their efforts 'have shown remarkable i

The set operates on the principle I
of amplification of the output fromt
a master ascillator tube, known ast
Holland, grad., and Lewis 11. Dorf,;
'24E. The work has been carried on
since the Christmas holidays, and,
the Heising system. The voice cur-
rents from the microphone are ampli-1
fled and thereafter impressed upon
the modulator tube which varies the
amplitude of the ascillations of the
master ascillator. The modulator,
which uses three tubes of five watts:
each, is in itself a complete . radio
sending set. This power is stepped
up by means of four 50 watt amplify-
ing tubes, making the total capacity
of station WCBC 200 watts. The high
plate potential is obtained from a
General Electric synchronous motor-
driven generator set. Each of the!
five-watt tubes requires a plate po-
tential of 500 volts; each 50 watt
tube requires 1,000 volts.

mental programs has been of an un-

WEAF had already'received and con-
templated accepting offers for such
pay-by-the-in i n u t e advertisements.I
Several political leaders have an-
nounced that they will bring the quali-
ties of their candidates as well as
their political platforms before the
country by means of the radio. Such
campaigning will be plainly labeledl
as advertising matter and undoubted-
ly treated by the listeners as such.
The other type of campaigning
might better be called propaganda. It
has already manifested itself. Under
the guise of education or public-inter-
est speeches, smooth-tongued candi-
dates will ease their way into the
good graces of the great band of ra-
dioists.
From the two or three examples of
this kind of campaigning which the
writer has already heard, the method
not only promises to be popular but
to have a really powerful effect on the
public mind. That.such a system can.
hardly be anything but an evil goes
without saying.
One big move to harness radio for
the benefit of politics, many believe,
is the construction of a municipal
broadcasting station for the city of
New York. The significance of th-is
seems to me to be great, especially as
it will certainly serve as a precedent
to other large cities. What does it
mean?
Supposing the City Hall owned a
newspaper which had a circulation
equalled probably by no other news-
paper in the city. In the hands of
a group of clever politicians this paper
woul.d so influence public opinion and
consequently votes, that the job of
dislodging that particular administra-
tion would be tremendous.
A powerful radio station will serve
this particular purpose just as well
as the newspaper used in the example
above. With such a means of reach-
ing the public, the men in office will
always have an immeasureable ad-
vantage over the new aspirants..

There is one disadvantage in the
monopoly of broadcasting stations by
