After: Pa1ey.

A 9 the North American Radio
~ Conference ut Mexico City be-
"A gins its third week Of delibera-
1 a ton In the hope Of solving the
perplex1ng broadcasting prob
lens Of the continent, signs are plentt-
full that whichever way the wind blows
there will be sweeping reallocation Of
facilities in the United
States in the not distant future.
After converting on July 10 the con-
ference split into committees to deal
with various aspects Of the problems to
be considered at full sessions later on.
and Central American countries must
find q way to allocate the limited num-
Der of wave lengths available on an
equitable basis, with Mexico the pivotal
nation. In these negotiations. All avail
able wave lengths now are divided be-
tween the United States and Canada,
and the present conference was called
to work out q new distribution, with
Mexico and the Central American ma
lions taken into consideration.
May Relinquish Some.
That the United States will be forced
to relinquish some of its frequencieS ap-
pears certain. The question Is how
many United States broadcasting in
terests favor enlargement Of the broad
cast band to include additional long
wave channels In the hope that stations
in this country would be less vulnerable
to demands for their assignments by
the other nations This plan has met
steadfast opposition, however, from
tertgtS now occupying those waves.
An0oY61aGa ~ the nnatr0Wna nf n
conference, therefore, II seems certain
that the Federal Radio Commission
win b forced to work out q yediStribu-
ton Of channel In this country late
this year or In 1884. The award to
Mexico Of two or three Of the Omitted
States exclusive wave lengths would
mako q reallocation more or less I'M
perat4ve, according to radio engineers.
Casing Interference.
None Of the nations south Of the
United States has regularly allocated
wave lengths. Their stations, operat-
ing ON pre-empted wave lengths in be-
tween those used by Canada and the
United States. have caused serious
interference in several instances with
licensed stations to the north. This
is particularly true Of Mexican sta
border with high power. and it is
understood the United States delega-
ton is prepared to demand the elimi-
nation Of such stations as condi-
ton precedent to any wave-length
agreement.
Credence Is given reports Of an i'm
pending reallocation in this country
by the fact that all of the commits
sion's technical experts who would
fiure in the working out of such an ar
rangement are present at the confer
ence as technical advisers. DR.. C. B.
Jolliffe. chief engineer; Andrew D.
Ring, broadcasting ALLEGATIONS expert,
and E. K Jet, assistant chief engineer
in charge Of services other than broad
casting, are on hand.

BATTLE FOR RADIO
CHANNELSL0OM
Newspaper Wned Stations
in Illinois Wisc0nsion Area
Seeking Changes.

A lively Winters battle before the
Federal Radio Commission between sew
eral newspaper-owned radio stations
in the Illinois Wisconsin area, each
seeking to improve its present broad
casting facilities or to defend what 1t
now has, is forecast by the advent OF
Station WTMJ. of the Milwaukee
Journal, into the fight for a clear
channel for underquota Wisconsin.
In the wake of the recent application
of VIDA, owned jointly by the Madison
Capital Times and Wisconsin State
Journal, for half time on the clear
channel of WGN, Of the Chicgo Tribune,
the Milwaukee Journal station has just
applied for the clear channel of WMAQ,
half owned by the Chicago Daily News
and half owned and operated by the
National Broadcasting Co.
To meet quota requirements, the Mil
waukee Journal also asks for the quota
facilities of VIVA, University of Wis
consin station at Madison, and WLBL,
State-owned agricultural department
station at Stevens Point, Wis, which
would mean their elimination. SINH
larly WIBA had asked for the quota
facilities of the same two State-owned
stations. Elisha Hanson, counsel for
WTMJ, asserts that the State is get
ting weary of supporting the two sta
lions, and that they should be elm
mated. Philip La Toilette, former
Governor of Wisconsin, is said to rep
resent the Madison newspapers.
The Milwaukee journal enters an
alternative proposal in the event it
fails to secure the WMAQ clear wave.
1t asks for authority to erect a sup
Elemental 1,000-watt station at Ellis,
Wis, about ITO miles northwest Of
