In selecting a circuit for a porta-
bic receiver many things must be
considered. The receiver must be
sturdily built to withstand the many
knocks which will be its portion.
It's wiring must be simple in order
to minimize the chances of trouble
developing through poor connections
and loose contacts. The parts used
must be light in weight and small
in size and the tuning elements must
be small enough to allow room
enough for the other parts OF the set.
Reflex circuits were eliminated as
far rs this particular set is con-
cerned. because of the extra weight
of parts and the intricacy of wiring
which they introduce. The circuit
which ] finally selected for this set
is the only tried and true regenera-
tive circuit. The only modification
have made is that instead of using
a rotor coil for the ticker coil 1 have
wound both the tuning coil and the
ticker coil on the same tube, and
placed the tuning condenser inside the
tube. The use of a fixed ticker coil
in place of the adjustable rotor one
decreases the efficiency of the circuit
to slight extent, but the gain in
compactness makes up for this loss
The use of this type of coil also makes
IT possible to mount the variable CON
deHSer inside the coil, thereby aiding
IN making the set still more compact.
The use of the condenser inside the
coil also introduces slight losses, but
these also are so small as to be
negligible. In the layout which ! will
give in tomorrow's article al the parts
used for the three-tube set are mount
all depth of the set from the very
back of the set to the tips of the con-
troll dialS is only five inches
In the diagram the symbols have
oeen numbered to correspond TO the
numbers given the parts on the panel
layout, which will be given tomorrow
Permits Close Tuning.
The common coil 5. used in both the
antenna and grid circuit, is used as an
uto-transformer or two-slider tuning
coil by means of the two switches 2
ano =. rms permits very close tuning
by providing means of adjusting the
constants of both aerial and grid cir
cults practically independently of each
other, feature which is not found in
lhe ordinary types of single circuit
regenerative receivers in which the
aerial is connected with the grid con-
denser end of the coil. and only one
switch is used. varying the number OF
turns in the grid and aerial circuit at
the same time
To save space and weight and to
simplify the wiring, jacks have been
omitted. In place of these binding
posts are used for the phone connec-
tions.
One phone terminal is connected
with binding post 19. The other phone
terminal is connected with binding

spectfvely. This arrangement does not
permit the primaries of the transform
ers to be disconnected from the plate
circuit of the detector Of the first
stage, but since most of the listening
will be done on the second stage this
arrangement is more of an advantage
than a disadvantage in that it elimi-
mates the sources of troubles present
when jacks are used.
One RheOstat Used.
A single rheostat is used for all
three tubes. In this set UV-Io9 tubes
are used and the rheostat provided
has 4 resistance of 12 ohms. If you
cannot get a 12-ohm rheostat, you
can use a 10 to Is ohm one. This type
of rheostat should only be employed
when all three tubes are to be used.
If you intend to use one or two tubes
at time you should use a rheostat
having a higher resistance, prefer
ably 25 to 80 ohmS.
A complete panel layout, detailed
explanations of the parts used and
step-by-step wiring directions will be
given tomorrow.

Personal Files of Contractor
Held by Court Order-Seek

BY the Associated Press,

by the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 1.-THE per-
sonal files of John w. Thompson, Chi
cago and ST. Louis contractor, de-
clared by the government to have an
important bearing upon the relations
between Thompson and Col. Charles
r. Forbes during the latter's admin
1stration of the Veterans Bureau,
were impounded yesterday by Fed
eral Judge George y. Carpenter in
answer to a petition in behalf of
Thompson that the papers be re-
turned to the contractor by the Depart
ment of Justice.
~indefensible" the method by which
he was advised by defense counsel
the papers had been secured. In
commenting upon the statement of
Randolph Laughlin, counsel for
Thompson, that the subpoena for the
files had been issued from the office
of the United States district attorney
here without an order of the court,
Judge Carpenter declared the prac-
tice of subpoenaing evidence for sub
mission to grand jury before the
impaneling of the jury would be
stopped in this court"
Seek to Delay Trial.
The petition was presented in con-
nectlon Win arguments on demur-
rers to joint indictments naming
Forbes and Thompson for conspiracy
to defraud the Government and con-
spiracy to commit bribery involving
public official.
Judge Carpenter advised counsel he
would rule on the demurrers Friday
1t is expected he will rule at the
same time on the defense petition for
poStponement of trial until after the
November elections. The basis of
this plea, the petition sets forth, was
the conviction that the So-called
~Veterans' Bureau scandal" had be-
come a national political issue, with
campaign speakers for three distinct
and opposing parties demanding con-
yiction of the defendants as a vindi-
cation of party policy.
Under such circumstances. the petit
tion asserted, an impartial jury trial
would be impossible, since each juror

Prejudice Charged.
Indictments against Forbes and
Thompson We're returned by a special
grand jury here in February. After
bill of exceptions and a plea for
dismissal by the defense. the case
was reopened before the regular
grand jury in June and new indict-
ments drawn. In both cases, the petit
ton for the return of Thompson files
alleged, the action of the grand jury
was based upon "a prejudicial pres
entation and an unwarranted and

Mr.. Thompson was denied the privi-
lege of appearing before the grand
jury. despite his insistent pleas that
he be permitted to present his own
documents and explain their meaning
to the grand jurors, the petition re-
cited.
The papers impounded today in
clude bank statements, personal
checks, letters and construction data
viewed by the Government as i'm
portant in establishing evidence of
conspiracy. The question as to the
admissability in evidence of the i'm
pounded files, Judge Carpenter ruled,
would be left for the trial Judge.
The defense petition had asked the
return of the documents to Thomp-
son.
