Soviet DRYS,
VETS IN DRAW
Fight for Culture Is Aimed
at Alcohol.

BH LHHcd Press
MOSCOW, April 11,-AIter many
months of stormy debate, The fight
between Soviet vets and the drys
has wound up in a draw,
The drys gained their point by
inducing the government to curtail
its production and sale oil alcoholic
beverages.
The vets Immediately declared
their intention Of increasing the
output and consumption Of 'sama-
gon," which is the Russian equiva-
lent Of American white mule" or
homemade liquor. There is no law
against that.
The caspian, the state planning
organization, then revised the plan
for the production and sale of al
cohol.
Instead Of the sharp progressive
increase formerly indicated, it has
been announced that the consump-
ton must be cut at least to one
half, or even to one-third during
the next five years.
"Samagon, made of wild fruits
and berries, is made easily. Gov
crnment officials believe that there
will be just as much drinking in
the future as in the past
The fight against alcohol is linked
with the campaign for a higher
cultural level.

RULING MAY CURTAIL
GERMAN AIR TRAFFIC
International Commerce Hurt by
Reduced Budget.

BERLIN, April 11.-Wholesale
curtailment of Germany's internal
tional air traffic service is foroseen
today as a result of the Reich cab
inet's reduction by approximately
s5,0OO000 from the current aviation
budget.
The Zeppelin Company, hereto
fore one of the chief beneflciaries
from government subsidies, is said
to be planning reduction in interna-
tional traffic and in the extensive
internal routes it has built up.
During 1928 the Lufthansa COM
pany received approximately $780,
900 from the Reich and nearly
S2,000,000 additional from provincial
and municipal subsidies, The pres
ent cabinet budget provides only
100000.

Three MODELS
OF MhjESTICS
ARE ON SALE
Company Concentrates on
Trio of Sets, Gets
Better Results.

An unusual feature in the manu-
lacturer of the Majestic all-electric
radios is the fact that all manufac-
turing effort, as we'll as research
and experimental work, is concen-
trated in making three models.
Grigsby -Grunow Company does
not manufacture large line of
different models and radio equip
ment, but has concentrated to pro-
duce a few receivers of the best
possible performance and perfec-
ton, Two of the models are solely
radio receivers, while the third is
a combination radio receiver and
monograph.
The new combination radio and
photograph is designated as Model
181, while the original models are
known as numbers II and To- both
Of the latter having been improved
for 1929
Cabinet More Elaborate
The radio receiver chassis in the
two latter models are the same, but
the Model 70 has a more elaborate
and exclusive console cabinet than
Model II.
1t has been said that the fact
that the Grigsby- Grunow Company
concentrated its efforts in a few
models has been the reason for the
production of the super receiver
which has won such widespread
popularity.
Instead of variety of efforts dis
tributed among many interests. all
efforts we're devoted toward the ulti-
mate perfection OF the Majestic
radio chassis and a pair of artistic
consoles.
Now the third console and the
combination chassis has been add
ed with the coming of the new Ma
jestic combination.
Use Latest A. c. Tubes
All models use the very latest A..
c. tubes and the same velvet-tune
dynamic speaker built into the set.
Operation is simplicity itself with
tuning concentrated in a single dial,
Knobs for volume control and an
tenna compensation are found ON
| the panel.
Sensitivity and selectivity as well
as the outstanding tonal qualities
of the Majestic are remarkable.
Very little aerial is needed for re-
ception and stations from coast to
coast may be tuned in with excel
lent volume.
Walnut in Cabinets
Cabinets are made of latest de-
sign with beautiful walnut finish,
The Grigsby -Grunow Company owns
a tract of walnut trees in the south
and a saWnlill to furnish its plants
with the tremendous quantity Of
stock and veneer needed in the
manufacture of the Majestic.
The circuit used in Majestic re-
ceivers, Models II and Y, is R. F. L,
balanced, consisting Of three tuned
radio frequency stages, a tuned an
tenna input, and the audio power
amplifier.
Included in the eight tubes are
two CX-371-A power tubes con-
nected in push-pull in the power
output stage. The set is well shield
ed and assures selectivity and the
ability to tune through local sta
tons.
