We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Among the States now within the reliable service range of WJSV, Mr. Butcher said, were Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York, in addition to the territory above mentioned. In fact, favorable reports have been received from 28 States in this country and 4 provinces in Canada. The station is said to be heard particularly well in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Since it has always been nip and tuck between NBC and Columbia, it is safe to assume that Columbia’s lead in Washington will be quickly followed by its competitor. This was clearly foreseen at the time Columbia acquired a 10,000 watt transmitter. WRC, the NBC station, is using only 500 watts, whereas WBAL in Baltimore is rated at 10,000 watts, and 50,000 watt stations in other cities are becoming numerous.
The NBC is known to be anxious to secure an outlet for its WJZ network in the Capital and for sometime has endeavored to secure another local station, notably WMAL, which is now operating independently. Should the NBC find a way to increase the power of WRC, or the number of its local stations, it is predicted that Columbia will endeavor to step WJSV up to 50,000 watts.
Mr. Bellows, the new Columbia resident vice-president in Washington, was born in Portland, Me. in 1885. After graduat¬ ing from Harvard, he became a professor in rhetoric there, and later the editor of the Bellman in Minneapolis. Then he began with WCCO.
Mr. Bellows is an expert publicist and when acting as spokesman for the Federal Radio Commission made his press conferences so interesting that frequently he had as many news¬ paper correspondents present at the Commission as attended the White House press conferences of President Coolidge.
The assignment of Mr. Bellows to Washington doubtless will silence the rumor that he is apt to be reappointed to the Federal Radio Commission by President Roosevelt. Mr. Bellows will assume his new duties in Washington January 1st.
