/ Advices from abroad received by Richard H. Waldo, President of the. McClure Newspaper Syndicate of New York, are that the French have about completed the development of a television set which they believe is ahead of anything yet devised and which when revealed will make the entire world sit up and take notice. In an editorial on the probable thinning out of broadcast¬ ing stations that will result from the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals, of Chicago, denying that broadcasters have vested rights in the air, the Washington Post said: "The best interests of the public can be served by licens¬ ing a limited number of good stations even though many interests desirous of broadcasting may be denied the privilege. ... Wave lengths ought to be used in the interest of radio audiences and not to accommodate individual broadcasters. " Fire swept the transmission rooms and studios of Radio Station WFIW, at Hopkinsville, Ky. , Tuesday morning, paralyzing the station and causing a loss estimated at over $50,000. Plug Anderson, director-announcer, expressed the belief the station had been robbed and burned. Plans for several of the Rockefeller Radio City buildings in New York are expected to be ready by the end of the week for presentation to constractors for bids. It was learned that no further consideration will be given for inclusion in the develop¬ ment of an oval building on Fifth Avenue, such as was shown on the first architectural models, and which provoked widespread dis¬ cussion. In plans for the first buildings, filed last April, the oval was omitted, but it was reported that further discussion of the type of structure was contemplated. It appears likely now that the twin structures which will replace it will be about twelve stories in height, connected by an arcade.
