Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-20

THE first great news event ever to be broad
cast by a Nationwide chain of stations
went on the air from Washington. This was
the memorable welcome to Lindbergh upon his
return to his native country after his epoch
making New York-to-Paris flight.
Covering this event for the air, which was
broadcast by so stations to millions of listen
erS from coast to coast and from border to
border, represented feat never before at
tempted by radio and established q record in
the handling of news such as had never been
accomplished by any news gathering agency. 1t
served to demonstrate the value Of radio as the
quickest means of disseminating news. It gave
to practically the entire country the news Of
this big event at the very moment it was hap
pening. It brought virtually the whole Nation
within earshot of its Capital and gave to this
vast audience an opportunity Of listening in'
to history in the making.
From that moment on radios place in the
field Of news was established.
For over three consecutive hours Washington
was on the air. No detail of the vast celebra-
ton with which the whole Nation was in
sympathy and to which, through the magic Of
radio it was in tune, was overlooked by the re-
porters Of the air, the corps OF announcers sta
toned at every focal point of activity.
News being covered from a new angle.
Side by side with the men Of the press was this
new corps of news gatherers. No waiting presses
paused to transcribe their description into
printed words No newsboys stood in line to
deliver to waiting public, within a limited
radius their reports, minutes or hours later.
The voice was their medium of communication
and the voices of these men would reach their
audiences instantly, whether they were a mile
or a thousand miles away.
From the Washington Navy Yard, Graham
MacNamee, star reporter of the air, told his
listeners of the arrival Of the cruiser Memphis
bearing the home coming colonel Many who
were listening on that day will recall his words:
"There has been no such excitement in the air
since Armistice day; Lindbergh Is coming down
the gangplank, walking slowly his medals on.
Again we see the greeting of the Secretary of
the Navy. This is the most terrific broadcast

ing I ever took part in The Roman emperor
never received more enthusiastic welcome"
From the top of the washington Monument,
SIS feet above the ground, an announcer de-
scribed all he could see of the crowds and the
parade coming up Pennsylvania avenue, ana
of the arrival later of Lindbergh and his escort
at the ofacial welcoming stand on the Monu-
ment Grounds.
An announcer stationed at the Capitol told
of the passage of the parade at that point AT
the Peace Monument, at the foot Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue an announcer described the army
of troops that joined the escort at that point.
Another announcer stationed at the Treasury
Building gave word picture OF the trlumpnant
march up the avenue, and then MacNamee
came back on the air at the Monument Grounds,
and from this point the radio audience heard
the Presidents welcoming message and listened
to the voice Of Lindbergh in reply
Seven microphones stationed at these vart-
GUS posts the annuuncers all in communication
with one another through special telephone con-
nections, were used to describe the event. The
radio audience heard the guns firing over the
Potomac IN salute; they heard the bands, the
cheering; they even heard the tramp OF the
soldiers feet on the march; they heard every
tribute and every speech made. Vivid impress
sions reached the invisible American radio audi
ence, who were able to picture the whole event
as though they had actually stood in washing
ton with the welcoming crowds.
That was news service, the beginning Of a
service that in its short span of existence has
included an Inauguration ceremony. the funeral
of q former President, Washingtons birthday
pageant, Memorial day observances, numerous
other events of national interest and speeches
by the Nations leaders and the Nations great
on matters of timely Importance; q service that
was to bring The American radio audience into
the library Of the White House, into the private
home Of woodrow Wilson, onto the floor OF the
Senate and over the roofs and streets of WASH
ington in airplanes; service that was to reach
out to listeners across the seas in foreign coun-
tries; service that has brought the Nations
Capital to the forefront Of radio interest

] Capital"
That phrase, familiar to the
American radio audience since the
earliest days of chain broadcast
ing is gaining new meaning OF importance.
with broadcasting companies centering more
attention on news events and features OF timely
interest, Washington, center of the Nations
news. is becoming the chief news source OF
radio.
The day of the newspaper of the air" has
arrived The first radio city editor" has been
appointed And there's steadily increasing de-
mand for programs from washington.
Washington's two principal broadcasting sta
tions-WMAL, a link Of the Columbia network,
and WRC, local key station Of the National
Broadcasting Co-report marked increase In
interest in radio features originating here, and
officials of the N B. C. say that business has
nearly doubled at their Washington Office in
the past six months.
Now. with television actually in the near off,
ing. the voice of washington will no longer be
speaking in the dark, but the Nations Capital
will be brought within the range of vision OF
the American radio audience whenever big
news event is broadcast
NEWS is becoming the order of the day in
radio. That does not mean that it will
supplant the program of entertainment, but
when a big news story goes on the air today
the program of pure entertainment steps aside.
News of the City Of Chicago endurance plane
this month was put on the air at hourly inter-
walls as the flight was nearing its end. Realiz-
ing the demand for news, advertisers are will
ingly allotting time for the broadcasting of inn
portant events whenever they occur. News of
national Importance is given precedence, and
Washington climbs to the front rank among
the key cities of radio.
The broadcasting of news brought about the
first interconnection of stations on chain sys-
TEN and may be said to be responsible for the
network idea. In 1922 station in New York
was interconnected by telephone wire to sta
ton in Chicago to broadcast simultaneously q
world series base ball game. Following this,
the first regular interchange of programs by
wire was initiated between a Washington station
CwCAP) and Station WEAF in New York and
later other stations tied in to this chain" For
special news events Of national Importance,
large groups OF stations were temporarily inter-
connected, and from this beginning there grew

Coast network Tthe present. coast-to-coast net

DR. DYER TALKS
 ON SANE, INSANE
Experts Have Not Drawn Line
 Between, Dr. Dyer Says

