Around the Dial 13) (Continued from "Around the Dial": Last Saturday evening and Sunday morning, I heard four stations in the 1420 Kc. channel. They were all on the air at the same time. They were KXL, KFQW, KORE, and KFQU. They caused quite a howl, but at times you could separate them. A new 50,000-watt transmitter has been installed by WFAA, at Dallas, Texas. They were testing early Sunday morning. May 11, and they came in like any local station does. They announced as the first super-power station of the south, using 50,000 watts. I think any DXer should get them with no difficulty. GEORGE SCHMIDT, 1642 West 82nd Street, Los Angeles, Calif. The appointment of James W. Baldwin, of Indiana, Chief Clerk of the Justice Department, a lawyer, as Secretary of the Federal Radio Commission is unsual in that it was from a Civil Service list, apparently has no political angle, and evidently made on merit.
