TRAFFIC SNARL
UNTANGLING
ORDERED

With downtown traffic badly
muddled as q result Of recent
street car rerouting changes, the
Public Utilities Commission has
called upon the Capital Transit
Company to effect as speedily as
possible q comprehensive car re-
routing plan for the entire city.
Acting Chairman Richard B.
Keech hailed officials and en-
gineers Of the car company into q
conference late yesterday to dis
cusS the tangled situation. The
rerouting changes which went into
effect last Sunday, it was pointed
out, were an intermediate step
and permanent changes Of the en-
tire system must be made.
One of the important points dis
cuSsed brought about an agree
ment from company officials to
speed I'D the work Of replacing
tracks in p Street Northwest be-
tween Seventh and Ninth Streets
so as to bring the tracks into q
straight line and permit opening
of the street for two-way traffic.
The commission decided to take
ND the question Of valuation Of
the car company's properties at
the same hearing with the petition
of the company for an increase IN
street car and bus cares.
No date was set for the hearing,
but it probably viii not be held
until fall. The commission will
give primary consideration to the
valuation, since this point must be
cleared up before any determine
ton can be made on the fare raise
request.

BY MARTIN CODEL,

I 1NCFFICIALLY but quite descrip-
- lively called "apex stations" be-
cause their antennas must be located
at extremely high points in order to
gain the greatest possible radius of re-
ceptior. an entirely new class of broad
casting stations is springing into ex-
perimental existence with the encour-
agement of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission and its engineers.
These so-called "apex' transmitters
are operating on what is officially
called by F. c. c. engineers the very
high" freQuencies, or what are more
popularity known as the ultra-short
waves-tkose above 10000 kilocycles
or below 10 meters. Since very few
Of the radios now on the market, even
those Of the "all-wave" variety, can
tune 50 high up in the short wave
bands. the "apex" stations have few
listeners at present other than expert
and amateur technicians intent more
upon studying their characteristics
than upon hearing their programs.
Commercial Possibility.
Whether the several dozen expert
mental apex" stations already au-
thorized, and the many others being
sought almost daily in F. c. c. appli-
cations, presage the ultimate estab-
1ishment on commercial basis of a
new class Of highly localized broad
casting stations, no one can say with
any degree Of certainty at this time.
But the ultimate hopes held out for
them were clearly suggested in the
+. G. C's own recent annual report.
which stated:
1.-THE very high frequencies above
30 megacycles have such cEaracteris-
tics that they will serve q small area
and then beyond this no interference
will be caused to other stations. This
Il different from the propagation char
acteristics of the stations on the regu-
lar broadcast frequencies $3.50 to $500
kilocycles) which have q moderate
primary service area but whose signals
continue for hundreds Of miles 50 that
their interference range Is enormous
compared with the primary service
area.
due to this characteristic Of the
very high frequencies, It has been
considered that they offer q means Of
supplying strictly local service to any
number Of centers Of population with
frequency assignments duplicated at
relatively low mileage separations.
The individual stations would serve
only q few miles, probably In the or
der Of 2 to 10 miles, depending upon
the power, location Of the transmitter,
