CABLES AND RADIO
GHTFOR CONTROL.
Wire and Ether Interests Re.
veal Struggle for Suprem-
acy in D. C. Hearings.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

Radios advent into the tranSoceanic
telegraph field as competitor of the
cables has not gone without challenge
and struggle.
The monumental battle that is rag
ing between the radio and wire interests
was unfolded before the Federal Radio
Commission in the course of the short
wave hearings, just concluded.
Radio Corporation of America, pres
ent operator of nearly all of the Ameri-
can transoceanic radio circuits, re-
vealed to the commission that it has
been unable to conclude satisfactory
pickup and delivery" arrangements
with the two large telegraph systems
of the Countrywide Western Union and
the Postal Telegraph Co.
Hence the Radio Corporations appli-
cations for 81 new continental channels
and the extended use Of ether waves al
ready assigned to it in the transoceanic
bands for the purpose of establishing a
rival network of telegraph stations COW
ering large cities throughout the United
States.
The applications propose a system of
trunk circuits joining four focal cities,
from which other circuits will radiate
Messages will be accepted from the pub
lie in direct competition with the. do
mestic telegraph services, according to
prospectus.
Four Central Offices.
From New York it is proposed to OPP
crate circuits to Cincinnati, Detroit
Cleveland, Akron, Pittsburgh, Norfolk,
Buffalo, Portland (MeD, Rochester
Washington, Baltimore, Boston, Sche-
nectady and Philadelphia. San Fran
cisco would serve Denver, Seattle and
Los Angeles, and there would also be an
extension circuit between Seattle and
Portland. Chicago would radiate mes
sages to Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Kan
saS City, st. Louis and Denver. The
station at New Orleans would serve
Savannah, Memphis, Dallas, Houston
and Galveston.
The major newcomer in the commu-
nication field, the Universal Wireless
Communications Co. of Buffalo, asked
for priority in wave assignments by
virtue of the fact that it was first to
conceive of the feasibility of nation
wide network of radio telegraph circuits
to carry traffic in competition with the
land wires and was the first to apply
for the necessary channels.
The Mackay Radio & Telegraph Co.,
which is part of the system embracing
the Postal Telegraph Co., rested its
arguments for sufficient wave lengths
to supplement its land lines with radio
with the plea that existing commune
cations companies be granted prior
rights by virtue of proved ability to
serve the public. Western Union failed
to put in an appearance.

FRENCH MINISTRY OF AIR
BESET BY DIFFICULTIES

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, September 27.-The newly
created French ministry of the air is ex-
periencing all sorts of difficulty in its
attempts to take off. Laurent Eynac,
pilot of the new government depart
ment, feels that he Is riding broom
stick rather than an effective machine,
and is threatening to resign.
His greatest obstacle is the refusal Of
the army and navy ministries to turn
over their aviation activities to the new
department. M. Eynac told his cabinet
colleagues today that there would be
nothing for the air ministry to supervise
If its activities were limited to civil and
commercial aviation.
The entire council of ministers Is to
meet today under the Craftsmanship
of President CASTOR Doumergue. An at
tempt to straighten out the tangle will
be made then.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-09-27

When the Radio Corporation of
America entered upon the scene In the
hearing room, its counsel, Col. Manton
Davis, declared that the radio act Of
1927 makes mandatory the separation
of cable and radio interests for the pur-
pose of competition.
Because the Radio Corporation Of
America is now proving that interna-
tional radio circuits can be operated
successfully, and because that company
is being deprived Of feeder" system
from the interior of the country, ne
asked for priority in the crowded short
wave band.
It is the claim of the Radio Corpora
ton of America that its competition has
brought about the first reduction IN
cable rates in the last 80 years. Radio
competition, according to w. A. Win
terbottom, Radio Corporation OF Amer
lea traffic chief, has affected q saving
to the American public of about $3O,-
900 900 in communicating tolls.
The lower rates, the increase IN Tor
eign trade and the normal growth IN
the demand for service may account
for this, although these factors alone
cannot be accepted as accounting Tor
the fact that some 10000 messages a
day now pass owe. the Atlantic circuits
and 1000 a day ever the Paclllc CIT
cults.
Since the Radio Corporation of Amer
lea now holds virtual monopoly IN
the transoceanic radio field, the long
reaches represented by its circuits
should be noted. 1t operates trans
atlantic circuits connecting directly
with England, France, Germany, Po-
land, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Portugal,
Norway, Sweden, Turkey and Liberia.
In Central and Soukh America 1t oper-
ates circuits with Porto Rico, st. Mar
tin, Colombia, Venezuela, Dutch Guinea
and Argentine, and within the next
few weeks is prepared to inaugurate
new services with Cuba and Chile.
Across the Pacific it operates with
Hawaii, the Philippines, Japan, China.
Hongkong, French Indo-China and
Java. Then there is circuit from New

RADIO RECEIVER
PROGRESS UNUSUAL
Modern Sets Have Made Re-
markabIe Strides, Fair Ex-
hibitS Prove.

