Stores Open ToyIond Displays
As Santa Arrives Ahead of Time

Santa Claus hit town yesterday,
running a good two lengths ahead
of the Thanksgiving turkey.
Downtown department stores be-
gan to open their Christmas toy
land displays and they were playing
to capacity crowds. IN some stores.
Santa Claus, having brushed the
moth balls out of his whiskers, was
doing business at the same old
stand.
The Christmas toy displays in
some. stores will not be ready for
a few days, but most will be early
this year-infiuenced to some ex-
tent by the early Thanksgiving.
There will be one important diff
ference in the toy displays this
year. Almost everything in the
stores will be American made.
Those Made in Czecho-Slovakia, 4"
Made in Germany" or Made in
Japan" labels nave practically dis
appeared.
There are a few dolls from
Great Britain which have arrived
in the last few months. A few
toys are being shown from France
and other countries. most of them
left over from other years.
The public imposed an embargo

The stores this year will feature
more hobby displays than ever be-
fore. The shortage OF European
toys has encouraged the develop
ment of American-type displays
such as model airplane kits, coll
lections, etc.

they came upon Santa yesterday.

Increase in Poor
Radio Reception
Studied byF. {. e..
Seeks to Learn Whether
DirectionuI Antennu
Systems Are Effective
By WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.

Increase in poor radio broadcast
reception throughout the United
States has re-ulted in preliminary
study by the Federal Comrlunica-
tons Commission to ascertain the
effectiveness of directional antenna.
systems. In some cases, it was said,
this may be due to the improper
design of the directional features
of the antennas, and in others it
might be of disregard of license re-
quirements by some broadcasters in
order to meet demands of adver-
tiSers for coverage in certain terri
tories.
If the studies show that stations
have been so poorly located origi-
nally as to preclude serving their
full trading territory, they may
have to spend hundreds of chou
sands of dollars - relocate their
stations by direction of the COM
mission, but they might find Trey
were unable to survive economically
because Tire" Programs vere not
going to areas which their adver-
tisers demand.
Purpose of AntennaS.
The directional antennas are de-
signed, it was explained, to elimi-
nate radio signal from going in a
direction which might interfere with
another station. But, it was added,
many stations have BEEN placed in
the center of their trading terri
tories, and would be able to cover
them, without directional antennas,
because the signal radiates in all
directions. 1t was asserted that
proper engineering studies in con-
nection with the economic problems
would have shown that the stations
should have been located Oh the
far edge of their territories in the
direction in which their directional
antennas are required
For example, if a stations normal
trading territory in which adver-
tisers would be expected to seek
business covers radius of Is miles
from the center of city, ordinarily
it would be better to locate the sta
ton at the center point. But II
there was another station, say to the
south, whose signal would have to
be protected from interference, a
directional antenna would be built
to drown out the signal to the south,
and those in that territory would be
unable to get the station. In that
case, it was explained, it would be
better to locate the station on the
south edge of the territory.
Complaints on Service.
Advertisers making tests have
complained that they are not getting
the service for which thev are pay
ing, it was pointed out. There is a
belief, and this will be subject to
check by rowing monitors of the
Communications Commission, that
some of the stations might be cut
ting out" their directional antennas
in order to give the service, is in
violation of their license authority.
Much of the humming, suffering
and cross-talk now found in radio
receivers, it was said, may be found
to be due not to the receivers or to
improper grant of facilities by the
commission, but entirely to the fact
that the commissions licensing in
structions have not been carried out.
When such evidence is found Of
tenders will be summoned before the
commission, if faulty engineering is
found to blame, the stations will be
directed to get it corrected.

cent was lower than many thought necessary, and
states were reluctant to assume responsibility for
substantial standards. Due to inherent uncertain
ties the so-called model bills were not clear as to
principles or designed for simplicity of admins
tration These are the difficulties of pioneering
in legislation. On the other hand we have the ex-
traordnary achievement OF a Federal social Sc
curity law with supplementary legislation in 81
cooperating Jurisdictions. We have something to
build on. Amendments to the old-age insurance
titles of the legislation have broadened that to
more satisfactory proportions. We need now to
give study to experience with unemployment COM
pensation in order to make results more in keeping
with its purpoSe-economlc security.
Every state has unexpended reserves which in
dcate that benefit payments have been too low.
The waiting period has been too long so that un-
employed workers have had to go on relief pend
ing payment of benefits. This situation is a ira
vesty on social security. The benefit checks them
selves are for too small amounts to compensate
workers for wages lost and are paid for too short
Ia time: 10 per cent of all checks are for amounts
under Sc; 43.5 per cent under $40; and checks for
one- third of these unemployed stop before work
ers can find jobs. To meet these conditions the
American Federation of Labor asked to have a bill
introduced in Congress which would write Federal
standards into the law, compliance with which by
the States would be mandatory for approval by the
Social Security Board. These standards are: One
week waiting time; flat benefit period of 20 weeks
benefits equal to 60 per cent of full time weekly
|earnings, but not less than Sc more than $24
total annual collections in every state to average
not less than 27 per cent of annual payrolls, with
|no cancellation of earned credits penalty but
only extended waiting period, but not to exceed
six weeks.
To meet the difficulties of poorer states in pay
ing benefits in accord with this scale, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor proposes Federal Re-
insurance Fund. To meet the arguments for tax
rate cut in those states where reserves are highest
conditions approval of such cut upon an increase
in the duration of benefit payments. If the dur
alton is increased from 20 to 22 weeks, the tax
rate may be lowered to 2.5 per cent; if duration
is raised to "a weeks tax rate may drop to 20 per
cent; if duration is 26 weeks tax rate may be 15
per cent of taxable payroll However, states with
these lower tax rates will not be certified if con-
|tributions are required from employed persons or
if there are variations in the rates of contributions
las between individual employers.
Such federal standards and provisions would
prevent serious injustice to unemployed workers
while comprehensive study is given to the whole
field of unemployment compensation and it's re-
|Iations to related social legislation. The American
Federation of Labor earnestly hopes that Congress
will make early provision for such study.
