LISTENERS CONSIDERED IN CONVENTION RADIO PLAN
_ A.'
-—- - \
Political Moguls to Avoid
Breaking Up of Schedules
Important Speeches and Activities Will Be
Segregated During Two Periods of
Day and Night.
By The Radio Editor.
THERE will be minimum upsetting of regular program schedules of the
major networks during broadcasts from both the Republican and the
Democratic National Conventions next month. So far as possible,
efforts wUl be made to concentrate these political broadcasts during
'early afternoon and late evening periods.
All plans for the Republican convention, which begins in Cleveland June
v. nave ueeii LUiupiritu. uicv
nominee is unknown, the Republican j
► conclave will not be controllable to the [
same extent as the Democratic in so!
far as radio time is concerned. Thus,
while every effort will be made to have
’ important events broadcast during j
“free time,” there is no definite assur
ance that such will be the case.
Arrangements have just been com
pleted by the Democratic Committee
with representatives of the four net
works to broadcast its political ex
travaganza from Philadelphia June
23-29. The schedule of broadcasts has
been drafted to interfere as little as
possible with the normal program
offerings of the chains. All important
speeches and activities will be segre
gated during two periods of the day
and night.
The bulk of the afternoon activities,
under the prearranged plan, will oc
cur between the hours of 2 and 5. And
at night, efforts will be made to con
centrate the “heavy business” after 10
o'clock, when regular sponsored pro
gram schedules will be out of the way,
for the most part. The idea of this
is twofold: First, the networks prefer
it that way, and secondly, the Demo
cratic moguls feel the listeners will
have a more kindly attitude if their
favorite programs are not interfered
with.
'T'HESE details, plus many others,
1 were worked out by representatives
of the committee and the networks at
a session in Washington last week.
Sitting for the committee were Charles
Michelson, veteran public relations
chief of the New Deal; William B.
Dolph, radio director, who normally
functions as manager of Station WOL,
and Oliver A. Quayle, assistant to W.
Forbes Morgan, chairman of the Ar
i rangements Committee.
^ The networks which will carry the
Democratic convention proceedings are
N. B. C.. Columbia, Mutual Broadcast
ing System and Intercity Group, the
, latter embracing some eight stations
along the Eastern Seaboard. In ad
dition, Station WFIL, in Philadelphia,
will have its own private booth for a
tunning commentary of the event.
'All of the networks, of course, will
have their ace commentators, an
nouncers and engineers at both con
ventions. They maintain the cover
age will be more comprehensive than
ever before. The radio commentators
will have their own “radio gallery,”
totally distinct from the press gallery,
at the Philadelphia convention, to ac
commodate two dozen men of the mike.
This arrangement is exclusive of the
booth facilities supplied each network
on the platform.
T5 ADIO will signalize the opening of
the political conclave on June
23 without the frill and fanfare that
usually accompanies such an event.
Postmaster General Parley, chairman
of the committee, will be heard at
this opening session. Then that eve
ning at 10 p.m. the keynote speech
will be delivered by Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, majority leader of the
Senate.
The high-spot occurs Thursday,
June 25, when the presidential nom
inating speech is delivered, again at
10 p.m„ and at the same hour the
following evening Vice President Gar
ner will be heard. The climax oc
curs Saturday at 10 p.m., when Pres
ident Roosevelt will deliver his accept
ance speech from Franklin Field, Phil
adelphia.
Handlers of the convention and the
networks were fearful about the
music copyright situation in connec
*tion with the convention. The net
works do not hold licenses to perform
the music of Warner Bros, publishing
houses, and they dreaded infringement
suits, lest some of the floor delegation
bands strike up tunes on the re
stricted list which would throw the
networks and their affiliated stations
open to infringement suits.
pOREWARNED on this, radio offl
cials of the Democratic committee
had decided to demand that all bands
submit complete lists of numbers they
■would perform in advance. The un
* derstanding was that if any band
started a tune not on the eligible list,
the radio pick-ups would immediately
be cut off, to prevent possible per
formance over the air. A music
copyright “checker” was to be on the
convention floor as added protection.
All this, however, it now develops,
becomes unnecessary because the War
ner music moguls have decided to give
convention bands carte blanche to
perform their numbers. Moreover,
they have made known that they will
not hold networks or stations liable
for any of their music which may be
performed even though these stations
hold no licenses. This, it was re
ported, was done on the theory that
convention broadcasts constitute a
“public service" of the nature that
should not make necessary payment
of royalties to copyright owners.
'T'HE way of the criminal trans
gressor is getting harder and
harder as radio scientists learn more
and more about how to apply their
discoveries to the relentless efforts of
police to make the Nation safe for
living.
One of the newer tricks in radio
sleuthing is a new way of changing
of one-way systems into two-way com
munication so that cruising patrol
men can talk back to their superior,
as well as take orders for them. The
two-way transmission makes the com
munication similar to ordinary tele
phone communication. The chief of
police or the dispatcher can cut into
the conversation without any switch
ing operations under this new duplex
system.
Under the so-called simplex system
of two-way conversation It Is neces
sary to wait until the party at the
other end is through talking. Even
the chief himself must wait patiently
until the policeman is through saying
his piece before he can give him
orders.
