Four hundred and eighty-four
American radio broadcasting stations
may be shut down if the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
wins their suit for patent, infringe-
ment against Station WHN, of New
York city. The A. T. and T. hold
patents on 14 parts necessary to
Sbroadcasting stations for the use of
which they demand $2,000 a year from
all 500 watt stations in the country.
All but'50 stations have refused to
pay this 'license,' Station WHN among
them.
If the telephone company is success-
ful in their suit against this one sta-
tion the case will become a precedent
aniad nothing v prevent them from
dosing down f the leading broad-
casters in the , , an establish-
ing what h ee medami absoluie

In a sttement published in the
Radio Digest of March 22 (yesterday),
Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover said:
While it is impossible for me to ex-
press any' opinion on any particular
issues that are before the courts or
Federal Trade commission, I can state
emphatically, that it would be most
unfortunate for the people. of this
country to which broadcasting has be-
come an important incident in life, if
its control should come into the hands
of any Angle corporation, individual
or combination.
It would be in principal Os though'
the entire press of the 'unry wa
so controlled.
The effect would e identical,
whether this control a rspa uderaM
patent monopoly, or un der any 'form
of combination, and f on # e sand&
point of the people's tfit res4 the
question of . whether rc not t e
brodcastng is for rofit, is
material.
I believe it is safe to ay, irrespec-
tive of claims under pa ent rights on
apparatus, that broad' ting7Wi;lInot

policy allow it to become 1.,1 p
ized.
In many instances it i~es'l tsio

certp king place at o e hmot
plac *,~In order to do this leaeed
telep rne wire must be secured. The
A, T. and T. is charged with having
adopted the policy of not allowing
the use of their wires in this way to
stations not paying the annual in-
demnity to them. During the basket-
ball season the University stati.on
WCBC came up against this difficulty
and only by the use of different and
hlghly. complicated measures was The
Michigan Daily able to make possible
the broadcasting of the basketball
games in play by play detail.-
In swereto the charges ofa com-
bine "Between the Bell systemi,-the
T. and T., Western Union, and the
Western Electric company, President
Thayer of the- telephone company
merely says: "We have no :desire for
a monopoly o, the air."
A prediction by one broadcaster,
a who is considered an authority in the
situation is to the effect that the 44
unlicensed stations will declare a gen-
eral strike within the next few days
in order to awaken the thousands of
listeners to the danger and obtain
their unified support in the present
litigation.
Pending a final decision in the mat-
ter, the Thursday midnight program
of radiophone station WCBXC wlll bh
in the charge of E. E. Dreese, of the
electrical engineering de'partment an
the Saturday night broadcasting wil
be under the supervision of Wilfred
Shaw, '04, general secetary of the
Alumnii association.
The University station has beer
flooded during the week with com-
munications from listeners who have
heard the regular Thursday and Sat-
urday programs. Several new long
distance marks have been chalkednur
in the past few days including Denver,
Colo., New Orleans, Miss., and Colum-
bus, Mississippi.
Norfolk, Va., and Atlanta, Ga., were
among the other distant points heard
from. The speech made by Prof. A.
E. White, head of the department of
engineering research two weeks ago
was heard in states from Colorado to
Vermont, and from Georgia to Uppe
Michigan, reports from these states
show. How iuch further it may have
been heard is a matter for speculation.
Prof. E. H. Kraus, head of the min-
eralogical laboratory, who spoke a
week ago last night, was the first
speaker from the new radio studio in
Room 308 of the Union. All programs,
other than test transmissions, will in
the future be broadcast from this
place, it is planned.

to Thee (Wagner again singing). The
last named number was undoubtedly
the hit of the evening. K. Y. Tang,
'24E and C. N. Tavares, '25L, played
guitar and ukelele. The broadcasting1
was done from the Union studio .of
the radiophone station.
TO INVESTIGATE DOo,
A finish fight with extraneous noises
now annoying Ann Arbor radio ama-
tours is promised in a series of ex-
periments now being undertaken by
men from the University broadcasting
station. The plan will be in generalj
the same used by the United States
government to locate spy wirelesses
during the war.
The first measure is the construc-
tion of a small receiving set designed
especially for radio compass work, or
direction finding. The principle feat-
ure of the apparatus is a loop aerial
which will pick up a series of ether
waves only when it is pointing in, the
general direction qfthe source of theI
sounds. When the flat side.of' the'
loop is presented to the waves no
sound will result in the headpiece.
By moving this a us about and
market can be vastly improved for
selectivity, loudness, and clearness, by
the insertion of a 23- plate variable
condenser between either aerial and
set, or between set and ground.
If your set gives a constant loud
hum whether tuned in to some station
or not, look around the antennae con-j
nections and lead-in for high power
conduits, street lighting wires or
other electrical connections which
might be effecting your reception by
leakage or induction.
constructing direction lines the work-
ers will first be able to locate the
trouble source to an area of say a
few blocks. By closing in and con-
tinuing observations, they will finally
be able to get to within a few hundred
feet of the trouble, it is expected.
The cause may be one of a number of
things, all of which will be sought in
the resulting area.
Among possible sources of the dis-
turbance are dynamos, - battery-
chargers, and electric light transform-
ers. Once the leakage is found the
remedy is generally not difficult..
During 1923, an increase of 22.9 per
-cent in tollmessag pverthe preqed-
ing year was made by the Michigan
State TelephoneCo.
