 Future for Both

New York, oct. 1o iRj-Radio never can take the plac" of thc newspaper and broadcasting prob ably encourages newspaper reading. Gugliclno Murconi told the Evening World today.
 Tn" leading authority on radio in the world seemed amused by the idea that the invention which he did so much to develop ever could harm the nc"SpapcrS. People listen intent ly 10 radio reports of outstanding events. he pointed out, but then they puy a newspaper 10 find ont more.
 The newspaper has this distinct adNantage,' he said. Tt is a record. You cannot paste radio announce mcnls in q scra apbook, the news paper put the news down in black and whito.'
 "Of course. the radio has it's ad- Vantagos," the inventor said. "A radio impulse can travel around the world in on"-scyenth Of q second and news can be transmitted almost lllHtdn'intOuSlN,
 Tn" newspaper cannot bring 10 thc world the splendid musical pro- grams avaiabl" through the radio. but the press, he feels, always will b" the big power in the world for the expression Of opinion by rulers and statesmen and for the big events of news.
 Radio. Mir. Narconi declared. Of i"rS splendid opportunity for youth in the fields Of research and academic study and in lower planes of usefulness for the young man without extensive education. Orig lnality, patience and perseverance. be said, are requisites for success.
 Tclcvision is the field in which radio will make its greatest ad- vanccs in the future, Mir, Marconi predicted. Perhaps some day, he said, we will have transmission of power by radio, but he was unwilling 10 venture any prophecy regarding that possibility.
 The radio pioneers greatest in- of radio beam control" which would permit transmission Of radio messages secretly 10 one par ticular station. He is scheduled 10 lecture on that phase on his work here on Oct. F.

MRS. GRAYSON HOPES
 TO TAKE OFF TODAY
Her Flight to Denmark Scheduled to Start at 5
 This Afternoon

Old Orchard. Me. Oct. I. P,- Mrs Frances w. Grayson allowing her male companions to extend their sleep for several hours. was up early today to direct preparations for the start of her Sikorsky plane, the Dawn, for Copenhagen at o'clock this evening, if conditions remain az favorable as they now are.
 Mechanics who had remained at work until late last night resumed the final grooming of the hydro airplane before dawn this morning. Everything appeared to be progress ing favorably toward the start as planned.
 Mrs. Grayson ordered two quarts of hot soup and two quarts of cof- fee to be prepared for the four thermOs bottles the ship will carry She also asked for a dozen sand wich"s of ham and chicken.
 About two hours after she had left for the hangar, Winner Stultz. the pilot. appeared in the hotel lobby with word that both he and Brice GoIdsborough, the navigator and radio operator who complete the crew. had "slept wonderfully"
 Mrs. Grayson said that the start would be made as late this evening as the tide would permit, so that they might have daylight for a land ing in Copenhagen, if they are able to go that far. She made rough estimate of 33 hours for the journey. although. she said if might vary considerably either way
 The route was still undetermined this morning with final decision expected only a short time before the takc-of.
 Mrs. Winner Stultz aod Mrs. Brico GoldSborough, wives of the pilot and arrived in c q Orchard al noon 10 remain with their husbands until tha flight is under way. While Mrs. Stutz was regular visitor al Roosevelt field while the plane was there Mrs. Goldsboroueh, it was said. had rarely been seen about the hansars and her coming from New York was sudden decision made last night when Mrs. Stultz telc- phonod her.
 The work of fucline the Dawn with gasoline and oil was well ad yanced at noon and apparently would be completed hours before the time set for the take-off.
