pates an attendance Of some 500 of
the Nations 900 stations at its next
convention, to be held there Septem-
Der 16, II, 18 and 10. Aside from the

formity with changes wrought by the

the Radio Commission that he has
assets Of $4,000 to qualify him to
conduct the necessary experiments.

tngs recently granted four applicants
places on the three so-called high

the upper limits of most broadcast
receiver dials, but nearly all sets now
made and most made In the last few
years can tune them In. Those get
ting the new waves must pioneer

first secured radio licenses developed
their channels - namely, expend
enough financial and technical re-
sources In their stations to make 1t
possible to hear them and make the
