    January 4, 1947

    YOUR NEW DIRECTORIES: New 1947 FCC Personnel Directory which we have compiled, most complete and authentic extant, is sent you herewith as Supplement No 46. File it in your binder for handy reference, for it contains not only roster of FCC's Wash- ington personnel but data on regional offices (addresses, phone numbers, executives) with whom you may have to do business. In preparation, also, is a completely revised TV Directory. And next week, we will send you an entirely new FM Directory in 6 parts, containing under one cover complete logs of FM licensees, CP holders, conditionals, pending applications, educational grantees and applicants, develop- mental stations. It is our plan to issue addenda to this Directory each week (on pink sheets), then recapitulate and republish up -to -date directories quarterly.

    WILL PETRILLO LIFT BAN? There's a chance the unpredictable Mr. Petrillo will lift ban against AM -FM music duplication in new contracts with networks, about to be negotiated. Old ones with New York, Chicago, Los Angeles locals expire this Jan. 31. Inquiry on FM situation evoked only usual silence from Petrillo. From New York Local 806, it brought word there is no foundation to "rumor." And network sources indicated there was "reason to hope" story was true, but they knew nothing definite since negotiations have not yet begun.

    AM -FM problem ties into NAB -AFM negotiations, abruptly ended after 3 meet- ings earlier last year, unresumed when Petrillo failed to reply to NAB President Miller's letters requesting further parleys -- presumably because music czar was so sore at NAB for its alleged part in passage of Lea Bill.

    It's known Petrillo has lifted ban in at least one instance, allowing an independent FM to carry network music. It also is common knowledge other union leaders, sensing popular reaction against labor, are counseling expediency if not caution -- fearful Lea Bill may be extended to cover all labor, especially if Supreme Court upholds Chicago court's decision (Vol. 2, No. 49). Moreover, common sense, even from Petrillo's myopic viewpoint, would dictate encouraging FM to get going, then getting "pound of flesh" when it's mature enough for the slaughter.

    MORE MAKERS OF TV SETS: Add Crosley, Admiral, Stewart -Warner to the handful of brand -name radio manufacturers producing TV sets now, or planning to produce them soon. These, in addition to the several previously reporting 1947 plans (Vol. 2, No. 49, 50).

    Crosley sends word it will be in production of TV sets after July 1, pos- sibly timing markets for start of 2 Crosley video outlets, in Cincinnati and Ohio, recently authorized by FCC (Vol. 2, No. 47). Its first set will be a TV- FM -AM- phonograph console with 10 -in. tube, selling for around $750. Plans call for 10,000 -15,000 units in 1947.

    Admiral has 2 TV models on display at this month's American Furniture Mart in Chicago, and Stewart- Warner's trade ads this week announced new TV console with AM; we will report further on these later. U.S. Television Corp., now producing

  • about 150 "Tele- Symphonic" large- screen models per month (at $2,400), reports it will double this production shortly, but is concentrating distribution among tav- erns and other gathering places, expects to sell about 5,000 during 1947.

    In Washington's Statler Friday, an RCA crew en route to Detroit and then Chicago's Furniture Mart unveiled 2 new console models -- the 641 -TV, 10 -in. tube with AM- FM- phonograph, to sell around $800; the 648 -PTK, large -screen projection model with AM -FM, to sell around $1,200. "T -Day" for their release is tentatively set for sometime in March. Also announced was $25 increase in 630 -TS table model with 10 -in. tube already released, making its cost $375. The 621 -TS table model with 7 -in. tube, in production but not very widely distributed yet, will be offered in choice of walnut or maple at $250.

    HOW MANY FM SETS? Question we're most often asked about FM: How many FM sets are now in use? Best answer we can give:

    (1) Old FMBI pre -war figures, only ones extant. It calculated 395,000 FM receivers (all low -band) sold before wartime freeze stopped all civilian produc- tion. Of these, some 75,000 were non -AM combinations. Only distribution estimates available show sets mostly in areas having pre -war FM service: New York, 120,000; Chicago, 80,000; Boston, 35,000; Detroit, 25,000; Milwaukee, 21,000; Philadelphia, 20,000; remainder scattered.

