RADIO WAVE JIM PROBLEM FACING
 FEDERAL BOARD

above 23,000 kilocycles was opened for commercial service for the first time last year
 Considerable progress was made in the technical phases of relay broadcasting, resulting in increased demands upon the commission for allocation of channels for exchange of programs with foreign countries.
 Police use of radio in the rum ming down of criminals increased rapidly, the commission establish ing a new operating plan for this kind of service.
 Although Scme teleyision experts urged the removal of experimental restrictions on visual broadcasting. the commission did not recognize radio movies as having yet attained real entertainment value.
 Seeking an effective penalty for recalcitrant broadcasters whic h would be less severe than revoca- ton of licenses. the commission has asked Congress for authority to suspend licenses for 30-day ps- riod.

 More cylinders have been added, horsepower stepped up and trans missions improved.
 Forman introduction of the 1881 car to the public was made at the thirty-first national automobile show which opened last Saturday in Grand Central Palace.
 The eight-cylinder vehicle, after IS years in the automotive field, celebrated complete victory, gained during the 1930 season, in the bat tie of cylinders"
 Flights" outnumbered their near est rivals, the "sixes," while ex- tremes displayed in a bantam car smaller than ever and in two 16- cylinder models and a 12-cylinder car which have had previous de- buts.
 In all there are 36 makes of passenger cars, 16 makes of com- mercial vehicles, and two taxicab models. Most manufacturers with held announcements so as "to spring surprises"

U N EMPL L0YMENT .SITUA TON NOW
 CR OWING WORSE

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. IT, Chairman Woods, of Hoover's Un- employment Committee, estimated today before the Senate Appropria- tion Committee, that between A. 100000 and 5,00o,OO0 men are un- employed.
 Chairman Woods said unemploy- ment has been increasing and he did not believe the situation will improve before Spring.
 There is too much of it and the way which unemployment comes does not speak well for industry. There has been a general feeling in this country that periods of de- pression are inevitable. This should not be so regarded said Chair man Woods.
 In explaining the situation fur ther, Chairman Woods said he be- lieved the lowest period would be shown this month. A special cen sus taken about the middle of the month, he believed, would show un- employment at it's worst but by February he hoped the Emergency Committee will be able to set all machinery in motion to help the situation.

Most of the improvements are concealed. These include valves refined for greater speed and quiet CT operation, new manifold and carburetor designs. increase of rub Der mountings to reduce engine vii bration, and transmission special ties developed for quietness, ease of handling and economy.
 Outwardly, cars appear more rak- ish with a definite continuation of the trend toward wire wheels and taking spare tires from the back of the car to wells in the lenders.
 With increase in horsepower out put there are radiators of larger capacity and vane shutters con- trolled thermostatically to meet de- mands of summer and winter driv- ing.
 Wheelbases are longer, bodies larger and roomier, and cars hung closer to the ground. The industry claims that more is to be offered for the money than ever before.
 The show is held under the au- spices of the national automobile chamber of commerce, headed by Alvan Macauley as president and Charles D. Hastings as chairman of the show committee,

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Radio rode into 1881 bringing information and entertainment to some 13,000.- coo homes, increased service to in- dustry and the promise of a "lit- tie theatre" in every household.
 Better and more extensive use of the limited number of available wavelengths remains the n tor concern of the men who regulate radio. The Federal Radio Commis- sion is endeavoring to meet the in- creased demand for channels for program broadcasting, radio movies and aviation, and point to point service.
 Progress in standardization brings hope that simultaneous operation of several stations on the same channel will some day alleviate con- gestion in the broadcast band.
 Experimental use of the very high frequencies. hitherto vast uncharted region of the ether, gives promise of their utilization for var ious kinds Of services The band

Hynotism May Jar George
 MdsOn's'' Amnesia

BATON ROUGE, La., Jan. T. Hypnotism may yet solve the riddle of MT. George Masons-who he is and how he lost his memory,
 Psychologists at Louisiana State University have begun series of tests in efforts to cure Mason's case of amnesia, a mystery for the past 13 months.
 Mason, who woke up in a small New Orleans hotel in May, 1929, without. any recollection of his past, has been under observation at state hospital here for nearly a year.
 Before entering the institution he travelled all over the country in efforts to establish his identity. He took the name of George Ma son-because he could not recall his own
 Recently he accepted sugges- tion by Dr. Paul c. Young, psychol- ogist at Louisiana State, that he submit to hypnotic treatments.
 These Dr. Young believed will prove fruitful, for under hypnosis the amnesia victim has established a tentative connection with the past revealing that he once lived in the far west and that he has consid- erable familiarity with Australia.
 When it was suggested to him that he was child, he recalled a Sacred Heart school" a Sister Mary" and said he sold papers on the streets of San Francisco, where his companions called him Chuck
 On another occasion he discussed mathematics and engineering ex- pertly and spoke of working in an automobile assembling plant, but failed to give the plants name or location.
 Hypnotic treatments are being continued at weekly intervals. Fol- lowing publication of Mason's first responses, scores of persons have written pr. Young, seeking leads and seeking descriptions and de- tails of the case.
 Mason's case previously had at tracted wide attention When he woke up in the New Orleans hotel,

