SARN0FF SEES
SUPER POWER
RADIO
General Manager Of Corpora
ton Testifies at House
Hearing on White Bill.

David Sarnoff, vice president and
general manager Of the Radio Cor
poration Of America, testified before
the House Merchant Marine Com
mittee yesterday afternoon on the
White bill for regulation Of radio
communication. He suggested legis-
lation for the elimination of radiat-
ing receivers, plead for the con.
tihuation of the freedom of radio,
ana predicted powerful superstations
for the future.
Sarnoff stated that the Radio
Corporation is in sympathy with the
movement to eliminate radiating re-
ceivers, and proposed clause for
the bill making it unlawful to manu-
facture or sell such sets after June,
1925. or to use them after June,
1927.
In reference to the provision Of
the bill dealing with the power Of
the Secretary Of Commerce to
grant, refuse, ard revoke station
Licenses. Sarnoff recommended that
a provision be made allowing the
privilege of court review for those
whose property interest shall have
been effected" by any ruling in this.
connection.
Upon the inquiry Of Congressman
E. L. Davis Of Tennessee as to what
grounds the Government could base
a prohibition of radiating sets upon,
Sarnoff replied that every radiating
set transmits, and, therefore, can be
licensed by the Department of Com
merce.
The point was then made that
under that hypothesis the use but
not the manufacture OF the sets
could be regulated, and that it
would be a difficult proposition to
stop the use of the sets if they
could be manufactured freely.

The Brides" Are Doomed.

After Edwin Armstrong had ap-
peared at the House committee hear
ing and urged Congress to place
ban on regenerative receivers
we supposed that the matter would
be allowed to drop.
Yesterday David Sarnoff. vice
president and manager of the Radio
Corporation of America, after
making a number of recommends
tions which would be for the good
of radio, closed his argument be
fore the committee with a repetl'
ton of Armstrong; recommends
ton.
The brides" of regenerative sets
he said furnish the greatest obstacle
to radio reception at the present
time.
LET Congress make the regener'
tors Illegal"
There is, of course, still the
probability that Congress will not
be able to find a method by which
to abolish the squealer. But with
the public, the inventor and the
manufacturer hot on the trail OF
the regenerative sets, we venture
to predict that before snow flies
next winter most of the "birdies'
will have departed.

distorted reproduction.

rected against the set will act as a
sound broadside. causing the panel

the vacuum tubes; also shaking the
condenser plates, thereby disturbing
the tuning.

No Rack Talk From Mars.

Our hope that some day we might
be present at the sending Of a
radio communication to Mars and
might receive report of it's recep-
ton, has been given a severe jolt
by Capt. r. H. Ranger. whose stunt
at present is experimenting with the
logging of ships by radio.
There is little chance to send or
receive from Mars by radio. he says.
The earth, Captain Ranger told
us, is enveloped in a gas which acts
as an electric mirror surface and
is practically impervious to radio
waves.
This layer about the EARTH" he
added, known as the HeavYside
Layer, reduces the chances for hear.
ing. Marian signals as any such
transmitted from Mars will be
largely reflected from the outside of
any such surface. As a conducting
medium it would act as a Faraday
cage to keep out stray fields
The Radio Show and the Wash
ington appearance of Roxy and His
Gang" are just around the corner
in next week.
We become impatient. A few
more days and we will know for
sure whether radio is the bunk
or not.
