Unique Birthday
Party Is Planned
For the President

in Celebrating SD
Anniversary.

President Roosevelt's SD birthday
anniversary, Tuesday, January 80, will
be the occasion for one Of the most un-
usual events ever staged in the history
of radio. On that evening, from 11:15
to 1915 am, the entire Notion will
Join over combined N B. c. and c. B. S.
networks in birthday ball In the presi-
dents honor. Included in the festiW-
ties will be a short address by Mr..
Roosevelt.
Already committees are at work in
cities, towns and hamlets throughout
the country, organizing dances, parties
and community gatherings to partici-
pate in the extraordinary broadcast
Dance music and other entertainment
features will be provided by noted Or
chestras and artists in various cities,
and the Nationwide celebration will be
heard in every part of the country.
The financial proceeds from the
birthday party will go to the perma-
nent endowment Of the Warm Springs
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis as
a gift Of the American people Hun
dreds Of prominent citizens in more
scores Of business, civic and fraternal
organizations. have accepted the inN-
tation Of the National Committee, head

100000 BROADCAST
ON N. B. c.. PROGRAMS
$4,000 Features on Air So Far This Year.
President Speaks 20 Times
Since In Office

Engineers and announcers will be
stationed in a parterre box above the
famous Golden Horseshoe. The op-
orators, working in almost complete
darkness, must have good knowledge
of the opera being broadcast to assure
perfect tuning. The announcer, equip
ped with earphones, will be in small
room behind the box, the door of which
is to be fitted with a glass panel so he
can see the stage and talk to the radio
audience without being heard in the
auditorium.
CARRYING with him stock Of re-
cordings Of the best programs
offered to British listeners, Malcolm
Frost Of the staff of the British Broad
casting Corporation has gone to Canada
to blaze the trial of empire broadcast
ing there" He is going to perform
them for the Canadian Radio Commis-
sion. which, unlike the American Com
mission. is actually the program op-
Canadian stations and wide Canadian
network, as well as the regulator OF
private broadcasting throughout the
Dominion.
The recordings have already been
placed on Australian and South African
stations under the British scheme of
binding its colonies and dominions more
closely to the mother land through the
medium of radio The programs range
from drama to vaudeville and are de-
signed, as the B. B. c. has stated, to
help raise the standard of local pro-
grams.
The B. B. C. offers It's recording SerV-
ice as a supplement to its regular En-
service, which at different hours of the
day sends regular programs from Lon
don to various parts Of the world to be
picked up by local stations and rebroao-
cast. Atmospheric conditions. however,
frequently interfere with this service.
The B. B. G. follows policy of record
ing practically all of its major broad
castS-a practice the American net
works and broadcasters have almost
completely neglected has built up
a tremendous library of historical
broadcasts to be repeated on the occa-
sion Of anniversaries, etc.

TWELVE HUNDRED Office radios fed
from a single antenna, known as
the Antenaplex system, Is Radio City's
newest gift to progress.
Inc central antenna, consisting OF
two 20-foot poles erected at the top of
the 31-story RK-O Building. feeds to
outlets in the individual Offices that
consist of a single wall plate with two
plugs. one for antenna and ground and
the other for power supply. The Office
radio auditor can tune in, any station
within range.
The system is seen by its sponsors as
foreshadowing tbs time when all mod
ern Office buildings will be equipped for
radio reception, which is difficult now
because of many interference factors.
The R-K-O Building is the first unit
in the gigantic Radio City enterprise to
be equipped for convenient radio recep-
ton, the builders Of the R. C. A. Build
ing and other units of the Rockefeller
project having apparently overlooked
the reception phase in their original
construction plans in their zeal to build
a great center for the transmission of
national radio programs.

be constructed and pointed toward
Buenos Aires, and that ought to give
the equivalent of ten to twenty-fold
increase in power.
Conditions for short-wave reception
are improving with the present SUM-
spot cycle and with Summer down
under, while it is Winter up here.
Radio may be considered as still suffer
ing from a hangover of Summertime
static. While we were down there we
found very favorable broadcast recep-
ton conditions from Buenos Aires
throughout the day, and If it works
one way it will work equally well the
other
'I believe it has been a wonderful
Job so far, considering the obstacles" :"
Mr.. Hanson was told that network
engineers calculated that reception thus
far had ranged Spottedly from 40 per
cent to rs per cent of what is regarded
as perfection in relay broadcasting.
This was good, he said. considering the
instability of ship radio and the fact
that the vessels position has shifted
about 1900 miles each week. The
higher percentage incidentally, was
achieved as the vessel moved farther
southwark. Then 1t was considerably
bettered from the stable position Of
the fourth broadcast at Wellington.
Good Engineering Job.
Lieut. Jett's observations were much
the same. Considering the shifting
position of the vessel" he said, land
the imposSibility of determining the
proper frequency ahead Of time among
the Is we have assigned the expedition,
they have been doing a good engineer
ing Job. When they arrive at the base,
more power will be available, the an
tenna can be directed properly and
precise freqeuncieS can be selected be-
forehand, so that things ought to i'm
prove very much.
"I think the public ought to be pa
tient and Columbia deserves credit for
having its New York announcer warn
listeners frankly beforehand that the
radio engineers themselves don't know
whether the proper contacts can be
made. The public is told that the
almost impossible is being attempted. d..
and the fact that 1t may be half
achieved ought to be quite satisfying
for the time being. I've been tuning
all the broadcasts in and ] am walt
ing with great interest to see what
they do when they get their set-up
working at Little America
Broadcast Channels.
Edwin X. Cohan. Columbia technical
director, gave an inkling of the tech
nical obstacles when he reported that
the first relay from the ship was di-
rected to Buenos Aires and thence to
Riverhead, Long Island. This did not
work very well from a rolling ship, so
| the next broadcast was to Honolulu
and then to Riverhead. The third had
to be sent from Honolulu to San Fran
cisco by radio and thence by wire to
New York, as was the fourth.
The third broadcast, incidentally,
came through about rs per cent and
might have been even better were IL
not for a persistent swishing noise that
many listeners thought was the break
ing Of the waves during the storm that
made Announcer Murphy suffer so
badly from NAL de mer. As a matter
of fact, the wave swishing sound was
not of the sea but of the ether waves,
caused. the engineers say, by inter-
ference coming from badly shielded
ignition in an automobile or an air
plane near the relay transmitter at
Honolulu. ....

BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

~ NCE every year about this time,
the statistical bureaus of the
networks begin sending out re-
~ ports, reviewing the activities
of the preceding IL months.
The FIRST to reach Washington came
from N. B. c. headquarters in New
York, which showed that so far this
year $4,000 programs have gone out
over its networks, which involved
something like 100000 individual ap-
pearances before the microphone by
singers, musicians, actors and speakers
According to the N B. c. Statisticians,
one of the most important developments
of 1888 was the growth of radios use
as means of direct contact between
the people of the United States and
their Government, especially the head
of the Government.
Roosevelt 20 Times on Air.
President Roosevelt, the recapitula-
tion revealed, broadcast 20 times dur
ing his first nine months in Office. Most
important were the addresses in which
he reported directly to the people on
matters of wide national significance,
such as the banking moratorium, the
general policies of the administration,
farm relief and progress under the ma
tlonal recovery program.
In addition to the President, every
member of the cabinet was heard over
the N. B. G. networks during the year
Numerous Senators and Representatives
also spoke. Many of them were heard
during the weekly National Radio
Forum, arranged by The Washington
Star.
