wired radio service, it established un-
der Associated Music Publishers a
transcription library, recording its
copyrighted numbers on electrical
transcriptions. These likewise are ear
marked for use in wired radio, but
in the interim are being sold to broad
casting stations.
IT WAS 10 years ago that Nathan
Burkan, general counsel of the
American Society of Composers, Au-
thors and Publishers. in appearing be-
fore the House Patents Committee,
pointed to wired wireless as the great
threat to space broadcasting." Then
he said, 1t was likely to be introduced
any day and destroy" what space
radio there was at the time.
A few weeks ago Burkan again ap-
peared before the same committee
considering copyright legislation, and
made similar statements. Representa-
tives of broadcasters, however, told
the committee they felt wired radio
was not threat at all.
Thus, it is anybody's guess whether
wired radio ever will become compet-
itor Of space radio. The system, tech
nically, is feasible, but whether the
public will pay for service, when it
now gets space radio" entertainment
gratis, is question.
MOT to be outdone by their Occi-
= dental brethren. Japanese scien-
fists are spending long hours in labo-
ratories working on television appa-
ratus. Their work has been speeded
up by government appropriation OF
100000 yen (almost $100,000), which
probably will be used to erect a pow
erful television transmitting station,
according to reports received in Of
fetal sources here.
For more than 10 years Japanese
laboratory workers have been expert
menting with visual broadcasting.
Opinion varies as to the time it will
reach the practical stage, but DR.. K.
Takayanagi, one of the leading ex-
perimenters, believes it will be techni-
cally feasible to start broadcastS by
the end of 1886. The main problem,
he believes, is to get set makers inter-
ested in producing equipment that
the public can afford to buy.
His optimism is not shared by Of
ficers of the official Japanese Broad
casting Corp, who are concerned
about practical phases of the problem.
DR.. Takayanagi experimental for
some time with a televisiof1 process
that required use of motion picture
film, with a lag of several minutes
between the time the pictures are
taken and the time they are placed
on view. Recently he has taken more
interest in the electrical scanning
systems, which are used by many
leading American experimenters.
ONE type Of television, that can be
mentioned only in whispers in
this country for fear of shocking those
concerned with it, Is natural color
television. At Waseda University in
Japan efforts are being made to pro-
duce natural color television and a
new type of mirror wheel is being
used by the experimenters.
japanese scientists have acquired
equipment from other countries and
have had some success in duplicating
some of the delicate apparatus. Ac-
cording to word from the United
States trade commissioner at Toxic,
Carl H. Boehringer, some 20 patents
have been granted for Japanese tele-
vision developments.

Stations Fight for Ne,0 Super-Po,cer
Proved Successful in WLW Tests

"A BATTLE of behemoths in radio
- is expected to take place before
the Federal Communications Com
mission toward the end of this year.
The fight will be over the right of a
half-dozen or more stations to use
super-power, each one of which
aspires to become another WLW,
crashing through space with power Of
100000 watts, which will permit it to
be heard over most of the country.
Today there are five applications
pending before the F. c. c. for the
right to use this terrific energy and
follow in the footsteps of WLW. Each
station wants to spend about $500, 900,
or on the basis Of 81 per watt, for
the right to increase its energy. The
official radio regulations, however,
specify that the maximum power al
lowance on a regular basis be $4,000.
And therein lies the regulatory
trouble.
wLW was authorized to use super
power some two years ago on an ex-
perimental basis. It is licensed to use
only SO 900 watts regularly, and en-
ploys the additional 100000 watts on
q purely experimental basis. But it
has proved the efficacy of this order of
power and that is the reason other
stations are pressing for correspond
ing increases.
Before the r. c. G. will authorize
these increases, it must consider the
advisability Of changing its regula-
tions to allow the new top energy. 1t
is awaiting the results of engineering
surveys first. Then 1t unquestionably
will want to hold hearings with re-
spect to the change in regulations, be-
cause some lawyers believe it is re-
ouired to do so under the law.
1t is confidently expected the regu-
lations will be changed, since super
power has proved itself by serving q
greater number of listeners with bet
ter signal strength. The element of
time therefore comes into the picture.
r. c. c. spokesmen believe 1t will be at
least next Winter before it can call
hearings on the pending applications
for super-power.
The applications now pending for
100000 watts are those of WIZ, New
York, key Of the Blue network of N.
3. c.; KNX, Los Angeles, which has
been sold by its private owners to Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System. subject
to r. G. c. approval; WHAS, Louis
vile. operated by the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal; WHO, Des Moines, Iowa,
and WGN, Chicago, operated by the
Chicago Tribune. Each now operates
on q clear channel. with the present
maximum power of $4,000 watts.
sThe experience Of WLW has been
that with its 10-fold increase In power

KDKA Gets New Tower.

DLANS for a new antenna tower for

increased its coverage by 325 per cent.
In other words, the ratio Of signal
strength does not increase in propor-
tion to increase in power. The great
est fear Of officials, and of listeners,
was that WLW would blanket" out
reception from other stations with its
giant power wallop. This has not
proved the case, however.

q patented means of feeding speech
or music along telephone or power
lines into the homes. No mterfer-
ence is caused, since the program
frequencies adhere to the exterior of
the wires. At first it was said that
wired radio would do away with
space radio"
The North American Co., giant
utility holding company, bought
wired radio patents, and it was gen.
orally voiced about that it would
. launch the wired entertainment
service as an adjunct of its own
light and power business. 1t had in
mind renting receivers to the con-
sumner and adding the cost of about
S. per month to the power bill.
Inc, the North American sub
sidiary, began experimental opera
tions in Cleveland. 1t installed about
200 sets in selected residences, mainly
those of its employees, and fed re-
corded programs from a central sta
ton. These experiments were termi-
mated rather abruptly last February,
although E. H H. Connick, vice presi-
dent Of the operating company, which
called itself Muzak, Inc, of Ohio, said
the experiment was entirely success
full.
Last month. Muzak, Inc, OF New
York, another subsidiary, began
operations in New York City on an
experimental basis. Both business
and residential clients are being
served in downtown New York at
rentals of SIS per month. The pro-
grams, like those in Cleveland. are
fed from a central station by electrical
transcription. A chain Of grocery
stores in New York City last week
also arranged to use Muzak expert
mentally in so Of its units.
The original wired radio plan en-
Visioned service on practically Ma
tion-wide basis. There were to be
several different types of programs,
such as classical music. popular music,
speeches, and even commercial pro-
grams. These would be fed on diff
fent channels so that the listener, by
the simple expedient of throwing
toggle switch, could get the type of
program he desired.
PRESUMABLY this is still in the
minds of the North American peo-
pie. They would profit, it is indicated,
not only from the receiving set rem
tails, which would be set up to defray
program costs, but also through in
creased consumer use of electric cur
to activate the sets and also would be
used for illumination while listening.
But wired radio has taken different
tangent during the last year. Several
companies, using similar methods, are
feeding sports results and news pro-
grams into hotels, taverns, barber
shops and other small businesses on
rental basis. This has opened an
entirely new field, but it is not the
field that the North American Co. had
in mind.

cause of economic conditions, it began
to sell performance rights for its mu-
