: BUSINESS LETTER NOTES :
Because spots on the sun are returning in great numbers, stations on the Pacific Coast or halfway across the continent which have. been coming in so clear all Winter, will shortly drop out of hearing, not to be heard again for seven or eight years with any such clarity as during the past Winter or two, declared Orestes H. Caldwell, former Federal Radio Commissioner speaking over WOR.
With the sun spots comes the outpouring of ultra-violet rays that break up the radio reflecting mirror, and make it a poor reflector of distant broadcasting stations. This means, Mr. Cald¬ well believes, that it will not be long before radio reception conditions return to the situation of "poor DX" which we had in 1928 and 1929, when long-distance broadcast receotion was at a minimum.
A new monthly fan magazine, RADIO, published in New York by the Tower group made its appearance March 1. Among the articles featured were "When President Roosevelt Broadcasts " , by Herbert Corey; an interview with Mrs. Byrd, mother of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, by Robert D. Heinl and program comments by Bing Crosby.
The magazine is handsomely printed and illustrated and carries considerable advertising. Copies are on sale at all F. W. Woolworth stores for 10 cents.
s<? successful have been the broadcasts of Elder Solomon Michaux, colored evangelist in Washington, over Station WJSV and theColumbia network, that he may soon hold a large revival meeting in Madison Square G-arden.
A favorable report may be expected soon from the House Merchant Marine and Radio Committee on the amendment to the Radio Act which would prevent programs originating here and sent to a foreign station being broadcast back into the United States. This was aimted at the Brinkly sta.tion, since closed down, but there are likewise other stations operating on the Mexican border which are sent across theRio Grande from this country.
Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, Chairman of the Board of the Radio Corporation of America and Newcomb Carlton, Chairman of the Board of the Western Union Telegraph Co. have accepted membership on the Gallatin Memorial Fund Committee in New York. The fund will be used to erect a statue of Albert Gallatin, Secreta.ry of the Treasury from 1801 to 1813, in Washington.

Continuation of Hygrade-Sylvania story from pa.ge 9
"The Radio Corporation licenses 'third persons acceptable to it' by a standard form, which provides for a royalty of 7-k per cent on the gross selling price of the article, it was charged, and lowers the royalty if the licensee uses parts purchased from R.C.A. R.C.A. has collected $7,000,000 annually from such royalties; each licensee must pay a minimum royalty of $100,000 a year andlicenses for manufacturing and sale of vacuum tubes is $50,000 a year, the answer asserted. Federal Court in Delaware restrainted *
these comoanies in 1932 from making agreements to restrict the
license freedom of any one of them, the answer said, and the Hy grade concern bad be en refuged a l n P ^ n E
