WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. = A
charge that the high commands Of
the army and navy have retarded
aviation development, concurrence
in many of the criticisms voiced by
Colonel William Mitchell and recon-
mendation for a single department.
Of national defense, are the salient
features Of, the report Of the house
aircraft committee as drafted, the
United Press learned today.
The committee will forward its
findings and recommendations to
the clerk of the house within
week, about the same time the
Morrow board report is submitted
to the president.
Support Defense Plan
Besides obtaining approval of his
proposal for a merger of the nation
al defense organizations, Mitchell
also will receive the committees g
whole hearted support for his
charge that the nation is without
adequate defense system. In rec
ommending commission of the de-
Tense departments, the committee
will not go all the way with Mitchell
by urging the establishment of
separate air service. The commit
tee will recommend q unified serv-
ice for procurement only and re-
frain from discussing the organiza-
ton of the proposed department.
The committee will disagree with
testimony by high ranking officers
that the United States is on par
ity with other nations in air
strength and that lack of funds has
caused inadequacies that may exist.
In relative air standing the United
States will be ranked not higher
than third nor lower than fifth. Of
ficial figures will be cited to show
that only ten percent of expendi-
lures during the last five years
have gone toward new and remod-
eled planes.
Bristles With Criticisms
The report will bristle with crit
icisms of the high commands for
their lack of recognition of air
power and charge that the army and
navy have been backward in rsaliz-

RADIO QUERIES

Radio Editor:
As one of the numerous amateurs
In Washington / feel that it behooyes
mo to assist in the general denial Of
amateur QRM interference which [
am sure viii be forthcoming from Mr..
!. i. Gassins letter in Mondays Star.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Gassin and other
broadcast listeners do know what
noise sounds like and may I
assure him, as one who is able to
read code, they are not hearing code.
Does Nj Gasstn know the difference
between code snd the noise a street
car makes in passing, or the noise
some electrical appliances create? ?
There are hundreds of possible
causes Of interference besides that
OF code. Furthermore, if it were
code, why blame the amateur?
The amateurs are not, as Mr.. Gas
sin seems To believe, bows who are
passing their time by means of radio.
Many amateur operators are men. and
the average amateur is almost as
good as the average commercial oper-
atUr.
As to Mr.. Gassin's suggestion that
amateurs listen for interference and
give the results to the radio editor.
! have a specially built broadcast re-
ceiver for that purpose. SO far. l have
yet to experience any interference
whatsoever outside of that caused by
harmonics from MSS and NAA and To-
cal radating receivers.
As Mr., Gassin did not experience
any QRM last year it is evident that
the cause of the Interference could
easily be attributed to power leaks
and things on that order.
In closing may l say that the ANA
teur is not out to get himself "in
bad with the broadcast listener but,
on the contrary. is glad to do all he
can to assist the B. G. l.. who eXpe-
riences trouble or QRM | should
also like to ask that when reports of
interference are given through The
star the name and address of the re-
porter be given, so that the source of
QRM may be more easily found. Best
wishes for better understanding
between the amateur and the broad

Tightening the coupling increases the

the coupling decreases the numerical
value Of the coupling CO. efficient, k.

The two frequencies are one above
and one below the natural or funda-
mental frequency. If we take FL as
the higher frequency and F2 as the
one of lower frequency we have the
Following relations for the values of

you can easily see from the
formulae that as X increases, due

coupling which would be one of unity

the square root sign becomes small
er and smaller, so that when + is
divided by the fraction the result for
FL would be many times f. In other
words, the greater degree of coupling

removed f Will be from frequency FL
The Ideal Condition.
BY the same method 1t will he
round that the fraction under the
square root sign in formula . will
get larger than unity or one as
the coupling is increased. so tina,

respect to r.
Conversely as tho co,,nl;ro i
loosened. the value under the square
root sign in formula approaches
unity and FL approaches +, while. in
formula 2. as the coefficient of coup
ing decreases the value under the
square root sign approaches unity
and F2 approaches +.
The ideal condition is realized when
the coupling is zero and both FL and
F2 become equal to f or the naturaI
frequency.
That is the reason why maximum
selectiVlty Is obtained when the
coupling between the circuits is a,
a minimum.

two frequences beside the funda-
mental frequency
1t is also found that the frequencies
which are set up are dependent on
the fundamental frequency and on
the degree of coupling between the
two circuits.
We will call the fundamental or
natural frequency f and the other
frequencies FL and F2. The coupling
co-efficient of two circuits is desig-
mated by small letter k. This guam
tity is the ratio formed by dividing
the mutual reactance of the two cir
cults by the square root of the
product of the separate reactances of
each individual circuit.
Since the coupling CO. efficient is
dependent on the mutual reactance
of the two circuits, and since, in
turn, the mutual reactance is de-
pendent on the degree of closeness or
looseness OF coupling of the two
circuits, the coupling co-eficient Will
vary with the degree TO which the
