 When 1t comes to broadcasting. televisfon brings up problems that go beyond the mere search for the proper frequency channels and other technical matters.
 Alongside the broadcast engineer are the broadcast production man. aser and the progrom director with their individual problems. These concern questions of proper artist presentation before the microphone and the "electric eye of television, of proper lighting, of makeup and of various other related matters.
 Edwin K. Conan, chief engineer fer the Columbia Broadcasting sys- tenn, says he is not so much con- Cerned with the technical develop ment of the necessary equipment- the research engineers are looking to that-as he is with te1evision's prac- tical application as a service to the public.
 Our close relationship with Par amount-PuL1ix will afford us short cuts to the developmenet of the art of costume and scenic coloring, of studio treatment and of makeup for television.
 AL tuS same tlfHe, we VIII nave to know what range of power in the transmitter is best suited to televi- sion, what effect buildings, signs and other electrica, devices have on this new type of broadcasting. and we shall try to find method of over- coming whatever difficulties ap- ear."
 In the meantime. production men both at CBS and NEG are testing artists before experimental appara- tus, having them try out all sorts and combinations of color in make Up and costume, moving them about and placing them at various dis stances from the television camera, to learn their effects in reception

 There will be practical limit, however. to effective television broadcasting, a point at which the

has the percentage increase been as
 large as in March, 1881.
 Six of the 12 groups of manu- featuring industries showed employ | ment gains in March and g groups showed payroll gains. The stone | clay-glass group gained 3.9 per cent
 in employment, the leather group
 gained 3.7 per cent, the textile group gained 3.1 per cent, the ve- hicle group gained 1.3 per cent, and l the iron and steel and nonferrous
 metals groups gained 0.S per cent each.
 Increased employment in March was shown in 30 of the 54 separate
 manufacturing industries, and in- creased payroll totals in 37 indust- tries. The outstanding increase ;n employment, 26.3 per cent, appeared in fertilizers, but this was neverthe-
 less far below this industry's normal
 seasonal increase in March. Stoves, brick, millinery, each gained over [ | per cent in employment in March; carpets gained over 6 per cent; automobiles, women's clothing, and cement gained over 5 per cent each: cotton goods, boots and shoes, and , carriages and wagons each gained
 over 4 per cent. The iron and steel industry gained l.5 per cent, and
 foundries and machine shops less
 than one-tenth of 1 per cent. The greatest decreases in employ
 ment in March in the separate in-
 dustries were in the rubber boots
 and shoes, agricultural implements, and petroleum refining industries. Five of the 10 manufacturing in- dustries surveyed but not included in the bureaus indexes reported
 more employees in March than in
 February: these were rayon, air
 craft, paint and varnish. miscellan- eous rubber goods, and beverages;
 radio. jewelry, beet sugar. cash
 registers, and typewriters reported
 fewer employees in March than in
 February.
 Employment increased in March in of the geographic divisions:
 The south Atlantic division gained 2.4 per cent; the New England,
 east north central, and Pacific divi-
 slons each gained 1.2 per cent; and the east south central division gain ed 0.9 per cent. Of the losses in the
 remaining divisions that in the
 middle Atlantic division was less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

March Employment
 Shows Little Change
Six Out of Fifteen Selected Industries Showed An In.
 crease With General Payroll Gain of $8Ol,946

The bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor reports changes in employ ment and payroll totals in March 1881, as compared with February, 1881, based, on returns of 43,79e es- tabiishments, in 15 major industrial groaps. having in March 4,649,112 employees whose combined earnings in enc week were 116,2S2,266.
 The com bined totals of the IS industrial groups show practically no change in employment in March as compared with February. the actual change having been a loss of 129 employees over the months interval or hree-thousandths of per cent. Payroll totals increased $801,946, or 0.7 per cent.
 Increased employment in March was shown in of the 15 industrial groups: Manufacturing. 0.9 per cent: quarrying and nonmetallic mining. 51 per cent: retail trade, O.8 per cent; hotels, less than onc- tenth per cent; canning and pre- serving, 9.7 per cent; dyeing and cleaning, or per cent.
 Decreased employment was shown in March in each of the remaining 9 groups: Anthracite mining, 1O.S per cent; bituminous coal mining, 80 per cent; metalliferous mining, 2.7 per cent; crude petroleum pro- ducing, IA per cent; telephone and telegraph, or per cent; power, ligh., water. II per cent; electric ra,l- roads, 0.2 per cent: wholesale trade, 0.9 per cent; laundries. 0.6 per cent.
 Employment in manufacturing in- dustries in March. 1881. increased 0.9 per cent as compared with Feb ruary and payroll totals increased 2.2 per cent.
 These changes are based upon re- turns from 13,461 identical estab- lishments in 54 of the chief manu- facturing industries in the United States, having in March 2,SO2,4S5 employees whose combined earnings in one week were $68,103.4SS.
 Increased employment in manu- featuring industries has been shown in March as compared with Febru- ary in of the years covered by the bureaus indexes, but only twice in 1923 and 1929-has the per- centage increase been as large as in March, 1881: increased payroll totals have been shown in of the 3 years. but only once--in 19s3-

 "As far as I can see. the possibili- ties of television lie in the form of regular vaudeville presentations, or stort sketches, where there would he comparatively little competition elsewhere"
 As for the television of news events, at the same time they occur. VI. H. Ayleswo.th, president of NEG, has the answer to that.

 "Television booths may be set up. somewhat similar to telephone booths," says Dr Herbert E. Ives of the Bell Telephone laboratories, for use by those who really want to see the persons they are talking to. But re doubts whether such an insta1la- ton would be used widely enough to pay for itself.
 Engineers believe that eventually a combination sight and sound re- ceiver will be manufactured. It will have a single tuning control, like the sound receiver of to-day, to bring in the entire television program, in- cluding accompanying sound. But before that will come, broadcasters and public will have no other way of producing and enjoying television than by separate channels, over SC parate transmitters and through separate receivers.
 First, television receivers will merely supplement present sound receivers. Gradually enterprisine manufacturers will design cabinets containing both television and ra- dio apparatus. but which will have separate controls.
 Finally, will come the combina- ton television-radio receiver, with a single control.
 But that finality. is only a dream to-day, a vision much too far away for anyone to fear his present set will become obsolete with the ad- vent of practical television. (THE END)
