however, that he knew their names,
to which Com missioner Tomikowski
/ replied that if the commissioner
would tell him the names in conf
/ dence, he would retraCt his .,Ccusa-

missioner Morton not TO disclose the

Chairman Bannan insisted that he
had made an honest effort to have
the matter set forth in its proper
light in the newspa per. He called
on J. W Roche, a Herald reporter,
TO make a statement about it. The
reporter replied that Chief Hart, in
making an announcement of the
meeting OF the discipline committee,
had given the impression that Off
Ger Riley was to be a witness rather
than a principal. and two items to
this effect appeared in the paper.
Clerk Joseph A. McGrail had
later telephoned to the reporter,
according to the latter, TO eX-
plain that Officers Riley and Skier
rkowski were principals, but the
reporter, believing that undue atten-
ton would be attracted to the cases
by having three items published on
successive days. decided to wait
until the discipline committee report
came before the full board and then
publish it,
Bannan and TomikOwski Clash
Chairman Bannan told Commits
sioner Tomikowski that the latter
had accused him of failure to keep
his word, also that Commissioner
Tomikowski had told him on the
telephone that he had written an
article about the episode for publ
cation, relative to the incident, and
that the chairman had told him to
proceed to publish it if he cared to.
Commissioner Tomikowski replied
that Chairman Bannan had asked
him not to publish it, and he further
asserted that whereas he had been
assured that the position of the Of
ticers would be explained in the
Herald, it had not been done. Chair
man Bannan replied that he had no
control over the newspapers.

POWER LINE IS
CAUSING MUCH
RADIO TROUBLE
No Remedy Found for Case
as Found in North Part
of City.

Many requests have been made Of
The Times interference department
to locate the radio interference that
has been troubling residents in the
northwestern part of the city. This
interference comes on at about 4
p. m. and lasts about ten or fifteen
minutes and then comes on again
at midnight.
The Times radio department
thoroughly checked the whole
northwestern part of Indianapolis
and finally diagnosed the trouble
as coming from the power line light
ming arresters on the T. H. I. & E.
Traction Companys lines.
The power line arresters are
charged twice daily with $4,000
volts, these being the two periods
of which residents have complained.
No remedy has as yet been found
for this kind Of interference and
listeners will have to suffer it until
such remedy is found.

Presentation to Be Made
for Outstanding Work of
BWd's Aid.

Malcolm Hanson, chief wireless
operator of the Byrd expedition, was
awarded the gold medal of the Vet
eran Wireless Operators Association
last week for the most distinguished
contribution to wireless communi
cation for 1929.
Presentation of the medal will
be made by short wave radio during
the coming radon worlds fair at
Madison Square Garden, Sept. % to
%. The ceremony also will be heard
over network stations in this coun-
try.
In announcing the selection OF
Malcolm Hanson, j. F. j. Haher,
president of the V. W. o. A. said:
Under conditions not ordinarily
met by the man charged with main
tanning communication from an iso-
lated point Hanson has performed
in a manner calling for the admira-
ton of every man Of the key. AS
chief of the gallant corps of OPP
orators who accompanied Com
mander Byrd to Little America,
Hanson has conformed in a most
extraordinary way to those stand
ards of duty that wireless operators
ever hold dear.
Therefore, knowing as we do, the
difficulties and hardships under
which he has operated we feel
obligated on behalf of the wireless
operators fraternity to show this
small measure of our esteem.

quency response even on relatively
weak inputS.
In tone range, the inductor dy-
manic leaves little to be desired, and
likewise in volume, wherein it holds
its own with all but the most pow
erful auditorium dynamics.
Without an electromagnetic field
to be supplied with current by the
rectifying system, or again, a sepa-
rate rectif1er, a marked saving in &C
companying equipment is effected.
Also, much weight and space are
saved, as well as a lowering of cost.
All in all, the inductor dynamic
introduces an entirely new concep-
ton of radio reproduction, with ex-
cellent tone quality and maximum
volume combined with a simplicity
and low cost to the end that the
masses may enjoy the best.

Farrand Unit Fills Gap Be-
tween Types Now
Used.

For the past three years, c. L.
Farrand, a pioneer and authority on
radio acoustics, has been working
on a new type Of loudspeaker which
would fill the gap between the
magnetic type, with its simplicity
and economy, and the dynamic, with
its great volume, wide tonal range,
but unfortunately high cost. The
sum total is now presented in the
Farrand irductor dynamic loud
speaker.
Briefly, the inductor dynamic is
based on the principle of the A-C
induction motor. from which re
semblance it derives its name. IN
this loud-speaker, the voice cur
rent serves to alter the magnetic
flux OF the fixed magnetic field, and
this variation in fiux actuates
pair of armatare bars connected by
tie rods, each bar working between
It's respective pole pieces.
The gaps between armature bars
and pole pieces remain constant, but
the area by which the armature and
the pole faces overlap, is varied as
the armature is set into motion oy
dux changes.
The two light armature bars, with
their tie rods. are supported be-
tween two sets of pole pieces by
light strip springs. These springs,
however. are not for restoring the
armatures back to normal position,
as in the usual magnetic type. They
are merely supports. The magnetic
force itself is depended upon for
restoring the armature bars back
10 normal.
The inductor dynamic loud
speaker makes possible very small
cap between armature bars and pole
faces, yet without danger of pole
slap, since the amature moves in
tho plane Of the pole faces. With
out the spring tension OF the mag
netie loud-speaker, the new type is
cspable of reproducing the lowest
freuuencies. Furthermore. with the
entire armature member Weighing
as grams, as compared with s TO IS
grams for the moving coil dynamic,

