Radio FANS PIN HOPE ON HOOVER FOR RADIO RELIEF President Will Have Big Part in Solution of Major Problems. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—What will President-elect Herbert Hoover do about the radio problem? ' That is one of the questions at present of greatest interest to listeners, broadcasters, amateurs, manufacturers and radio engineers. One thing is certain, the incoming President has an intimate knowledge of the radio industry and he has a great interest in the listening public of the United States. Time after time, Hoover, at the four radio conferences which he convened in Washington in four successive years to work out the radio problem through voluntary co-operation of the industry, called attention to the delegates to the fact that, after all, the conference must decide what was in the interest of the listener. Boosts for Amateur He had a lot of good to say, also, for the amateurs of the country, and especially the American boy, to whom he credited much of the advancement in the radio art, partic-1 ularly in the early days. It is not only a question of what Hoover will do for radio and its regulation when he becomes President, but what he will probably j actually have to do before ie steps into the highest office in the land. Just prior to his assuming office on March 4, the terms of the present Federal Radio commissioners expire. To be exact, this will be on Feb. 23. Immediately following that, on March 15, unless additional legislation is enacted, the life of the commission expires, and it becomes an appellate body. Coolidge to Consult Hoover Inasmuch as all this happens just about the time Hoover goes into office, it is to be assumed that President Cooiidge will consult | Hoover about his wishes in the matter. It is almost a certainty that this will be done not only out of courtesy to the incoming President, bit because any action taken by the j President on radio, up to the time Hoover left the cabinet, was the I result of a conference between the j two men. Whatever action is taken by Hoo- | ver, it will be only after a careful! review of the present situation. No one is more able to do that! than the incoming President be- j cause he has not only been an en- j gineer and understands the mechanics of the problem, but he has been an enthusiastic radio fan for many years. He knows what the listeners of the country want and what they will demand. Fall Fatal to Aged Woman NEWCASTLE,. Ind., Nov. 20.- !

I now find it impossible to receive any station below thirty points on the dial unless I disconnect the ground wire. When the ground wire is disconnected I can get stations on the low numbers as before. Can you advise of the trouble and how to remedy it? S. K. ANSWER—The set is now apparently out of balance for low wave reception. The plate voltage being supplied the radio frequency tubes through, the new resistor may be higher than the old ersistor in place, causing oscillations and the snuffing out of signals on the low waves. The effect of removing the ground wire is to kill this tendency, thereby allowing the set to operate as previously. The remedy is to have the set rebalanced by a good radio service man and a resistor placed in the plate lead which supplies “B” potentials to the radio frequency amplifiers. This resistor will reduce the voltage and help restore the set to normal operation. tt a tt tt tt a A Schubert program sung by the chorus of Teachers' college of Indianapolis will be broadcast over WF3M Tuesday night at G:3O.

Aviation SEPOsIT SHOWS HEAT GAINS IN U. S. AIR LINES j Amazing Growth Revealed by Aeronautic Branch Director. Ru Th-rs Special v ’ SiIINGTON, Nov. 20.—A phenomenal record of progress in all branches of American aviation is revealed in the annual report of Major Clarence M. Young, director of the aeronautics branch of the department of commerce, made public today. The growth of air commerce and the aircraft industry of the United States, Major Young believes, is due in no small measure to strict enforcement of federal regulations, which has inspired public confidence in the safety of air transport. During 1927, American factories produced nearly 2,000 aircraft having a total value of $14,250,000, as compared with fewer than 1,200 valued at $3,870,000 in the preceding year. Exports of u’ r craft and parts during 1927 amounted to nearly $2,000,000, an increase of approximately 35 per cent ever 1926. During the first half of the current year, total sales in foreign markets of aircraft products were 38 per cent greater than the entire shipments of last year. Air transport. Major Young declares, has attained a definite place in the economic scheme of transportation. The established system is the backbone of commcr-’ cial aviation, although operations over this network form only onetenth of all civil flying. Routes Cover 11,191 Miles The routes now cover 11,191 miles on which 27, 817 miles are flov.n daily. Os these, 10,386 miles are under mail contract and 200 mail planes fly 23,224 miles daily over these routes. There are 5,880 miles lighted, 1.800 miles under contract for night flying and 5,308 additional miles considered for lighting during the fiscal year 1929. The cities actually connected by the routes at the close of the fiscal year numbered eighty-eight, the trading areas served containing 80,000,000 people. By the close of the current fiscal year, it is believed that almost all larger cities and many middle-sized communities will be connected by air routes and that smaller feeder lines will serve outlying cities. Communication to aircraft in fight along the transcontinental route, the report states, will be available within a short time. Radio equipment is under construction for replacing obsolete apparatus now in use. New apparatus will provide

radio-telephone or radio-telegraph communication as may be required on frequencies between 100 and 500 kilocycles. Much Testing Work Done Considerable research and testing work was conducted by the bureau j of standards for the aeronautics I branch during the period under review. These investigations embraced radio aids to navigation, lighting of airways, sound-proofing of airplane cabins, airplane control tests, and tests of commercial aircraft engines. Approximately 600 airplanes are j being built in American factories each month which have to be in- j spected as to their airworthiness. It | is obvious. Major Young states, that a very efficient organization of the I inspection section is essential to j carry out the work involved. To this end, factory inspectors are being employed and trained as possible for inspecting and licensing, ’ new production” airplanes at the! time they leave the factory. This, ; it is pointed out, will aid the in- I dustry by facilitating issuance of | licenses in the first instances, al- I though these planes still'will require periodical reinspection by the field i personnel of the department. Applications for pilots’ and mechanics’ licenses showed striking increase during the last fiscal year, due in large measure to the publicity given the epochal flights which occurred during that period. By June 30 last applications were on file for more than 5,500 pilohs and 5,000 mechanics, about three times the number of file on the corresponding date I the previous year. On June 30, more than 4,700 applications had been received for licensing airplanes as compared with 1,100 at the end o fthe 1927 fiscal period. Up to June 30 last, licenses had been issued for approximately 3,000 mechanics and 2,000 airplanes. | In addition, 4.000 applications for ; students’ permits have been filed. Planes Affect Fish Trade j Airplane travel is affecting the' fish trade. In Alaska it nearly has destroyed a flourishing industry, in I southern United Slates and Mexico j it has added great impetus to the ■ fishing business. In the Far North dog teams have i long been the accepted carriers. To | supply the huskies with food the salmon-drying industry arose along ! the rivers of Alaska where the fish make their yearly runs to spawn.
