ASK NARROW BAND
FOR RADIO TEST
Amateurs Plan Short-Wave
Circuit With Porto Rico
and Hawaii.

by the AseoCiatCu FFeSA
Amateur radio operators have re-
quested the Federal Radio Commission
for assignment of a narrow band in
the short wave field for .transoceanic
communication with Porto Rico, the
Hawaiian Islands and other outlying
possessions of the United States.
K. b. Warner. secretary of the Amcri-
can Radio Relay League, who presented
the request. declared that this practice
had been followed by Canada and Great
Britain, the amateurs of those countries
using what are known as Empire bands.
Mr.. Warner cited the value of thus link
ing the United States with its territories
and the deSirability of an exclusive
channel in the neighborhood of 80
meters to be known as the Amateur
Colonial band,
The International Radiotelegraph
Conference assigned the band between
3l.2 and 27.3 meters, or $500 and H.
600 kilocycles, for fixed international
services, effective January l. 1929. Mr..
Warner suggested that a 50-kilocycle
band between 10000 and l0,500 kilo-
cycles would be ample for the Amateur
Colonial service. The commission took
the case under advisement and told Mr..
Warner to submit formal application
Mr.. Warner further asked If the
commission was prepared to comply
with the requests of the amateurs that
1885 and l50-l75 meter bands under
the provisions of the international con-
ference be declared available for the
exclusive use of amateurs in this coun-
try. except by the Army and Navy The
commission is awaiting the recommen-
dations of Government radio men on
service needs before making a decision

BY the Associated Press.
While success is marking experiments
of the Bureau of Standards in direct
ing daylight airplane flights by the re-
dio beacon, mysterious shifting of the
course indicator IN the planes at night
is batting the bureaus radio experts.
A series of night flights between New
York and Cleveland, directed by the
bureau beacon at Bellefonte, Pa. and
the New York stations. revealed serious
errors. Instead of being stationary,
there was continuous shifting of the
course over a wide range. The indi-
Gator in the plane, which informs the
pilot that he is in the eQuisignal zone
or on the direct course. rapidly moved
about in an indefinite manner.
Mountains Affect Beam.
The shifting was found to be much
worse in mountainous than in fat
country. the fading of the general level
of the signal being especially severe
when the planes were over the Allie
gheny Mountains The cause is be-
lieved to be the same as that which
produces the fading OF signals of broad
casting stations
On a night flight from Harrisburg
Pa, to Washington, using signals from
the radio beacon at College Park. Nd.
no shifting was detected. There are
no marked mountain ranges in this
territory Observations of the Bell
for1te beacon were made at night on
the ground at Washington, distance
of I34 miles. While the shift phenom-
enon was noticed. it was less pronounc-
ed than that observed In the air.

be very accurate in guiding daytime

RADIO BETTER WITH BATTERY POWER
Flat cells are better
than round for ':B" batteries

THE Eveready Layerbilt ''B" Battery
No. 486 proves the superiority of flat
cells over cylindrical cells. In the
ordinary cylindrical cell ''B' battery
the holes between the cells are usually
filled with pitch or some other mate.
rial TO insure the stability of the bat
terry and TO prevent breaking the con-
nectiOns. The Eveready Layerbilt does
away with all holes because il is made
up of fiat cells packed closely together
one ON the other-like the leaves
of book. The Evercady Layerbilt is
all battery. Moreover. the flat cells
are more efficient - the active mate
rials produce more current when i'm
the fiat shape than the same quantity
of materials produce when in eylin-
drical cell. That is why the Eveready
Layerbilt outlas,s every other type of
Eveready, and we are convinced il is
the longest lasting of all ''B'' batteries.

FARMERS ARE hit

WELLINGTON, (FP).-Since the

has been a continuous decline in the
number of men engaged in farming
in New Zealand. Last year the num-
Der of farmers abandoning or evicted
from their farms was greater than
ever.
The mortgage system has been re-
sponsible for driving hundreds Of
farmers off the land. Thousands NOR,
are so hopelessly burdened with mort
cages that they are mere tenants Of
the main bank that holds the mort
gage deed.
All over New Zealand today farm.
ers, investors and financial institu-
tons have lost money. The small
farmer has lost most of all and the
big financial institutions least, for
they usually have been able to sell

WILKINS PLANE

Gathers Scientific Data
for Report

OSLO, Norway, April 23.-Com-
pletely rested and with their hur9er
appeased after the five-day isolation
at Doedmansoera Dead Mans Island)
which climaxed their epic 1920 mile
flight over uncharted polar wastes
Captain George H. Wilkins, Austral-
ian explorer and aviator, and Carl
Ben Eielson, Norwegian-American
pilot today planned their return to
civilization at Green Harbor, Spitz-
bergen.
The seven inhabitants of Green
Harbor received the filters very hos
pitably. Neither showed any lief
fects from their hazardous venture.
though they suffered from the pangs
of hunger during their enforced stay
on the uninhabited isle of Doedman-
soera.
1t is believed that their plane, a
machine of American make, suffered
no material damage in the two land
ings made by the filters.
Spitzbergen, the northmost outpost
of Europe, is still completely closed
in by ice. Shipping cannot reach the
island until the thaws set in about the
middle of May. The filters, therefore
will either have to fly here or wait
until that time for ship to bring
them.
OSLO, Norway, April 23.-If, as
some Artic explorers believe, a con-
tinent exists at the North Pole, Capt
George H. Wilkins and Pilot Carl B
Eielson failed to find it on their dash
by plane from Point Barrows, Alaska

Capt. Wilkins and the American
aviator are at Green Harbor, Spitz-
bergen, today where the former is

On the First of May, 1890, when

burg). A copy was found in the

is possible that this circular was is
sued by some obscure revolutionary
circle or perhaps by some individual
revolutionary working man:
''To the People on May First!
"In vain the Russian government
mocks the Russian people by impos-
ing taxes and penalties, by crushing
their human rights, by reducing their
share of the soil, by maintaining
caste differences, by encouraging the
employers to reduce the wages Of
their workers, and by every means
known to despotism.
"All this is done in order that our
people shall not be able to go beyond
the limits of their serfdom, to pre-
vent their overstepping these limits,
at least legally. But the day is COM
ing when the Russian people awakens
out of it's century long sleep, seizes
the Russian rulers in its mighty
hands, and drives away that band
of robbers which the supplemented
still call a government.
"This day is not far distant. In
the course of the last few decades
the consciousness of the Russian pro
letariat of the workers and peasants
had developed so rapidly that we may
hope for our own First of May in a
not too distant future. Only let us

SOVIET union To
CONTINUE FOREIGN
TRADE MONOPOLY
Workers Observe
Lenin's Birthday

MOSCOW, April 28.-Shattering-
the reports widely circulated by the
social-democratic papers of Europe
that the Soviet Union intended TO
give up its foreign trade monopoly,
Commissar of Trade Milloyan issued
a report yesterday declaring that the
monopoly was the keystone of the
socialist economy of the Soviet Union.
The decree was issued on the occasion
of the anniversary Of Lenin's birth
and the tenth anniversary of the
foundation Of the foreign trade
monopoly.
The foreign trade monopoly ''is the
defensive rock against which must
crash the waves of the world market
and the stock exchanges with their
crises and fluctuations, the report
says. Mikoyan announced that the
attempts of international capitalists,
headed by British and French inter-
ests, to organize a consortium for
dealings with the Soviet Union was
"assuredly doomed to failure"