A "talk-back" receiver is the gadget
that does the trick. It has a filter
that allows simultaneous transmission
and reception at headquarters yet
uses only one transmission line and
one antenna. Higher frequencies are
used for this reception.
AN IMPORTANT step in raising the
power of radio to sweep criminals
off the map and into damp cells
was taken last week by the Federal
Communications Commission when it
assigned a number of frequencies for
intercity police use. Along about
Autumn the International Associa
tion of Police Chiefs will hold their
annual get-together, and they will
have before them complete plans to
set up a radio code system tieing in
cities all over the Nation.
The F. C. C. weaned nine choice
frequencies used by a group of early
television experimenters to provide
police with air room to set up their
code system. In recent years tele
vision experimenters have turned to
the ultra-high frequencies for their
sight transmission efforts, most of
them now using cathode ray tubes
instead of the earlier scanning disc
systems.
A radio telegraph system will be set
up by the police and perhaps in a
year or two it will be used to carry
facsimiles of portraits and finger
prints. At first, however, it will be
used mainly to supplement the auto
matic teletypewriter systems that
many States have.
For exampe, a police message in
New York could be sent by radio
to adjoining States, which in turn
could relay it to other States, and
these could continue the relays until
the entire 48 States had been reached,
all within a matter of minutes. At
the same time the New York police
would be sending the message on the
present teletype system, which links
five and other nearby States.
LITTLE farther in the future Is
the plan nursed by J. Edgar
Hoover the Department of Justice’s
ace director of the kidnaper-exterm
inating G-Men. Hoover has been
tinkering since last November with a
plan to set up a powerful broadcast
transmitter in Washington. He sends
out regular messages from a Bureau
of Standards station and is checking
reports from listeners who pick up the
test broadcasts.
One of Hoover’s fondest dreams is
a radio communication system by
which he will be in constant ear-and
eye communications with the whole
Nation, whether he be in his air
cooled Washington office or cruising
in his bullet-proof limousine. This
dream envisions the day when he can
apply television and facsimile and
broadcast communication to his drive
to rid the country of professional
criminals.
Two Important Stations May
Become Adjuncts of Columbia
• XYfHETHER two important broad
1 casting stations—KNX, Los An
geles, and WEEI, Boston—will become
licensed adjuncts of the Columbia
Broadcasting System, now rests with
the Federal Communications Commis
sion by virtue of pending applications
for their assignment from present
licensees to the Nation-wide network.
In connection with the projected
purchase of KNX for a record price
of approximately $1,300,000, the Fed
eral Communications Commission
Broadcast Division has decided to hold
• a formal hearing next June 29. At
the same time it will consider renewal
of that station’s license, since it was
cited some months ago for alleged
violations of program ethics by broad
casting programs with advertising con
strued by the F. C. C. to be inimical
to public welfare.
Also before the Broadcast Division
is the application for assignment of
WEEI from the Edison Electric Illum
inating Co. of Boston, to C. B. S.
v under a lease arrangement providing
lor payment of $219,000 a year for
six years, with an option to purchase.
In adidtion, there would be a consid
eration for leasing studios and offices.
Whether this application also will be
set for hearing has not yet been in
dicated.
The importance of these two license
transfers lies in the fact that the
affiliations of more than a dozen other
• stations with existing networks are
involved. Assuming approval «of the
transfers, the complexion of%etwork
operations of stations on the Pacific
Coast and in the New England area
will^e changed in several ways.
C. B. S. Is holding in abeyance
plans for expansion of its West Coast
facilities until such time as the F. C. C.
acts upon Its proposed purchase of
KNX. It is reported that an invest
ment of $500,000 is contemplated in
new studios from which many net
work programs would be keyed to the
100-station line-up of C. B. 8. Holly
wood's growing importance as a net
work program originating point is re
sponsible for this increased activity
on the coast. N. B. C., within the last
year, has added sumptuous new Los
Angeles studios.
If and when KNX Joins C. B.S., the
present outlets of that network will
return to independent status, or per
haps Join the newest of the major
network entities—Mutual Broadcasting
System. The important stations are
KHJ, Los Angeles, and KFRC, San
Francisco, both owned by Don Lee
Broadcasting System. Both are
scheduled to leave C. B. 8. not later
than January 1, next Then C. B. S.
will have to acquire an affiliate in
San Francisco, and all signs point
to KSFO, an Independent in that
city.
Dowling Named.
gTAGE and screen campaigning for
President Roosevelt during the
jmrrent presidential effort again will
be in the hands of Eddie Dowling,
Broadway performer, now currently
on a network radio program. He
served in the same capacity in 1832
and was in charge of the show business
vq£-getting.

New Ideas for Autumn
Something More Than a Few Popular Tunes
and a Crooner Needed to Get Public
to Turn on Kadio.
By Dorothy Mattison.
WHAT’S the big idea? That’s
what every sponsor—and
every sophisticated dialer—
wants to know. Just now,
it’s vacation time for some folks, but
for radio's program-builders Summer
is just one big headache brought on by
all the mental strain trying to hatch
out some brand-new ideas for the PaU
programs.
