WASHINGTON ''RADIO TALKIES"
TO BE PRESENTED OVER WMAL
Television Station W3XK Will Be Moved
Into City-Broadcasts Over Both
Transmitters to Be Synchronized.

employed in the WMAL-W3XK trans
missions. according 10 Mr.. Replogle.
The experimental television station now
at Wheaton, he asserted. has a greater
carrying range than any other Of the
score OF television stations in the coun-
try. 1t is licensed for 5000 watts power,
but at this time Is not using its maxi
mum output.
The artist, when being televiewed, the
engineer explained. faces not only the
microphone. but also a sweeping beam
of light which scans or analyses the
image to be transmitted. The beam
sweeps the subject in so parallel lines
at the rate of 40 times, or frames, per
second. The reflected light from the
image is picked up by a battery OF
electric eyes" or photo-electric cells.
which translate the varying amount OF
light into corresponding electrical i'm
pulses. Amplified millions of times, the
electrical impulses are impressed on the
television tranSmitter. which propa-
gates corresponding signals.
Mechanism Adjustable.
The scanning mechanism comprises
a powerful arc light, a scanning disc,
three lenses mounted on q turret for
ready interchangability, adjustable mir
rors and q stand, he explained further.
The operator can direct the scanning
beam by means of lenses and mirrors, SO
as to pick up a closeup, half length
or a full length Of the performer or
performers. BY mans Of lenses Of dif-
ferent focal lengths, the operator can
change from q closeup to long shot
without alt: ring the relative positions
OF performers and scanner, which adds
greatly to the entertainment poSSibili-
ties, as in the case Of motion picture
technique The photo-electric cells
may be placed at any angle with rela-
ton to the subject. thereby obtaining
various lighting effects in picking up
the reflected light. The nearby micro
phone picks up the voice, music OF
other sound effects while the performer
or performers face the television pick
up.
Television Is still regarded by the
Federal Radio Commission as expert
mental, and commercial licenses fol
sponsored television programs are not
issued. It Is encouraging the expert
mental work. however, in the hope that
practical results. warranting removal OF
the experimental restriction. may be
achieved as repidly as possible.

Woodrow Wilson
NICHOLSON Victim,
Declares Grayson
War Presidents Physician
Says Nature of Illness
Was Established.

Woodrow Wilson did not die from
the effects of slow poisoning, the pos
Sibility of which was limited in book
just published by Maj. Herbert o.
Yardley, war time Topographic chief
according to Rear Admiral Cary T.
Grayson, Mr.. Wilson's companion and
personal physician throughout his ad-
ministration and up until the time OF
his death, in February, 1924.
Admiral Grayson said today the ma
ture of Mr.. Wilson'S illness was def
nitely established and that there was
no mystery about 1t. He said 1t was
true that the wartime Presidents first
signs of illness occurred while he was
attending the peace negotiations in
Paris, but there was no occasion to at
tach any significance to that, he as
serted.
In Maj. Yardley's book a death plot
is limited at only to the extent that
Yardley tells of deciphering a code tel
egran, from what he considered a re-
liable source, which reported an en-
tente plot to assassinate President
Wilson either by administering SLOW
poison or by giving him influenza in ice
in ice.
Admiral Grayson's statement con-
corning the nature OF President WI
miral said, as a denial Of Maj. Yard
ley's assertion about the code message
revealing the death plot.
MAI. Yardley's statement about thu
telegram and the plot may be per.
fectly true" Admiral Grayson said. a..
personally never heard of it, but tina
does not mean that such a telegram
was not received and recorded. We re-
ceived hundreds of them.
II personally received all sorts o.
warnings and advice regarding at
tempts to be made upon the life o
the President. I merely turned thes,
over to the chief of the Secret Serv
ice. Whether these are now in tn,
files do not know, but 1 do know
that Mr.. Wilson was not the victim o
poison plot"
