learned from reliable sources.
Morse is at present at liberty under

! WASHINGTON, Feb. 2T.--The fin
national radio conference ever held in
this country. which got under way at
Secretary Hoovcr's office in the Com
mcIrc building to-day, developed tho
amazing fact that somewhere between
COO, 600 and 900, 900 persons In the
United States are in possession of
wireless telephone receiving SETS
Five months ago there were less than
so, 900 sets American boys are taking
u keen interest in this new develop
ment and radio instruments i'll the
hands Of youngsters arc becoming as
numerous as marbles in spring The
universal interest In the radio makes
regulation absolutely necessary, Mir
Hoover said in his opening address
to the assembled delegates.
Nj Hoover said the conference
should work out wave length sched
lilcs for districts instead of individuals
and allocate certain times of days
when the air may be used by various
wireless phone agencies,
II think that it will be agreed at
the outset" he said THAT the use Of
the radio telephone for communica-
ton between single individuals, as in
the case of the ordinary telephone, is
a perfectly hopeless notion. Obviously,
il 10, 900, 900 telephone subscribers are
crying through the air for their mates
they viii never make "a junction. The
ether will be filed with frantic chaos.
with no communication of any kind
possible.
In other words. the wireless tele-
phone has one definite field. and that
is for the spread of certain pre-
determined material of public interest
from central stations. This material
must be limited to news, TO education,
to entertainment, and the COmmun-
cation of such commercial matters as
are Of Importance to large groups OF
the community at the time.
While the Washington conference
is the beginning of atricter Govern

his prime objects in putting the new
