Mr.. Opsjon, a Norwegian sclen-

into the early Morse migrations for

Of early Morse explorers. Figures
Of men, birds and beasts he Las

astronomical scales in the same cor

to fix, to the month and day, when
they were recorded.

New York, Nov. 19.-Thirty-e eight
years ago W. w. Atterbury was a
young upstart just out of Sheffield
Scientific School Of Yale University.
He became machinist apprentice in
the shops of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road at Altoona.
Being only 20 and looking no older,
the men around the shop saw to it
that he had plenty of work to do.
That was in 1886. In three years
he was sent out as assistant road
foreman of engines. Four years
later and he was master mechanic at
Fort Wayne, Ind. Three years there
and he was appointed superintendent
of motive power of the entire sys-
tenn.
In 1903 he became general man.
ager Of the lines east of Pittsburgh.
Six years later he was fifth vice
president. Changes came quickly
after that until in 1912 his title be-
came Vice. President in Charge of
Operations. And next September
when President Rea automatically
retires at 20, w. W. Atterbury be-
comes president.

WORLDWIDE
RADIO MEET
is SOUGHT
BY ISRAEL KLEIN
NEA Service Radio Editor

Need of an International radio
conference was expressed time and
again during the sessions of the
Third National Radio Conference
held in Washington.
AS the conferees struggled through
a mass of controversial questions
il. their efforts to put national
broadcasting and other forms OF
radio transmission on systematic
basis, they realized the necessity Of
cooperation with all other govern
nIents in the same matter.
Elimination of ship spark inter
ference could not be discussed with
out reference to foreign ship prac-
tees. High power or trans Atlantic
broadcasting also required consid-
Grafton of foreign experience and
foreign cooperation.
Start Is Made
The result has been to stress the
Importance of worldwide confer
eEce with at least the largest coun-
tries of both hemispheres in the dis
cussiOns.
Last April preliminary radio
conference was held at Geneva anc
| from this call went to all inter.
ested countries for another 4nterna
tional meet, for the purpose Of iron
ing out some difficulties that have
arisen since the last conference al
| Washington in 1920.
Among the subjects to be taker
up at this meeting would be:
l. ALLEGATION of wavalength.
among amateurs, commercial sta.
tions, broadcasters, ships, and gov
eminent stations. These bands tt
be. universally recognized.
2. Redistribution of initial cal
letters among countries, especial,
those that have come into the con
ference since the last distribution
