Should Be Based on Thorough
Investigation.

NEW YORK, December 9.-MaEor
James J. Walker yesterday said that
answers to charges by Representative
Gallivan of Massachusetts that the
mayor had been shadowed during his
recent visit to Paris by order of Shell
don Whitehouse, American charge,
should be predicated upon thorough
and complete investigation, rather
than upon partisan speeches.
Condolences. as j said before,
Mayor Walker said. will not permit
me TO discuss the matter in detail
but Representative Gallivan, with a
fine background of experience. pa
triotism and respect for Congress,
am sure. would never have made the
statements attributed to him without
knowing whereof he spoke.
$50 far as | am personally con
cerned. the incident is of little mo-
ment, but it should be n matter OF
grave Importance to the Federal Gov
ernment. so much SO that the answers
to Representative Gallivan Should be
predicated upon a thorough and com
plete investigation, rather than upon
partisan speeches."

SWIM
NEWS GIVEN BY

For the first time, as far as is
known, radio was relied upon ex-
clusively to bring news of world
Importance to large metropolitan
newspaper for publication, when an
Atwater Kent radio was used in
connection with the Catalina Island
channel swim.
Through the courtesy of Ray
Thomas, Southern California At
water Kent distributor, an Atwater
Kent one dial radio was set up in
the editorial rooms of one of Los
Angeles leading dailies, which used
the set to receive broadcastnews OF
the progress of the swim from
start to finish.
Reporters were kept constantly on
the job, tyrcwrit:ER the news as it
was received. One can readily real
izo what problem the editors We're
up against, when the noise of the
roaring presses and the clicking type
writer's to say nothing of telegraph
instruments nearby, had to be
drowned out by the radio speaker
and still retain clarity of tone 50

Another problem was the simple
ity Of operation. The set must be

it would continue to function with
out interference or further setting
of the dial. Also, it must be of
type that could be operated by any
one, regardless of his previous radio
experience, so that if accidentally
thrown off the proper station, it
could be instantly set back again
by the reporter on duty.
There was only one set on the
market which, in the opinions of
the editorial staff, could meet all
of these conditions, and that was
the Atwater Kent. When the swim
was over, the editors unanimously
declared the experiment a perfect
success and sent letter of apprec-
iation to Ray Thomas that was full
of enthusiastic praise for the one
