S.F. CHRONICLE SETS PACE WITH NEW POSTWAR RADIO COLUMN
Publication of a radio column described as the first post¬ war daily column in Northern California was begun September 1 by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Paul Speegle, Chronicle staff writer with radio background, is writing the column, "Radio Check". Reviews of shows, reports on new programs, changes in times and schedules, and new technical developments in radio are included in the column’s contents.
Mr. Speegle, according to Editor and Publisher also will interview radio personalities, explore new trends, report on new policies and give significant local personnel changes.
Coincidental with the column’s start the Chronicle began a new and improved radio log, designed for easier reading. Agate type was retained but full-column width was used instead of the for¬ mer halfcolumn.
The revision resulted in a 40-inch log for the first day of revision as compared with 27-g inches for a previous Sunday.
Mr. Speegle joined the Chronicle as drama critic eight years ago, taking leave of absence in 1942 to enlist in the Amy Air Force. He rejoined the newspaper early this year as a feature writ¬ er and has also taken part in many radio productions.
Since several years before the war, newspapers in San Fran¬ cisco have omitted printed comment on broadcasting and contented themselves with use of a radio log only.

NETHERLANDS HAIL "STEREOPHONIC BROADCASTING"
A premiere performance for Europe, and as far as is known for the entire world, of stereophonic broadcasting took place over the Netherlands radio recently. Judging by the enthusiastic review in the Dutch press and favorable comments by listeners in Belgium, France, and Britain, this type of broadcasting is "a great improve¬ ment over the present system", the Netherlands Information Bureau, at 5 Dupont Circle in Washington, asserts. Although the principle of stereophonic transmission is simple and known to every radio engineer, this was the first time that its successful operation was proved outside the laboratory.
For stereophonic broadcasting a program is sent out over two separate microphones, each with a different wave length. For reception, two radio sets are needed, which are placed at a right angle from each other and each tuned to one of the two wave lengths.
According to Dutch music critics, the receotion of a con¬ cert given by the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra was so good that, according to one of the reviewers, to return to the one-radio system