 TOBACCO FIRM
American Tobacco Compa- ny Attributes Success
 to Newspaper Ads

That proper and intelligent news paper advertising is 8 profitable investment to business, was again proved in 1880 to the satisfaction of the American Tobacco Company, makers of Lucky Strike cigarettes, declared George w. Hill, President, in telegram received by The Empire today.
 Last year The Empire was one of the Alaska newspapers selected by that corporation for advertising. How effectively it performed it's services is indicated by the fol- lowing telegram from MT. Hill:
 "The American Tobacco Com pany opens the New Year by plac- ing in the newspapers of the coun- try the largest Lucky Strike adver- Using campaign in the history of the company. Our agents are to- day forwarding you your orders for this campaign.
 "The great growth in the sale of Lucky Strikes unprecedented in the tobacco industry - has been made by the power of newspaper advertising. We are again in 1891 increasing our newspaper advertis- ing because we believe this year, like 1930, will be a year of bigger business with us. Frankly, we do appreciate the power of public opin- ion generated through proper and intelligent newspaper advertising. (signed) GEORGE w. HILL,

 BRITISH NAVY N FIRST TRIP
 TO VISIT U. s. FLEET AT COLON

LONDON, Jan. British tars will pay their first formal call on Uncle Sans gobS this January
 Flying his flag in His Majesty s ship Nelson, Admiral Sir Michael Hodges, commander-in-ch chief of the Atlantic fleet, will sail from Eng land tomorrow for a cruise of the West Indies.
 With him goes a squadron repre- senting the best type of warships in the British navy.
 It will be the first voyage of this kind for the fleet and has been specially arranged to give the Brit ish navy a chance to visit the Unit ed States fleet in American waters.
 In 1905 the late Prince Louis of Battenberg took British squadron to New York, but when Admiral Hodges accepted the invitation to visit the United States fleet at Colon he was the first to ever do so.
 Sir Michael is to stay with the American fleet at Colon from Feb ruary B to 28
 The visit is made to demonstrate the friendly feeling between the two powers and to strengthen bonds of comradeship created when the two navies fought side by side during the war.
 Admiral Hodges was chief of staff in the Grand fleet during the war and thus came in daily contact with the American battle squadron in the North Sea.

 The opinion generally expressed regarding conditions in Europe is this-after a difficult winter, busi- ness may be expected to recover gradually, and that by the end of 1881 a decided gain will have been registered.
 In the foreign trade outlook however, the industrialization of Russia presents a new factor which is regarded in some quarters as adding an element of considerable uncertainty.
 Tn Latin-America. one of our greatest markets, slight indications have been discerned that eommes ity prices have about reached bet tom. Any further movements, it is believed, will amount merely to a general shaking down and readjust- ment of world prices.

1927, her designer was able to put into her all improvements that war experience had taught.
 Wherever in American waters the Nelson may show up it will be easy to identify her by her gro- tesqua silhouette.
 Picture 660-feet long steel hull, 106 feet broad, shaped like a gigan- tic flatiron with battery of great guns on it's upper side and behind them sort of steel skyscraper and you have the Nelson.
 Considerably over $39 ,500,000 was spent on the ship.
 All sorts of new departures were made in her design. One of the most revolutionary was in the em- placement of her big guns.
 The main armament of the Nell son consists of nine 16-inch guns of a specially designed, long range type.
 Each of the 16-inch guns throws ton weight shell and can hit a target at 25 miles. To enable the guns to fire ahead, on the beam or toward the rear most of her up- per deck has been left quite clear of Instructions. She cannot train her 16-inch guns directly astern.
 For fighting in this direction she has a battery of twelve 6-inch guns mounted in pairs in six turrets AS protection against attack by aircraft she is furnished with six AT, four 3-pounder, eight 2-poundeI and many machine guns.
