The observance this week
Of the 18th anniversary of the De-
troit News WWJ, with none other
than the eminent inventor DR.. Lee
DeForest on hand for the ceremonies
again brought fourth the claim from
that station that it is the ''oldest
station in the world today"
Inaugurated August 20, 1920, as an
amateur experimental tranSmitter. con-
structed by DR.. DeForest and licensed
under different set of call letters, the
Detroit News station was put into
operation largely because the son OF
the publisher Of that newspaper, young
William ]. Scripps, jr., now manager
of the station, was an amateur en-
thusiast. It broadcast sporadically to
the small group Of amateurs and tink-
erers interested in radio reception, at
the same time providing a source of
material for articles in the newspapers s
radio pages.
In the meantime. Dr. Frank Conrad,
the noted Westinghouse engineer who
Is sometimes called the father Of
American broadcasting," was continu-
ing at East Pittsburgh the expert
ments he had begun during the war
with voice and music by radio" This
led to the Inauguration of KDKA as
the first regular" broadcasting sta
ton in the United States on November
2, 1920, carrying the Harding Cox
election returns interspersed with re-
corded music. Station KDKA stayed

Representing a carry-over from

approval of some form Of health
insurance was expected to become
one Of the major issues.
Senator Dan E. Williams, Sonora,
has promised bill based on four
years investigation during which
he served as chairman of the SEN
ate public health committee.
Il propose to introduce legisla-
tion which will permit voluntary
health insurance which will not
be compulsory - merely an ena-
bling act to permit group practice
and spread the cost of medical
attention and disqualification by
putting it on a budgetary basis"
Williams said.
The veteran senator further ex-
planned that "all the safeguards
possible are thrown around this
proposed legislation so that the
quack and charlatan will be elimi-
mated"
In explanation of his bill, Will
liams added:
1T is no a panacea for the poor,
but it does provide for those who
wish to help themselves"
Legislators advocating the vol
untary health insurance plan after
the compulsory proposal failed at
passage two years ago, pointed out
that it has been proved by a score
of group health plans that for the
sum of from Sl.50 to So per month,