    (2) RMA production figures to date for FM sets of all kinds and makes. Wartime controls were lifted in latter 1945, during whole of which only 300,000 radio sets were made, practically none with FM. For first 11 months of 1946, RMA shows 138,055 FM sets. To this may be added at least 25,000 more for December, as yet unreported. RMA does not attempt to show where sets went, though it can be assumed they naturally went to cities with FM stations. (For breakdown of RMA figure by months, See Vol. 2, No. 47, 51.)

    SMOKING OUT 'RADIO REDS': Where there's so much talk, you may be sure something's in the wind -- and talk about a Red -hunt in radio (Vol. 2, No. 52) won't down. It all adds up to hopes and efforts in some quarters to get Congress to embark on an investigative spree covering FCC, FM, Blue Book, etc., which may or may not eventu- ate. It has some officials on uneasy seat, to say the least.

    In his Thursday broadcast, Red -hating, pink- baiting, crusading MBS Commen- tator Fulton Lewis Jr. made bold (for a broadcaster!) to point out that House Cam- paign Investigating Committee report showed Mrs. Clifford Durr, wife of the oft - dissenting FCC commissioner and sister of Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black's wife, was contributor to N.Y. Congressional campaign of Communist- tinged Rep. Marcantonio. On inquiry, she said she contributed $25 "out of my household funds, which means Mr. Durr had to go without steaks for awhile."

    Earlier, in "leaked" report to House Committee on Un- American Activities, Counsel Ernie Adamson devoted 22 out of 72 pages to Metropolitan Broadcasting Co., which holds CP for new WQQW, Washington (also CP holder for FM), which goes. on air Sunday, Jan. 5. Adamson charged Communists and fellow travelers among stockholders, named some names, alleged station's purpose was "to issue communistic propaganda over the American airwaves." He also had unkind words for Blue Book, Author Siep- mann, National Maritime Union (FM applicant for New York), Hollywood Community Radio Group (FM -AM applicant for Los Angeles).

    But Adamson almost immediately got sacked for letting report out before committee members had chance to see it. When it was officially printed (as House Report No. 2742), it was devoid of these radio mentions entirely.

    Meanwhile, WQQW's manager, Edward M. Brecher, one of drafters of Blue Book and an ex -aide to ex -FCC Chairman Fly, gets chance to prove his quite positive theories about broadcasting. He promises no more than 4 commercials per hour, each no longer than one minute, with stress on "good music, unbiased news, free speech," etc. Station lists 125 stockholders, none with over 4 %.

  • ANGELS FOR THE FMA: Upon shoulders of man selected as paid director of newly forming FM Association (candidates will be interviewed in Washington Wednesday) will devolve job not only of runner FMA but of raising funds to support it and its promotional activities. Contributions were requested this week in letters to radio manufacturers, engineers, attorneys -- station support to come from their $100 membership fees. With Maj. Armstrong and such. manufacturers as GE, REL, Stromberg- Carlson, Zenith already committed, FMA is expected to get good start

    after next Friday's organizational meeting in Washington's Hotel Statler. Everett Dillard's office, handling arrangements, reports some 150 acceptances from sta- tions, some sending more than one delegate. Crosley has been added to list of FM

    set exhibitors (Vol. 2, No. 52), and Federal, GE, Graybar, REL, RCA, Westinghouse have all agreed to participate in symposium on transmitters.

    PARAMOUNT'S NEXT MOVE: What Paramount will do about its DuMont stockholdings, involved in recent Los Angeles TV grants (Vol. 2, No. 51), may be made known in week or so. FCC says Paramount -DuMont must be considered as one unit under rule limiting TV grants to 5 to any single entity. Each already has 2 station grants, so one or the other is entitled to only one more.

    When it became known this week that FCC had processed and was ready to act on remaining Paramount applications (Boston, Detroit) and DuMont's (Cleveland and Pittsburgh), Commission was asked to hold up any more grants until "interlock"

    situation is resolved. Appeal from FCC dictum is seen unlikely. Also ruled out

    is possibility DuMont might reorganize so as to divest Paramount of any policy con- trol -- this in view of precedent in case of FM grant to WAPI, Birmingham, which FCC said must be counted as CBS station, even though CBS (holding 45% of stock)

    has no voting control whatsoever. So best bet seems to be Paramount will unload its DuMont stockholders, drop its 3 directors on DuMont board.

