TELEV|S|ON HAS
F|VE-YEAR PLAN
Radio Industry Hopes to De-
veIop/ Visual Art Fully
in Period.
BY ROBERT MACK.

A flve-year plan for television, an
ticipating the full development OF the
visual art within that time, has been
drafted by the radio industry and sub
mitted for official sanction.
Based upon use of the ultra high
frequencies, those channels in the
upper reaches of the spectrum hitherto
regarded as useless, the Radio Manu-
facturers' Associations Television Com
mittee has submitted to the Federal
Radio Commission a series of recon-
mendations embodying the new plan
Scientists of the leading companies en-
gagged in television experimentations
collaborated in the drafting of the
plan.
Use of the existing four television
bands in the so-called continental
short waves eventually would be aban-
doned as unsatisfactory, under the
plan. Ghost images, like the double
exposures of the old movies, and Sc
rious fading, which distorts the images
transmitted, are the most serious all
ments of television transmission in
these bands. Moreover, the bands are
Evening star., 1931-12-28

held TO be too narrow TO permit Of
anything like Nationwide development
and the signals transmitted too cramp-
ed to permit the sending OF pictures
that are not marred by flicker and
that are not dim and blurry.
The Television Committee suggests
recommendations be made by the COM
mission to the International Radio
Conference to be held in Madrid next
Fall, for observance by all nations.
The ultra-high frequencies now are
outside the realm Of international
Jurisdiction, for when the last inter-
national session was held five years
ago they were viewed as utterly worth
less for practical purposes. Wide
bands, ranging from $4,000 to 10000
kilocycles, would be staked off for use
by television experimenters and to
care for the future development of the
art.
These ultra high frequencies simulate
light waves rather than radio impulses.

If YOU DRIVE IN MARYLAND YOU NEED
AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE More Than Ever!
As protection against suspension of your operating
privilege in Maryland
2 As protection against claims and judgments for
injury, death property damage

But be sure that the company from which
you buy automobile insurance is one that
will give you complete service-one whose
insurance is recognized wherever you may
travel.
The Travellers is such company. 1t orig
mated automobile liability insurance Il
writes more automobile insurance than any
other company. Today, more than 100000
automobile owners place their insurance with
The Travellers.
Travellers Service is not limited to d
county, state or group of states-itis con-
tinent-wide, operating in both the United
States and Canada.
The Travellers maintains complete service
organizations in Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, to render every insurance SER
vice to its policy-holders. And The Travellers
has 220 other main claim offices strategically
located throughout this country and Canada
to give you prompt service when you travel.
In addition, there are thousands of Travellers
agents throughout the country, every one of
whom will be glad to assist you in case of
accident when travelling.
Today, see to it that you have adequate
automobile insurance. Protect yourself
against the loss of your driving privilege.
Protect yourself against accident claims that
may cost you your savings-your home
everything you own. Insure now-it may be
too late after an accident occurs. Mail the
coupon below for free digest of the new
Maryland Law. Better still, get in touch with
the nearest Travellers agent. And ask him
about the Travellers Instalment Payment
Plan.

Even if there were no laws requiring financial

the wisdom of automobile liability and prop

automobile accidents, damage claims, and

no YOU realize that the new Mary
- land Financial Responsibility Law
which goes into effect January 1st, applies to
residents of Washington as forcibly as to res
idents of the State of Maryland-while driv
ing in Maryland?
Under this law, if you violate certain of
the Maryland motor vehicle laws, or if final
judgment is rendered against you because of
an automobile accident in Maryland, your
privilege of operating your car in the State of
Maryland will be suspended until you give
proof of financial responsibility.
The easiest and best way to show proof of
financial esponsibility-as we'll as the most
economical - is a certificate of insurance
from an insurance company licensed to do
business in Maryland. The new law requires
a minimum amount of financial response
bility of $4,000 for injury to, or death of, one
person; $4,000 for injury to, or death of,
two or more persons; and 81 900 for damage
to the property of others.
This is the minimum amount specified by
the law-and far less than anyone who
values his peace of mind will carry. And it
costs very little to carry more. Agents of
The Travellers will be glad to give you quota
tions for your particular needs.

Harsh Criticism,
Solicitude Held >
Peril to Gloomy

BALTIMORE, Oct. 10.-The
hypochondriac-the person with
a variety of imaginary ailments
is a potential suicide, and
should receive neither harsh
criticism nor over-solicitude, in
the opinion of DR.. Wendell S.
Muncie in a paper before the
Baltimore City Medical Society
last night.
The person who is mentally
deranged and develops unusual
lassitude, perhaps has been af-
fected by some emotional upset.
He cannot explain his lack of
energy and ambition, so speaks
of various pains and ills of
which physicians can find no
trace, to condone his inertia.
When such a condition is
treated harshly or unsympa-
