish voice contact with one an
other.