Dr. Annie Dyer discussed social the Y. w. C. A. last evening. saying that no one is mentally healthy who is not master of q situation. Such questions as why people are mentally inferior and the various kinds of mental disorders were discussed.
 The dividing line between sanity and insanity has never been drawn by experts, she said. Dr. Dyer char acterizes an insane person as one with whom society cannot live and a sane persons as one who adjusts himself to the world and life and causes no trouble. Mental disorders she said, were often caused by the wrong use of emotions. Mental il- ness is the inability to conform 10 customs, inadjustments. People arc most sane when they can adjust themselves to the group in which they live.
 "Wc arc dependent for our emo- tions on other people and homes and environment" she said. "A substi- tuition of some praiseworthy object will often help in case of inferiority complex. Outside subjects often prove helpful in pulling ourselves together" Dr. Dyer's lectures which will be held on Tuesday evenings the rest of the month will consider the following subjects: Self management, work psychology or the psychology of the job within and without the home, psychology of management of other people, creative powers and group relations of men, women and children.

TARD|EU BEGINS
 CABINET BATTLE
Left Interrupts Frequently
 Hard Fight Foreseen

Paris, March R-A sharp cleav- age in the French chamber with the right and center solidly arrayej against the left was apparent today when Premier Tardieu read the dec- laration of his policy of his second ministry.
 The premier was given an ovation from the center and right benches but the radicals, socialists and com- munists plainly manifested their hostility by silence.
 Cries Halt Speaker
 The cabinet declaration was read in an atmosphere of battle. The premier was frequently interrupted by cries from the left.
 J. l.. Dumesnil, radical-sociaHst who joined the Tardieu cabinet as minister of marine and later was busted from the parliamentary group of his party, was a particu- lar target for the left's ire.
 In the address on which the fate of his new cabinet hangs-and with ference at London-the premier trimmed his sails to the recent ad- verse winds by cnlarglng ideas for tax reductions. However his pro- gram essentially was the same as that offered by his first ministry. h; oh,
 The premier told parliament that his financial pla nwas based lon a ! firm policy of a balanced budget and policy of amortization which in four years saved France He congratu- l@ted the country on the splendid condition of the treasury, the re- sources of which might help equip the nation to achieve greater pros- perity but must not be dssipated He advocated massive tax rcduc- tions" and it was understood he will propose that a few important taxes burdensome to industry will be reduced rather than general slight scaling of all.
 Outlines Tax Theory
 He gave as a principle that Gre duction of excessive taxes alway: causes a compensating increase ut taxable matter" meaning that t1y relief will increase business and SC a lower tax would yield an equal or greater amount for the government Farm relief was dwclt on as q pressing need and measures were outlined ito increase the yield of cultivated ground, to give French farmers priority on the nations consumption, to achieve more accur ate quotations on farm products, tc seek foreign outlets and to develop farm cooperatives and the farm or. ganizations.
 Agricultural prosperity" said the premier, lis in fact a requisite o, the moral and material health ot the nation and other French actiri ties should in their own intercst work to increase it."
 The premier summed up Frcnor policy as Organization of peace abroad, but with security" the maintenance of order and liberty and financial, economic and socia reforms so there may be greater jus. ticc and greater prosperity"

Taxi, Halted by Labor Line Is Stoned Before Man h. side Opens Fire - Con- pany Gets Injunction to Keep Employees Off Prop erty.

Elizabethton, Tenn, March H}- Two shots were fired during a clash lh the Stony Creek section early to- day between pickets and workers en route to the American Bemberg and American Glanzstoff rayon mills here, but no one was injured.
 Claim Workers Discharged
 In calling a walkout. the union charged that union sympathizers had been discharged and that the plants had instituted the stretch out" sys- tenn through eliminating two operat- ing departments and alloting addi- tional work to employees in other de- partments.
 Landon Estep, worker in the Glanzstoff plant, officers said fired the shots after warning the pickets who had stopped the bus in which he was a passenger that he was armed.
 The pickets congregated on the road in the Stony Creek section, 12 miles from here and halted a bus and private automobiles to enlist workers in a strike called by the local of the United Textile Workers of America.
 Stones Smash Windows
 Estep attempted to drive through the crowd, and, failing, commandeer- ed a passing taxicab and warned the pickets he would shoot if molested. Stones from the pickets smashed the windows of the cab and Estep fired two shots, both of which were wild.
 Later Estep said he would swear out warrants for those in the crowd he recognized, and would return with officers to have them arrested.
 An announcement by union off, cials said the labor leaders regard d the highways leading into nearby hill communities as "open territory for picketing, despite a clause in the court order forbidding congregatins on any road used for the purpose of transporting employees to their work in Carter or any other county"
 Sheriff J. F. Moreland said war rants would be issued for five or six persons who aided in releasing two pickets arrested for disorderly conduct during an attempt by of- dcors to disperse crowds near the textile plants at the time of the arrival of a new shift.
 Order Kept Secret
 Granting of the injunction by the Carter county chanccry court Mon- day night did not become known until the order, which is returnable March 17, was served on the crowds gathered on the highway.
 Tear gas was used in dispersing a part of the crowds and Deputy Sheriff Bill Fair arrested two per sons on charges of creating dis turbance, Sheriff Morcland said the crowd followed the deputy and his prisoners to q magistrates office where demands were made that the two be released "or fight" The pri. soners were freed, but the sheriff, said he would arrest five or six of the crowd for interfering with an officer. No action had been taken last midnight.
 Must Leave Property Alone
 The injunction enjoins the union. ists from trespassing on mill pro- perty, and also from interfering with taxi drivers engaged in transporting employees.
 Paul Fuller, southern educationa director of the American federation of labor, said the walkout called fol Monday had been 65 per cent effec, tive, but plant officials said they know nothing of a strike"
