All Tiints from Blue to Red, to Run Gamut

ton Restores Film Color Process.

The reason why, heretofore, the sound
track prevented use Of coIorS was in
the need of the photo-electric cell for
plenty OF blue light. Anything inter-
tering with blue distorted sound, and
the old color processes interfered.
In sight of the delegates today Mr..
Jones laid six to eight stripes of his
color tone films one above the other
and let light penetrate them. In what
ever order he combined them a steady
blue-violet light came through. The
blue was visible even through combina-
tons that to the eye seemed devoid OF
that color. So much more sensitive is
the photo-electric eye than the human
organ that under the new process the
rays operating the sound do not inter-
fere with the oppoNte colorS that ap-
pear on the screen.

MILLER REPORTED
FREED IN ATLANTA
Former roperty Custodian'S
Release UnConfirmed /,
at Penitentary.
By the Associated Press.


ATLANTA, May Thomas W.
Miller, former alien property custodian,
was reported to have been released on
parole today from the Federal peniten-
tiary here after serving a little more
than q year of an IL months sentence
for conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment.
Prison attaches, saying they were mot
allowed to talk" declined to confirm the
report in the absence Of Acting Warden
Aderhold, who was said to be engaged
in a lengthy executive conference with
penitentiary officials.
Miller, however, was reported to have
left the prison shortly after 8 am.
with the expressed intention of starting
for New York during the afternoon. He
could not be found at any local hotel.
The former Federal official was con-
victed in New York in 1927 after SEN
sational trial, in which he was accused
jointly with former Attorney General
Harry M. Daugherty of conspiring In
the administration of his office to de-
fraud the Government of German
owned property. A fine of $4,000 also
was assessed against him.
The jury disagreed as to Daugherty
Miller began serving his sentence in
April, 1928, and became eligible for pa
role last October, having been recon-
mended for such clemency in December.
At first the then Attorney General Sar-
gent announced he had diSapproved the
recommendation, but later approved it
a few hours before he was succeeded b.
Attorney General Mitchell.
