u. S. TO PROSECUTE
so TEXAS STATIONS
Defiance of Government Based on
Assertion They Are Staying
Within State.

Uncle Sam will take vigorous steps
to wipe oat some so outlaw" broad
casting stations in Texas, which have
formed an association openly to resist
the Federal Government on the ground
that they are subject only to State
regulation
A special session Of the grand jury
has been requested at Lubbock, Texas,
before the Federal District Court to
prosecute the first dozen cases The
Federal Radio Commission is collabo-
rating with the Department of JUS
tice in handling the cases, since they
will serve as test for other boot
leg" stations. All told, it is estimated
that some $50 Illegal broadcasting sta
ticns are under investigation in this
country.
The Federal radio law prescribes that
radio, as interstate commerce, is sub
ject only to Federal regulation. All
stations, whatever their character, must
procure licenses from the radio COM
mission, as the licensing body set up
by Congress Penalties of five years
imprisonment, $4,000 fine, or both. are
prescribed for violation of this law
and several convictions have been pro-
cured during the last three years
Most of the unlicensed Texas stations
have joined group which they call
the Texas Independent Radio Advertis-
ing Association. This organization an
rounced that as long as the stations,
which are of low power, do only intra-
state broadcasting they are violating
no laws or regulations and are within
their rights.

POLICING WAVE LENGTHS
MADE EASIER FOR U. S.

High precision short wave radio re-
ceiving sets, capable of tuning in all
wave lengths from l 500 to 10000 kilo-
cycles 600 to is meters) have been
ordered by the Federal Radio Com
mission to be employed for policing the
wave lengths on which ship, coastal,
| aviation, amateur, television police and
various other types of radio stations
operate.
Ten of the instruments have been
ordered for delivery by July l. one each
| to be used at the official monitoring
stations at Boston, Baltimore, Atlanta.
Portland, Greg; San Pedro. Calf; San
Francisco and Grand Island. Nebr One
will be used at Washington headquarters
and two will be held as spares.
Replacing obsolete equipment that re-
qulred complicated multiple tuning
methods. the new instruments can tune
in a particular wave length by the
simple twist of single dial. The
commissions engineers and field men
propose to use them to detect violations
of regulations, including possibly the
further detection of radio stations used
by rum runners for signaling between
land and shore. The commission re-
Gently also ordered II new precision
broadcast receivers and four recording
instruments to check broadcasting sta
tion operation and to gather evidence
about the program content of stations
against which complaints have been
lodged.

DOUBLE CALL LETTERS
ARE BEING ELIMINATED
Stations Conforming With Requests
of Commission to Drop
Hyphenated Calls.

Double sets Of call letters for single
broadcasting stations are slowly but
surely being eliminated from the radio
rolls. Following the example of the
Canadian Radio Commission. which
recently ruled out all phantom" calls.
the Federal Radio Commission has
asked all stations employing the
hyphenated calls to drop ore or the
other of them. Stations for the most
part are willingly complying
Thus during the last month a dozen
dual call letters were cut out. notably
KYW-KFKX. Chicago, which is now
simply KYW; WGN-WLIB, Chicago,
now WGN; WBBM-WJBT. Chicago
now WBBM; WENR-WBCN, Chicago
now WENR; WHEC-WABO, Rochester
now WHEC: WLB-WGMS, Minneap-
oils, now WLB: WNAC-WBIS, Boston
now WNAC; WORC-WEPS. Worcester,
Mass. now WORC; WPRO-WPAW,
Providence, now WPRO.
For the most part. few stations ever
used the second set of call letters,
which were usually obtained when the
stations acquired other local outlets
whose identities they did not care to
lose entirely. The commission wants
the dual calls out altogether. but chose
to ask the stations to drop them VOL
unfairly rather than pass regulation
ordering them out.
