NEW CONCERN ASKS
/. BANDS FOR TESTS
Virqinia Stations Plan to Link
200 Local Plants on
One Channel.

Linking of 200 local broadcasting
stations on a single channel by means
of a new process of Short-wave syn
chronization is the ambitious enterprise
of a new concern in the radio field.
which is seeking experimental licenses
from the Federal Radio Commission.
The commission is disposed to approve
the experimental grant to the COM
pany, the Continental Broadcasting
Corporation of New York, but the COM
missions engineers thus far have re-
fused to assent, holding that 1t is not
feasible.
The plan, according to P. M. Titus,
vice president of the company, IS to
employ two short waves of 1000 kilo-
cycles and of 1900 kilocycles, which
differ in frequency, to create broad
casting frequency falling about goo
kilocycles, or within the broadcast
band. BY local incubation of the waves
at each station on the chain the high
frequency waves emanating from the
two proposed super-power key stations
would be picked up by the scores OF
small stations on the channel and am
plified to sufficient signal strength to
serve the particular community.
1t is understood that the individual
stations would put on specially recorded
programs reproduced by photograph
records, and that each station would
begin it's broadcasting on the same
channel at the exact time and with
the exact photographic reproductions.
There would be no program broad
cast from the two 50,000-watt key sta
tions under the plan as outlined to the
commission. These stations would
merely manufacture" the carrier wave,
and the local stations on the channel
would amplify this wave and broadcast
their recorded program in synchronism.
Because the company now is seeking
only experimental licenses and con-
struction permits, the commission sees
no reason to disapprove its applica-
items, although one or two of its mem
bers view the whole scheme with Skep-
ticism. Aside from the experimental
channels, the company seeks four, sta
ton construction permits. two for the
sl1ort-wave stations at Fredericksburg,
Va, and one each for broadcaSting sta
lions at Richmond and Alexandria, Va.
Titus says the company has devoted
two years to laboratory work and de-
sires actually to go on the air in order
to put on series of practical demon
strations for the benefit of the COM
mission and its engineers. He would
not divulee the names of the hackers
of the enterprise. but said they were
influential men," and that once given
authority they would ACQUIRE the own
ership Of 200 stations throughout the
country. ranging in power from $50 to
$50 watts. These stations would serve
as the local "repeaters" for the Gen.
trallv located kew stations, which would
be of $4,000 watts power.
Highly enthusiastic, Titus declares
the new system is going to be IAN In
dispensable thing to the public"
Commissioner Caldwell, who always
has encouraged experimentation of
everv character, voted in favor Of the
applications.

| had completed the experimental sta
tons it was authorized last Summer
| to construct in New York and Chicago.
Construction permits for two sta
tons, each to use 10000 watts power
and three different wave lengths, were
issued to the Universal company last
August IA, to be completed by February
IA According to DR.. NathanSohn, con-
Struction has progressed on a station at
Scobeyville, N. j., while at Chicago a
laboratory the company maintains on
Ravenswood road is said to be the
projected site of the other station.
DR.. Nathansohn insisted that the Sc
crecy required by the company is EVIL
denced by the fact that efforts have
been made to break into its Washington
laboratory and to gain entry into his
Offices here. He declared a detective
agency has been employed to maintain
a guard, indicating that he believed
rival radio interests were trying to find
out about the company's equipment.
The only patents he said he was at
liberty to disclose are an oscillator, in
vented by DR.. Ross Gum of the naval
research laboratory, and a four-ele-
ment tube, invented by Earl Koch. for

Seek Competent Men.
The manager of the giant wireless
project asserted that the company has
lines OUT and commitments from
highly competent men now employed
by large wire and wireless concerns to
join the company. But he said he was
not at liberty to disclose their names
because of their present affiliations. The
company has, however, employed Ar
thur l.. Morse, said to be a former
traffic chief of the Canadian Marconi
company. he announced. Howard L.

to have constructed the wireless system

Whether a stock issue will be floated
is matter the Is members of the COM
pany'S board of directors must decide,
DR.. Nathansohn stated. At least three
important brokerage houses have offered
to undertake financing the project, he
said. AS far as he knew, no definite
plans in this respect are under way.
The cOmpanV'S directorate alone is
powerful enough financially to under
write the $25,O00,O0O capital, in the
opinion of DR.. NathanSohn. The presi-
dent of the company is John w.

board is Paul e. Fitzpatrick, Buffalo
building contractor. The officers and
directors are engaged in banking and
various other enterprises in Buffalo.

