SAYS GARNER
OUTSTANDING
u. S. FIGURE
Defeat Would Be Ma
tional Calamity Is
Opinion of Leading
Houston Banker

Defeat Of Congressman John n.
Garner would be a national calam-
ity, is the opinion Of j. T. Scott,
president Of the First National Bank
Of Houston. In a personal letter to
John Gregg. president of the Mer-
Shants National Bank of Browns
vile, Mr.. Scott expresses surprise
that there should be opposition to
Mr.. Garner in the district. Follow
ing Is the text of Mr.. SCOTS let
ter:
Houston. Texas, July %, 1928.
Mr.. John Gregg,
"Cr. Merchants National Bank,
Brownsville. Texas.
Dear Mr.. Gregg:
Il have for weeks past been deep
ly interested in the candidacy of our
good friend, John Garner. who is of
fering himself as a candidate for
congress to succeed himself, and
am a little surprised to note that
he has some opposition this year in
his district.
with all due respect 10 the gen
tleman who is opposing Mr.. Garner
at this time. I am hoping hat Mr..
1aIHNt Will DC TtlIIucQ 10
with the largest majority of votes
eve received by him at any of his
previous terms.
Mr.. Garner IS BY far the most out
standing representative we have in
congress from the great imperial
commonwealth OF Texas. His long
years Of service have placed him az
the top IN the democratic ranks and
II p~erchance the democratic ticket is
successful this fall. Mr.. Garner will
have the first choice at one or
more Of the most prominent posi-
tions in the councils Of the party.
Even If the republicans should be
successful. Mr.. Garner would be IN
command Of the key position OF
chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee. which is the most pow
erfil and important committee IN
congress, Of which committee he has
been for some time the outstanding
figure.
at would certainly be no less
than a calamity 70 have him fail
reelection, but ! we'll know that
the voters in his district. or az
least a great majority OF them. feel
as any of us outside OF his district
feel toward him, and ! am sure
when the votes have been counted
il will be found that Mr.. Garner
has been returned TO Washington
with an overwhelming majority, and
that not only the district which he
represents. but all of Texas as we'll.
will be given the benefit Of his wise
counsel and active cooperation in all
the big problems with which we may
be confronted. and that we may have
the benefit Of his strong personality
in securing the best legislation for
the needs OF the people.
with kind personal regards ] re-
main,
Yours very sincerely,

STATIONS
ON ONE WAVE
WITH SUCCESS
British Plan Gives U. S
Radio Engineers Food
for Thought.
Bal Tim SnecinI

! ~ ItmcS Special
NEW YORK, oct. 26.-Colonel A.
G.. Lee, radio expert of the British
Postoffice department, which con-
trolls broadcasting in the British
Isles, gives radio engineers here
some food for thought relative to
the possibilities of synchronizing
stations so that two or more can
operate simultaneously on one wave
length without interference.
While visiting this country
Colonel Lee reported that synchron-
ization as carried out by the British
stations is meeting with great sue
cess and approval. He said that
eight 250-watt stations are operated
simultaneously on the same wave
length. During daylight independ-
ent local programs are transmitted;
after nightfall the same chain pro-
gram is furnished to all eight sta
lions.
These "relay" or regional stations
cover the principal population GEN.
tiers, and on an adjoining cleared
or exclusive channel the 25,000-watt
Daventry high-power transmittcr
provides the same program for the
country districts.
Some radio experts are Of The
opinion that the complicated radio
situation in this country eventually
is going to be solved through the
synchronizing of stations.
In other words, for each station
on a shared wave at the present
time it would be possible, under the
method of synchronization, for nine
or more stations to be on the same
wave and still give perfect recep-
ton and not cause any interference
