BUSINESS RULES REVIEWED
The Federal Trade Commission this week announced that it had completed its task of reviewing the rules of business practice adopted by nearly 80 industries at trade practice conferences held at various times* These rules relate gener¬ ally to practices and methods in doing business that the industry believes are opposed to economic principles or to fairness, or ethics, or good morals, although such practices or methods are not required by law. Rules for each industry will be annoiinced separately in the future.
SKY WAVE. TROUBLESOME
Trouble with sky wave interference is slowing up progress with synchroniza¬ tion, according to Dr C* B. Jolliffe, chief engineer of the Commission, and Dr. C* W. Horn, general engineer of the NBC*
Change in antenna design to curtail the emitted sky-wave and emphasize the ground-wave is one of the necessities that is evident as a result of the experi¬ ments thus far. Dr. Jolliffe declared.
"We haven't mastered the problem entirely," says Dr. Horn, "but we know we are on the right track. We just haven't reached the term.inal."
The synchronization experiments conducted between WJZ and WEiiF in New York and WTIC, Hartford, and WBAL, Baltimore, show that the service areas of the sta¬ tions can be covered without interference and that the principal trouble is re¬ sulting from the sky wove. Both engineers seem to be encouraged with results.
TELEVISION ON SHORT WAVES
John V. L. Hogan, radio engineer and Chairman of the NAB engineering com¬ mittee, has requested the Commission to grant Station W2XAR, Long Island, a li¬ cense to conduct television experiments above 40,000 kilocycles.
