HOLSTER RADIO
RIGHT UPHELD

The examiner of interferences
of the United States Patent OF.
flee yesterday handed down de-
cree that Frederick A. holster,
former Washington man now re-
siding in California. is inventor
of the radio compass.
The suit testing the validity of
patents sold by Mr.. holster to
the Federal Telegraph Company
was filed by the Radio Corpora
ton Of America. The suit and
decision have no effect on broad
casting, but merely the marine
compass, designed to enable YES
sells to determine their exact po-
Sition at sea when fog and
weather conditions prevent the
use of ordinary navigating instru-
mentS.
The Radio Corporation claimed
the holster patents infringed an
invention of Greenleaf Whittier
Packard and sued to prevent the
Federal company from using the
holster patents.
Testimony revealed that the
compass was invented in Wash
ington by Mr.. holster in 1915
and the decision holds that other
companies are infringing the Kol-
Ster patents.
An appeal probably will be
filed with the board of appeals of
the Patent Office, it was stated.

IMMUNITY
TAGSFOUGHT

Pity the poor traffic cop. For
he doesn't know where he's at.
To tag or not to tag-that is
the question. And with Con
gressional' and diplomatic"
tags carried by hundreds of cars
in the District, the question Of
tagging is one that requires the
wisdom of a Solomon.
The matter was taken up in
spirited debate in the House yes
terday and may result is some
new legislation that will enable
the harassed traffic squad to
know what is what.
BootIeggers Use 'Em
Present tags carried by the
cars have no authority. In fact
it was charged during yester-
days debate that many boot
leggers are using them. They
can be bought in the five-and-ten
stores by anyone, it was said.
Under the law, members of
Congress are immune from ar
rest. And diplomats, too, can
claim immunity. But, it is said,
the tags are used by members Of
families, clerks and others who
are not entitled to immunity
from arrest.
May Be Fined
But the policeman who sees a
violation of the traffic law does
not know just what to do. If he
tags the car he may find he has
violated the law himself and be
brought before the police trial
board for reprimand, fine or dis
missal.
Representative Blanton CD of
Texas charged that police are not
showing the proper respect for
the Congressional tags, while Rep
resentative Simmons (RO of Ne
braska urged that they be abol-
ished as too many of them are
used by persons with little or no
right to them.

SUCCESS
IS PRAISED

The people of Washington by
over subscribing the Community
Chests drive for $3.50, ,154.40 by
at least $1,000, achieved one of
the greatest charity victories in
the history of the city, according
to wide comment. Especially
were Government workers praised
for subscribing their often raised
quota of 100000. This was the
first year that solicitors we're al
lowed to operate in Government
departments and Government de-
partmentS subscribed most of the
chest fund.
The amount actually reported
at the luncheon yesterday was
$48,:93.53. The Red Cross an
nounced that $37,700 had been
given by direct gifts. This amount
was equivalent to a gift to the
Chest, as it was dedrcted frcm
the 100000 which the Chest
guaranteed the Red Cross in the
drive. With some $4,000 to $15,-
900 which Chest workers were
sure to get, the report put the
total of pledges to approximately
$1,1 ,15G.
