These howls nd squeals are due part of the time to the close proximity of radiating regenerative receivers in the hands of inexperienced or wilful broad cast listeners. , These regenerative receivers are usually of the single circuit type and when improperly adjusted, act as miniature broadcasting stations and heterodyne or "beat" with the in coming signals. Not only do they beat with the broadcasting station signals, but alio with every other improperly adjusted radiating re generative receiver, thereby multi plying manifold the disturbance and discomfort of broadcast listeners. This great annoyance can only be eliminated by a campaign of educa tion whereby the sale of radiating regenerative receivers , h curbed, those in existence properly rebuilt sons to be unobjectionable, and by instructing the users of these objec tionable receivers as to the proper WAR ON BETWEEN MOVIES AND RADIO? x .a NOT SO PRISGILIA DEAN NOTICES IT i s.fHAOnrmn RtCEJVtS RECEIVERS method of adjusting the them.