PLAZA is BRANDED
D. C. DANGER SPOT
Representative oliver Offers Sug-
gestions for Minimizing Traffic
Menace to Pedestrians.

Calling attention to Union Station
Plaza as lone battlefront, which the
safety army has entirely overlooked or
neglected" Representative Oliver of New
York in letter to the District Com
missioners today says that people must
run for their lives" through traffic
there
Emphasizing that he writes in a
spirit of friendly cooperation" and "ad-
mtratton for what has been done in
solving the traffic situation" Mr. Oliver
makes three suggestions for improving
conditions in the plaza.
ITO my mind" he wrote, sit is the
most dangerous spot in Washington. Its
construction is peculiar: two semi-circles
are separated by chain of islands. The
effect of this is that cars are darling
in all directions at once At night the
situation is worse. with innumerable
binding lights coming from all direc-
tons.
1T seems to me that the inside drive
ought to be for one-way traffic from
cast to west and the outside drive for
one-way traffic from west to east. This
would reduce the directions of traffic
movement and could be a basis for
further traffic regulation. OF course. 1t
would be OF great aid to the pedestrian.
Have pedestrian-lanes marked out as
the extensions Of the side walks of the
feeder streets. Compel pedestrians to
cross only at these places.

Culver in Bradford County Court today
as the result of an investigation into
their alleged making of home brew in
tho woods near the school.
The order was issued late yesterday
by District Attorney William Rosenfleld
after receiving a report of an inquiry
conducted by Constable Walter j. Bell.
field secretary Of the Bradford County
Law Enforcement League.
Constable Bell filed with the district
attorney a report of MS investigation
in which he said:
Made Beer" to Drink.
I'm questioning the boys why and
how they came to make the home brew,
they claimed that they had seen DEM
onstrations that had to do with
chemistry, where the elements OF
fermentation were taken up. Some
even went so far as to say that they
saw real home brew made in school,"
Bells report concludes contrary to
the stories in circulation find that the
boys did not sell any of the brew but
only drank it themselves: that there
was no talk of trying to raise money for
a graduation trip to Washington: and
that there was no real still or distilling
with still attempted"
According to the report the activities
of the boys began on April % when
they gathered a number of jugs and
containers and took them into the
woods along with lemons. sugar, yeast,
raisins and water, which Bell said were
used in making the brew
Laxity Of Discipline Denied.
Bell reported that parents Of the boys
criticized the alleged laxity Of discipline
at the school, and stated in his report
that some of the brew was made at
times when the boys asked for and we're
granted permission to take walks In

NEW YORK, May 22.-Richard
washburn Child, author, diplomat and

to George w. Wickersham, chairman
of President Hoover's new National Law
Enforcement Commission, in which he
expressed his personal opinion that dis

II reiterate my belief" he wrote,
that q distinction should be made be-

of the national infection of disrespect
for law may be increased and not di-
mtnished by insistence that all So
called laws stand upon one footing
II do not say that the eighteenth
amendment and its resulting Congress

regrettable that others have emphasized
that no individual has the right to

to obscure the question which appears to
be the first that your commission should
consider: Is social will. in the sense OF

Stones breathe" live, age and die,

an extensive investigation by X-ray and
other methods. He found that gems
possess characteristics closely resem-
bling those of the human body. They
absorb and eject carbon gas, func-

will show signs of age in time, and
