With International.

Ely the Associated Press.
The proposed merger of the Radio
Corporation Of America with the Inter

was negotiated in the interest Of
more efficient and more economical
system of communications than either
company could hope to develop indie
pendently," David Sarnoff, Radio Cor
poration president, testified today be-
fore the Senate interstate commerce
committee.
Subject to legislative approval, Sar-
noff said, the plan would at once pro-
vide q communications service for the
United States that would place us on
some measure of parity in this respect
with England, France, Germany and
Italy, where similar uniflcation already
has been effected, and at the same time
provide radio with the necessary pick
up and distribution facilities that
would warrant the greatest possible de-
velopment of the art"
He testified on the Couzens bill to
set up a Government commission with
supervision over all forms of communi-
cations.
The proposed combination of cable
and radio interests, prohibited under
the existing radio act, would not only
bring an immediate increase in bust
ness and earning power of the Interna-
tional Telephone Sc Telegraph Co., Sar-
noff said, but it would insure its large

GREAT ART HERITAGE
LEFT BY COUTURIER
Famous Paris Dressmaker Be-
queathed Fine Collection-Aided
Many Schools.

PARIS GP).-What happened to some
OF the millions women spent on Paris
gowns became known recently when
Jacque Doucet, famous dreSsmaker, died.
Besides his notable art library, given
to the University of Paris some years
ago, the couturier bequeathed one of
the finest collections of modern art.
In it are many canvaSes by Manet,
Cezanne, Picasso, Rousseau, Marie
Laurencin and scores of others of
modern schools. There are hundreds
of pictures by young painters, many Of
whom were helped toward fame by
Doucet's attention and aided when they
were poor by his purchases of their pic
lures.
Doucet long ago became known as a
great collector In 1912 he sold his
French paintings of the eighteenth CEN
fury, on which he had concentrated
The sale, still record here, brought
just short of 100000. Then he turn
ed toward modern schools of art.
Much of the money he spent of late
years went into the art library, now
housed in the Solomon de Rothschild
mansion, open to the public.
Doucet had gathered 100, 900 books on
art, 500 manuscript volumes, 1900
volumes of autographs and original
documents pertaining to art, 10000
photographs of art works and 10000
prints.
