N. B. C. TO PRESENT
FOREIGN PROGRAMS
Engineers to Describe Descent
Into Crater of Vesuvius for
American Listeners.

Radio fare for National Broadcast
ing Co. audiences during the coming
Fall and Winter season will be more
varied and elaborate than ever before.
Extensive plans, now being completed
at Radio City and abroad, assure for
network listeners a succession Of un-
usually interesting international broad
casts from score Of foreign countries.
From the edge Of the lava lake in
the crater Of Mount Vesuvius, from
Alpine mountain peaks, royal opera
houses, quaint villages and from stu
dos in q dozen European capitals
will come voices of noted public ng-
ureS, opera and concert stars and de-
scriptions Of unique events and scenes
Of beauty and interest.
Intrepid engineers and announcers
will make the descent into the fiery
| crater Of Vesuvius early in the Fall
to send by short wave to audiences in
America, for the first time In radio
history, q description of the aweSome
scene. They will tell Of the research
now being carried on in the crater by
scientists to determine the cause Of
eruptions, and will paint q graphic
word picture Of the fumes and smoke
and boiling lava in the volcano near
Naples, Italy.
In contrast to this sinister setting,
the serene beauty of Alpine valleys
and peaks as seen from the summit of
the Jungfrau will be brought to N. B.
G. audiences In September broadcast

TRANSATLANTIC STATION
IN ENGLAND TO Be SOLD
Scene of First Successful Trans
oceanic Operations at Poldhu
Abandoned by Marconi.

Like the Navy Departments his
toric radio station at Sayville, Long
Island, soon to be abandoned by its
present commercial lessees in favor of
modernized site at another point on
the island, the British Marconi's
Poldhu station, on the Cornish coast
of England, is about to be given up
as obsolete. The Marconi interests
have advertised the site for sale, as
the United States Navy Department
will probably do with the Sayville site
when the Mackay Radio g. Telegraph
Co. finally moves.
Sayville was noted for its wartime
use after the Navy had seized it from
its German operators when the
United States entered the war
Poldhu has even more historical sig
nif1cance, for It was from that point
that the letter IS" was wireleSsed to
youth named Guglielmo Marconi,
who had established himself on a
hilltop near st. Johns, Newfoundland,
to try to receive the signal on an
aerial wire attached to a balloon.
Marconi heard the signal s.
marking the first spanning of the
Atlantic by wireless-and thereby laid
the groundwork for the great trans
oceanic radio services of today
Poldhu became the permanent trans
Atlantic station for communicating
with Cape Cod. Mass, and Cape
Breton, Nova Scotia. In recent year,
1t has been used by the Marconi Co
for experimental purposes.

United Support Sought for

man in soliciting support by
the heads of civic organizations
for the part Of the library program
desired for inclusion in the next
District budget He is looking for
help in the hearings before the
Commissioners next month and
has supplied very concise and
comprehensive lot of information
on the subject.
To summarize the principal
items of the program: The library
needs a larger staff to handle
constantly increasing public de-
mands; more money for books in
place of a book fund reduced at a
time when demands were increas-
ing enormously and an enlarged
repair fund to save library build
ings from further serious deteriora-
ton. For the new Georgetown
branch a stock Of books and a
staff are needed
The library trustees are propoS-
ing a new Petworth branch library
building on q District-owned site
and a site for an Anacostia branch.
Special help is solicited to secure
an appropriation of $21 300 for the
preparation of plans and specifica-
tions for the enlargement of the
central library building. Not only
Is more SPACE required for the ad-
ministrative work which increases
as new branches are added, but
additional space is required for
books and files. One whole floor
of the old Ford Building is now
used for book ordering, cataloging
and binding, for storage of sup
plies and for shelving of many files
of newspapers and periodicals. 1t

MORE OFFICERS
NEEDED FOR NAVY
Increase to Treaty Strength
Creates Knotty Problems
for High Command.

Several troublesome questions have
arisen with respect to the need of
additional officers to man the treaty
Navy as 1t approaches the limit
strength. The present intention, sub
ject to revision, is, first, to ask for
an allowance of 1000 line officers, to
be attained gradually from the pres
ent actual strength Of something over
5000 by appointment of graduates
of the Naval Academy, and, second,
to ask that the appropriated allow
ance Of midshipmen be increased
from three to four in order to &C
cumulate the additional officers re-
quired.
Involved in the subject Is distribu-
ton of officers to the several grades.
Undoubtedly, the bill to be draft ed
in the Navy Department viii provide
that the percentage distribution shall
be on the actual number of ofac
allowed. The present percentages
would increase the numbers In the
higher grades to an extent that it
Is feared would encounter opposition
in Congress.
1000 Line Officers.
For example, with 1000 line Of
ficers the number Of rear admirals
would be increased by Is, from SIS
to 10. On the other hand, both the
British and Japanese Navies have a
greater proportion of flag officers than
the United States. Naval officials are
reluctant to make recommendations
that would accentuate the disparity
and change percentages they feel
rest on ground and have proved to
meet the needs of the service salts
factorily.
Some staff officers of the rank Of
lieutenant and lieutenant (junior
grade) are inquiring about the effect
on their line running mates the pro-
motion lists to be set up by the Line
Selection Board now in session may
have. When q staff officers running
mate is passed over the selected Of
ficer next below him on the present
list becomes the staff officers running
mate on promotion.
This principle always has been fol-
lowed in the assignment of new run
ming mates in such circumstances
since the selection system has applied
to the higher grades. OF course, the
necessity, If any, Of assigning new
running mates to junior staff officers,
and the extent to which such officers
will become due for promotion, will
not be apparent until publication Of
the recommendations of the Line Sc
lection Board now in session.
Report In September.
The outlook now is that the report
will not be submitted before some
time in September.
Two boards of Medical Department
officers will be convened here shortly,
the first for the purpose of examining
applicants for commission in the
Medical Corps Of the Regular Army,
and the second to examine applicants
for commission in the Dental Corps.

Coin in Slot Plays Radio.

whereby each client pays not only his
premium but the cost of the radio
set by inserting coins. For every
franc inserted In the slot the radio
net works "A hours. At the end Of
the month the money is collected by
the company and applied to the pol
icyholder's credit against both the
annual premium and the cost of the
set. It takes l8 months to pay for
the radio. Larger sets which take

A Civic Problem
Possibly Beyond Solution.

Possibly Beyond Solution.
THERE are still some optimistic
i souls among our civic organ
izations who entertain the
fond hope that some time and in
some way the members of the con-
gressional committees handling
District affairs will be made up
only of those who are really
friendly to the unrepresented and
voteless District. Some of these
civic workers are even now saying
that some way ought to be discov-
cred whereby friends of the Dis
trict in Congress might be induced
to use their influence to have
friends included in making up
these committees and those who
are unfriendly omitted.
Similar sentiments have been
expressed for years as each new
Congress comes on the scene and
earnest efforts have been made,
but the problem remains unsolved.
With so many new things being
tried out just now, it may be that
a way will be discovered to gain
this boon for the District.
