"HE men who make the wheels
90 round in radio will gather
in Washington this month to
L appraise new technical at
tainments in the radio realm
and evolve means of putting them
to work
Meeting in joint session April
81 at the new National Academy of
Science Building, will be the Insti-
tute of Radio Engineers and the
American section of the International
Scientific Radio Union, both organi-
cations pre-eninent in their respec-
tive scientific fields. A preliminary
program lists discussions on some two
dozen technical radio subjects rang
ing from the job performed by the
modern radio tube to the use of the
ultra-high frequencies for the trans
mission Of entertainment programs.
To the laylnan these deliberations
will mean little, for they involve
theoretical uses of radio which may
not be applied practically for years to
come. However, the engineer who
understands the workings of the
ether will be provided with a glimpse
into radios future-notably the har-
Messing of the innumerable ultra
short waves and the adaptions of
television-destined to give to man
kind even greater service than the
developments of the past quarter CEN
tury.
Discussion on a wide variety of sub
tects will be opened by outstanding
scientists who will read papers based
on their own laboratory studies. OF
the many phases of radio expert
mentation now in progress only tele-
vision appears to be absent from the
agenda. but that subject inevitably
will be drawn into the discussion from
the floor.
Two Canadian radio scientists are
listed for discussions. They are Col.
w. A. Steel, member of the Canadian
Radio Broadcasting Commission, and
j. T. Henderson, member of the
Canadian National Research Council.
Facsimile transmission, which means
the transmission through space of
precise reproductions of any printed
or written matter, will be explained
by E. F. w. Alexanderson, famous
engineer of the General Electric Co.,
who has pioneered in visual radio
work.

SUGGESTS RADIO TAX
Noted Tenor Would Use Funds to
Support Opera Houses.

A tax of 25 or so cents a year on
all radios, in order to support munich
pal opera houses and local symphonic
organizations, is suggested by Lairitz
Melchoir, the noted tenor. as one way
to revive the great operatic traditions
of the past. In his native Denmark,
remarks Melchoir, no one regards the
yearly tax on radio as excessive, and
by that means great musical activities
in the cities are supported.
Efforts to impose radio set taxes in
the United States. such as are col
lected in most foreign countries for
the purpose usually Of supporting the
national broadcasting systems, have
always failed in the past.

CALIFORNIA FIRM ASKS
TO ERECT TEST STATION
Company Is Seventh to Seek

1900 Kilocycle Band.

Still another application for au-
thority to erect new experimental
broadcasting station in the recently
opened 1,500-16 900 kilocycle band has
been received by the Federal Radio
Commission. 1t is from the Pioneer
Mercantile Co., Bakersfield, Calf,
which seeks the ,55o-kilocycle chan
mel with 1000 watts.
The California applicant is one of
seven that has been set for the public
hearing scheduled to be held before
the full commission Wednesday. 1t is
already the holder of an experimental
television license, and presumably in
tends using the proposed broadcasting
station as an adjunct to its visual
broadcast tests.

| day and night operating schedule with
this unprecedented power. According
to its engineers. the station has been
enabled to override static and SUBJ
stantially reduce fading with its tre-
mendous output. The tenfold power
/ boost has increased the stations signal
strength at all points by approx
mately 1926 per cent, it is claimed.
The new station, constructed at a
cost of nearly $500,000. has been
authorized by the commission to
operate experimentally to test the ad-
vantages which accrue from super
power from the listeners standpoint.
A few months ago, the station con-
Quoted tests with 100000 watts dur
ing early morning hours only. Last
month it began using the power ev-
perimentally during daylight hours
only, and on March 81 was authorized
to begin temporary full-time tests as
the worlds biggest radio station.
These tests terminate April 3.
Should the technical data collected
from these full-time tests prove en-
tirely satisfactory. it is expected that
WLW will apply for regular authority
to utilize 100000 watts. A change In
radio regulations would be necessary,
since the maximum power now per-
mitted regularly is $4,000 watts. Fav-
orable result and favorable action by
the commission unquestionably will
lead to similar applications from big
stations on exclusive channels for
authority to increase their power be-
yond the present limit. Such stations.
some engineers hold, would in fact
become national outlets which could
be heard practically everywhere in
the country under favorable transmits
sion conditions.
