HENDERSON PLEADS FOR MORS POWER Minus the special train that featured his previous tri to Washington, W. K. Henderson appeared at a Radio Commission he ing Monday with his counsel, Hebert L. Davis, and a. mass of evid¬ ence and testimony to convince that Station KWKH should be given full time with 30,000 watts power on 850 kilocycles. Representatives of Station WWL, operated at New Orleans by Loyola University on the same channel with 5,000 watts, were present to fight the application. Following an introductory statement by Mr, Davis and clashing with the WWL counsel over the submission of certain evidence, Mr. Henderson took the stand and spoke of the work being done by KWKH in behalf of the farmers and in opposition to the chain stores. He wanted more pov/er and time, he said, to reach a greater number of listeners with his campaigns. Elmer W. Pratt was acting as examiner.

The predictions of the men in close touch with the busi¬ ness indicate the radio year 1930—31, commencing this month, will see 4,000,000 receiving sets sold. This would mean a dollar value for the sets alone of over $450,000,000." X X X X X X X 7 Ph ro
