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.
STATIONS HEREAFTER TO BE ENLIGHTENED REGARDING CHARGES
The following is from "Dial Flashes" in the Washington Post and other newspapers subscribing to the service of Robert D. Heinl;
"Credit the newspapers with another reform at the Radio Commission.* In the past when a radio station was cited for a viola¬ tion and had its license held up, the Commission frequently hid behind the generalization that the station was not * operating in the public interest. *
"Very often stations were haled upon the carpet when the operators claimed they didn't have the slightest idea what the charge against them was. A station director who was called to Washington last week declared to this writer that he had not been told what was wrong and therefore was at great disadvantage in having to defend his station against charges sprung at a public hearing.
"However, this week when some 50 stations were cited for violations and the Radio Commission refused to make public the specific charges against each station, such a bombardment followed from the newspaper men that the Commission capitulated by giving out the desired information.
"Further it was announced that hereafter there would be no attempt to cover up in such matters but tha.t the charges would be made public and the stations themselves would be fully acquainted with them."

CLAIM ECONOMY IN NEW RCA RADI0TR0NS
The new battery type RCA Radiotrons, 230, 231 and 232, recently announced, will not only make possible superior battery opera/ced sets for the farmer and for portable use, but they are also exceedingly economical, according to officials of the corporation.
The a/vers-ge flashlight bulb draws 0.30 amps, at 2.5 volts, while the filament current consumption of each RCA Radiotron 230 or 232 is 0.06 amps, with two volts applied on the filament, it is claimed. Five RCA Radiotrons 230 or 232 may be operated with no greater current drain than there is on one ordinary flashlight bulb.
