Times Radio Editor:
1.-THE undersigned radio owners
and fans would like to call your
attention to a disturbance over the
radio which simply kills all re-
ception. This is not a condition
in the radi oitself, as we have had
several radio men here trying to
diagnose the trouble, and they as
sure us that it is an outside dis
turbance.
''As most of us in the neighbor-
hood are planning to use our radios
extensively over New Years eve and
New Years day, we would like, If
possible, to have the trouble cleared
before that time.
IF it will be of any assistance to
you in locating or clearing up the
noise, you are at liberty to call at
the home of the writer, Dean Bar
rett, 921 Guilford avenue, either to
hear the disturbance or for any in
formation or assistance which we
may be able to give"
