FROM WITHHOLDING
NAVY 0FF|CER'SPAY
Justice HoehIing Rules Con-

Holds Deductions Illegal.

Justice HoehliEg Of the District Su-
preme. Court today decided that J.
Raymond McCarl, controller of the
United States has no authority or
right to withhold any portion of the
pay Of naval officers to offset the sup
posed claim of the Government for
dlsallowed payments. Congress Axes
the salary OF the officers, the court
declares. and neither the accounting
officer nor the controller may with
hold any portion of It.
Speaking of the action Of the con-
troller general In first Withholding all
pay Of officers from whom he claimed
allowances should be deducted. and
then conceding. at the request of Sec
retary Wilbur, to retaining only 20
per cent of the pay, Justice Hoehling
says: The asserted authority is con-
trary to the principles of decisions
laid down by the United States Su-
preme Court. The fact that there ap-
pears to be such seeming unanim-
ity of decision concerning the matter
might well serve a court to entertain
a reasonable doubt as to the legal
soundness or correctness of an opln-
Ion reached in opposition thereto"

The matter out of which this con-
troversy arose, declares the justice.
was one for judicial decision rather
than administration, and in this case
furnished no legal excuse for with
holding the salary of the officer that
he is entitled to "in the usual Gus
tomary manner as officers in the
Navy are paid"
The suit decided today was test.
it is understood. and was brought
by Lieut. Comdr. John F. Cox against
McCarl. Secretary Wilbur
and Benjamin Lankfort, dispensing
officer.
McCarl in his answer denied the
right of the court to review his
action and also declared that the
mother of tn. officer for whom he
had drawn allowances was not de-
pendent upon him for support. Secre-
tary Wilbur, in his answer, denied
that McCarl had the right to with
hold or check pay OF officers, but
said he had ordered the withhold
ing of 20 per cent as a compromise
and to enable officers to get enough
pay to meet obligations. Attorneys
Cox and Sherrier appeared for the

RADIO TRANSMITS
PICTURES OVER SEA
Flashing Photos Through Air
Becomes Practical After
Severe Test.
By the Assoc in ted Press.

by the hsSoSlated Press.
NEW YORK, December Trans
Atlantic transmission OF photographs
by radio is reality
Portraits of President Coolidge,
Premier Stanley Baldwin, the Prince
of Wales and Owen D. Young were
among those dispatched by wireless
from London yesterday during a
public test conducted by the Radio
Corporation of America. In it's offices
here, a juggling stylus drew these
pictures on an oscillating cylinder
and 20 minutes after each original
had been put on the air in London,
it was reproduced in New York. Off,
cials of the company say that the
invention, an all-American instru-
ment by which not only pictures but
printed messages may be transmitted,
Is a complete success.
Needs Little Refinement.
The device was developed by c. Fl.
Taylor, chief engineer of the radio
corporation; e. F. w. AleXanderson,
consulting engineer, and r. H.
Ranger, directing engineer. With but
little refinement, they explained, their
process will be available for trans
Atlantic transportation of news pic
lures, secret business messages,
diplomatic correspondence and identi-
fication photographs of criminals for
police purposes.
The cost of transmission Of pic
ture Is between $40 and $40. This
computation Is based on the number
of words that could be sent at toll
rates during the 80 minutes required
for the dispatch of a picture. 1t IS
expected, however, that the sending
time will be reduced considerably in
the near future.
Reproduction OF Dots.
The system of. transmission is much
like that employed<by the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. months
ago when 1T sent photographs from
Cleveland to New York by land wire.
There Is this difference, however-the
American Telephone e. Telegraph Co.
process reproduces picture which
parallels shade lines, while the radio
pictures are made up of thousands OF
dots placed in parallels.
The first is the product of. a con-
tinuous electric current fluctuating
under control; the second the product
of a series of distinct impulses. In
ventors of the latter process said they
found 1t impossible to control a con-
tinuous current in radio transmission
because of static interference.
The first photo radiograms, as they
are called, were sent months ago
by wire from New York to the radio
transmitting station at .Tuckerton. N.
J., thence by air 238 miles to the re-
ceivinK station at River Head, Long
Island. and thence again by wire to
New York.
When those transmissions proved
successful, photographs were trans
mitted by radio to England and res
turn. They could not be received in
England, because there was no ap-
paratus there, so the radio impulses
