Preparations for Future Mark 1885
Progress of the Radio Industry

than anything said or written or con-
jectured now about this highly COM
plex art, that the industrialists and
technicians must take toward their
eventual goal Of sight added to sound
via radio in the home.
In the meantime, televlsion appara-
tus Is not ready for the market, even
in crude form, and the public dur
ing 1885 showed its interest in radios
status quo by digging into their pock-
etbooks to buy more radios (mostly
sets tunable to the broadcast and
short-wave bands) than in any year
since the prosperity peak Of 1879.
Trade estimates are that 5000, 900
radios, representing the products Of
10000 workmen operating ut prosperity
pace in $50 manufacturing plants,
were sold during the year. Thus 1t Is
calculated that about 10000, 900 Amer
lean homes are now equipped with one
or more radios and not less than 4,000,-
600 motor cars. In all the world, ac-
cording to 1885 estimates from Geneva,
the radio population" does not exceed
So SOC, 900 receiving sets.
The American broadcastng industry
similarly tiourished. Representing q
plant investment estimated at about
$100, 900 900, the several national and
regional network organizations, which
are simply wire "hookups" Of individ.
ual stations of varying sizes and pow
ers, and the 640-odd stations IN the
United States, during 1885 enjoyed q
revenue estimated ut this writing ut
about $83, 900 900. This compares with
slightly less than $7s,0co.0oo during
1884, Of which the networks accounted
Tor nearly 80 per cent. The ratio ID
expected to be about the same when
the final figures are available for this
year.
As stated before, the major develop
ments Of 1885 were important chiefly
IN that they pointed toward future
Developments. Thus, on the regulatory
side Of radio, the appointment by
President Roosevelt of Aiming 8.
Prall as chairman Of the Federal Com
munications Commission. signalized q
campaign led by Prall to purge the
wave lengths Of undesirable broadcast
matter. Though the commissions au-
thority is limited, its influence Is large,
and at the end Of 1885 1t was still ex-
erting that influence, sometimes under
threat Of expulsion from the wave
lengths, TO persuade broadcasters to
cast out spurious and dubious claims
for advertised products and to tone
down "dime novel" and ''hoEror'
programs that might unduly excite
Juveniles.

Hollywood sophistication. It remains
to be seen whether this antitheses
Of the Benny-Bernie school Of radio
funmaking can hold up on q con-
tinuous program as well as 1t did
on his several guest appearances.
IT REMAINS now for . Govern
ment-appointed committee Of 40,
representing every shade Of opinion
from Government ownership advocacy
to the retention Of the status quo, to
determine how American broadcasting
shall be further utilized as an effec-
tive medium for education. Such 3
committee, to be known as the Fed
eral Radio Education Committee, and
to be headed by DR.. John w. Stude-
baker, commissioner Of education, has
been appointed by the Federal Com
munications Commission to attempt
to establish q proper naison between
education and radio.
Thus all of the fuss and bother
raised at the r. c. c. hearings that
lasted through four weeks Of the
Winter Of 1884, at which 135 wit
nesses appeared and $4,000 pages of
testimony were taken, may be finally
resolved by this educational court Of
last appeal, which presumably win be
as responsible to Congress as it is to
the r. c. C.
The 1884 hearings, which often be-
came acrimonious as educators and
others assailed the present system Of
broadcasting by private enterprisers,
were called to comply with a mandate
Of Congress that the commission shall
study q proposal that Congress shall
allocate fixed percentages of radio
facilities to particular kinds Of non
profit radio programs or to persons
identified with non-profit activities.
This order came as q result Of de-
mands Of certain educators and re-
ligionists for radio waves, which the
broedcaSters resisted because 1t meant
taking the equivalent amount Of IA
cilities away from them in view Of the
already overcrowded condition of the
broadcast band.
As A result Of the hearings the
p. c. c. recommended against
allocating any fixed percentages of
broadcast facilities by statute, assert
ing there is nc need for any change
in the existing law and that mo feasi-
BILE plan for a definite ALLEGATION" had
been presented by the educators. On
the basis Of its experience and that
Of the old radio commission in seeing
nearly 100 formerly licensed college
and university stations dwindle down
to about 80, chiefly due to sales Of
such stations by the institutions on
account Of their inability to support
them, the commission stated:
THE hearings developed no evi-
dence Of q real demand on the part
Of the great body Of non-proflt or
ganisations or on the part Of the gen.
eral public for the proposed alloca-
ton" The r. c. c. also added: "It
would appear that the interests Of the
non-proit organizations may be bet
ter served by the use Of existing
facilities
Thereupon, on its own voltion, the
F. c. c. asked the dissenting forces
to combine to eliminate controversy
and misunderstanding and to promote
active cooperation between educators
and broadcasters. The National Ad-
visory Council on Radio in Education,
non-profit organization of educa-
tors, and the National Association Of
Broadcasters agreed to underwrite
the expense Of the proposed COM
mittee.