    TELECASTING CONGRESS: "Incredibly good pictures, extremely poor programming" -- that about sizes up Friday's first telecast of opening of Congress (by CBS- DuMont-

    NBC in combination). Dull roll calls, duller commentaries, were not as conducive

    to viewer- interest as most news events, certainly not as interesting as swiftly - moving sports which are TV's forte. But, all in all, impression TV made among Washington brass who watched it (also in New York and other cities that saw it via coaxial and relay) was very much to good.

    President Truman, who will be televised as he addresses Congress Monday, along with White House staff watched spectacle on RCA 10 -in. table model installed that morning, and many took a look on similar set in Speaker Martin's office in Capitol. There was no pickup from Senate side because of lack of power facilities; moreover, Senate rules forbid picture taking. General feeling prevails that, how- ever radio in general fares legislatively this session of Congress, TV is bound to be encouraged if not coddled by Congressmen deeply impressed by magic of video.

    MORE POWER & MORE RADIO: "More Power for AM, FM & TV." Thus, January issue of new Caldwell -Clements monthly, Tele -Tech, heads powerful editorial espousing perennial cause favored by just about all engineers. There is no interference

    difficulty, it asserts, which cannot be remedied by more power at the transmitter -- "the answer to static, interference, and poor reception, all along the line." It may mean, also, a simpler receiving antenna -- or, for many services no antenna

    at all.

    Yet, it is pointed out, tendency of governmental authority is to hold back on power (limit in AM is 50 kw), even though abroad it is "viewed as a merit rather

    than a misdemeanor." Tele -Tech says there are over 100 broadcast stations abroad

    of 100 kw and higher, including England's 800 kw transmitter, 2 or 3 of same power in Russia, one of 2,500 kw in Russia.

    Editor O. H. Caldwell publishes his annual radio statistics in his new

    magazine, estimating 1946 revenue of 1,100 radio manufacturers at $350 million;

    www.americanradiohistory.com

  • distributors and dealers, $700 million; broadcasters, $380 million ($325 million from time sales, $55 millions from talent costs) .

    Dr. Caldwell's estimate of 1946 broadcast income, incidentally, compares with $433 million estimated by NAB ($191 million, network; $117 million, national spot; $116 million, local; $9 million, regional network). Other end -of -1946 sta- tistics: civilian radios manufactured, 14 million sold retail at $700 million; tubes, 170 million sold at $200 million; auto sets, 150,000 sold at $9 million; auto radios in use, 6 million; homes with radio sets, 35 million; total radios in U.S., 60 million.

    FM CLASS A FREEZE DUE: Simply as a political gesture, since there seem to be plenty of channels, FCC next week will probably put on ice handful of Class A (Community) channels at upper end of FM band -- for same reason it reserved some wider- range Class B channels last July (Vol. 2, No. 29). New plan may freeze, for a year, 3 to 5 channels out of the 20 between 104.1 -107.9 me (Nos. 281 -300). Reservation, however, would be blanket one, differing from 1- out -of -5 Class B plan since there are no specific allocations of Class A frequencies to individual cities. As appli- dations stand now, there are plenty of Class A channels. Even with projected reservation, it looks like there are enough to go around at present even in such crowded areas at New York, Los Angeles, Chicago. Reservation is designed, as for Class B, to insure future availability to newcomers, especially veterans.

    SIGHT AND SOUND: TV forecasts for 1947 by men who ought to know: David Sarnoff, RCA - "1947 holds promise of being America's first major television year . . . In addi- tion, a potential market for radio -phonographs and tele- vision receivers exists in the 7 to 10 million new homes which may be built during the next 10 years." Frank Mul- len, NBC - "The growth of television to date has been like that of a young oak tree - mostly in the roots, where it does not show. Its growth next year, for the first time, will be above ground, where it can be seen."