ANNOUNCER is
FROM INDIANA
Edmund Ruffner Brings Rich
Store of Experiences to
Program.

Edmund Ruffner, who will look
down into the microphone again to-
night from his height of six and a
half feet, paints the scenes for the
songs and symphonies of The Voice
of Firestone" with word pictures
drawn from memories of strange
lands.
The giant of the studio, affection
ately known at Tiny" Ruffner, did
rot gain fame by chance. He fol-
lowed his music teacher throughout
the country and worked at twenty
occupations to defray the cost of
twelve years musical study. He has
worked in the lumber camps, in
Alaska fisheries, in industrial plants,
and department stores. He drove a
bread wagon in New York, and now
proudly admits he never missed a
sunrise in five years.
Although he is now in the program
planning profession, his weekly re-
turn to the studio as special an
nouncer brings to the Voice of
Firestone" an added atmosphere and
appeal.
Indiana Man
Ruffner was born in Crawfords-
vile, Ind. and moved to the north
west, where, after finishing his
school, he entered the University of
Washington to study music. The
World war came along and he joined
the army, afterward resuming his
studies, earning money in various
ways for his tuition. He is an all
around athlete and letter man" in
football, baseball, track and tennis.
Ruffner and Alois Havrilla are
close friends, the two having be-
come associated after the war in the
great musical religious drama, 1.-THE
Wayfarer," produced in New York.
A few years later they we're together
in 1.-THE Princess Flavia." After the
war Havrilla joined the National
Broadcasting Company's staff and in
1927 persuaded Tiny to do likewise.
While Ruffner was on his vacation
the listeners of the Voice of Fire
stone enjoyed hearing his buddy
pinch hit for him when Havrilla
acted as guest announcer.

Ken-Red's Cabin Nights, new
serial Of the air which will bring to
radio listeners musical scenes in a
typical southern Negro cabin, viii
make its debut over a wide network
Of stations associated with the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company, to-
night. 1t will be heard each week
from 8 to $50, under the sponsor
ship of the Ken-Red Corporation OF
Owensboro, KY, manufacturers Of
radio tubes.
The old music Of the southern
Negro. and his interpretations OF
modern melody. are among the most
entertaining as we'll as the most
interesting of any of our American
music.
This new series will be written oy
Don Bernard, program manager Of
the NBC Chicago division, who also
wrote and produced the Cabin
Door series, which won wide pop
ularity when presented as an NBC
feature of a year ago.
Old Characters
Many of the old popular
characters of the Cabin Door" pres
entations will appear in Ken1Rad's
Cabin Nights, bringing the same
rich melody and the same spon-
taneous comedy for which they are
noted.
The drama and music of the series
will center about three main
characters:
Willie, decidedly dilatory, but a
pianist without peer among those
of his race around OWensboro, where
the scene is laid. He is visiting"
his sister, Mandy, after a triumphal
period in New York, where, accord
ing to his story, he was a famous
on Broadway as the lights. His
visit has extended into what might
be termed a permanent residence,
due to the doting of his sister.
Mandy. who keeps the little cabin
spick and span, especially Willie's
pride and joy, piano which he
brought back with him from the big
city. Mandy's doting for Willie fire.
quentiy causes battles between her
self and easy.
Many Melodies
Easy, her husband, who as his
name indicates. is an eaSy-going,
lovable chap. Otherwise he is a
janitor in the Ken-Rad factory,
and he has two passions, to get Will
lie to go to work, and his love of
music. The latter, however, inevi-
tably overcomes the former, for
whenever an argument about Will
lies laziness arises, Easy is quickly
subdued by Willie'S playing.
Each Monday night at the same
hour all of the colored folk Of the
neighborhood gather in Easy's cabin
and forget the cares of the day to
the strains of music Sometimes it
is the melody Of their own race, but
frequently it is brand new music
that Willie has just received from his
old friends in New York. Even Easy
forgets the bills he must always foot
and joins in merry party.
1t is this scene that will be por-
trayed for the radio audience each
Monday night in Cabin Nights. 1t
will be heard through a wide net
work of NBC stations, headed by
WIZ, New York.
