Radio RADIO POLITICS COSTS PARTIES TWOMILLIONS Rates of NBC Network Is $11,500 Hourly; Columbia Charges $4,000. Approximately $2,000,000 is the estimated figure that is being expended by the two national political parties and their susidiaries in promoting the radio campaign of the two major organizations. This estimate represents the capital outlay over the microphone for the advancement of the two political parties until election eve, exclusive of the free time given by some stations to major political events, whichwould raise the total considerably above the two-million mark. The official budget for the Democratic party is $600,000, and according to party leaders it is expected that the sum will reach at least a million, due to radio campaigns being launched by state and local committees, paid for locally. $300,00 Already Spent? Os this budget, it is said that over $300,000 has already been expended, and the remainder will be used for network campaigning from now until election day. The Republican leaders profess ignorance of the actual budget for radio expenditure, but expect that the central office bill will run above the $500,000 mark, with state and local expenses totaling about the 6ame amount. The rates of the National Broadcasting Company, with its network of forty-nine stations, according to officials of the company, is about $11,500 an hour, while the Columbia Broadcasting System, with its hookup of nineteen stations, has a rate of about $4,000 an hour. 50,000,000 to Listen In The rates of the two systems is increased proportionately when nonnetwork stations are added to the chain. Radio stations are estimating that probably as many as 50,000,000 people in the United States will be listening in on the election.

Using two stages of push-pull amplification, employing 171A tubes, the Day-Fan engineers have produced a set with exceptional tone quality. Stations are received clearly and with equal volume on both high and low wave lengths. During the week this test was made, as many as fifty stations were timed in during a single night, ranging from Colorado to New York and from Texas to Canada. Due to poor weather conditions during the test, we were unable to pick up west coast stations, but we believe that under better conditions this set will bring in stations from coast to coast. The workmanship on both set and cabinet is of highest type, the design of the console model is neat and compact, and will harmonize with the furnishings of practically any home. The new Day-Fan eighttube AC set will win many friends among the radio owners. It is distributed in Indianapolis and central Indiana by Riser Brothers & Cos., 561 East Washington street, and is sold through eight Indianapolis dealers. Next Thursday: The new Model 52 Atwater-Kent AC Receiver.
