RADIO'S RISE DESCRIBED BY FEDERAL CHIEF Commission’s Chairman Relates Story of Ten Years By MAJ. GEN. CHARLES McK. SALTZMAN, Chairman Federal Radio Commission. The storv of radio is brief, but staggering. It is a story of "then'' and "now" with a scant ten years intervening between the beginning and the magnificent present. None dreamed 10 yTars ago as we fiddled with a cat's whisker on a crystal set that a flip of a dial in a decade would bring to millions of homes the sound of music, or the voice of a speaker in Europe. Ten years ago the radio enthusiast regarded his crystal detector set in t Qnly as a remarkable apparaius. but one which had dis-, e'isrired its obligation of service

I when it brought to the straining. i listener a sound originating 101 miles distant. "Then" a few shops could supply | crystal detectors, ear phones and [ spools of fine wire. The w. nld-bej radio listener had to add some technical knowledge to his own to| those parts before he could tap, radio entertainment. Even this frequently rudimentary knowledge | I was Impressive to less skilled 1 persons. All Changed Now But, "now!" All that is changed. | Th' grade school youngster of 1930 knows of radio things his father had not dreamed of 10 years! ago. The youth speaks gliby of: screen grids, wave filters and am-1 plifiers. And the little stock of j parts and crystals has overflowed! into a great industry with which j the American people has spent several billions of dollars. To that vast expenditure during the economically turbulent postwar decade has been attributed the absorption of numerous skilled weikers whose places in other in- i dustry were taken by machines. I Staggering though it may be, the ; story of radio has not been told. | But a measure of its final dimen- I sions may be surmised. In 1920 sta- i rtion KDKA. Pittsburgh, inaugural-'I

led broadcasting as we know it to-j day with the Harding Cox election, [returns. A limited group cf per-' j sous possessing radio sets receivled that necessarily circumscribed' i service. 13 Million to Listen On November 1 another election| I will be broadcast and its returns | will be broadcast and Its returnswill be made available by radio to | 13,000,000 homes. It Is not at all'an exaggerated expectation that a' I majority of the people of the Unit-! |ed Slates will tune in on that ser-l jvlce. More than 600 stations operate [today, but under close regulation to I pievent interference. Wise legis- ; lation administered by the Federal ! Radio Commission makes available [ Ito practically every citizen the I best of the radio art. That is thei story of radio to "now.” The fu-| lure chapters will be even more interesting. 0 — Aged Man Weds Fourth Time Vincennes.
