HUNT AND HUFFMAN
AIR DERBY WINNERS
Oklahoma and Ohio Pilots
Take First in Two Wings of
National Races.
BY OSCAR LEIDING,

Associated Press Aviation Editor.
CLEVELAND, August 27.-A din1inu-
tive and bronzed Southwesterner today
drew first competitive blood of the
1882 National Races by roaring to VIC
tory in the Transcontinental Handicap
Derby.
Roy o. Hunt of Norman, Okla, who
made his mark as a stunt pilot before
turning to the grueling cross-country
grind, finished a weeks flying with a
total of 1,814.75 points to lead a big
field that started from the Atlantic and
Pacific Coasts.
Tired and grimy, the 32-year- old
flyer won the National Sweepstakes
award on his second attempt as a derby
flyer and the first time he has finished.
A year ago he was forced out in Okla
homa while tied for third place in a
similar contest.
Stanley C. Huffman, Cincinnati
derbyist in the Atlantic wing. earned
the Junior Sweepstakes title by COM
pleting the 2,300-mile sweep down the
Eastern seaboard and into the Midwest
Will 4,SSS4o pOlIlLS.
Paced by Carnahan.
Paced in today's final lap from Akron
by Art Carnahan of Bloomington, Ill,
the derbyists filled the air with planes
as they jockeyed around pylon and
swooped in a long parade across the
finish line here.
Final standings In the Pacific wing
remained in doubt until two hours after
the bulk OF the group had landed. But
shortly after pm. Eden Cessna of
Wichita, Kans., who was forced down
near Blanchester with broken rocker
arm, raced across the finish line to
beat 7 o'clock dead line that would
have disqualified him.
BY thus completing the race, Cessna
took second place in his wing with a
total of 1886 points, more than
enough for the ranking despite his tardy
arrival.
The remaining money-fnishers were:
Carnahan. 1,075.15 points; Mrs. Gladys
ODonnell, Long Beach, Calf. 499.07
points, and j. S. Mcdonnell, Cleveland,
447788 points. Lloyd O'Donnell. hus-
band of the only woman in the wing to
place, lost the chance to share in the
purse when Cessna arrived. ODonnell
had 359.05 points.
Fred Dorset Second.
Ranking second to Huffman in the
Atlantic wing was Fred Dorset, Augusta.
Ga, with 1,041812 points. Failure OF
George Lenox New Haven, Conn, to
check in officially allowed Helen Nc
Closkey, 22-year-old Pittsburgh girl,
taking part in her first derby, to take
third ranking with 639.688 points:

, emanate from it. According to the
r. C. A. 1881 annual report, issued
this week, the company still pc
lieves that television can best be
brought into practical application
on its own band of radio waves
as a service additional to the es-
tablished system Of sound broad
casting" The report also notes
that marked progress in radio was
made last year and that "tele-
vision receiving equipment Will pc
offered to the public when expert
mentation has demonstrated that
a reliable and serviceable system
of sight transmission OF practical
value can be assured"
No prediction is made as to
when this company, the largest
in radio, will offer television to the
public, but it is clearly indicated
that much awaits the outcome OF
the Empire State Building tests.
While the report does not say so,
it is also the general belief that
televiSorS for the home, when
made available, will be so con-
structed that they can be attached
to ordinary broadcast receivers to
operate in conjunction with them
for synchronized sight and sound
broadcasting.
The reports annual statement
to stockholders shows q gross in
come of $102, 645,4 last year and
a net OF S768,903, and stockholders
in an accompanying letter are
asked to consent to a plan to re-
duce capital by reducing the
stated value Of common stock
from approximately $422 to 50 a
share.

Story of Safety Fuse.

Until the electric spark was made
use of for blasting, the safety fuse was
in general use as it is today to a limited
extent. The safety fuse was invented
just 100 years ago. Prior to that the
process of blasting in mines and quar-
ries was a very uncertain operation
Black powder was made use Of. It was
poured into the hole in the rock and
then came the risky business of firing
the charge. The only kind Of fuse
known was made by fitting lengths OF
goosequill into one another and filling
them with powder But no one could
tell how this device was going to be-
have. Often, instead of acting slowly
enough to enable the men to reach
cover, the fuse simply flashed and ter
rible accidents were caused.
The change was brought about by
the invention Of William Bickford who
was a man of meager education and
not in any way connected with the
mining industry. He was tanner, but
he devoted himself to relieving the
miner Of this great risk He spent years
in endeavoring to make a safety fuse
without any degree of success, but one
dav while visiting a rope walk he con-
ceived the idea of making a hollow
rope with a core Of gunpowder which
would burn surely but slowly and give
the miners ample time to get away
from the explosion.

RADIO CHANGE SOUGHT
Senate Committee Considers Revis-
ing Alien Ownership Proviso.

The quirk in the radio law, whereby
the International Telephone & Tele-
graph Corporation stood to lose the
international and domestic wave
lengths used by its various subsidiaries,
notably the Mackay companies. prob
ably will be amended during the pres
ent session of Congress. Following
hearing before the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, at which Frank
Page, I. T. & T. vice president, testi-
fled, Chairman Couzens and other
members of Congress indicated that
the alien stock ownership and direc-
torate provisions of the radio law may
be amended to preclude the possibility
that I. T. g. T. should lose its radio
licenses because of its % directors
are foreigners.
Pending a court decision, the Federal
Radio Commission has refused to grant
new licenses to the corporation and its
subsidiaries on the ground that the
law forbids alien directors. The I. T.
& r, though preponcerently an Ameri-
can corporation, has two Spaniards, a
Canadian and a Briton on its board,
largely because it has wide subsidiary
operations in their countries.
