PITTSBURGH. Pa, Aug 27-The
mamma of the raindrop is hobo.
She does nothing but hitchhike
rides on clouds of stale air.
A scientist who followed her-mil-
lions of her-around for five months
exposed her today after catching her
loaflng in toy balloon
Mammas of raindrops are known to
science as condensation nuclei They
are mysterious invisible particles on
which the droplets form.
1t had been thought that they made
fresh air stale by riding on it in ereat t
throngs as human city dwellers ride
subway and elevated trains.
But DR. r A. Nielsen of the West
inghouSe Research Laboratories At
East Pittsburgh reported after a flve-
month study of the question that this
is not true
The mamma of the raindrop does
ride stale air and does not ride fresh
air, DR. Nielsen said. This. however,
seems to be SO because for some un-
known reason che likes stale air. For
her presence does not affect the fresh
ness of the air.
The researcher proved his point by
building a metal room and condition
ing the air in it to resemble the fresh
ness of mountain air. There were
many less condensation nuclei inside
, the room than there were in thu
laboratory outside the room Ye

utility. Any attempt to tell the chains
what proportion Of their income for
regional or national hook ups should
be paid to the individual stations, It
was indicated, would be a form OF rate
regulation.
matter which may be considered
and which is cause OF most concern
from a monopolistic standpoint is how
much power might be exercised by a
chain over individual stations on the
dissemination Of informa ton on public
matters over their systems and sta
tions. This is not now A matter Of
statute or regulation, except in so far
as it relates to candidates for public
once. 1t is now required that where
one candidate Is allowed to broadcast
over a station or chain, an opposing
candidate must be given the same
privileges under the same conditions:
that is. II one person is allowed to
broadcast free, then the opponent must
be allowed a similar amount of time
free. II one pays, then the other
must pay the same rate.
The approaching probe is expected
to be one Of the most sweeping ever
conducted by the present commission.
and may determine that some decided
change may be needed in the present
communications act. The commission
said that if it should appear from the
facts developed that amendment of
the act Is needed. the commission will
be ready to submit recommendations
for legislation when Congress convenes
in January. Once started the hear.
lngs will be pushed to as quick a con-
clusion as possible. At this time it is
expected that all OF the testimony
will be taken here.

which the subsequent investigation

which the subsequent investigation
will move
Some complaints are At hand as to
the requirements imposed by the
chains on the stations which become
affiliated with them. The very nature
OF these contracts, 1t was said, tend
to prevent the independents from
making long contracts with local
advertisers.
Must Hold Time Open.
In order to become affiliated with
a chain. A station must agree to pro-
vide time for chain program upon
80 days notice. Under this require
ment, 1t was said, local station may
have to keep time open for months,
thus blocking opportunities to sign up
local advertisers on long-term con-
tracts for particular time Most ad-
pertisers desire a regular time on the
air.
On the other hand. the chains must
be armed with some method of guar
anteeing that they can serve certain
areas at certain times. and this. it was
explained. they could not do II an
af11liate were permitted to withdraw
the time whenever he has a long
term local contract. The local sta
ton has the right, Of course, to with
draW from the chain If it does not
desire the chain income or feels that
IL can do better with it's local adver-
tisers, but one phase which may have
monopolistic color Is whether a local
station which refuses to take chain
programs may be denied national
spots, This is single program
usually recorded. which is given to a
particular station by some national
advertiser who desires to get a pro-
gram in particular area.
Proceeds Question Raised.
Inc question also has been raised as
10 the division Of proceeds between
tne chaln and the local stations for
tne time on chain broadcast. While
there may be testimony taken on this
phase, 1t Is a question as to whether
the commission even desires to repu-
late rates. as broa dcasting is not con.
Sioered as comparable TO public
