Efforts Will Be Made to Get More
Educational Institutions
Equipped for Radio.

On the theory that the English vii

DAYS in contact with perhaps two edu-
Gated adults only, and that broadcast
ing can widen his contacts with active
adult minds, the Central Council for
School Broadcasting Of England. OF
which H. A. L. Fisher, noted British

expand its service.
Rendering their reports on the first
term of school broadcasts over the B. B.
c. System, now heard by $500 elemen-
tary schools regularly and 800 or more
occasionally, members of the council
agreed to enlist the aid Of principals OF
training colleges and add special rep
resentation of Welsh interests. Frank
Roscoe, chairman of the councils Ex-
ecutive Committee, asserted that good
broadcasting in the schools will give
children a standard both Of good re-
ception and good program, to which
they will insist that their parents ad-

Efforts will be made to urge more
schools to equip themselves with radios,
Mr.. Fisher holding that broadcasting is
going to be one of the great instru-

WAY SEEN TO BAR
W|RE-RAD|0 FUSION
Commission, Hearing Repor'
of Plan, Finds Weapon in
Radio Law Section.
BY ROBERT MACK.

ECTION IT of the radio law,
which two years ago blocked the
proposed fusion of the Interna-
~ tionai Telephone & Telegraph
Corporation with the radio COM
munications unit of Radio Corporation
of America. probably would prevent a
merger of Western Union with I. T. 8, T.
Intimations few days ago that such
plan was under consideration sent
the Federal radio authorities delving
into their law books. They have
emerged with the conclusion that /.
T a. T. would stand to lose its trans
IL it joined with Western Union. Sec
tion II of the radio law provides that
there shall be competition between
cable and radio in external communi-
cation. and states also that no radio
facilities shall be granted for such COM
nlInications when the effect would be
substantially to reduce competition.
Way Seen for Later Action.
The commission apparently could not
forestall such merger under the radio
law. But after the transaction was
consumated it then could take judicial
notice and decide whether or not the
terms Of section II had been violated
The fact that the same section pre-
vented the absorption by I. T. & T. of
the r c. A. radio facilities is regarded
as fairly conclusive evidence that such
a deal could not be made under the
law as now written The I. T. & T.
project, which involved the transfer of
about 500 900 900 in stock of that COM
pany at the then prevailing market
value, was aired before the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee.
The first hint Of a possible Western
Union-Postal fusion under l. T & t,
which owns Postal, came from New
comb Carleton, president of Western
Union Both companies denied that
negotiations are now under way. With
the land-line telegraph companies suf-
fering seriously from depressed business,
however, there seems to be a distinct
possibility Of changes in their corporate
structures
Mr.. Carleton, in report to his stock
holders, declared he could not tell

whether Western Union is destined to
stand alone as q corporation, as it has
for the past 76 years, or whether 1T
will be a part Of a larger corporation" f"
That statement led to the speculation
BON a fusion with Postal.
Western Union has cable circuits to
Emany parts of the world. In that regard
Fit is in competition not only with
r. G. Accommodation Inc, but
with the radio circuits of Mackay Radio
& Telegraph Co., 100 per cent sub
sidiary of I. T. g. T. and a sister COM
pany of Postal I. It. g. T. also op-
crates All-America Gables, as well as
telephone, telegraph, caDle and radio
circuits in a number of South Amer1-
ban and European countries. 1t is be-
Iause of these globe-girdling competi-
I've radio-cable circuits that the Radio
Commission probably would find itself
confronted with the necessity of pass
lag on such a fusion.

is one of this years debutantes, but,

dress to an Islington studio. painted
her face yellow-and got a part
dancing in the ball room scene in Jack
Hulbert's Jacks a Boy" After that
she did Spanish dancing for the films,
having studied both that and ballet.
Miss Leslie says, however, that she
dreams Of the day when she will do
character parts and so she is going on
haunting the agencies.
Although many of the debutantes
hope, as usual, to go into dress shops
when the rush is over, the films have
cast their glamour over them. Miss
Rose Bingham, one of last years debut
tantes, has had a small part and so
has Miss Diana Mainwaring, while
