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. The antenna used in the experi- mental programs has been of an un- Susual type, and it has been used in a manner not intended when erected. k The antenna output is 1.5 amperes. tenna and the lead-in.

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..

The latter, with not- able exceptions, are showing them- selves unwilling, or afraid, to give fair publicity to the doings of stations. owned or connected with other news- papers. * * * ~ -- Paris now has five broadcasting sta- tions.