Not a few of the old stand-bys of
the airwaves have gone just about as
far as they’re going under their pres
ent set-up. Which means it’s up to
some one with an idea to come to the
rescue—or the fellows who have been
paying good money to keep them on
the air will trot out and sign up some
new talent for the coming season.
The conventional Summer formula
of dance band and vocaUst will get by
for a couple of months during radio’s
imminent off-season. But after that
it’s going to take more than a few
popular tunes sided by a full-voiced
tenor or contralto crooner to keep the
listeners attentive.
r\ONT be surprised if “Show Boat,”
'L/ for one, soon makes the change
hinted some weeks ago, bringing A1
Goodman and his orchestra to this
bill for the first time. Ramona, Sam
Hearn and Jack Arthur have also been
auditioned. Meanwhile, Ramona is
getting a Summer series of her own
on CBS in company with Jack Bhil
kret’s orchestra and the Three Jes
ters.
Baritone Nelson Eddy is doing all
right with plans for the new season,
having signed with Grace Moore's
former sponsor for a 26-week series
in the Fall. Looks as if Jack Benny’s
sponsor may shift him and his troupe
to NBC’s Red Network in August. It
won’t be a shift, or even a renewal,
for the Eddie Dowling-Ray Dooley
show, however. That series concludes
on June 9. It would be interesting
to see that pair back on the radio
scene next year—provided they can
round up a good comedy writer in the
interim.
Just when the listeners won by Cor
nelia Otis Skinner last year were be
ginning to give up hope, comes news
that she will be back this Summer,
again pinch-hitting for Walter Win
j chell, beginning July 1.
'T'HE domestic difficulties of “Betty
"*■ and Bob” depart from NBC for
Columbia for morning airings, begin
ning June 1. The Round and Round
Boys, along with their originators,
Farley and Riley, get an NBC series
Wednesday at 2:45 p.m. . . . Laurel
and Hardy may be radio's next re
cruits from the screen ... Bob Hope's
program shifts from Saturday to
Thursday, June 4, to air at 7:30.
Radio Row says the “Follies of the
Air” will conclude June 6, with Lou
Holtz continuing in the comedy spot
into which he stepped the other night
. . . Those are real midgets on the
Bobby Benson show which has just
elected to go fantastic in plot as well
as cast .. .Gilbert Seldes and John B.
Kennedy are being mentioned for the
editorial post on another “Newspaper
of the Air” idea.
WOR’s “Listener Speaks” program,
on which the listener gets a chance
to talk back to the broadcasters, for
once, is back Sundays at 3:30 . . .
Vivian Della Chiesa, recently signed
by N. B. C., gets a spot with Roy
Shields’ Orchestra Tuesday nights at
10:30 on the Red network, a two-a
week on the WJZ hook-up and her
own program Sunday afternoons . . .
Martha Deane, most popular woman
air-caster of them all . . . and for
good reason . . . has a new WOR
Monday morning series, in addition
to her regular bills . . . Bernice
Claire and Oliver Smith are teamed
for the new “Melodiana” series on
N. B. C.-WJZ Mondays at 8:30 p.m.
rPHOSE Tuesday night guest-star
plans for the Leo Reisman-Phil
Lord show have folded. It’s all be
cause Loretta Clemens scored such a
hit as the first visitor on the list
that she gets a permanent starring
role . . . Allen Prescott, “Wiie
Saver,” will jolly the N. B. C. house
wives after he shifts networks June
3 . . . Belle Baker, one of the great
est singers of them all, is planning a
return to the air waves, with two
C. B. S. sponsors more than casually
interested.
“Dan Harding’s Wife” courts a
wider audience, beginning this week,
when N. B. C.’s Red network takes
it over for daily 10:15 a.m. broad
cast . . . Scads of bands will return
to the network parade with the open
of resort spots in and about Man
hattan . . . Enric Madriguera and
Jolly Cobum and their orchestras get
an N. B. C. wire.
T ITTLE JACK LITTLE is on West
ern tour, but he’ll be heard on
the Summer air waves via C. B. S.
from Catalina Island, where he ar
rives May 31 . . . Fletcher Hender
son’s orchestra has replaced Earl
Hines on the WEAF and WJZ hook
ups’ late night spots . . . Charles
Dornberger’s band is subbing for
Johnny Johnson's orchestra, now on
tour. Johnson resumes June 7 . . .
Jacques Fray and his orchestra have
opened at the St. Regis roof and he
gets a network spot ... Abe Lyman is
returning East from Chicago by
gradual stages, playing a theater en
gagement here and there without In
terruption of his air shows . . . Joe
Reichman opens at the Pennsylvania
roof June l . . . Red Nichols makes
a dance tour, beginning June 8.

spot with Madge Marley and the Twin
City Foursome . . . WEAF contrib
utes a 7:30 p.m. variety bill, "Satur

^LFRED WALLENSTEIN'S current
eries winds up this week, but
right off he begins a new Mutual se
ries Sunday nights at 8 . . . C. B. S.
has a new teatime musicale Wednes
days at 4:30 . . . Paul Whiteman,
talcing time out from promotion of
