the $4,000 living alumni of the uni
Versity, scattered over the face of the
earth, into one vast body.
Yale alumni will gather in nearly
200 American and foreign cities so
widely separated that differences in
time will necessitate the broadcasting
being split into three main divisions.

Rroadcasting Co.'S Red Network, in
cluding WEAF, will be used for stimuli
taneous transmission of the speeches
and music from huge dinner in New
York City, beginning at $50 pm. The

Francisco, beginning at pm, Pacific
time, and at noon on the same day

Gated at WGY in Schenectady will
broadcast a special message from
President James Rowland Angel of
lale TO aIuI1lni dSSSIuDISu III hOlluOIi,
Paris, Rome, Honolulu and Toxic.
The broadcasting from New York
will originate at several points. Will
liam Howard Taft, Chief Justice of
the United States, former President,
and one of the best known of Yale
alumni, will address a gathering in
Washington, but his speech will be
reproduced at the New York get-to-
Kether. DIR. Angel and DIR. George
z. Vincent, President of the Rookie
feller Foundation, will speak from
New York; Richard F. Grant will
speak from Cleveland and Harry S.
Wallace will speak from St. Louis.
In addition to the speeches which
will be heard at the various gatherings
and over the air, every one of the
meetings will be enlivened by Yale
songs, Yale yells and other manifes-
tations of Yale spirit. The Yale Glee
Club will sing at the New York gath
ering.
The following stations of the Red
Network will simultaneously broad
cast the proceedings from New York:

Radio Interference
Blamed for Clocks
Tendencies tOGain

Docs radio interfere with clocks
and watches?
The suggestion is not new one,
but renewed interest has been
given to it in England by an am
nouncement of the manager. of the
Savoy Hotel, London, who says
that hereafter every one of the
1850 clocks in the newly con-
structed hotel will be worked and
tuned by electricity to insure
scrupulous timekeeping
Ever since the headquarters of
the British Broadcasting Corpora
ton (Which has 3S radio stations)
have been established next door on
Savoy Hill, we have found that
quite so per cent Of our clocks
have shown tendencies to gain,
which they did not do BEFORE" he
adds.
''It would seem that there is a
direct connection between their
irregularity and radio, as the only
clocks to be affected are those on
the side of the hotel nearest the
radio transmitting station"

RADIO TAKES FIRM
HOLD IN FAR EAST
Broadcasting Is National In
stitution in Japan and
Philippines.

Radio has taken a firm hold on the
peoples of the Far East according to
Chairman Bullard, of the Federal
Radio Commission, who, has just re-
turned from China, and is familiar
with the broadcast situation in that
part of the world.
While brOadcasting is quite a ma
tional institution in both Japan and
the Philippines, China has been slow
to develop her own network of
stations for either broadcasting or
commercial purposes, bat she is now
awake to the great value of such a
system and rapid progress in erecting
radio stations is being made. 1t is the
purpose eventually to have local sta
ton in each province and q main
station in Peking,
The real object is to establish a ma
tional network for political and mill
tary reasons; that is, so the govern
ment may keep in touch with each of
it's subdivisions in both times of peaca
and war. Two-way channels are
needed, it was explained. But besides
this real reason there are others; the
government desires these circuits so
that the commercial interests may
also be served with rapid means of
communication. The Chinese mail
the wire service is generally good
Keeps Communities Posted
Another purpose for the radio nets
is to carry broadcaSts to each and
every province, so that the communl-
ties may be kept posted on national
news, and also to provide entertain
ment.
Japan, unlike China, today Is re-
ported as oyerrun with radio receivers,
by the admiral, who recalled that he
had seen thousands of receiving an
tennae in and around Toxic. Five pri-
Vate broadCasting stations are oper-
ated in Japan, he said, but they are
under the supervision and control. of
the government, which imposes a
tax of about fifty cents a month. on
all listeners. The government collects
and 'disburses these funds after TAX
ing out it's expenses in connection
with the administration of radio. The
balance of the money goes to the five
broadcasters to pay for station oper-
alton and talent. Strangely, it seems
in this country, the Japanese are
glad to pay this tax. it was stated,
since it goes to the government and
their own entertainment via radio.
Filipinos Are Taxed.
F'ilipinos also are subjected to ma
tional tax for their radio entertain.
ment Admiral Bullard related, eX'
planning that the radio situation was
handled there, as here, by a board of
five business men who decide how the
money should be spent, independently
of governmental advice or control
The tax there, however, Is relatively
low, being only 5 cents a month.
At present there is only one broad
cast station. 1t is located at Manila,
operates under the call letters KZRM
and is actually an American trans.
mitter. formerly used and heard in
this country when it served the fans
who listened to old WY of New
York, now inactive. The range of
this station is sufficient to include the
whole archipelago, and necessarily so
if the broadcaster is to receive any
remuneration from the taxes.

RAIL UN|F|CAT|0N
PLAN IS DRAFTED
Parker Draws Up Program
to Preserve Needed
Weak Lines.


A comprehensive plan for railroad
consolidation looking to establishment
of a number of strong, efficient and
well balanced systems has been draft
ed by Chairman Parker Of the House
commerce committee.
The proposal, worked out on the
basis Of testimony taken during hear
ings just completed, was to be sub
mitted to Congress today with a view
of having it printed in bill form for
the study of members and the general
public during the Summer recess.
Under the plan, the Interstate Com
merce Commission would strike to
preserve necessary weak or short
lines, ultimately bring about the
establishment Of a number of strong
systems and take necessary steps to
promote economy.
Better service, simplification and
and the elimination of wasteful compe.
tition also are contemplated.
"Consolidations are to be author.
lied only when, in addition to other
prescribed considerations, the public
interest will be protected" Mr.. Parker
said 1.-The weak.line problem Is un-
doubleday one of the most serious
which now confronts us. A large per-
centage Of our weak lines must be
continued. We cannot permit the
abandonment of lines necessary to
our transportation system.
Although it is not expected that
consultations will entirely remove
the weak-line problem, 1t is certain
we may expect a very substantial per-
centage Of the weak lines to become
part of strong and efficient sys-
tenn, without detriment to that
system"

The first was that of Madison, which
was presented to the convention by
Edmund Randolph Of Virginia. This
provided for a strong federal govern
ment, and was the basis of the actual
Constitution finally adopted The Sec
ond was that of Charles Pinckney, who
was one of the delegates from South
Carolina, which was based on the same
principle as that of Madison, but
which differed in minor details Pinck-
ney, "a years old at the time. had the
satisfaction of seeing many of his ideas
