In connection with the delicate task
Of fixing the size of cruisers and the

been the slightest change in the at
titude of the Americans to stand pat
on the privilege granted by the Wash

posed to the British idea that an ac-
cord be reached at the present con-
ference to limit the size of future bat

nevertheless, have not yet abandoned
all hope of being able to convince
Hugh S. Gibson, head of the American
group, that such an accord is feasible
and advisable
The Americans. however, are giving
careful consideration to the suggestion
for the installation Of some six Inch
guns, instead of eight-inch, on some
of the 10,0;0-ton vessels which can be
constructed under the Washington

an unfavorable report by the Navy,

posed bridge. The San Francisco

VALUE Of RADIO
SHOWN BY FLIGHT
Breaking Down of Isolation
Seen as Giving Sense of
Comfort and Security.
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 1.-The value OF
radio in future transatlantic flights
was stressed by experts today in com
menting on Comdr. Byrds flight.
When his radio stopped 1t was realized
he was in trouble and his approximate
location was known.
In the 1.900-mile jump through the
fog walls and headwinds OF the
stormy North Atlantic, the automatic
transmitter kent up it's internitt ent
flashes, notifying the world that the
craft was carrying on. Even in part
of the storm the radio was kept work
ing. 1t went silent only when the
plane came down.
Established Long Range.
As Comdr. Byrd kept an anxious
world informed of his progress and
attracted aid by his crippled radio, so
future flyers can establish constant
protection for themselves when they
become isolated in long jumps, au-
thorities said
Interspersed with messages of cheer
from the America came the automatic
signal WTW, the call letters of the
America. which enabled steamships to
compute its location by direction find
ers and stand ready to answer distress
calls, if they had come.
The Navy Department has been ad-
vised that the transmitter on the
America, operating on $50 meters, es-
tablished a 1,000-mile daylight range
in communicating with it's hangar at
Roosevelt Field, and a range of 1900
miles in reaching the station Of the
Radio Corporation of America at
Chatham. Mass. This radius was fully
up to the secret expectations of
Comdr Byrd, authorities said.
The results accomplished by the
America are the most astounding eX-
ample Of the breakdown Of individual
isolation in the history of communica.
ton, said DR.. Alfred n. Goldsmith,
chief broadcasting engineer Of the
Radio Corporation of America.
Gives Sense of Comfort.
''There is inspiration in the thought
that four men in the wilderness of
fog, high over the center of the At
lantic Ocean, were in closer touch
with the population Of two continents
than If they had been standing at the
busiest crossroads of a metropolis"
he said. THE public acceptance Of
transoceanic airplane travel will be
greatly stimulated because of such an
outstanding accomplishment"
These signals and messages have
given us all a sense of comfort and Sc.
curity in the safety of Byrd's eXpedi-
ton through the long hours which
would otherwise have been filled with
doubt and misgiving." commented DR..
Lee Deforest, electrical inventor.
The complete radio installation
aboard the America weighed lis
pounds. A 24-pound transmitter. a
modification of the standard naval
aircraft set, delivered power of $50
watts into the 450-foot trailing an
tennae of the craft.
The WTW signal was sent au-
at the rate of about ten
calls each minute by turning a switch,

tor, was able to receive-either in
