Believes Radio Has

that radio telephony would never be
of any commercial value except for
broadcatsing and certain other limited
uses, was expressed today by F. L..
Rhodes, outside development engineer
of the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Company. at a hearing before
the Illinois commerce commission.
Rhodes was testifying regarding re-
search work done by his company to
justify payments made to it by the
Illinois Bell Telephone Company.
The radio acts as universal party
line, he said. Then, too, there are
certain static atmospheric conditions
in the northern hemisphere which in
terferes with radio telephony opera
tions for long periods of time.
''lf radio telephony had been in
vented first and some one had then
learned that it was possible to talk
over wires. it would have been hailed
as a great improvement"