    Feb. 24 is new date set for FCC hearing on Pearson - Allen quest for facilities of WBAL, Baltimore (Vol. 2, No. 38, 39, 51), regarded as test of Blue Book. Commission Thursday ruled as "relevant" WBAL's past and future pro- gramming, turned down its plea for reconsideration of cita- tion and grant of renewal. Pearson -Allen this week filed list of stockholders, including more than a dozen Baltimore bigwigs; capitalization is $250,000; they retain 35'/s % each.

    Even as DuMont's Washington TV outlet, WTTG, made plans to go commercial Jan. 15, when it expects to have new 5 kw transmitter, FCC this week ordered it to find better antenna site than downtown Harrington Hotel, gave it 4 months to do so. DuMont officials say they have been seeking new location, unsuccessfully, ever since CP was issued last April. WTTG is only capital station now on air, though NBC's WNBW should be going, by March. WTTG's first commercial will be basketball via radio relay from Uline Arena (sponsor: P. J. Nee Furniture Co.).

    Facsimile seems sure to become a topic of discussion at the Senate Small Business Committee hearing beginning Jan. 7 (on effect on small town newspapers of growth of big city dailies). Ex -FCC Chairman James Lawrence Fly is scheduled to appear to tell what he knows about FX and FM. Although list of witnesses not yet available, Morris Ernst, liberal, crusading New York attorney, author of "The First Freedom" (Vol. 2, No. 13), will be one of them.

    TV color hearing, reconvening in New York Jan. 27, will sit in Room 1703, U.S. Courthouse, Foley Square, where CBS will again demonstrate its system (Vol 2, No. 51).

    These will be GOP majority members of Senator White's radio -ruling Committee on Interstate & Foreign Commerce in new Congress: Tobey (N.H.), Reed (Kan.), Brewster (Me.), Hawks (N.J.), Moore (Okla.), Capehart (Ind.). Senator Reed at week's end was still threatening to carry to floor his fight against White's holding 2 posts (he is also Senate's majority leader), but Reed's chances looked slim. Democratic assignments are incomplete. On House side, Rep. Wolverton (N.J.) is sure of Interstate Commerce Committee chairmanship, with GOP planning simply to reverse old 16 -11 membership ratio but assign- ments not yet announced.

    Bamberger's TV tower for its WWBR, Washington, will include shortwave and microwave antennas as well as TV radiators, according to J. R. Poppele, engineering v.p. Contract for tower base was let this week. Antenna atop 300 -ft Lehigh tower will be 700 ft above sea level at one of highest points in District of Columbia. Next step in $250,000 transmitter TV project is to get CPA approval.

    In giving 2400 -2500 me band to diathermy and indus- trial heating equipment this week (really for Raytheon's "radarange" -Vol. 2, No. 51), FCC leaves proposed alloca- tion for TV pickup and studio -transmitter links (STLs) untouched. Hearing on proposed STL allocations is now scheduled for Feb. 4.

    Walter Johnson, onetime FCC lawyer, on Jan. 2 pub- lished first issue of Capitol Radio Reporter, newsletter from Washington; he is sharing quarters (2017 Connecti- cut Ave.) with George H. Bolles, ex- Pacific Coast broad- caster who is also setting up as a radio consultant.

    Paramount's W6XYZ, Los Angeles, granted commer- cial CP two weeks ago (Vol. 2, No. 51), seeking to be first commercial video outlet on West Coast, tfiis week applied for STA for commercial operation. Reports are station has all sorts of bids for time, but no details available yet.

    Adrian Samish, ABC program v.p., has added TV to his duties, and he immediately announced construction of au- thorized outlets (so far in Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles) will start this year, equipment ordered from RCA.

    January 11, 1947

    NEW LOG OF FM STATIONS: Our first Quarterly Log of FM Licensees, Grantees and Applicants (Supplement No. 47 herewith) should make it easy for you to determine the status of FM in any particular locality at any time -- that is, if you keep it up -to -date. This is a simple matter, for we will continue to report new grants

    as well as changes and corrections, as heretofore, on pink addenda sheets such as Supplement No. 47 -A herewith (which reports the grants, changes, etc. since we compiled Supplement No. 47). The consolidated log will be republished next April.

