| Naval communication headquarters
here has received from the director OF
communications in the Pacific vol
luminous report on the various uses OF
radio In connection with the fight.
Suggests improvements.
1t includes log of the tersely dra-
matte messages received by Government
and commercial stations, detailed de-
scription of the apparatus on the plane,
its good points and apparent defects and
suggested procedure for improvement OF
aircraft communication.
Operators at Pacific Coast stations,
who picked up the Southern Cross, re-
port it is their opinion that an opera
tor on an airplane should tap out his
signals heavy, or slowly. and double
them in order TO assure reception. They
suggest that the use of numerals in
messages sent from planes be supplanted
by the spelling out of numbers.
The note of the planes tranSmitter
was reported as swinging within a
reasonable limit which may be explained
rigid" This swinging was particularly
noticeable during storms or when the
plane was buffeted by the wind.
Asks Exhaustive Tests.
The belief was expressed that an
antenna rugged in the wings would prove
more efficient than the trailing type, an
experiment now being conducted on the
plane which will be used by Comdr
Richard Bird on his flights In the
Antarctic.
The general performance, however. OF
the short wave transmitter on the South
ern Gross prompted the director of
Pacific communications to recommend
that the Navy Bureau of Engineering
make exhaustive tests of sets, of that
type.

.SIGN OR Veto
SHOALS DRAFT,
NORRIS URGES
Failure to Act Will Cloud
Status of Bill, Insists
Senator.
BY C. ]. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, June 1-Only
by definitely signing the Muscle
Shoals bill or by a conclusive veto
can President Coolidge overcome
the uncertainty caused by his
failure to act on this legislation be-
fore Congress adjourned, Senator
Norris and others said today.
However, the prepondepance of
opinion was that the bill would die
automatically through a pocket
veto" unless Coolidge afflxNs his
signature.
The President has three courses
before him:
To sign the bill within the ten
day limit.
To veto the bill within the same
ten-day limit, in which event the
legislation is dead until the next
session of Congress.
To let the ten days elapse with
out acting either way.
The White House is known to
hold that failure to sign the bill
within the prescribed limit will be
a pocket Veto
Senator Norris takes the other
view and holds to it despite all
other contentious. Norris says if
the President does not sign or veto
the bill it automatically becomes a
law.
