RADIO RAMBLES - PROGRAMS
Here and There
In the Realm Of
Broadcastins
BY STANLEY BIGELOW

Things are moving in WJsv's
way so fast that a couple Of
sacrifices that were planned in
the stations reorganization
scheme may not be needed.
It was originally announced
that the station would sign off
at midnight instead Of / a. m.
and that Elder Solomon Light
foot Michaux's broadcasts would
have to be curtailed pending ex-
periments to keep the station on
the air.
These changes have been in
effect, but it Is expected that
things will revert back to normal
very shortly. Columbia officials
have it that their experiments
in cooperation with the Naval
Research Laboratory to establish
q directional antenna are pro-
gessing.

REPORTS To AID
= BONDHOLDERS

Taking cognizance of the fact
that bondholders, as well as stock
holders, have suffered through
lack Of information as to their
companies affairs, the New York
Stock Exchange has indicated
that in the future corporations
will be required to send earnings
reports to bondholders.
Such action would set another
precedent in financial practice as
heretofore companies have only
been required to make reports
available to stockholders.
AS {. preliminary step, the Ex-
Rhange has sent out question
naire to all corporations whose
bonds are listed on the Exchange
asking them what means they use

hands Of registered bondholders
and when the last statements were
made available to them.

"Such individuals and groups
frequently demand that school

contractors.
"E-Ore stringent laws are
needed to cope with these self

there were possible ways Of re-
