10/3/41 The traffic jam confronting the NBC Chicago Spot Sales Department due to the fact that Chicago will remain on Daylight Time for another month while the rest of the country returns to Standard Time, has been solved without the loss of a single local account on stations WMAQ and WENR, an NBC bulletin states. Three additional programs in English, French and Dutch have been launched by KGEI, G-eneral Electric's 50-hilowatt short-wave station in San Francisco, for the benefit of listeners in Asia, the Antipodes and Africa. Chinese, both Cantonese and Mandarin, are used on the sta¬ tion's "Chinese Good Neighbor Hour", directed to Asia. KG-EI is said by G. E. to be the only U. S. station consistently heard in the Orient. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt now has 129 stations on her hook-up for Pan-American Coffee which ties her for the largest hook¬ up on NBC with the "Fibber McGee and Molly" program which also has 129 stations this season, Variety reports.
