SPECIAL PROGRAMS
FOR BYRD PLANNED
General Electric to Broadcast March
Of Events at Home to Explorers
in Antarctic.

Plans for a series of special broad
casts to the Byrd Antarctic expedition
we're announced yesterday by the Gen.
eral Electric Co. and the National
Broadcasting Co.
Timely presentations designed to pro-
vide link with the march Of events In
America and the rest Of the world dur
ing their absence will be short-waved
direct to their isolated outposts in the
Antarctic through the same wireless
equipment at Schenectady which so de-
pendably reached the party during pre-
Nous expeditions.
Facilities of the National Broadcast
ing Co. from coast to coast will be en-
ployed In connection with General Elec-
Sric's short-wave apparatus to send the
explorers q number Of special programs
designed to fill the gap in their contact
with the outside world while shut OIL
by the barriers Of ice.
Present plans are to start the sched-
ule even before the expedition reaches

ments are now being completed for the

BIZ THE RADIO EDITOR.

White House itself or from public
platforms, the ledge will be taken
off" the more momentouS pro-
nouncementS he wants to deliver
personally to the American peo-
pie via the radio.
Thus it was that the cere-
monies surrounding the award
of an honorary degree to
President Roosevelt by Washing
ton College at Chestertown, Md,
only three radio stations carried
his speech, although it was one
Of considerable public importance.
The two major networks were re-
quested by the White House to
hook up only WJSV and WCAO,
the washington and Baltimore
outlets Of the Columbia System,
and WMAL, the Washington out
let of National Broadcasting Co.
1t was the following day-last
Sunday night that President
Roosevelt went on the air for the
fourth time to give another
accounting of stewardship" to
the country. That popular in
terest was keyed to a high pitch
for this broadcast goes without
saying. Not only did the two
big networks hook up all their
combined 1870 stations, but several
score of non-network stations
were authorized to carry the
speech, as was Ed Wynn'S new
Amalgamated Broadcasting Sys-
tenn network in the East. In
addition, it was carried widely in
Canada and relayed via short
waves to any foreign countries
that wanted to pick it up.
The Roosevelt radio policy con-
trastS markedly with that of his
predecessors, nearly all of whose
public addresses were broadcast.
The late President Coolidge in
seven years had 81 hookups,
while former President Hoover
during his four years in Office was
heard just SO times on Nation
wide hookups. Neither. however,
used the radio for special chats"
with the people as President
Roosevelt Is doing.
Advisers to the White House on
radio matters are his secretaries.
especially Stephen T. Early, who
handles press and radio contacts.
Col. Louis M. Howe, the Presi-
dents first secretary, who is
himself weekly broadcaster on
current affairs, has become very
wise to the ways of radio and the
radio audience by reason of the
mass of fan mail he and his
weekly interviewer receive. Then,
too, the White House regularly
calls upon Herbert L. Pettey, sec
retary of the Federal Radio Com
mission, who handled the radio
phases Of the Democratic presi-
Dental campaign last year and
who is now acting as liaison man
between radio and the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
I'D FIRE CHIEF WYNN and

NEE, being, respectively, radios

waves Tuesday night to resume
their weekly frolics which kept
the network ablaze previous to
last July.
The first indication that Wynn
would be back on the air was
given $4,000 brother fire chiefs
throughout the country in a tele-
gram from Wynn saying don't
go to any fires Tuesday nights
beginning october 81"
The fire chief, of course. will
continue to be the headliner of

to the 15-minute SnatcheS
Of Philadelphia Symphony which
a cigarette company will sponsor
over the Columbia network be-
ginning late in November, will be
watched with keen interest by the
radio and musical worlds alike.
It is entirely a new departure In
symphonic broadcasting - but
Leopold Stokowski is noted for
his ventures into the new and
untried.
The new Stokowski series will
be heard daily except Sundays
over q coast-to-coaSt network
between o and 9:15 pm. It will
be offered entirely separately
from the II Friday afternoon
concerts by Mr.. StokowSki and
the Philadelphia Symphony.
These latter concerts are of an
hour and a half duration each
without commercial sponsorship.
Columbia admits there are few
If any classic symphonies capable
of performing in IS minutes and
that the library of tone poems
brief enough for such broadcastS
is extremely limited. However,
Mr.. Stokowski explains that each
15-minute evening broadcast will
mot be separated but will be like
links in a continuous chain"
The fact is that the symphonic
renditions will actually be Of IL
minutes or less duration, for time
must be taken out not only for
the sponsors announcement. but
for the brief talks by Mr.. Stokow-
ski himself about each evenings
Offering. Mr.. Stokowski says:
"At each broadcast I shall speak
with the utmost brevity of what
we are playing because my hope
is to interest those who love
music but have little experience
and knowledge of it,"
Among music lovers there will
inevitably be skeptics, who believe
that such short snatches, even If
offered seriatim over a period of
a whole year, cannot possibly
hold the calm, quiet and sus-
tanned interest that even a
Stokowski broadcast usually COM
mandS. The thought of COM
mercial announcements between
IL minutes or so of the highest
class OF music, with the pre-
ceding or succeeding radio peri
odS possibly running to Jazz or
comedy, may raise some revulSion
of feeling.
On the other hand, Mr.. Sokow-
ski, in agreeing to the arrange
ment, may be assumed to know
whereof he acts, for he Is recog-
nized as one of the greatest of
conductors and his PHILADELPHIA
Symphony is indisputably one OF
the great orchestras of the world.
It was Mr.. Stokowski, who in
his youth studied electrical en-
cheering and who has an amaz-
ing technical background Of radio
and acoustics, who last year
worked with Columbia radio en-
gineers in setting up an entirely
new pickup arrangement for
symphonic musician arrange
ment designed to catch every
reverberation period, balance
range frequency and tone inten-
sity and so control the input to
the microphone as to provide
authentic reception. Largely
through his efforts, the radio OF
today can transmit nearly all of
the vast range of frequencies
necessary to the broadcastin6 OF
symphonic music. All music
quate receiving set to feel that
he Is practically In the music
hall with Mr. Sokowski and his
orchestra.
