Radio RELOCATING OF RADIO STATIONS TO BE ORDERED * Listeners Must Revamp Their Logs, With Many Sweeping Changes, By ROSCOE B. FLEMING Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. The basis of broadcasting and radio reception in the United States will be changed completely by the radio commission through its sweeping reallocation plan to be announced Monday, probably to go into effect Oct. 10.

All present stations will be continued, but listeners will find old favorites at new points on the dial. Their log will have to be remade completely, and fans probably wifi lose some stations entirely, due to drastic cuts in power. The new allocation will represent six month’s hard work by the commission, following the congressional command last winter to distribute broadcasting facilities equally among the five radio zones and to divide facilities among the States in each zone according to population. Divided Into 74 Channels While giving no inkling as to the fate of individual stations, the commission has divided the broadcasting band into seventy-four chanels. Forty of these full-time channels are to be given to broadcasters of 5.000 watts and more each, eight to each zone. The other thirty-four full-time channels are to be divided to give each zone twenty-five regional channels, time to be shared by two, three or four stations of 500 to 1,000 watts power each, and thirty channels for local service, several stations of 100 watts and less sharing time on each of the latter. The commission seems satisfied with its work except Commissioner Pickard of zone No. 4 (Middlewest), who expressed the hope the commission would wait for Congress to ratify the allocations, and said Zone 4 would “bear the brunt of the reallocation.” Commissioner Caldwell, however, said that the new plan means improved service for at least 60,000,000 people, mostly seevnty-five miles or father from the nearest station. He is especially proud of the chance for service given to the smaller neighborhood stations. Means Station Reduction The plan as worked out seems to provide for only 315 stations in all, against about 600 now in the air. Indeed, Caldwell pointed out, the commission could provide room for only 165 stations operating at the same time, taking into consideration the three-hour difference between the East and Far West. It is anticipated many of the smaller stations will be on the air cnly a few hours a week, broadcasting a basketball game, a speech or some other locally interesting program. The commission feels this situation will be more than met by the fact that listeners in all parts of the country are expected to be able to choose between several programs on the forty high-power, full-time channels. The reallocation will hit certain States hard, such as Illinois, where about forty stations, several of highpower, must divide two high-power channels, seven regional channels and eight loca. channels.

Question —I have an Atwater Kent set using six UX-20-A tubes and no power tube; an Exide “A” power unit and a Majestic "B" power supply. The “A unit consits of a six-volt battery and a Tungar one-half ampere charger. The set is used two hours a day on an average. I have charged the battery on 1275 and after using it for three days, the reading gradually drops to 1230 where it remains. This shows that the charger must be working. If I use the set immediately after the battery is charged a drop in volume is noticed. What will remedy this slow drop in volume?—R, E. H. st st tt a st st Answer—-The battery is not being properly charged. Either the charger is not working effectively or a defect exists inside the battery. Give it a good overcharge for three or four hours after the specific gravity ceases to rise. This will liven it up if it is possible to do so. Otherwise it should be turned over to a service tation.

Radio WILL ROGERS FOR PRESIDENT TO GOJ)N AIR Humorist Has Farm Relief Program That Will Make Hit Everywhere. Theatrical stars of the past and present will go on the air Wednesday evening. Sept. 12, in support of the presidency candidacy of their old friend and colleague, Will Rogers, who is running in the pages of Life, the humorous weekly, as the nominee of the “Anti-Bunk” party. Raymond Hitchcock, Gene Buck, Leon Errol and Walter Winchell are among the celebrities who will participate in what is termed a “Broadway rally” for Rogers, which will be broadcast from WOR over the Columbia network of twenty stations. The feature, will take the place of the regular Kolster hour, the sponsors of which have ' yielded their time to the Rogers boosters. The cowboy humorist himself—who has announced that modesty is one of the chief planks of his platform—will not be present, but his friends of the theater will offer a regular, old-time, country town political rally in his behalf, and will endeavor to clarify the following brief statement, made by Rogers in announcing his candidacy: “I chews to run.” No Sex Appeal In addition to giving a program of music and speeches, which will include the hits of the Follies, when Rogers was one of its chief attractions, tne entertainers will explain one of the planks of Rogers’ antibunk platform, announced by the comedy candidate as follows: “I want it understood at the beginning that in my campaign there will be no effort for sex appeal. Os course, if it unconsciously creeps in, why, we can’t help it, but sex appeal will by no means be one of the planks of my platform.” Rogers’ position on farm relief also will be elaborated, beyond the declaration which he makes himself in the following words: “I am the only candidate running this year who ever looked a mule in the face (or otherwise) down a corn row, and I know I can’t do anything for the farmer. Neither can Smith or Hoover, but I’m going to tell him I can’t before election. “The only difference to him if he

That human exhibits still remain one of the feature attractions at State fairs is suggested by the hundreds of smiling onlookers who daily jam their noses against the large windows of the better babies building to watch the crop of future citizens undergo mental tests and other examinations at a special welfare service feature of the Indiana State fair. Mental tests seem to attract the most attention from the crowd who see the youngsters put through their paces by Irwin Schultz, associate professor of education at Butler. Most of the babies respond normally to the tests, but a few apparently get stage fright when they notice the crowd laughing at them through the windows and refuse to “perform.”

G. 0. P. WORKS TO UNITE AL'S FOESJNSOUTK Seeks to Avoid Division of Votes Against Smith; Organize Five States. By PAUL R. MALLON L’nitcd Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Sept. 7.—A plan to consolidate anti-Smith Democrats and Republicans of the South behind a single group of Hoover electors is being worked out in five southern States, headquarters of Herbert Hoover, Republican presidential candidate, was informed today. The movement is in the hands of southern Democrats opposed to Governor Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic nominee, and the Republican National Committee is spending no money topromote the project, it was said officially. The scheme is designed to prevent division of the anti-Smith vote Under the electoral system, a ballot is cast not for the presidential candidate but for the elector who is pledged to that candidate. If the anti-Smith Democrats put one slate of electors in the field against the regular Republican slate and the regular Democratic slate, the anti-Smith vote would be split. But under the consolidation arrangement both the anti-Smith Democrats and Republicans will be able to vote for the same slate of electors. The scheme already has been adopted in Georgia and Alabama and is contemplated in Texas,

The only Southern State in which the anti-Smith Democrats have not organized is South Carolina. But, they are not officially claiming any of the Southern States. They say frankly they do not know how much they can expect otit of this territory. Acquitted a Peeper By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept. 7. Noah Fisher.
