TON TRIP TO MANY
POINTS IN STATE

Lieut.. Stark Warner. who has
just returned from an inspection
trip of radios in Orlando, Winter
Park and other cities in Florida,
gave q talk over Station w. d. B.
o. at Winter Park.
During an interview for the
press in Orlando. he explained
that at Key West there is a four
hour silent period, Z to IL b. M,
authorized By the navy depart
ment and maintained in order to
assure broadcast listeners the best
possible reception during the
usual broadcasting hours. During
this time only s. o. s. calls and
emergency traffic is handled.
In his talk to the radio fans,
Lieutenant Warner said:
There exists at the present
time considerable difficulty in
broadcast reception, much Of
which is due to the assigning TO
so many broadcast stations the
comparatiyelv limited number of
wave lengths available. Much ef-
fort has been and is being made
in an endeavor to arrive II
satisfactory solution of this SEEM

John P Babcock, Chairman of Com mission Informs Gateway of Com ing Seasons Activities-Work Will Be Carried on Over Longer Period Than Last Year.

John P. Babcock, chairman of the International Fisheries Commission, announces in a special letter to The Gateway that the halibut fishing yes sel Scandia, has been chartered for the purpose of carrying on halibut tagging operations during the present season.
 Tn the present condition of fish cries science" Mr. BaIbcock says in his letter, there is no foreknowledge as to what the character of the re- suits from any given fishery regula- tion will be. The present halibut

Will Tau Fish

The purpose Of the work that will be conducted on the Scandia-" AIr. Baibcock stated, -are to carry on tag ging operations inaugurated last year; to supplement and complete our biological survey of the fishing banks as regards rates of growth and sizes existent; to carry on rae ial studies by means of measure ments; and to test the efficiency of fine and coarse gear
 ''The tagging last year was very successful and demonstrated several ways in which the work or the com mission can be advanced. The type of tag used this year vii be the strap tag, most successful las1 year II is used by the United States Bureau of Fisheries in it's cod investigation in the Atlantic, but the director. Nr. Thompson, will experiment with two or three other types. The localities chosen to tag fish will be those ire quented by the fleet 4 particular will be made to tag of yaka1aga during the fall congestion Of spawn ing halibut there. Later the Scandia will fish of Cape St. Elias and the Shumagin Islands.
 ITO complete our study Of rates of growth, etc, operations will be carried on first in southern waters and later in the more northern and western waters not reached by the director last year. The material gathered for this purpose should be as valuable, if not more So, than that produced by tagging
 'Being able to carry on operations over a longer period than last year will permit of the gathering Of splen- did material for racial studies, such as are dependent on body measure ment. The material already OF hand indicates the existence of differences between fish from different areas.
 Will Fish Too
 Fishing will be done by means of fine and heavy gear, and large and small hooks. As a result of ex- tensive questionnaires circulated am ong halIbut vessel captains, it re- mains in question whether it is the small hooks which are destructive, or the finer lines used with them. Some question also arises as to the 1nely-cut bait as compared to whole bait, such as herring. Many cap- tains assign the efficiencv of fine gear entirely to the smaller bait used Upon the results Of these experiments will depend the provisions of any regulations restricting the use of fine gear and small hooks.
 "As is manifest, the staff neces- sary to cary out such investigations must be the largest the commission can muster. The Scandia is in real
