RADIO GOSSIP

The battle of the giants in the en-
tertainment feld-radio versus the
movies-is heading for an armistice.
Current reports of the projected merg-
ing of the Radio Corporation of Amer
lea with the Keith -Albee-Orpheum Cir
cult and the Film Booking ONCE Pic
lures Corporation are indicative OF
movement that may result in a general
consolidation of the two entertainment
mediums.
Harmony through consolidation rather
MAN disaster through conflict seems
to be the guiding thought in the situa~
tion. What was predicted to be SAN
culinary encounter between radio. the
vigorous youngSter in the realm OF
Snown,a nship and the movies may soon
develop into a peaceful surrender and
amalcamation. with both sides pulling
in the same direction.
The day when one may be seated IN
his home. or at the theater. watching
and listening with rapt attention to the

bate on the Senate floor. or what not,
is foreseen with the rumors of the
RCA-Keith- -FBO merger. In all prob
ability that will be wired radio and
not lust plain radio. Television is still
within the laboratory. from the radio
point of view. but it is entirely feasible
by wire, according to engineers. That
is. an event may be recorded and trans
mitted to a motion picture screen hun

pulses by wire. just as chain radio pro-
grams are relayed from one station to
another This, according to observers.
probably is the thought that is lurking
in the minds of the executives of the
organizations aligned in the projected
merger.
Should the merger plans materialize.
It is considered probable that other
consultations will follow. Instead OF
keen competition between the movies
and radio. the situation would resolve
itself into a business opposition be-
tween combinations of radio-picture or
Ranizations.
Radio engineers believe the principle
OF television from the radio standpoint
is entirely practicable, but still too COM
plicated and too expensive to become
a public service. There would be Sc
we're limitations as to the number OF
radio television stations that could
operate. because of the wide band of
freQuencies required to transmit tele-
vision signals with good results.
Just what this initial step in the di-
rection of combining movies with radio
will lead to is hard to foretell. 1t may
mean that eventually the public will get

that the show houses will put on

with stubby pencil answers to
questions submitted to him by the
interviewers.

drifting away from religion, he
said:
they discussed the presidential quail

increase in scientific knowledge was
responsible fcr tho fact that "11, ,344

The happiest period of life, he
continued is between the age of 2
and Is years, introducing his theory

generation had shown change for
the better since his own youth.

In Rescue Work in Ca
madam Disaster
FIRE IMPRISONS
Entrapped Men Believed
To Be in Total Dark
ness in Mine

TINININS, Ont, Feb. IL CR-Almost
two score miners we're still trapped
in the depths of the great Hollinger
gold mine tonight, the second night
since fire imprisoned them, but hope
ran high among their praying families
at the shafthead, for, during the day
dozen men were brought from the
mine alive and only six were positively
known to be dead.
AS the rescued men were brought
up and their wives and children en-
braccd them, hope was reborn in the
hearts Of the relatives Of the other
trapped men that they too might
survive.
The fire started yesterday at the
$50 foot level in rubbish which had
been accommodating for years. Smoke
and fumes drifted down the shafts
as far as the 1900 foot level and
while most of the large day shift OF
miners succeeded in getting to the sur
face, more than 50 men were cut or
from all escape.
An efforts at rescue were futile
until the arrival Of a special train
from Toronto today, with fire right
ing equipment and oxygen respirators
A United States mine car was also
on the way from Pittsburgh, and was
expected to arrive either tonight or
in the morning.
Rescue parties wearing respiratorS
made reconnaissance deScents into the
mine and came back to report that
life still existed. It was found that
in one place, then inaccessible to the
rescuerS, a group of men had broken
an air line and by gathering close
about it had been able to keep alive
through the night and day.
All the trapped men were believed
to be in total darkness since they had
only eight hours of carbide in their
head lamps when they went down.
Hope of getting any Of the inlpriS-
oned miners ont alive had almost died
when one bell was heard sounded
weakly at shaft NO. H. The cage
was Immediately lowered, and at the
bottom was found George Zolob, who

shaft through dense fumes. He told
the reScuers where six of his COM
rades were waiting the outcome of
his attempt and all were saved.
AS the rescued men were brought
to the surface, there were scenes OF
wild emotion. Wives threw their
arms about the husbands who they
had feared were dead and their chill
dren shouted with JOY. zolob was
given stirring reception when his
comrades gave him full credit for saw
ing all their lives
Later five more men were brought
up alive from another part of the
mine Rescue work went forward
rapidly and officials at last acknow-
lodged that there was some basis
for expectation that at least a ma
jority of the trapped miners would
eventually be saved,
