Hartford, Conn., Dec. 5 IIP) Radio pioneers have accomplish ed the first triple re-broadcast in history of the new "static less" frequency modulation broadcasting without the aid of telephone wires, leading today to a forecast by experts of a revolution in the industry with in ten years. All network programs at pres ent are carried to individual stations over telephone wires. The re-broadcast, described by specially invited guests in the studios of WDRC yesterday as "amazing," was run off in the presence of Maj r Edwin H. Armstrong, the inventor. "It is just the beginning in the start of chain broadcasting of frequency modulation," said the major at the conclusion of the program which was heart virtually without static, fadim or distortion. Goodbye Wires. A Younkers, N. Y., frequency modulated station, W2XCR. broadcast a program which war picked up by another similar type station, W2XMN, at Al pine, N. J. This station re broadcast the program, which, in turn was picked up by W1XPW, frequency modulated transmitter for WDRC at Meri den. W1XPW again re-broadcast the Yonkers program which was received at the WDRC studios. "In 10 years there won't be any orthodox brand of broad casting remaining except for the lowest grade of local service," said K. B. Warner, managing secretary of the American Radio Relay league. "I thought it was just tech nically unbelievable with three relays, yet the program was still better by far than the pres ent conventional system at its best." f I :-S : 1 7 i - -IK.

The council, guiding body of the league, was summoned di rectly by the league secretariat to meet next Saturday, and Eainon de Valera of Ireland, president of the assembly, was asked to issue a formal call to assembly members to meet two days later.
