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."

YOUTH CONGRESS FREE
FROM SOVIET CONTROL
Washington, Dec. 5. (fP)
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt told
reporters Monday she had inves

Congress long before the Dies

indicate any outside control."
Witnesses before the Dies
Geneva, Dec. 5. lP) The
League of Nations, which had
been settling down to play Rip
Van Winkle through Europe's
war, stirred busily today with
Finland's demand for action on
the Soviet Russia-Finnish con
flict. 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.
Finland, invoking the league's
seldom-used machinery for set
tling international disputes, de
manded "necessary measure to
put an end to this aggression."
Russia is a league member.
When war broke out between
the British-French allies and
Germany Sept. 3, League lead
ers agreed their role should be
an inactive one, so far as politi
cal matters were concerned.
Since September, league em
ployes missed by the economy
axe have devoted their princi
pal attention to lectures on how
to act during air raids.