    This 6 -part FM Directory, only one published anywhere, supersedes and amplifies our Supplements No 44, 44 -A, etc. It adds an up -to -date log of Educa- tional FM Licensees, CPs and Applicants; also Developmental Broadcast Licensees and CPs, most of whom use FM. Note that in listings of CPs, Conditionals and Applica- tions the FCC file numbers are given for convenient reference if more data is desired from FCC's public files. New applications will continue to be reported in detail in our "No. 14 series" of Supplements.

    THE FMA GETS UNDER WAY: Full -page ad in Friday morning's Washington Post, telling public in pointed words to "make sure your new radio has FM," really set stage for that day's organizational meeting of new FM Association. Seven District of Colum- bia FM grantees joined to pay the $927 space bill, though only the Post's WINX -FM and Everett Dillard's WASH -FM are as yet on the air. It was prime example of kind of promotion FMA was being organized to stimulate -- and it sparked what turned out to be an intensely enthusiastic meeting, attended by more than 300 persons.

    Your trade press will tell you, in far more detail than our space permits, just what transpired. But these are the highlights and some impressions:

    1. FMA starts functioning at once, with offices in Washington's Denrike Bldg. John N. (Bill) Bailey, onetime WLW promotion man, latterly an editor of Broadcasting Magazine, takes over Feb. 1 as managing director at $12,000 a year. Its directors are the 12 members of original Steering Committee formed at Chicago NAB convention (Vol. 2, No. 43). They elected, from among their own number, the following officers: Roy Hofheinz, KOPY, Houston, president; Everett Dillard, v.p.; Frank Gunther, REL, secy; Arthur Freed, Freed Radio Corp., treasurer. Hofheinz and Dillard are on executive committee, along with Wayne Coy, WINX -FM; Leonard Asch, WBCA, Schenectady; Russ David, GE.

    2. Intense eagerness of attending amalgam of independent, AM- affiliated and newspaper FMers to get FM going -- particularly to get sets into hands of public and attract advertisers to their medium -- bodes well for increasing member- ship. More than 100 members are already in with their $100 fees, or pledged. Presi- dent Hofheinz says $50,000 initial budget is assured (including pledges from equip_ ment manufacturers), with $25,000 already at hand.

    3. FMA got blessing of FM- plumping FCC, made plain by Chairman Denny's luncheon remarks. Also attending were all other commissioners, plus Senator John- son (Colo.) and Rep. Lea (Calif.). On the other hand, only a sprinkling of major

    Copyright 1947 by Radio News Bureau

    www.americanradiohistory.com

  • AM broadcasters turned out. And Washington's aforesaid 7 advertising FMers, who intend to continue paid newspaper space, made no effort to hide their feelings about fact that city's other 3 FM grantees, all network keys, declined to join campaign.

    4. FM receiver situation, as outlined by Stromberg- Carlson's Ray Manson, is pretty much as we reported it in Vol. 2, No. 50, and Vol. 3, No. 1 -- except that Dr. Manson now predicts 3 -4% million FM sets this year, at least 5 million in 1948. Soon, also, about 50% of all table models will have FM, he predicted, only handicap to such production thus far being fact scarce tuning units must be just as good as in big sets. All consoles henceforth will have FM, he said.

    5. Speeches by Maxon's Preston Pumphrey (handling GE set advertising) and McCann -Erickson's Hugh D. Lavery (Stromberg) heartened delegates' hopes of early revenues from time sales, which all depends on "circulation" (sets). Write FMA for copies of their talks if this subject concerns you; they're well worth reading,

    especially Lavery's. Case histories of promotion, particularly dealer cooperation, and optimistic reports on transmitter prospects made it appear indeed as if Denny's prediction of more than 700 FM stations on the air by end of 1947 might come true.

    6. Over -all impressions of well- organized though crowded one -day meeting (largely the work of Dillard's office and Counsel Leonard Marks): it was stimu- lating enough to augur surge of interest in FM; new association evoked too enthu- siastic support to be ignored; FMA deserves whole- hearted support of receiver manu- facturers (conspicuous by their absence though 9 had sets on display) who stand to profit most by what Maj. Armstrong called "our $100,000,000 business ".

