8 RADIO DAILY Tuesday. December 13, 1949 FCC Holds Hearing On Multiple Fax (Continued from Page 1 ) low 15,000 cycles per second," that "the facsimile subcarrier used to modulate the radio carrier shall be 25,000 cycles per second," and that facsimile stations be allowed to operate on unlimited time. The standards now set up by the FCC requires that a facsimile does not degrade the sound below 10,000 cycles and limits broadcasts to one hour daily for facsimile stations and three hours for multiplex or systems sending facsimile and sound simultaneously. John V. L. Hogan testified that his company now has a system available meeting these higher standards. He also said that it was now possible to broadcast T-V, A-M, and facsimile simultaneously. Commissioner Jones asked about the cost of converting present receivers to the new multiplex system and Hogan replied that it would cost about four or five dollars to convert existing sets and less for new ones. No other petitions for an appearance were presented to the FCC, but William Halstead, an independent consulting engineer, was allowed to testify. He explained experiments conducted for the Rural Radio Network on a system involving the use of FM for both the facsimile and aural broadcasts. The Hogan system uses FM and AM. Jones held the record open for ten days to allow both Hogan and Halstead to present further exhibits. A series of experiments were conducted by the laboratories to display their system. The first involved sending facsimile within the room at the laboratories headquarters. The second test was sent from Columbia University through Major Armstrong's Alpine station, KE2XCC. One of the items was a congratulatory message from Columbia's Dean Ackerman. Harry Plotkin, FCC counsel, John Willoughby, chief engineer for the Commission, and Cyril M. Braum, chief of the FM broadcast division for the FCC were also present. Elliott Crooks, v-p in charge of broadcast facsimile for Hogan Laboratories, said after the hearing that the multiplex system has been tested and found successful. He added that one program of facsimile in New York would "break the dam" and start widespread use of facsimile in public places. The new system which does not require FM broadcasters to stop aural programs when sending facsimile, make it practical, Crooks said. Will Aid Foundation Robert Q. Lewis, Abe Burrows, Herb Shriner, Janette Davis, and Art Waner's Orchestra will be featured in a special comedy, song and variety half -hour program over CBS Dec. 18, to aid the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation.

NARBA Conference Adjourns For 4-Mos. (Continued from Page 1) was to draft a new treaty to replace the Havana (1937) Agreement which expired in March, 1949. At the time of the 1937 agreement, the conference had to concern itself with the allocation of frequencies for a little more than 2,000 broadcasting stations. At the time of the Washington Conference in 1946, which extended the original Havana Agreement for a three-year period under an interim agreement, the number of broadcasting stations had risen considerably and today they total 2,964. The countries concerned with the 107 frequencies are Canada, United States, Cuba, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, The Bahamas and Jamaica. The recess will give the United States and Cuban delegations a chance to discuss the channel differences between the two countries and these discussions will get under way in Havana early in February. It is hoped that these meetings will produce a basis for final negotiations when the NARBA meeting is resumed in April. Motor Boat Show Plans N. Y.
