Senator King Will Renew
Fight For Center

Senator william H. King, chair.
man of the Senate District Com
mittee, was gathering additional
data today as a basis for a new
plea to the Public Works Admin
istration officials for funds for
the construction of the first unit
of the proposed municipal center
for Washington.
Unable after two previous at
tempts to obtain from the PWA
approval of the application for
the funds, the Senator, following
a conference with District Of
ficials yesterday, said he will press
the matter.
He will base his new plea al
most entirely upon the obligation
of the Federal Government to IL
nance the structure due to the
action of Congress in increasing
the amount which District heads
planned that the building should
cost. He said:
"The Federal Government
forced the District to buy the
land on which the building is
to be erected. The Federal Gov
eminent also redrafted the plans
for the building to make it far
beyond the plans the District
government originally proposed.

HUGE REVENUES
Barred IN TRIAL
Of GORDON

NEW YORK, Nov. "a GN.S0
The size of Waxey Gordon's brew
ing operations were indicated to-
day in his income tax trial, when
the Government produced checks
in payment of shipments Of malt
which totalled $500,000. The
checks were not written by Cor
dan, but by men who the Govern
ment holds were his agents.
To prove that the owners of the
huge bank accounts on which the
checks were written were Cor
don's agents, the Government
earlier in the day had introduced
checks from an insurance COM
pany compromising for minor &C
cidentS incurred by Waxey's fleet
Of beer trucks.
The insurance checks were made
to Irving Wexler, Gordon's real
name. But although they were in
dorsed Irving Wexler" it was not
done in Gordon'S handwriting. So
far in this trial the countless doc
uments introduced have failed to
contain single signature by Cor
don, except that on passport is
sued in 1925.
Someone had signed Gordon's
name and deposited the checks in
the bank accounts which the Gov
eminent holds we're the deposi-
tories of Gordon's money. And the
checks for the malt for the Cor
don brewerieS were drawn on the
same accounts.

NEWSPAPER SEEKS
new RADIO PLACE
Full Time 1,000-Watt Station
Asked in Waterbury to Operate
on 1920 Kilocycles.

A newspaper eager to get into radio
Is leading the way toward the widen
ing Of the broadcasting band Of wave
lengths to embrace the 10 channels
between 1.5oo-1 500 kilocycles recently
reserved by the Federal Radio Com
mission for general communication"
purposes. The newspaper is the Water
bury (Conn) Republican,
which has filed application for new
full-time 1.000-watt station to operate
on 1920 kilocycles.
Though the Radio Commission has
not definitely fixed upon a policy as
to the disposition of these waves. which
lie just above the present upper limit
Of the 550-15 500 kolicycle broadcast
band. its new regulations contemplate
clearing of the present occupants,
which are police, broadcast pickup,
television pickup. motion picture, ma
rine and fire services.
Most radio sets now being made can
tune in waves above 1900 kilocycles
because the makers want buyers to be
able to hear police broadcasts. It Is
estimated that 100000 Of the 18,000,-
900 sets now in use can already tune
up to 1000 kilocycleS. the obSolescence
factor in radio Is generally accepted as
three years. so that 1t Is believed that
most radios in use three years from
now will easily tune stations on wave
lengths at that limit.
The waves are not the most de-
sirable for broadcast purposes, being
in what is known as the short-wave
spectrum and thus being more or less
confined to local reception. But the
newspaper is willing to bank on the
future of radio, pioneer and new band
and build q local audience, If the COM
mission decides these channels shall be
made available for broadcasting pur-
poses Representing the newspaper in
its quest, the first demand for broad
casting privileges in the newly opened
spectrum, are George Sutton ana

D USSIA won radio recognition"
~ from the United States last
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

