ELECTRIC HISTORY
 TO BE BROADCAST

A history of electricity, from it's original Identification by Benjamin Franklin to the very latest develop mont. will be presented over Ma tional Broadcasting company net work on Friday. June 10.
 June 10 was the day on which Franklin, with his famous kite and key. brought down the lightning. and. at zoo D. m.. ED.S.T, on that day will be demonstrated in part over an NBC-WEAF network the wonders which his discovery has made possible.
 Franklin did not originate the idea of electricity by any means but his kite demonstration was the first practical proof of the idea. He also was the first to classify elec- triclty as positive and negative, n classification which still holds good.
 The NEG tribute to his memory and his genius will show. in brief form, the results which have come from his original success in cap- turing electrical power and putting 1t to work.
