Radio Wave Length Assignments Investigated
Muscatine July 1. Norman Baker of Muscatine, head of the American Broadcasters, charges that radio wave allocations favor big interests. He wired Senator Reed of Missouri to urge a congressional investigation of the Commerce Department's station assignments. He notes 466 stations crowd the 40 wavelengths below 280 meters while 105 stations owned by American Telegraph Company brands have 47 wavelengths. He argues chart smoothing and averaging six to eight stations per wavelength would reduce interference, and blames Secretary Hoover for the discrimination during his term.
