BYRD NAMES RADIO
STATION FOR OCHS
Publisher of New York Times
Is Honored by Polar
Expedition Leader.
BY RUSSELL OWEN.

BY Radio to The Star and New York Times
LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica. Jun,
li.-Comdr. Byrd has named the radio
station at Little America after Adolpf
s. Ochs, publisher of the New York
Times.
This is the most southern radio sta
ton in the world and one of the busiest
short-wave stations ever constructed
Through it, communication has been
maintained with very little interruption
49, the New York Fimes radio station
1t has most always been possible to
reach some amateur stations.
Business of Station Heavy.
An amazing amount of traffic. press
official expedition business and personal
messages have been sent from it. Time
signals are received here regularly SO
that the chronometer may be checked
and Short-wave broadcasts have been
received with considerable success. al
though at times they are distorted by
rapid fading. On the whole. commune
cation has been even better than was
expected.
The station is the most noticeable
thing in our landscape, the three tow
ers, so feet high, forming a triangle
about one of the houses. They are lust
at the head of the slope leading up
from the inlet and the bay and stand
out against the sky even in our long
night. light has been placed on one
of them so that if any one should be-
come lost while walking the light would
guide him back home, as it could be
seen above the average layer of drifting
snow.
Ochs' Help Is Cited.
In announcing his decision to name
the radio station for the publisher of
the New York Times. Comdr. Byrd
sent to Mr.. Ochs the following message:
Little America,
Antartica, June 3, 1929.
Adolph S. Ochs, Times, New York.
Dear Mr.. OchS:
Your long connection with polar eX-
ploration with Peary, Scott, Amundsen
and others has been an important con-
trtbution to polar discovery You have
helped make possible our North and
South Pole expeditions. Your attitude
throughout has been very kindly and
your associates all the way down the
line have reflected toward us your
liberal attitude. 1t has therefore been
very helpful and a real pleasure to be
associated with you. Among other
things you have done much to enable
us to establish our radio station. which
has kept such remarkable communica-
ton with the United States. It seems
proper therefore to name this station.
the SouthermoSt one by many hundreds
of miles, the Adolph Ochs radio station.
It isn't much to do, but our decision
carries with it kindest regards and best
OF good wishes from every one of us.
BYRD.
Mr.. Ochs sent the following reply:
The Times Annex,
New York, June 10, 1929.
Comdr. Byrd:
Highly honored by your giving my
name to radio station. You are always
doing nice things in a nice way and
thus give additional pleasure to the
honor Of cooperating with you in your
useful and historic work. All join me
in afectionate greetings to you and
your crew. -.-- ADOLPH S. OCHS.

decent citizen of the United States the
falseness of these dastardly attacks
which have been made upon me and my
newspaper business and under cover OF
privilege instigated in one instance, I
know, and the other, suspect, by busi-
ness rivals"
Copley, in his statement, reviewed his
business career as an owner OF public
utilities, the Western United Gas d.
Electric Co and its parent company,
the Western United Corporation, which
operated in the rural districts Of I'LL
nois. At the age Of 81, in 1926, he sold
his holdings in these utility concerns,
he related, and then, because he did not
want TO retire from business activity, in
the Summer of 1927, decided to enter
the newspaper field.
Buys Newspapers.
He then purchased the San Diego,
Calf, Union and the Tribune, he de-
clared, adding this property to three
Illinois newspapers which he had owned
prior TO 1925, respectively, the Elgin
Courier-News the Aurora Beacon-News
and the Joliet Herald-News. These
newspapers, he added, were owned by
the Copley Press, Inc, of which he
held every share of stock"
He said that he owned personally, not
through corporate ownership, the Holly
wood, Calf, News; the Long Beach,
Calf, Sun, and the contract to buy the
Illinois State Journal of Springfield.
He added, he also owned Every pre-
ponderating majority" of the stock Of
the Southern California Newspapers As
ISOLATED, formerly the Kellogg News
papers, Inc, which own all or ma
jority of the capital stock of more than
10 California newspapers.
"Since the beginning Of 1928 up to the
present tina I have invested more than
$7,500,000 in newspaper properties" he
declared.
In connection with the sale Of his
Western United securities to Samuel
insult in late 1927, Copley said it was
done through the financial syndicate
which had charge of selling them. AS
soon as he learned of insults purchase,
he declared, he resigned as president
and director of that concern. He asided
that ne had negotiated for the purchase
of his last group of newspapers the
Kellogg properties, prior to insults ac-

sador's own connivance, would permit
disposal Of one or two important mat
tiers which hardly w-uld wait until the
premier returns to London for Parlia-
ments converting, June rs. Foremost
among these is the invitation to visit
America.
Returning from Lossienouth, Ambas-
saoor Dawes probably will address the
night. There Is general expectation
here OF some important announcement
from him on that occasion, or at least
utterances which may be accepted as
indicating the trend OF future relations
Of the Hoover and Macdonald govern
ments. =,
General belief has developed here
that aside from the routine Of his am
bassadorial commission, the former
Vice President has been commissioned
especially by President Hoover to
smooth differences between the United
States and Great Britain and to help
forward a naval-reduction agreement
based primarily on British-American
accord.
Prompt Action ArOuses Interest.
For this reason and the imminence
of the prospective visit of Mr.. Mac
Donald to America considerably more
{ interest has been attached to the arrival
Of Mr.. Dawes than is usually the case
| with even American ambassadors. 1t
was pointed out in some quarters, for
instance, that such prompt submission
of credentials to his majesty would be
! almost without precedent.
The Daily Herald Labor organ, today
said the enthusiasm with which the
suggestion of a conference between the
premier and President Hoover had been
greeted was a good augury for the
MISSIONS success.

conscious than the prime minister and
his foreign secretary that the problem
of the Anglo American relations is a

MaeDonaId's Slate Clean"
THE coming to power OF new gov
ernments, both at Washington and
London, has given the opportunity for
q break with the past and for a new
and more hopeful beginning. Fortu-
nately for the world the same change
I has brought to office on both sides of

Mr.. Macdonald when he sails for
America will take In his baggage a
clean slate. To be able to do that is
itself noteworthy achievement"

Asserting that the Radio Corpora
ton of America has built up the most
gigantic monopoly in the history Of
the country" Senator Dill. Democrat.
of Washington, today urged the Senate
to be cautious In dealing with the
radio industry.
Dill declared that the Radio Cor
poration mot only has monopoly
in the patent field under which virtu-
ally every manufacturer is required to
take out license, but 1t has secured
exclusive contracts with foreign coun-
tries"
THE Radio Corporation" he said,
"sits down with the cabinets of Europe
on an equal footing. No other Amert-
can company can secure the right to
build wireless stations in England,
France and Germany"
Dill added that he was not "criticiz-
ing" the corporation. But do say"
he declared, that this is an indication
OF the tremendous value of monopoly
and the care the Government and the
Radio Commission should exercise in
granting wave lengths"
