That there is an interest in Mexican broadcasts even in this country is indicated in numerous requests for informa¬ tion received by the Radio Commission. One inquirer, in fact, asks that the United States stations be cut off 780 kilocycles, so that XEW could be heard more clearly in this country. "The music of this Mexican station is often quite different from that we are wont to hear from our own stat ions" , he said. x x x x x x x FRAUD ORDER BANS "VEST POCKET RADIO". The Post Office Department has issued a fraud order against the sale of so-called "vest pocket radios" through the mails by the "World Service Company", of Brooklyn, N.Y. , which was found to be merely Edward Rasche, a former vaudeville actor. Advertisements had been appearing in Mexican newspapers, it was charged, of a device priced at $5. Upon in¬ vestigation, the small receiver was found to be practically worth¬ less, according to the report of Horace J. Donnelly, solicitor of the Post Office Department. The report stated that on the day the fraud order was issued the concern was receiving on the average of 30 letters a day. x x x x x x x 25,000 WATTS FAVORED FOR KFAB. Chief Examiner Ellis A. Yost, in a report on the application of KFAB, Lincoln, Nebr., recommends an increase in power from 5,000 to 25,000 watts, but would deny the station full time on the 770 kilocycle channel, which it now shares with WBBM, Chicago. The station is financially able to operate a 25,000-watt transmitter, the report holds, but public interest "would not be served" by granting full time. KFAB has threesevenths time on the channel.