D USSIA won radio recognition"
~ from the United States last
week also when President
Kalinen spoke to the American
audience over an N. B. c. network
shortly after the special hookup
had been arranged for a two-way
conversation between CommisSar
Litvinoff In Washington and his
wife in Moscow, which was also
broadcast nationally. These were
the first Moscow brOadcaStS ever
heard in the United States.
1t has been possible for sew
eral years now to relay broadcastS
from Moscow, but the American
networks have never done So
though they wanted to on several
occasions-because of informal
suggestions from the State De-
partment. Indeed, Moscow has
been about the only place in the
civilized world, reachable by ra-
dio, that had not been heard in
the United States at one time or
another since short wave relay
broadcaSting began on wide
scale.
The Kalinen broadcast came di-
rect from the 15,O0O-Watt short
wave RNE, Moscow, while the Lit
vinoff exchange had to be sent by
wire between Moscow and Berlin
and then broadcast via short
waves directly to and from Ber-
lin. The American end was the
Radio Corporation of America
. international terminal on Long
Island, where a short wave code
circuit direct to Moscow has been
operated for commercial purposes
for several years.
1t is confidently expected that
more frequent exchanges of
br0adcaStS from Russia will now
be heard on the American radio
since all diplomatic barriers have
been removed to cause the radio
people here to hesitate lest they
be suspected of lending their ia
cilities to Soviet propaganda.

RULING LACKS CONTEST
Time for Appeals Against KYW
Removal Has Elapsed

Although 16 stations were involved IN
the controversy Of last Spring over the
proposed removal Of Station KYW,
Chicago, into Philadelphia, which was
recently authorized by the Federal
Radio Commission, not one has entered
an appeal in the courts from the COM
MISSIONS decision.
The time for filing appeals having
elapsed, the station can now be moved.
Its owners, the Westinghouse company,
will probably shut it down in Chicago
some time after January 1, 1884, though
the construction details at Philadelphia,
including finding of q site, remain to
be decided upon. When located at
Philadelphia the 10,000-watt station will
employ q directional antenna designed
to preclude interference on adjoining
channels and to keep the stations sig
mails directed inland instead Of radiat-
ing also out into the Atlantic.

Commission Plans Overhauling of
It's Quota System.

Not only does the Federal Radio
Commission intend to overhaul its quota
system so as to bring about better
equilibrium among the States in their
due allotment of broadcasting facilities,
but it intends to do so by fixing new
values on wave lengths. The fact that
some waves are better suited to broad
casting than others is well known in
radio engineering circles, more espe-
cially that waves at the lower end OF
the dial have better carrying capacity
than those toward the upper end.
The commissions engineers have been
Instructed to break down the waves into
four categories. tentatively, and then
to suggest quota values in each class
The tentative categories are 550-78O,

AID FROM STATES
Calls for Suggestions to Solve
Labor and Industry
Problems.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, December 13.-Sec-
retary Frances Perkins of the Depart
ment of Labor today called upon the
States for suggestions on how to solve
problems of labor and industry and said,
The stimulus to general industry from
a large, useful and necessary building
program is perhaps the single thing
most vital to recovery today"
Speaking in the capitol today before
labor and industrial leaders from Geor-
gia. South Carolina. Florida. Alabama
and Tennessee, the Secretary said she
planned a series of regional meetings
over the United States from which she
hopes to receive suggestions for desirable
minimum standards for labor and indus
trial legislation and administration.
Aim of Conferences.
THE aim of the conferences, Of which
this is the first, is cooperation between
the States and between the United
States Department of Labor and the
different State Departments in matters
affecting labor and industry she ex-
planned.
Similar conferences" she said, "are
planned soon in the Central West the
Southwest and other sections to discuss
the possibilities of cooperation between
the sovereign States and the Federal
Government on labor and industrial re-
covery problems" She stressed impor-
tance of large and useful building pro-
gram as one aid to industrial recovery.
Evening star., 1933-12-13

Figures available in Washington"
she went on, indicate that there has
been little work in the building trades
all over the country. Such hous-
ing and construction projects as are
planned should take up this slack and
increased purchasing power should be
of benefit to everyone. Groups
of wage earners should make
plans and forward them to Washington
as suggestions for the practical carrying
out of local housing programs. Social
surveys should be made in all cases
before architectural plans are made. Let
the human consideration about how
people live and want to live come first.
Let these homes be based on
human comfort and pleasure"
Labor's Farm Aid.
Explaining what the Labor Depart
ment is trying to do for the farmer,
Miss Perkins said that it has a large
share of responsibility in informing the
Nation of needs for the 10000 900 wage
earners and said that mot only must
it make employers aware of the neces-
sity of providing fully and equitably for
wage earners. but must make workers
themselves aware of the problems they
have to solve and aid in their solution.
