F. C. C. Is Preparing for Regulation
Of TeleUiSiOn, Facsimile Services

The dozen experimenters or so IN
those bands, including the r. G. A.
and Philco companies, will be given
specific assignments. They will be
authorized to superimpose Sound"
broadcasts upon the visual bands, so
that the listener ultimately will get
pictures with his music or voice.
In addition, iron-clad rules forbid
ding the sale Of sponsored programs
on visual broadcasts were adopted. But
a broadcasting station which this year
or next may operate television sta
ton in conjunction with its regular
facility, will be permitted to flash
trademarks" or other identity adver-
tising in his television picture. In
other words, advertising to limited
extent will be allowed, but the televi-
sion operator won't be able to charge
for 1t.
The same sort Of regulations against
commercializing experimental opera
tions are invoked for such services as
facsimile, international broadcasting
designed for reception in foreign coun-
tries and ultra-high frequency broad
casting, sometimes called "apex" The
latter development is one Of the most
important of the decade in radio. It
has been found that ow-power stations
operating on frequencies above $4,000
kilocycles can cover local areas of 10
to Is miles with fine signal strength.
Evening star., 1936-05-31

EGULATORY preparations for the
~ opening of vast new fields for
radio development. contemplating the
inauguration of such services as tele-
vision and facsimile (still picture)
transmission, have been made by the
Federal Communications Commission.
After a month of study and analy-
sis, the F. c. c. Broadcast Division
last week adopted new rules and reg
ulations governing all future opera
tions except those in the regular
broadcast band, on which about $50
broadcasting stations now operate.
Strict new rules allocating particular
brands of wave lengths to particular
services were adopted to become effec-
tive July l.
Today, to the general public, these
rules are of no real consequence, since
they do not affect programing in any
way, or change the assignment of a
single station to which the public at
large listens. But they are destined to
be Of great future importance, for they
contemplate the orderly use and de-
velopment of these new vistas of radio
communications which have been the
goal of scientists in the laboratories
for many years.
Specifically, the F. C. c. allocated
definite waves in the so-called ultra
high range for television when 1t
should emerge from the laboratory.

"Television," he declared, will not

All Of which Is pretty good testi-
mony to the theory that-next to
getting hold Of an idea-knowing
when to turn loose of that same idea
is the most difficult job with which
the broadcaster is faced. II was a
good idea at the time, all right, when
Jack Pearl introduced the baron to
the air. But it would have been an
equally good idea If Mr.. Pearl had
been willing to recognize the fact
that it would have been smart to take
the baron off the air and come back
to radio in a new guise.
You remember that the basic idea
of the baron's show was the fact
that we all love a lovable liar. That's
what Script-writer Wells made of the
baron on paper, and that's the idea
on which he sold the sponsor. He
sold him on the idea itself-not on

Jack Pearl is seldom heard from these

to relinquish an idea and give new
radio formula a trial.

IF, THE last you heard, the villain

heroine and you can't seem to find

be heard by fairgoers over an expan-
sive public address system. There
are 20 banks Of immense loud speak
ers placed at strategic points through
out the 180-acre exposition park. In
addition there are two main studios,
fully fitted out, and score Of remote
pickup points from which programs
can be relayed to the main control
for feeding to networks or to stations
or to the public address system. The
public address installation alone cost
$150.0o0.
A UNIQUE feature of the studios
n Is the arrangement of an open
court between the wings Of the
U-shaped building. More than 500
persons in the court can view the
programs as presented through plate
glass windows. Practically all radio
presentations will be by artists in
full regalia.
Placed at strategic points through
out the 180-acre exposition park are
the 20 reproducing station which carry
the service of the system to all areas.
Singly or in combinations these units
can carry six different programs at
the same time or separate programs
on any one. Thus, each special event
can be furnished with program or
music suitable to the theme of the
event. Important announcements can
be made to cover the entire park.
There are two sound trucks to give
additional coverage wherever desired.
Programs, both for release to net
works and stations and to the gigantic
public address system. will originate
in three ways-live talent shows from
the studios, live talent shows from re-
mote points and complete library of
more than 5000 electrical transcript
tions. These latter will be used to
fill in when live talent shows are not
available.
A YEAR or so ago when word came
that England was about to launch
television in what looked like q big
way, widespread walls went up in
this country about the way American
scientists were letting the Britishers
walk away with the visual honors.
Now the picture has changed and
the electronic scanning race seems tc
be on a sort Of catch-as-catch-can
basis, with America seeming able to
hold its own. In fact, insiders insist
that this country is well ahead Of the
rest Of the world in its television pro-
gress. RCA is about to launch tele-
vision observation service in New York
and British service is scheduled tc
start by midsummer.
Latest trouble the British govern
ment televisionists are meeting Is a
financial one. Radio in Great Britain
depends on license fees exacted from
the public for its support, and it ap-
pears that there are slender pickings
for television in the British Broad
casting Corp. budget. Among sugges-
tons are the commercializing of tele.
vision and the assessment Of "look-
ers" tax to finance visual operations.
Adding to the cost of British opera
ton Is the fact that television car
be transmitted only about 20 miles
from the antenna, with repeater Oh
relay stations necessary if service Il
to reach over the British Isles. Re.
ceivers for the visual programs mus
include big and costly cathode ray
tube as well as some 80 smaller tubes
so the cost at first will be no less thar
| $3.50, and probably more.

That is in recognition Of Holly
woods growing Importance as radio
talent center. Or perhaps it Is the
other way around, for many radio
stars have been drafted by the movies.
Take Jack Benny, for example.
More than half Of his broadcasts
have been from California during the
last four seasons. And practically all
of the name" bands get to the "city
of the whispers and shadows" during
the course of year.
Options on land adjacent to the new
studios of Station KNX, Los Angeles,
have been acquired by c. B. S. The
network has made arrangements to
purchase this station for $1,000, 900,
but the sale Is subject to approval OF
the Federal Communications Com
mission. Until it gets the Federal go
ahead" Columbia will hold in abeyance
its plan for these new studios.
simultaneously, it has been learned,
c. B. S. is going to establish Paciflc
Coast headquarters in San Francisco,
perhaps with a new vice president In
charge. 1t has made arrangements
in that city to lease Station KSFO,
which will become its outlet January
/, 1887, whether or not the F. c. c.
approves the lease arrangement. And
in San Francisco, too, it will have new
studios, planning to invest between
$4,000 and 100000 in them. But the
main program originating point will
be in Los Angeles, where it will trans
fer a number of its crack program
producers, announcers and staff
artists.
WHEN the Texas Centennial Ex-
wv position opens in Dallas, June 6,

gates.
And following this auspicious radio
opening" this newest of the enter
tainment arts and sciences will be
called upon to carry the story OF the
exposition to the length and breadth
of the land. From a $4,000 radio
building on the exposition grounds
will be keyed many programs for the
national networks, for regional net
works and for independent broad
casting stations in the Southwest
area.
Actually, according to centennial
officials, Dallas will become the radio
hub of the Nation during the centen-
nial. Many of the network programs
normally keyed from New York, Chi
cago or Los Angeles, will shift for
single performances to the Dallas
studio. Many programs featuring
name talent, national bands, soloists
and choirs will be heard in exposi-
tion-originated programs throughout
the It's days of the fair.
On the opening day five transcon-
tinental programs will be released
from the fair ground studios, includ-
ing an international pickup in which
speakers from foreign lands will par
ticipate to toast the Lone Star State
and the six flags that have flown over
her soil in four centuries of history.
Speakers will be heard from Madrid,
Spain, on Spanish rule; from Paris
on French rule; from Mexico City on
