One OF the worlds most famous
radio stations, the United States
Navy's plant at Sayville. Long Island,
operated for the last six years under
lease to Mackay Radio & Telegraph
Co., will 60 on the block within the
next few years. Uncle Sans Navy
is not likely to resume operating 1t
and win sell or lease it, for Mackay
is giving up its lease In favor OF ex-
pansion in line with its widening
transatlantic, ship-to-shore and do
mestic radio-telegraph services.
Mackay has announced the acquisi-
ton of 1 1,l00-acre tract near Brent

The Sayville station, In fact, was
built before the war by a German
concern and operated by 1t before

1t was Silenced until leased TO Mackay
in 1923.
This latest step of the Mackay con-
Germ, subsidiary Of the International
Telephone g. Telegraph Co., is seen
in radio circles as another advance
in the stiff competition between
Mackay and the Radio Corp. of Amer
ica's widespread radiotelegraph serv-
ices, particularly in the domestic field

R. c. AS big radio center is also
on Long Island, but operated, as will
the Mackay center be, from downtown
New York. Between the two big COM
munications companies there has de-
Veloped keen and sometimes bitter
competition for landing privileges
in foreign countries for their trans
Atlantic circuits, for ship radio con-
tracts and now for domestic services.
In the domestic field, after both had
held back for years, each decided to
erect radiotelegraph stations for inter-
city services, Mackay already operat-

The r. c. A. recently entered into
an affiliation with Western Union,
while Mackay is allied with its sister

mestic radiotelegraph systems of both
companies is contemplated, with re-
ductions in message rates already
effected by way of sending IS words

Y BOYS TO HELP
 INSTANBUL CAMP
Local Members to Can= vass for $lOO to Sup-
 port Foreign Brothers

One special week early in De- cember will be set aside as Tag Week" for the boys of the YMCA and patrols will carefully canvass every educational class, gymnasi- um attendent, boys and young men who attend club meetings, bowlers in the alleys and other Y people.
 The purpose is to raise money for the foreign work of the YMCA and particularly the project under taken each year by the boys of all the YMCA's of Connecticut to pay for camp work in Istanbul, Tur. key.
 With the approach of Thanks giving and Christmas holidays and the spirit of giving and the l thoughts of others more or less prevalent the boys of the Central Y turn their thoughts with inter- est to this work with their for eign brothers.
 During the next week posters will appaer in every club room, locker room, bowling alleys, etc, as the boys department gets ready for it's week of giving for the work of the YMCA in far countries.
 The work of the Y in other countries is largely supported by American funds in many lands un- til people in those countries un- derstand the work of the associa- ton and are willing to underwrite it as it is underwritten in our country in each individual city.
 The boys department will be trying to raise $100 as their share of the money raised by Connecti- cut boys to help support the Istan- bul camp. The boys in the Y camp in Watertown this summer raised $50 of this amount and high school clubs have pledged another $20 of 1t.

Mrs. Vanderbilt May Get Her Daughter
Enigmac Decision of Justice in Celebrated Case to
 Be Explained TO-day-Lawyers Puzzle Over It

New York, Nov 15.-(UP)-Jus- tice John F. Carew today will
 clarify his already celebrated de-
 cision in the dispute over the cus- tody of 10-year-old Gloria Wander
 bilt, heiress to a $4,000, ,000 fortune. Attorneys for both Mrs Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, the child g
 mother, and for Mrs Harry Payne Whitney, her aunt, went to the courtroom confident they had won. Not until Justice Carew explains at ? p. ln.> will either be certain, but lawyers and other interested parties who sat up at late hour studying Carew's cryptic one sen- tenee. believed Mrs Vanderbilt was the victor.
 When Mrs Vanderbilt and Mrs Whitney completed their cases yes- terday, Carew dictated in the pres ence of attorneys to the court stenographer:
 ''Mr Justice Carew decided that the child, Gloria Vanderbilt, is not tot have for the future the life that 1t had from the death of its father till June 1882" At first, this appeared that Mrs Whitney would he permitted to re- tain custody of her niece who has lived with her since June, 1882. But close study of that one sen- tence caused layers viewing it in the light of Justice Carew's pre- vious remarks, the laws of New York state, and it's seeming wealth of implication, that Mrs Vanderbilt would be given custody provided she promised to care for the child in a way that would meet the courts approval.
 Carew, after astonishing the at- torneys with his one sentence, in- structed them to present to him in chambers today the Vanderbilt and Whitney versions of court order of custody harmonious with the principle of change in the life that little Gloria lived prior to June, 1882. when she was in cus- tody of her mother.
 The decision came after seven weeks of hearings, most of them secret. Mrs Vanderbilt, who placed little Gloria in her aunt's custody in 1892, had asked for writ of habeas corpus to regain custody. Mrs Whitney, charging Mrs Vanderbilt was an unfit mother. produced discharged ser wants who testified to alleged in- discretions of the mother.
 Neither Mrs Whitney nor Mrs Vanderbilt were available to news- papermen here. but London re- porters, who called them on the ocean telephone. obtained brief interviews.
 'T only wish I knew what Jus tice Carew's verdict means" Mrs Vanderbilt told the London Daily Express T have gone through he'll"
 She said she was in bed, i'll.
 "I'm afraid I'll be i'll for some time. But whatever happens, ] plan a holiday as soon as I'm we'll before facing life again."
 'It was a terrible ordeal for me, facing the scorn and insults of crit ics. Nobody can understand my feelings on the witness stand, hav- ing my private life revealed to all and sundry."
 Mrs Whitney talked on the tele- phone with a Daily Mall reporter who was impressed with her high hopes of winning the case. She said she regretted she was unable to interpret Carew's decision.
 Justice Carew was of no help to reporters who wanted an. authori- tative interpretation of his ruling.
