MckELLAR-BLACK BILL
AR0USES AIR INTEREST
Radio Group Is Alarmed by Plan
to Give Preference on
Channels

Aviation radio interests are consid-
srably alarmed about a provision in
eluded in the pending McKellar-Black
airmail bill. drafted after the blanket
cancellation Of airraan contracts,
which would give preference in the
ALLEGATION Of radio channels to those
lines holding contracts from Uncle
Sam.
The provision, which would specify
that the Federal Radio Commission
give preference to airplanes carrying
mail and passengers during the time
the contract is in effect, marks the
first time Congress has ever attempted
to dictate how channels shall be allo-
Gated. Paul Goldsborough, president
OF Aeronautical Radio, Inc, radio sub
sidiary of the country's biggest air
lines, has protested the provision as
discriminatory against all other radio
uses. and particularly as between air
craft carrying mail and passengers and
those operating without airmail con-
tracts.
All mobile services, of which avi-
alton is one, enjoy moral preference,
he pointed out, because they have a
safety of life" factor. but he holds it
is unfair to single out one class of
mobile service for preference over
others.

BREAKDOWN FACED
In CLEAR CHANNELS
WAAB, Boston, Wants to Change
Wave Length From Regional
ALLEGATION.

Stin another move in the growing
demand for q breakdown Of the East
West coast clear channels is seen In
the application filed this week by
Station WAAB, Boston, one of the
keys Of the Yankee network Of New
England, seeking authority to change
its wave length from the regional
channel of 1,41o kilocycles to the clear
channel of $40 kilocycles. The appli-
cation asks for 5000 watts for WAAB
and for authority to move its trans
mitter from Quincy to Auburndale.
Mass.
The 64G-kilocycle channel at pres
ent is occupied solely at night by
Station KFI, Los Angeles, which uses
$4,000 watts. The argument ad-
vanced by proponents Of East-West
coast duplication of such clear chan
nels Is that half their signal goes out
to sea. It is also argued that a 5000
watt station on such a channel, even
If used by a 50,000-watt station, would
create no interference in view Of the
width Of the continent that separates
the stations.
One Of the leading advocates Of
such clear channel duplication is
Senator Dill, Democrat, of Washing
ton, one of the authors of the radio
act Of 1927. Various proposals to
duplicate other clear channels, such
as those of WOR, WEAF, WIZ.
WABC, WBz and others on the
Eastern seaboard, have also been
made from time to time, and Sena-
tor Dill has suggested an amendment
to the radio law to require duplica-
ton If 1900 miles separate the sta
tions.

OUTLAWS ASK LICENSES
Several Texas Broadcasters tt
Have Hearings Soon.

Having lost their fights to stay on
the air on the plea that their broad
cast powers were so low that they do
not fall under the interstate jurisdic-
ton of the Federal Government, some
of the so-called Texas outlaw" broad
casters are now seeking to win places
on the air through the regular ncens-
ing channels Of the Federal Radio
Commission.
Applications for several new sta
tions in various towns in Texas have
been set for hearing before examiners
Of the commission. For the most
part, the commission reports, the un-

from the air because Of several sue
cessful criminal and civil prosecutions
conducted by the Government.

SEEKS TO BAN LIQUOR
ADVERTISING ON AIR
Bill Sponsored by Senator Capper
of Kansas Is Pressed for
Congress Action.

Liquor advertising, now permitted
on the radio as in newspapers in those
States that do not otherwise bar 1t,
would be prohibited from the air
entirely under a new bill which Sena-
tor Capper, dry Republican, of KAN
sas, asserts he will press for action
during this session of Congress. Sena-
tor Capper, besides being newspaper
and farm paper publisher, also owns a
radio station in his home city Of
Topeka.
Very few radio stations are carrying
hard liquor advertising, though the
roster of those that do includes some
of the biggest. The national networks
have also consistently refused such
business. Senator Capper's bill would.
besides levying fines and fixing pun
ishment of Imprisonment, cause radio
station operators to lose their licenses
for 30-day periods for the first ofense.
