BUSINESS is ON
UPGRADE, SAYS
RADIO CHIEFTAIN
Outlook for Industry Is
Splendid Declares
]. Clarke Colt.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Presi-
dent OF the Radio Manufacturers
Association can't repair his own ra-
do he admitted today, but as the
genius who built a small town plant
into a million dollar business in
twenty months, he believes that the
outlook for industry is splendid"
He is j. Clarke Colt, a former
iowa farm boy. who started his ca
reer as a hardware store clerk at
1915 a week. He assumed today
the presidency Of the association,
following his election at its annual
convention here.
The bottom of the depression. was
reached last December. Colt said,
and II will be only a short time un-
til business begins climbing the hill.
Many Are Optimistic
Colts optimistic view of the bust
ness situation was upheld by scores
of others among the $4,000 delegates
attending the convention. Gathered
around thousands of radio display
models of every type-with a total
value of about 81 600 o00-they de-
clared that business is better and
sales will be back to normal or bet
ter by autumn.
Colt was born in Missouri VAL
ley, Ia, f1fty-five years ago, ana
went to Omaha, Neb., when he was
IS. His 1915 week job led TO the
presidency Of the company In 1919.
Financial interests drew him into
the radio business, and now he is
president of the United States Ra-
dio and Television Company Of Ma
ron, Ind
Have Separate Fields
Colt believes the controversy over
competition between radio and the
newspapers is groundless. The ra-
dio has assisted newspaper business.
Newspapers have built up the radio
industry and each has its separate
field, he said.
Whether radio broadcasting Of
news is infringement on newspaper
territory is a matter for the broad
casting companies and stations to
consider he said. Whatever they
may decide, we know that the bene-
1T to be derived from newspaper
advertising is immense"