OOKING at the radio industry
at large. the year 1a35-the

at large, the year 1s35-the
fifteenth since its founding
was notable more for its prepa-
rationS for what is to come than for
what was actually accomplished. Not
that the waning year was without Its
important achievements, far from it.
There were marked advances in the
entertainment, cultural, industrial
and regulatory phases Of radio, and
there was q distinct rise in its eco
nonic stature. But everything seemed
TO point TO future developments Of
such magnitude as to indicate that
radio, while no longer merely an in
FAINT industry, Is still not much more
than an adolescent growing slowly but
surely toward manhood.
The picture Of radio at manhood,
which should be reached at about the
same pace that 1t takes o youth aged
Is to achieve his majority, might be
painted something like this:
Receiving apparatus will be COM
bination sight and sound devices,
capable not only Of briging in voice
and music with utmost fidelity to the
original rendition. but also of picking
up animated pictures out Of the
mysterious ether and reproducing
them, like miniature movies, as small
but extremely clear images on nuores-
cent screens. Perhaps the same ap-
pratus, working overnight, will also
print facSimiles Of photographs, docu-
ments, handbills and portions Of
newspapers and deliver them into the
home. In brief, television and fac
einile reproduction win be added to
sound In the home radio instrument
OF the future. Moreover, all radios
will be truly Of "all-wsve" scope, tim
able TO ultra-short waves for sight
with sound. short waves for broadcasts
from abroad and the intermediate and
long waves for local and distant sound
broadcastS.
Big strides toward that end were
made during 1885. with laboratory sp-
paratus showing some amazing re-
suits. Technically these almost In
credible things can be done now
In the laboratory. But it Is far cry
from the laboratory to the home, and
at least two to six years must elapse
before field tests have proved whether
television and facsimile are ready to
be introduced to the public, and
whether the ultra-short waves are a.
effective as hoped for. Such f1eld
tests viii begin early in 1885 in New
York and vicinity, and o test Of ties
public's reactions to television in its
present state win actually be under
taken In London in the Spring Of
1885, Thsss viii point the way. more

their 1885 broadcasting plans.
In most surveys Maj. Bowes and his
amateurs continue to lead in general
popularity, but Jack Benny, Burns
and Allen, Fred Allen, Ben Bernie.
the various symphony hours and other
programs still rank high. It depends
upon your particular preference-and
every one has his own likes and dis
likes-whether you think they are
slipping or not; evidence can be pro-
vided pro and con, but the sponsors
are keeping them on, and that should
mean something.
One big sponsor is moving three
shows over from N. B. c. to c. B. s.,
which have won great popularity in
the past, banking on their continued
popularity with the audience. Start
ing January IL, c. B. s. will offer the
Beauty Box Theater" Saturdays
from 8 to o pm, with repeat for the
West from IL to IL PM; Gertrude
Berg, leading character in the Rise
OF the Goldbergs" and House OF
Glass" series, in . new five-times
weekly show, schedule to be announc-
ed later, and Phillips Lord Of Seth
Parker" fame, in o series Of crime
dramas Wednesday nights from 10 to
1880 pm.
NJ 3. C., January S, moves the
" popular Paul Whiteman show
under q new sponsor, to o Thursday
night. 9:4S to l0:30 pm, spot on its
Blue Network, while Whiteman's for
mer sponsor, January 2, starts q new
series featuring Bing Crosby and Bob
Burns Of Van Buren, Ark, on White
mans old Thursday night spot on the
Red Network, 10 to IL O'Clock.
All these are tried and tested basic
programs, but the sponsor Of Bing
Crosby and Bob Burns is undertaking
to build up 4 new star alongside an
old one in bringing the Arkansas
drawler and his famous "basooka" to
the same program with Bing Crosby
There are many who, having heard
Burns as Rudy vallee's and Paul
Whiteman's guest star, think he will
be one OF the big name" stars Of the
ensuing year. In his case it will be
0 radio buildup for an old-time vaude-
vile trouper who was first introduced
Of 1888.
DOB BURNS really is an ArkanSan
and his home town actually Il
Van Buren, which Is his vehicle fol
his homely quips about people ir
ieral and his host Of relatives irl
rticular. He has been on the stage
for nearly as years since he left the
UniverSary Of Arkansas, where he
studied engineering for two years
Except for his wartime service with
the Marines, who used him more as
an entertainer than as q fighter, he
has been connected with the stage
and screen throughout his career with
q few lapses during which he pub
lished o newspaper and was q barker
for an Atlantic City concession.
His "bazooka," made from two
pieces Of gas pipe and an old whisky
funnel secured from an Arkansas
monnshiner, Is his own invention
and it furnishes him with q vehicle
for the windup Of his act which he
always uses. In his new show, how
ever, he will broadcast from Holly
wood, acting as a sort Of special
news correspondent reporting from
the film capital his observations in
his own Arkansas drawl.
Experts say Burns success rests
on his manner Of delivery, rather
than what he says, for his gags