NEW YORK CP).-As an electrical
musical instrument, the modern radio
receiver has taken great strides toward
perfection in the few years that the
broadcasting art has been in existence.
Engineers and designers believe they
have accomplished most Of their OBJ
jectives in today's sound sets and point
to the results of years efforts, dis
played at the Radios World, Fair in
support Of their contention.
Predominating is the electric set, con-
tanning either AC tubes, or its direct
current valves powered through the
house lighting lines by eliminatorS. Just
year has passed since the appearance
of the AC tube, yet Improvements in the
electric set have been as rapid as the
advances made in its predecessor, the
battery receiver, If not more SO.
Three considerations enter into the
makeup of the present day set-its EN-
cheney to separate local stations, its
tone quality and its appearance. Dis
lance is not considered so important,
the stress being laid upon reproduction,
which has been aided by improved
power tubes and better audio trans
formers.
In connection with tone ability. the

dynamic" or moving coil speaker has
front rank. It has characteristics
suited for good reproduction, although
1t requires more power than the cone,
which still Is widely used.
The shield grid tube has q place in
the show for the first time. Another
new tube is the super-power 25O. Few
commercial sets have incorporated the
shield grid tube, but the home expert
menter has been learning much about
1t through kit assemblies, and his own
hookups
While outnumbered by the variety of
factory receivers, kits continue to play
part in radio. The task of the set
constructor has been simplified and
everything is made to fit in its place
without home engineering.
TelevisiOn is beginning to be felt as
factor in the parts field, and displays
of resistance coupled amplifiers, scan
ming discs. and motors gave the fan an
insight of what is required to reproduce
the pictures in their present stage of
development.
Photograph transmission by radio
also attracted the experimenters inter-
est, and he has learned of the progress
in this development.
For the listener desiring to retain
direct current tubes, but still use the
house lines for power, there were va
rious types of A and B eliminators for
both direct and alternating current
The present A device is considered as
stable as the B, and has replaced many
storage batteries.

TT TOOK three years to do it, but it's
l. out at last! ). A radio set that
eclipses all expectations {. a set so
good it sounds like life itself ;. a set
worthy of the Eveready name!
Three years and many thousands of
dollars were spent by the National
Carbon Company in perfecting this
set. No chances were taken. Since the
first days of radio, Eveready Batteries
have been the standard of excellence.
Now, in entering the field with receiv.
ing set, the National Carbon Company
was determined to bring out something
that would excel. Something as out
standing in its field as Eveready Radio
Batteries are in theirs.
The new Eveready Radio Sets are
the result. Both in performance and
appearance they are the most advanced
ever produced. They are beautiful to
see, and JOY to hear. They represent
a new high.water mark in radio.
You can haze either aU.electric
or battery type
The new Eveready Receiving Sets are
of both types-all.electric, or battery
operation. Both will give you a realism
in reproduction that will simply aston.
ish you. You will hear the human voice,
orchestras, dance music, as though you
were there in person. You will hear
every instrument in its proper pitch
and tone quality, without over.empha.
sis or distortion. You can even catch
the whisper of an indrawn breath!
The engineers can prove all this to
you with charts and figures. They have
plotted the Eveready Fidelity Curve
a scientifically calculated graph which
reveals in actual, measured frequencies
the amazing similarity between Ever.
eady reproduction and the original.
This chart has been published; any
Eveready dealer can show it to you. 1t
is one more confirmation of what your
own ears will tell you. Eveready radio
reproduction is remarkably lifelike!
The mesv Eveready cabinets are

And your eye has an equal treat in
store for it! The cabinets of the new
Eveready Radio Sets are fresh in de.
sign and construction, and beautiful to
behold.

Or. Manoel de 0liveira Lima.

Or. Manoel de Oliveira Lima, diplo-
mat, educator and author, who died in
this city Saturday, was one OF the most
helpful and influential workers for pan
Americanism. After spending long
period OF his life in diplomatic service,
in the course OF which he occupied i'm
portant positions in n number Of coun-
tries, including the United States, DR..
Lima came to this city to make II his
home, feeling that here lay the best
field for his endeavors to promote bet
ter understanding of South American
affairs. He had lectured before a
number OF American and European
universities. and upon his estab-
lishment here he became mem
Der OF the faculty OF the Catholic Uni
versity, where he occupied the chair Of
international law. Several years ago
he presented his private library Of 40 900
volumes to that institution, and 1t is
now recognized as one OF the rarest
collections OF Pan-Americana in the
world. Students and researchers have
found 1t exceptionally helpful and 1t
has drawn to this city many who have
secured from 1t materials not available
elsewhere for their studies and writings.
This gift by Or. Lima was in recogni-
ton Of the fact that Washington forms
a center OF research. and 1t has great
ly enriched the treasures OF the Cap
ital. He contributed richly to the de-
velopment Of his own land. and in his
wide travels he. as it has been ex-
pressed carried Brazil with him, intro
ducing its cultural features to the peo-
Piles Of other lands. There is profound
regret at the passing OF so valuable a
worker for American unity of spirit
and for cooperation between the peo-
pies OF the Western Hemisphere.
