'HUCGER' IS ARRESTED
ON WOMAN'S CHARGES

PHILADELPHIA. March 90
Sought by the West Philadelphia
police for annoying women with his
attentions, an alleged Jack the
Hugger' was held in 81 800 ball for
court by Magistrate Pennock at
central police court, following
Identification by two of his victims.
The prisoner gave his name as FL

Of Twelfth street near Norris.
The arrest Of Allen was due to
Mrs. Mark III. Ringer, wife of a

RADIO NOT To
USE LOWER
WAVE
Commerce Officials Dispel
Fear-Receiving Sets Would
Be Discarded
By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH,

BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH.
Fear that the increasing employ.
ment of extremely low-wave lengths
in radio communication eventually
will send present type commercial
receiving sets into the discavd
were dispelled today by experts at
the United States Bureau OF
Standards.
Although Secretary of Commerce
Hoover allocated a band of wave
lengths below one. meter to ANA.
tours and experimenters. indicating
the popularity of those channels,
experts declared that for many
years, at least. general broadcasting
will be conducted between 200 ana
600 meters. within the range of
commercial sets.
G. Francis Jenkins, who has de-.
veloped a device for broadcastlng
moving pictures, predicted that
court action would follow any gen.
'eral effort on the part Of broad.
casters to abandon wave lengths
within the range of ordinary receiv.
ing sets. The commercial value of
receiving sets now in operation in
this country Is estimated at over
$3.50, 900 900. sn.
Owners Would Object.
Undoubtedly, If an effort were
made by big broadcasting stations
to go down to the low.wave lengths
owners OF the millions Of sets in
this country would rise in arms, .
Jenkins said.
He added, however, that big
broadcasting stations soon will be
transmitting on both high and low
wave channels. KDKA of Pitts
burgh recently transmitted a pro-
gram to Australia where 1t was
picked up and re-broadcast on
higher wave lengths.
Bureau of Standards experts said
1t would not be practical TO ma
terially reduce the wave length ca
pacity Of receiving sets now in use.
They also doubted the practicabiIity
Of general broadcasting on extreme
ly low wave lengths, explaining the
radical changes necessary in re-
ceiving sets that would be required
to catch the high frequencies.
Investigations have disclosed that
the low-wave lengths have a mate
rally greater range in daylight, in
contrast to the greater carrying
power Of the high length at night.
Officials declared this popularity
will further open up the use Of
radio for commercial uses by en-
ployment of the high frequencies.
Possibility OF ALLEGATION of low
wave lengths to radio code stations,
ships and many other stations
whose employment is special or sci
entifiic was seen by Department of
Commerce officials as soon as more
progress is made in development
Of the high frequency channels. Re-
moval Of these stations from the
band between 200 and 600 meters
will lift a considerable portion of
the interference load.