    And significantly, too, as at recent NAB convention, youth (and a lot of GI buttons) prediminated among the the many new faces FM is introducing to radio.

    TBA WIDENS SCOPE, ELECTS: Little TBA's 50 members -- only 19 of them in "active" category, meaning they are actual or prospective TV operators and pay $1,000 mem- bership fees -- are more pepped up than ever about television, have no intention of joining forces with NAB or anyone else, will go their own way until they've finished their self- appointed job of "creating an industry." That's the reaction that came out of annual meeting in New York Tuesday, where modus operandi for year was discussed, a code for telecasters suggested, plans laid for widened service to affiliate members (manufacturers, ad agencies, producers, etc.). Notably, since set production can now be counted, it's proposed to keep track of where sets are going so that markets can be gauged; also to maintain advisory liaison with TV Servicing setups, etc. New affiliates' executive committee is headed by Ernest Marks (DuMont). WOR's Jack Poppele was reelected president. Others elected: v.p., G. Emerson Markham (GE); secretary, Will Baltin; treasurer, Paul Raibourn (Para-

    mount); new directors, John Royal (NBC) and Frank Schreiber (WGN). Holdover board - men are: Allen B. DuMont, F. J. Bingley (Philco); Curtis W. Mason (KFI); Ernest H. Vogel (Farnsworth).

    LISTENERS IN A HURRY: Pilot model of a table -model radio with FM high -band only (no AM) was shown FMA groups in Washington Friday, exciting lots of interest among FMers eager to get audiences in a hurry. It has 7 acorn tubes, rectifier, 5 -inch

    speaker, plastic cabinet, is designed, to sell around $30. Plan is to let FM broad-

    casters be distributors, or to arrange for local dealers, especially in areas where

    FM stations may dominate -- communities with no AM stations, for example. Manu-

    facturing company, Electronics Inc., Bowen Bldg., Washington, is being promoted by M. A. O'Connor, ex- Bendix engineer, and N. D. Klitenick, ex- Signal Corps, et al.

    FMA sessions attracted exhibits of FM console- combinations by Freed, GE,

    Scott, Westinghouse, Hallicrafters, Crosley, RCA, Stromberg, Zenith -- latter two

    also Showing table models. Announced, but not exhibited, was crystal -controlled

    FM -only table model, to cost $100 -$150, promised by American Quartz Labs, Yonkers,

    N.Y. Principals are Anton Chmela and William Maron, latter also heading FM station

    AM APPLICATION 'FREEZE': FCC revamp of AM engineering procedure for applicants, is- Sued Thursday, evoked bravos from consulting engineers, most of whom felt move

    "Sound" and "long- needed." Fundamentally, the plan (issued as Public Notice 2421;

    we'll get a copy for you if desired) enlists aid of consultants in preparing master

    channel surveys for all AM applicants desiring same channel. In this way, FCC be-

    lieves it can lick AM application load involving "complicated engineering problems"

    -- 188 as of end of 1946. In order to effectuate plan, Commission said AM applica-

    tions filed between Feb. 7 and May 1 would not be processed until after latter date.

    POLITICAL WATERS CALM: As yet, lots of scuttlebutt, little or no action, on the

    political Scene so far as it affects radio. Talk about investigations is mainly

    fair weather comment right now -- neither Senator White nor Rep. Wolverton, as

    chairmen of key committees, expressing any inclination to that end. Senator Tobey

    hasn't come up yet with his bill to probe FCC's high -band FM allocations, but Rep.

    Lemke (N.D.) has introduced resolution to restore portion of 50 me band because high -

    band "deprives farmers and rural residents of benefits of FM radio." Lemke also

    said he contemplates bill to drive "slush" from air -- what he calls "stuff that

    debauches the youth of the nation."

    Even GOP Chairman Reece, who for political effect threatened lots of dire

    things before the elections, now says "no witch hunt" is planned "unless something

    rotten is found." GOP wants to capture control of what he calls Congressional com-

    missions, like FCC, and to that end Senators White and Brewster, of Maine, called on

    President Truman Tuesday to_ ask him to appoint Miss Marion E. Martin, of Maine, to

    FCC vacancy. Law prescribes not more than 4 commissioners from same party; FCC now

    has 3 Democrats (Chairman Denny, Walker, Durr), 2 Republicans (Wakefield, Hyde),

    one Independent (Jett).

