Peddlers Arrested For Law Violation Should Kugene desire a radio broadcaHting ntntion it will probubly be a long time before any wave length can be flung nod by the United States department of commerce to the local station, according to word received by Robert F. Callahan, secretary of the Kugene Radio club, from 1. B. Carson, I'nited States ratlin coiniuia stoner nt Washington, I. C. "Tho bureau considers it advis able," said Mr. Carson, "that you be informed thnt all of the wave lengths In the Class A and Class B band have been assigned, and that should j Kugene erect n station no assurance can be given that a wnvo length for Uh operation can be provided." So many broadcasting stations nro now "on tho air," that tho govern ment la up against a hard problem to provide wave lengths for them all. Mr. Callahan explains. There are now fillCt broadcasting Kin lions in the coun try. Of these are called Class A small stations with a probable rad ius nf ft) miles, and of the class In which Kugene would wish to operate. Clnss A stations may operate with 0(H) watts power or less. The Class H stations number have more than 500 watts power, and a wide radius. The difficulty is how to prevent in terference between stations. 'There nro in all M( different wave IcukHih avnilnbln so long as stations ara kept 10 kilocycles npnrt and an long ns tho assignment of nave lengths is staggered geographically, preventing overlap in the area of effective re ception. All the wavo lengths have now heen assigned. This is one of the hardest problems the department of commerce has had tr deal with, says Mr. t'allnhan. and until some sort of solution ia worked out Kiigr may as well gif up hopes of having a broadcasting station. Many in Camp are j In Search of Work , Although the mi in vanguard of the j motor tourists have not yet come in-! to Oregon there are many parties go-' iug through and the majority now j seem to be in search of employment for tho summer, according to Melvin Hansen, proprietor of the Hansen Auto camp on the highway south of the city. "There seems to be a gen- j ernl lack of information among many; of these travelers in regard to work in various districts. Those coming from the north report work plentiful j there and that draws many that way. j From the south others report condi- j tions good in that direction and that semis ninny on the road toward Cali fornia. In many cases th works a j in hopes of landing something better, where there is a reported 'boom' un dvr way," Mr, Hansen said. Many of those who follow the build-, ing trades have been attracted to Ku gene by tales of their fellow travelers on the road who report big activity here in the wny of construction, the cump owner state.
