SAYS SALES WOULD GAIN BY POWER INCREASE
The granting of 50,000 watts power to each of the 28 applicants would greatly boost the sale of receivers, 0. H. Cald¬ well, former Radio Commissioner, contends in an article in the current '’Electronics" , of which he is editor.
"Only the Radio Commission, operating against the consen¬ sus of all engineering opinion, holds against this necessary and inevitable action", he asserts, "on account of political pressure from its Senate masters (who do not yet comprehend high power as an improved service to the rural and farm population."
The six benefits to be derived from higher power for stations on cleared channels are listed by Mr. Caldwell as follows:
Clear strong signals for millions now poorly served; open up vast new territories for receiver sales; improve summer reception everywhere; usher in $100,000,000 of waiting receiver sales; open up $10,000,000 business in broadcasting apparatus; restore employ¬ ment to 100,000 radio workers*

COLUMBIA MERGER WILL NOT AFFECT PRESENT CONTRACTS
Referring to the merger of the seven concert bureaus into the Columbia Concerts Corporation, the following statement was issued:
"Columbia regrets the misinterpretation that was placed on the merger by some newspapers, which inferred that all the artists managed by the Columbia Concerts Corporation were exclusively avail¬ able for broadcasting over the Columbia Network. This merger will not interfere with any present contractual arrangements, such as one now existing for Metropolitan stars, who will, however, from January 1 be booked by divisions of the Columbia Concerts Corpora¬ tion.

"LOS ANGELES" TO USE RADIO IN LANDING
The Navy Department has borrowed an idea from the commer¬ cial broadcasting chains and will experiment with it in facilitating the mooring of the dirigible "Los Angeles" at Lakehurst, N. J. The system is based on rebroadcasting apparatus used by the National Broadcasting Company and the Columbia Broadcasting System in cover¬ ing football games, track meets, and the like.
Should the system prove successful, it will be installed at all naval bases where dirigible mooring masts are located, viz. , in Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, on the Pacific Coast, and at McCook Field, Ohio. X X X X X X
