PLANS COMPLETED
FOR RADIO TESTS

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.--CR-After
negotiating for cooperation of land
radio stations, ships at sea and finally
even of rum runners, plans for the
international radio broadcasting tests
next week seem completed with an
nouncement of the London program.
The London program will include a
baritone singer and cornet solos. The
cornetist will be Charlie Leggett and
the baritone Clay Thomas. Both will
be accompanied by radio quartets.
Code signals from the rum runners
are now seen as the only likely flaw
in the testing conditions, the radio
week committee said today. Efforts
are being made, however, to reach
operators and ask them not to flash
code messages during the hours of the
test