    Miss Martin seems likely to get the job. Senator White tells us he will

    be "greatly disappointed" if she doesn't. She would be first woman commissioner.

    Fortyish, a true New England conservative, she is distinctly a career woman, who

    enjoys high regard in government circles. She's from Bangor, served in State Legis-

    lature before coming to Washington in 1937 to become assistant chairman of the

    Republican National Committe and director of its Women's Division. She is still

    Maine's National Comimtteewoman, was first suggested by Guy Gannett, Portland pub-

    lisher and radio station owner. Other reported candidates: ex- Senator Mead of New

    York, Democrat; Thad Brown Jr., attorney, son of late FCC commissioner, Republican.

    BRITAIN'S EMI AND FM -TV: Sir Ernest Fisk, managing director of Britain's big EMI (Electric & Musical Industries Ltd.), this week signed patent contract in New York with Maj. Armstrong, covering rights for whole British Empire. And Maj. Armstrong released full list of domestic set -making licensees as follows: Airadio, Ansley, Browning, Espey, Fada, Freed, Garod, GE, Hallicrafters, Howard, Magnavox, Maguire, Minerva, Pilot, Scott, Stewart -Warner, Stromberg- Carlson, Templetone, Westinghouse, Zenith. (Sir Ernest, incidentally, also reported he foresaw neither high definition nor color TV in England at any early date; "ancillary" technical problems, he said, mean color TV is "a number of years away. ")

    AM ON VHF A 'DEAD HORSE': What he calls "HiFAM," or AM broadcasting in the vhf band, almost unanimously considered a "dead horse" in radio industry, is still being per- sistently ridden by Sarkes Tarzian, engineer and components manufacturer of Bloom- ington, Ind. Having experimented with system for last half year over his develop-

    mental W9XHZ, Tarzian now asks FCC for commercial license. He also wants portion

    www.americanradiohistory.com

  • of FM band set aside for it, claiming such advantages over FM as spectrum economy, ease of standard receiver conversion, inexpensive sets.

    Top engineers here say Tarzian is about "10 years behind the times," that hiS System was investigated and rightly discarded in favor of FM years ago. But he keeps plugging, cites even Crosley's engineering v.p., L. M. Clement, as saying he believes FCC will eventually approve "HiFAM" for local coverage. From where we Sit, it doesn't look as though system has ghost of a chance.

    SIGHT AND SOUND: Resumed color TV hearings will be somewhat longer -drawn -out than first planned, with FCC fixing Jan. 27 and 28 for actual demonstrations by both CBS and DuMont in Room 1703, U. S. Courthouse, Foley Sq., New York. Then session, with all commissioners sit- ting, moves to Princeton Jan. 29 for further testimony on RCA system. Final hearing is in Washington, Feb. 10.

    NAB board meeting in San Francisco this week voted confidence in BMB, reported membership at 1,282 (129 new members being admitted at session), approved budget of approximately $650,000 (without jump in dues), picked Atlantic City as 1947 convention site and week of Sept. 15 as date. NAB board also voted, among other things, its opposition to secondary boycott (to which industry has been particularly vulnerable under threat of both AFRA and AFM).

    Changes in TV channel assignments are sought by two recent grantees -Earle C. Anthony, Los Angeles (KFI) protesting No. 9 (186 -192 mc) and asking instead for No. 4 (66 -72 mc) which was assigned NBC; San Fran- cisco Chronicle also asking for No. 4, in lieu of No. 11 (198 -204 mc), since No. 4 is still available in bay area. Uncertain propagation characteristics on higher bands was given as reason; KFI in addition asks local interests be favored.

    DuMont's WABD, New York, goes off air Jan. 24 for 30 days to hook up present 1 kw transmitter to its new 3 -bay, bat -wing, super -turnstile antenna (RCA) atop 515 Madison Ave., which will increase its ERP to 22.5 kw. At same time John Wanamaker studios will be altered in preparation for 28- hours -a -week schedule effective April 1.

