BRING OUT Composers in United States ' Got Busy With Excel lent Results The European war and the de velopment of radio have brought about a new "declaration of inde pendence" in America, according to Sigmund Romberg, composer of ' The Staudect Prince," "The Desert Song" -and other popular light operas, who will be heard on the air for the first time In the Chevrolet hour of the General Mo tors Family Party on Monday eve nine. March IP- "Prior to 1914." says Romberg, "most of the musical shows pro duced in this country were brought over from Vienna. When war was declared it became diffi cult to continue using European compositions, so composers In the United States began to assert themselves and now radio has made, their songs known through out the country. As a conse quence. America today leads the world in. musical productions. ' The only reason we do not send more American-made light operas to Germany and Hungary Is that they can t afford to pay for them. The English take all shows we give them. Very few musical shows are produced in England or Europe now because most of their bet composers are -working in this country."

So much so Chat he has made that claim for the wedded atari, citing John McCennack, Schuraann-Heink, Chaliapin and others to prove his point. Friends of. Mary Garden, foremost ameng the unmarried start, have eosae forward to relate Johnson's remark a musical school but took lessons casually from private 'teachers' and did not become a professional until he came to America nearly twenty years ago. Since then he has become one of the foremost modern composers. His first of ferings were of the popular song bit type, and were found in "The Whirl of tho World" at the Win ter Garden, whjch he wrote in 1913, and in "The Passing Show of 1914." for which he also com posed the music. He was one of the first musicians to evolve the "revue" type of entertainment. In later years he has achieved un usual dlstincting in the field of ligilt opeera with Blue Paradise, Maytime. Girl From Brazil, Her Soldier Boy, Sinbad, Music Mel ody, Bombo. Desert Song. Blos som Time. Student Prince, Prin cess Flavla, My Maryland, Love Song and Rosalie.

STATUS ASKED Considerable Aid to Flying Would Be Done by Cor rect Marking WASHINGTON (AP) To elim inate a serious hazard to aviation which is developing rapidly in commercial centers, the Federal Radio Commission may find it necessary to order 'owners of broadcasting stations to mark their towers in order to increase the visibility to fliers. Areonautlcal experts of the Army, Navy and Commerce depart ments have approved methods of marking air navigation obstruc tlons such as radio masts, trans mission towers -and flag poles in the immediate vicinity of an air port, intermediate landing field or civil airway. Three methods of painting are recommended: For the maximum desired visibility, towers less than 250 feet in heigth should be paint ed alternate bands of white and chrome yellow separated by black bands one half the width of the white and chrome yellow bands. As an alternative, the towers could be painted with bands of chrome yellow and black. As an other alternative, the towers could be painted with bands of black and white or black and alunium. From sunset to sunrise, the towers should be marked with red lights, making 80 to 120 flashes a min ute. In order to afford adequate protection to aircraft, the expert recommended that lights of higher candle power be used on major obstructions in the vicinity of landing fields. Additional fixed red lights using 50 watt lamps are suggested for radio towers, one being placed at two-thirds of the height and one at one-third of the height of the tower. These lights would be ar ranged so as to be visible from any angle of approach. O- i -o 1 LISTEN IN sxnroAT Koumra 13:00 0:00 KXL (.120). 81ep Wrck- r. S.-S0- :80 KGW (491).

Batterf letd Anocialod Frou Radio ESitor) NEW YORK (AP) An inter esting world of dots and dashes awaits the radio fan familiar with the code used in radio telegraphy. Particularly is this the case un der 200 meters, where will be found thousands of amateurs "talking" to each other and others services nslng short waves. To learn what is taking place a cer tain amount of study and patience is necessry. Radio telegraph transmission is by Continental or International Morse code, which is somewhat simpler than the Morse code used In wire telegraphy. It consists of groups of dots and dashes so ar- a regions are not receiving good service and his chief problem is to improve conditions there, Mr. La fount says. Heterodynes between powerful stations in the middle west and east and the lower powered sta tions on the Pacific coast cause serious Interference in the moun tain states. Mr. larount is op posed to stations having as great power as 50.000 watts because their signals Interfere and drown out some ot the good smaller sta tions. The new setup was the first ma jor undertaking of Commissioner Lafount since taking office a few months ago' and the first import ant change in the far west alloca tions since his predecessor. Col - onel John F. Dill was strlrken with a fatal Illness last summer. Most of the changes were time di visions between neighboring sta tions. One Miami County farmer is saving up a load ot tin cans, bot tles, picnic plates, paper sacks, etc., which he will take to Kan sas City and scatter over the bou levard, thus returning property to the rightful owners.
