babies which were born the same
day in Englewood Hospital, At

Says He Switched Tags
The accusation pictured Bam-
berger. with the connivance of
hospital authorities or attaches,
as having deliberately changed
the tags on the garments Of two
babies, one Of which was given
to Mrs. Watkins and the other to
Mrs. Bamberger when they left
the hospital the same day.
The shuffling Of the babies, II
such actually took place. was dis
covered two days later. when
Watkins, bathing the bsby given
his wife. discovered the adhesive
strip on the back of the infant
bore the name "Bamberger" and
not the name Watkins" with
which the clothins had been
tagged.
Addressing Judge Joseph sa'
bath, who has been assigned to
the role of a Solomon to
straighten out the tangled owner
ship, O'Hara said:
Zone can hardly believe that
such q thing has taken place.
but we shall submit proof that,
suffering from this complex
and preferring another baby
to his own, Bamberger set about
with malice afOrethOught to
bring about this confusion.
''Mixed Instincts"
"This is not Ordy D case Of
mixed babies, but Of mixed
racial instincts and mixed re-
ligions."
Judge Sabbath continued the
hearing until August IS when
both sets Of parents and both
babies will be brought into court.

RADIO TELEPHONE STATION
IS BUILT NEAR DISTRICT LINE
Installation of Range Beacon Is Held Up
by Lack of Municipal Airport
Site for Capital.

Although installation of a radio
range beacon station in the National
Capital has been held up for lack of
municipal airport, the construction by
the Always Division, Department OF
Commerce. of radio telephone sta
ton on the coastal airway system now
is nearing completion on site little
more than a mile southeast of the Dis
trict Line on the Southern Maryland
road.
Beacon stations are under construc-
ton at Richmond; Greensboro, N. C.;
Spartanburg. s. c.. and Atlanta. These
stations probably will be completed be-
fore June /, leaving the National Capt.
tai as the only gap to the beacon sys-
tenn between Atlanta and New York.
1t Is necessary that the beacon sta
tions be located on or very close to the
airway adjacent to the airportS they
serve. Because of the uncertainty as to
the National Capitals municipal air.
port location, no site has been selected
here so far, although decision must
be made Soon
The radio telephone station, which
need not be directly on the airway, Is
being built on hilltop site overlooking
the Potomac Valley, and is to be COM
pleted about June i, IL was announced
by Always officials. Two 125-foot steel
towers are being erected. and two
shorter poles will be put up for high
frequency broadcast antennas. The
equipment will be housed in a frame
building.
From this station hourly weather re-
ports will be broadcast for the assist
ance of pilots flying the coastal air
way. These reports will be based on
weather information collected from
Weather Bureau and Department of
Commerce stations and observers at air
ports and intermediate fields along the
airway.
To aid in the collection and dissemi-
nation of weather information the air
ways division has installed total of
$3.50 miles of teletype circuits over the
major airways of the country, including
a circuit along the coastal airway from
Richmond. Va, to Boston, including

For the demonstrations here the

"TIN BLIMP" IS HELD
SUPERIOR TO FABRIC
Metal Skin, Impervious to Air,
Found to Leak Helium at Rate
Of 100 Cubic Feet a Day.

The metal skin Of the Navy all-metal
dirigible zMC-2, while impervious to
air, has been found to leak heliun1
at rate of about 100 cubic feet in each
"a hours, 1t is stated in a technical
paper by A. r. Carr and A. C. Good
of the College of the City of Detroit,
prepared for the American Chemical
Society.
The fact that the metal sheathing IS
impervious to air makes the "tin
blimp' superior to fabric airships of
the same type, it is stated as there IS
no decrease in the purity of the lifting
gas, due to the inward leakage of air.
The addition of about 100 cubic feet of
helium each day takes care of losses
and the quality Of the lifting medium
thus remains practically constant.

AT strategic points along the air

which collect information of this sort
from Always stations within their re-
spective sections and compile the data
for broadcasting and for the informa-
