6/8/37 "In the light of this trend, a 500 kilowatt experi¬ mental broadcasting station has been established in the United States. Plans are also under way in Mexico for the establish¬ ment of a 500 kilowatt station. In China, in addition to a 75 kilowatt station at Nanking at present, a new 100 kilowatt station is projected at Peiping. In Manchoukuo, a 100 kilo¬ watt station has been opened at Hsinking. "In the light of these circumstances and to enhance the effectiveness of its broadcasting, Japan will soon real¬ ize the construction of a 150 kilowatt station in Tokyo, as well as others. With the spread of the radio as explained above, the development of the radio parts manufacturing industry is an aspect that merits attention. "The Hayakawa Industrial Co., Ltd., of Osaka is the most noted (in Japan) as makers of radio sets. Among the leading makers of radio parts are the Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd., of Osaka, the Hayakawa Industrial Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Densen Seizosho, Ltd. and others. " XXXXXXXX RIVER STEAMER AT CAPITAL LACKS SAFEGUARD OF RADIO An excursion steamer that carries many Washington notables on short trips over the Potomac River operates with¬ out the safeguard of a radio communication set although it has been in trouble twice already this season. The steamer, the Potomac , has its first trouble this year while carrying Vice President Garner and other not¬ ables to Quant ico, Va. , for the annual National Press Club outing. This week it broke down again with 350 Washingtonians on board. They were forced to spend IS hours on board while an engineer went ashore in a small boat and telephoned for aid. While recent amendments to the Federal law relating to safety at sea broaden the scope of the requirement for radio equipment on ships, they do not yet affect small river steamers such as those operating out of the National Capital. XXXXXXXX Denial of the applications of the Curtis Radiocasting Corp. , Indianapolis, and WKBV, Richmond, Ind. , for permits to use 1500 kc. specified and unlimited hours, respectively, was recommended to the Federal Communications Commission this week by Examiner Robert L. Irwin. XXXXXXXXX 9
