He finally hit Washington, D.

given in his honor. With the cof-

And in due time, after many
people had said very little, the
Maharajah was called upon for a
few remarks.
Now it so happened that this
Maharajah spoke no English, and
it was necessary for his secretary
to translate his words as he went
along. The secretary was no

he served his purpose well

rose again.
"Maharajah he say everything

He sat, The applause was very
long-but the Maharajah wasn't
quite finished yet. He stood up.

SCIENTISTS FIND
NEW RADIO BANDS
Hold Economic Conditions Are
Major Deterrent to Use
for BroadCaSting.

TREMENDOUS new viStas Of radio
communication, affording unlim-
tied space in the ether" for
hundreds of new local broadcast
ing stations, for television and
for innumerable other radio pursuits,
have been discovered" by radio
scientists in their untiring probings Of
the spectrum.
Although unknown to the public, the
Harvesting of these new bands Of wave
lengths, technically called the ultra
high freuuencies, has already been ac-
compEshed. Engineers themselves claim
that new broadcasting stations could
be operated in these bands today to
provide thigh-quality'' service. They
hold that economic conditions are the
major deterrent
Confidential research and progress
records of the Federal Radio Commits
sion, submitted by scores OF expert
menters in these bands, tell the amazing
stories about the ultra-high frequencles.
BY piecing together these mandatory
technical reports, submitted periodically,
the commission has found that prac-
tically all of the important technical
obstacles to the use Of these channels
have been surmOunted. More work Ie-
mains to be dCne. but the evidence al
ready available is regarded sufficiently
conprehenSive to varrant tee c9nTic N &c
ton that channels ranging above $1,000
kilocycles 90 mete-s) on into indnlty
are workable
AS a matter of fact, many Of these
channels already are being used ex-
perimentally in communication, both
code and broadcasting. 1t appears to
be only a question of time-and money
until the bands are opened CONNER
cially. When that time comes, mod
ern radios most serious problem, that
of lack of supply of frequencies to
meet demand, will be solved.
Suited for Local Broadcasting.
These channels, which simulate light
waves in that they are blocked by OBJ
jects in their paths, are held to be ad-
mirably suited for purely local broad
casting among the manifold other uses
to which they can be put. Each city
town and hamlet can ultimately have its
own local station on one of these high
quality" channels assuming it wants
one. The technical qualities of these
short waves are such that there is no
danger Of interference with stations as
near as 20 miles away operating on
the same wave. This means that the
same channel can be duplicated with
station assignments each 90 miles, and
that perhaps several hundred stations
throughout the country could be as
signed on the same wave without inter-
ference.
Because there is virtually unlimited
space in these ultra-high bands, much
broader channels, making for higher
quality transmission, probably will be
made available. Low power, which
would entail the use Of relatively mex
pensive equipment. it is expected.
would prove adequate for the local COW

quencies for services other than tele-
vision, the commission states:
1T has been realized for several years
that very high frequencies have very

ton field, but only recently has sllita-
BILE equipment been available. De-
mands for assignments are being made

Although the transmission charac-
teriSticS Of the frequency band, for
which commercial apparatus had been
designed, are sufficiently well known
at this time to leave no doubt as to
their usefulness in many Of the es-
tablished services, there has not been
enough data available to determine the
particular frequencies within the entire
range most suitable for particular serv-
ices. These data must be obtained be-
fore any plan Of ALLEGATION could be
considered.
This report was written as of last
June. Since then there have been sig

sion clearly states it is convinced of

broadcasting, but its plan is to retain
absolute control of the frequencies by

These developments, plus other lab

Many newspapers have been anxious to
acquire stations as logical adjuncts OF
their publications. but have been blocked
because the existing broadcast band was
crammed full and because so few
worthwhile existing stations have been
for sale. Newspapers are seen as ex-
ceptionallv well-qualified operators of
stations, because of their concept of
public service, and because in many
ways radio is regarded as audible jour-
ualism."

There would of course, be the prob

Two-way telephone (broadcasting)
communication in these ultra-high
bands has been maintained in Hawaii
for several years in regular CONNER

half dozen cities in this country are
using them in crime service on an
experimental basis. All Of the large
