Chicago. May 13.-Elimination of the cracking and buzzing ac- companying radio signals. which has proved one of the greatest obstacles in the development of that science, has been accom- plished by United States army experts, 1t was announced today. The invention, which separates all static noises from the radio signal, was perfected by Maj, J. o. Mauborgne, signal officer Of the Sixth corps area. and Dr. Louis Cohen of George Wash ington university, consulting en- eineer of the war department, after more than two years ex- perimentation.
 The separation of signals from static noises caused by the cleo trical charges in the atmosphere, IS accomplished by a drain coil of wire, the length of which va ries with the distance from which signals are received. The strength of the signal Is not af- fected by the attachment.
 Another recent invention is a resonance waive coil by which a radio receiving set may be plugged into an ordinary electric light socket and radio received as we'll as with an aerial This in- vention, on which dozen pat ents are pending, was perfected by Mai Gen. George o. Squer. chief signal officer of the army.

Premier Lloyd George and M. Bar thou were in private conference for two hours this afternoon, apparently without reaching an agreement for solving the Anglo French deadlock on the plans to continue the discus sions of the Russian problem. The subcommittee on Russian affairs also met and argued for more than three hours without definite results.
 MT. Lloyd George will have a con- ference at his villa tomorrow morn- Ing with Baron Hayashi, NJ Barthou, M. Jaspar and Signor Schanzer, in an effort to reach a compromise.
 Progress Is Reported.
 After the meeting of the subcom- mission. Sir Edward Grigg, secretary to the British prime minister, said there had been progress. but gave no definite explanation of it's nature. The French and British delegations were asserted to be well on the road 10 an agreement. but nothing definite was reached. Accounts of the meet ing by members of other delegations, however, give little indication that a compromise is any nearer.
 Tho Russians have announced that they will not accept any plan ex- cluding them from the discussions. On one thing all the delegations agree, the inviting powers, the little entente, and the Baltic entente as well as the neutrals namely. that somehow the United States must be induced to participate in the mixed commissions.
 The French under secretary ot state informed the Associated press that he still felt confident of an accord. France Is still unwilling to have Russians sit with the mixed commission discussing Russian fin- ances, but suggestions have been

COMMITTEE WILL
 |NDORSE FORD BID,
 BUT WITH CHANGES
Fertilizer Guarantee and Elim- ination of Gorgas Plant Be- Iieyed Essential to Bids
 Acceptance
Ky HUGH W. ROBERTS Wsxhiugton Bureau. The Herald,
 kQc NayidsAn Huitahxm

Washington, May i3.-(Special.)-- Henry Ford may obtain possession of Muscle Shoals. The indications are that the House committee on military affairs will recommend that the Sec retary of War enter into contract with the Detroit manufacturer. But the secretary will be restricted to enter into the contract on certain terms.
 All of the terms cannot be learned. Two of them are known tonight. Ono is that the Gorgas s5,0o0.o0o steam plant. owned jointly by the govern ment and the Alabama. Power com pany, be eliminated from the list of properties that the government wtll turn over to Ford The other is that Ford be required to bind himself to produce a0,000 tons of nitrate per annum during the entire lease, whether at loss or profit, and to suffer the abrogation of other terms of the contract in the event he should fail to mako good regarding tho pro duction of the nitrate.
 Forty thousand tons of nitrate would mean fertilizer production of between two and three million tons per annum. If Ford accepts the con- ditions, he may acquire Muscle Shoals. In view Of the hesitancy dis played by Ford in amending his ori- ginal offer by the addition of posi- tive concessions unequiYocaily ex- pressed, the Idea obtains that he will not accept the terms He Is said to be determined to possess Gorgas and to be unwilling to produce for one hundred years an amount of fertilizer equal to half the total production in the United States todays The original Ford offer Is being amended by the house committee by a vote of il to 10 Ten members stand for the Ford offer as originally written.
 If the anti-Ford margin continues to make good, the terms offered Ford will not be acceptable to Ford. IL is indicated.
 While it Is daniteiy known that there will be no positive action reia- tive to the final disposition of Muscle Shoals until after the election tho coming fall. the idea grows that the government ownership and operation scheme of Senator Norris. chairman of the Senate committee on aericul- ture. will eventually prevail.