    Democratic nominees for Senate Interstate & Foreign Commerce Committee include virtually same names as last Congress -Edwin C. Johnson, (Colo.), Tom Stewart (Tenn.), Ernest W. McFarland (Ariz.), Warren G. Mag- nuson (Wash.), Francis J. Myers (Penn.), Brien McMahon (Conn.). For Republican members, see Vol. 3, No. 1.

    FCC Comr. Walker, usually not very outspoken, though oft -dissenting, made no bones about his antipathy for AM- FM duplication during Friday "trial" of WTOL, Toledo, on Blue Book charges -first of "test" cases (Vol. 2, No. 51). Station, cited for program deficiencies under Blue Book regulations, gave no indication of intention to dispute Com- mission's jurisdiction along lines being urged by NAB, promised if it gets FM it will not duplicate excessively.

    NBC paid New York Giants $50,000 for TV rights to all 77 home games of this year. DuMont has Yankees, CBS Dodgers (Vol. 2, No. 49) thus assuring N. Y. audi- ence will get sports telecasts virtually every afternoon this spring and summer.

    Ex- Senator Burton K. Wheeler and son, Edward K. Wheeler, have formed law partnership (Wheeler & Wheeler), with offices in Washington's Southern Bldg. The younger Wheeler has withdrawn from Vesey, Wheeler & Prince (now Vesey, Prince & Clineburg).

    Highly optimistic reports from FM transmitter mak- ers: GE's James D. McLean says company this week shipped 100th unit (3 kw) from Syracuse plant to Phila- delphia Bulletin's WPEN -FM, has more than 100 more orders to fill. Federal's Norman Wunderlich reports WTCN -FM, Minneapolis, first to get delivery of its 3 kw with 8 -bay antenna, is throwing usable night signal into Duluth, 130 miles away. First Federal 10 kw has been delivered to WELD, Columbus; of 32 orders for 3 kw, 28 are on delivery, also 4 out of 16 orders for 10 kw.

    CPA's liberalization of dollar volume of non -housing construction from $35 million to $50 million dollars per week has a joker. It's this: A substantial part of the increase is accounted for by the jump in costs of construct- ion. Therefore, it doesn't look as if the number of CPA approvals for commercial construction will be increased to any great extent, for time being at least.

    Associated with Leonard Asch (WBCA, Schenectady) in Radio Consultants Inc., Denrike Bldg., Washington, are Harold Blodgett, Schenectady attorney, a big stock- holder in WBCA; W. R. David, GE broadcast equipment sales manager; J. Gerald Mayer, ex- Signal Corps contract terminations chief; Graeme C. Bannerman, Scott G. Rigby. Latter trio are Washington attorneys (Mayer, Bannerman & Rigby). Radio Consultants Inc. plans to service broad- casters with advice on applications, sites construction, rates, programs, personnel, promotion.

    An intra -plant video system, called the Utiliscope, has been in use for last 9 months at one of New York Consoli- dated Edison's power plants, Farnsworth revealed this week. A TV camera is focused on the water -level gauge of a boiler and continuously transmits a 200 -line picture via cable to power plant control room attendants, 325 ft. (8 floors and a building wall) away. Farnsworth sees day not too distant when TV will have wide industrial appli- cations- notably for watching dangerous atomic fission experiments. Remington -Rand also specializes in this form of video.

    Repeal of 10% excise tax on radio and TV sets (Vol. 2, No. 50) will be helpful in decreasing price of FM and TV sets, thus aid establishment of infant industries. That's a main argument by RMA excise tax committee, headed by Sonora's Joseph Gerl, in memo to Congress Friday.

    Stromberg- Carlson's "DynaTenna," FM antenna es- pecially designed for dealers, is being distributed to Strom - berg franchise holders. Antenna, which covers both low and high band, may be peaked for maximum response to a particular frequency thus permitting high level demonstration.

    The 34 kw WELD, Columbus, is putting out -reported in wire to FMA meeting Friday by Les Nafzger -is claim- ed as "highest radiated power yet achieved by commercial broadcaster on 100 mc FM band."

    Sam Miller, who set up FCC's FM section and was its first chief, resigned this week fo join Washington law firm of Cohn & Marks.
