WELLS VIEWS ON
 RADIO ATTACKED
British Theory Criticized by
 American Expert

Syracuse, N. Y. April cS P- Rather than being a limited service already declining in public interest as charged recently by II. c. Wells, British writer and publicist, radio was characterized today by David Sarnoff, vice president and general Of the Radio Corporation Of Amer ica, as q growing science which Is consistently opening new fields Of conquest.
 Speaking before the faculty and students of Syracuse university, MT Sarnoff declared it Is difficult 10 understand how mind brilliant enough to foresee so many modern inventions could have reached such extraordinary conclusions about ra- dio.
 "Mr. Wells levels the shafts 0, his criticism primarily upon the British hroadcastiug system," said Mr. Sar- noH Perhaps it would not be with in the province Of any American 10 comment upon his views were 1t not for his practically wholesale con- demnation ot hroadcasting general ly. He limits the possible uses Of broadcasting to the sick. to the lone ly and to the suffering'
 Pointing out that Mir. Wells has overlooked or ignored. the fact that and America. have reached millions Of listeners by radio during the past six months, Mir. Sarnoft challenged the English writer 10 name any other medium Of communication through which so much educational service could have been rendered. Broadcasting cannot hope, he said, 10 thrill the intellectually over'ed or the spiritually faded. but 1t can and does fill splendid destiny !n the field o' mass entertainment and eii- fcation.
 At present said Mfr Sarnotf. radio ls making great technical progress. Is developing n net work or broad casting systems, is making remark able strides in the synchronizatlon Of sound and light and Is being de- yeloped to such an extent that the time consumed in transmitting an image or a picture has been reduced from 30 minutes 10 30 seconds.
 While a hroa dcasttng service that will eventually bring London. Paris or Berlin 10 millions of American homes, for trans oceanic broadcast ing Is inevitable, the greater service of radio, he said. is still before, and not behind"

snts dig up a few fat morsels Of fatuousness
as exhibited by this or that department OF
the department of the department, etc" but
The taxpayer travels mostly on hopes that
|everything's lovely on the Potomac.
Once in blue moon. however, a man of Rear
Admiral Thomas F. Magruders stamp blazes
out with broadside at waste, politics, ineffi-
|ciency and other faults, and it proves to be
mamma for the taxpayers to eat.
The admiral wrote an article for the Satur-
day Evening Post, entitled '"The Navy and
Economy" He charges that the navy is great
~ over-organized; that rehabilitation after
the war never was consummated; that waste
full methods still hang over as relic Of war
time administration; that several of the navy
yards and stations are superfluous, and that
certain ships, unfit for war service, are kept
running at heavy expense.
Borah wishes there were more Magruders. =
Certain Of Magruder's superiors are all for

The Parade of the $4,000

You have parked your automobile at the
side of the street and are waiting for the
parade. There are to be $4,000 people in the
parade men, women and children. 1t will take
several hours for them to pass. but YOU like to
watch people, so YOU settle back to watch it.
First come band of men. several thousand.
Some of them carry dinner pals, others have
white collars, some are young some middle
aged, others very feeble and DID,
Next come hosts Of women. young. middle
aged, old. There are some beautiful; some
withered, lame, partly blind. Half an hour
passes. They have marched on.
Lastly, children, their faces full of hope and
promise. Bright, laughng-eyed little boys and
girls, playing, testing, singing as they march.
Of these there are thousands, too
This is the parade of the $4,000 who might
have lived. They might have lived if you had
Just been little more careful in turning that
corner, in passing around that other car, if
you had been in just little less hurry to get
nowhere, if you had sounded your horn, if you
had repaired your brakes.
At the recent national safety congress in
Chicago, statistics were offered to prove that
these people might be living today if you had
observed safety first, that half of the motor
car accidents that claimed 10000 lives in this
country last year were preventable.
It is pitiful parade. It represents what
might have been.
