YOUTH PROGRAM
CALLED WASTEFUL
Education Leader Also De-
cIares Politics Playing
Role in Movement.

Alleged extravaganza and miSnlan-
aeement in the conduct of the National
Youth program, a part of President
RooSevelt's work-relief set-up, is STIR
ring up a storm of protest in educa-
tional circles,
The differences came to head to-
day with the publication of a broad
side directed at the relief agency by
Willard E. Givens, executive secretary
of the National Education Association.
His charges of extravaganza and poli-
tics were contained in an article in
the associations journal.
Givens charged the present ar
rangement for the National Youth
program will cost at least S2,225 900 to
administer, with an expenditure of
$225, 600 in Washington alone, where
as, he asserted, the whole program
could be managed from the Federal
Office of Education for scant $4,000.
Williams Heads Program.
The youth program is conducted by
Aubrey Williams, assistant to Harry
L. Hopkins, works progress admins
traitor, with an allotment Of S50,00O,-
600. Meanwhile, Givens charges, many
public schools are closed for lack of
funds.
Taken out of the hands of the
Office of Education, the program is
being conducted under political in
: fluences in which educators themselves
q have little voice, the article declares.
The original suggestion for the ma
tional youth program was made last
April by John w. Studebaker, commits
sioner of education. Later the Labor
Department joined in the movement,
a study of which had been carefully
worked out President Roosevelt named
Williams head of the new relief agency
and Miss Josephine Roche, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, as chairman
of the Executive Committee and DR..
Studebaker was designated merely as
one of the members of the organiza-
tion.
Givens discussed the situation in his
article. which is entitled New Deal
q Raw Deal for Public Schools"
Admits Students Will Benefit.
He said a great deal of good, no
doubt, will be accomplished in bring
ing educational opportunities to several
millions of young people, but he con-
tended the cost of administration is
too high and the administration is
branching off into numerous educa-
tional experiments outside the schools.
When the disposing hand of the
Federal Government began a program
of financial aid to farm, factory, home,
mine and crippled business institutions,
the schools, closed by thousands, asked
for help.
The F. E. R. A. came to the rescue
by organizing more schools nurseries,
adult classes, vocational training,
parent education and rehabilitation
centers-instead of aiding already Or
ganized institutions. Although emer-
gency assistance was given to rural
schools the program was administered
in such a way to give the jitters to
educators whose policy is to shun
{, waste"

and members are Edgar M. Carpenter,
Detroit, and Carroll Dimond, Wash

Appointment of this committee was
decided on by the council at the
conclusion Of the federation conven-
ton in Cincinnati last week, when
subcommittee recommended that
charges be filed.
The nature Of the charges pro-
posed never has been defined.
The new committee, according to a
statement, will collect data regarding
the activities of N. r. A Lodge which
have hampered or embarrassed the
national officers in the conduct Of

Varied Governments.

Mexico proclaimed its independence
from Spain in 1910 and effected it in
1921. From 1921 to 1857, a period
of 36 years, no less than 36 different
forms of government were expert
mentally adopted and discarded and
some 70 individuals, one by one, re-
spectively. intrusted with the chief ex-
ecutive post of the nation.

TeIevision Progress.

REHIND the radio scenes activities
~ as they effect the preliminaries of
television are going forward just the
same as ever. Thus, it can be reliably
stated that the plans announced last
Spring to conduct high definition field
tests in picture transmission still pro-
vide for the tryoutS to begin within
1886, probably the latter part OF the
year.
A committee Of engineers named to
go into the protest situation has been
holding meetings on a more or less
regular basis getting all the odds and
ends together. 1t has refrained from
commenting on its progress.
The tests, when they do start, will
have one important question to solve,
that of the best method for the inter-
connection of stations on chain basis.
One plan provides for the use Of ultra
short-wave relay transmitters; the
other would depend upon a special
wire line such as the coaxial cable re-
Gently developed. Along this same
line also is the matter of the use OF
movie films for television purposes.
No date for the start Of these tests
has been set, but judging from all OF
the preparedness work necessary, 1t
will be next Fall at the earliest before
they get under way.

Iona Distance Bridqe.

OVER a bridge table 5000 miles
~ across, two four-man contract
bridge teams representing the United
States and Buenos Aires will meet on
the night of November in a brief
match unique in the history of inter-
national play.
An American four. headed by Ely
Culbertson, will engage a team rep
resenting the exclusive Jockey Club of
Buenos Aires, with short-wave radio
stations in North and South America
carrying the bidding and playing back
and fourth between the two extremes
as the contest progresses.
The international match will be a
cooperative venture, the principal
parties to it being the General Electric
Co.'S short-wave station, W2XAF. at
Schenectady, Station LSx of Trans
radio International at Buenos Aires;
the Jockey Club, and the CulbertSon
organization. Bridge luminaries Of
both continents will participate either
as players or as members of the deal
ing committees.
Play will proceed from both Sche-
nectady and Buenos Aires, and accord
ing to the present plan, a listener
tuned in to either of the short-wave
stations will receive complete ac-
count of the contest, hearing the
voices of all participating players and
of the officials.

for even longer than that. because
rival radio sponsors have shown an
acute reluctance of late to take over
big name radio stars who have become
practically inseparably identified with
one particular brand name.
The show that will occupy Ed
Wynn's Tuesday night period, start
ing October 20. will be a serial titled
Jumbo" and it will emanate not
from Radio City, but from the Hip
podrome Theater In New York.
Jumbo" is actually a big theatrical
spectacle combining circus elements
and musical play. which will shortly
be opened to the New York theater-
going public However, on the night
of the broadcasts, the theater will
close its doors to enable its cast to
devote all their attention to the
radio presentation. The famed Hip
podrome will in reality be trans
formed into a broadcasting studio.
An important step toward the use
of radio in protecting ocean
travellers and vessels at sea has just
been launched by the Federal Com
munications Commission with the an
nouncement of requirements and
specifications for auto-alarm receivers
on ships.
For the first time, as result Of
this action, the United States has
joined with other maritime powers
in mapping out standards for these
auto alarms, which are the silent
watchmen for S o S and distress
signals on vessels carrying only one
radio operator. While the radio
operator is asleep or off duty, the
auto alarm records with loud sig
nal any S o S or distress calls. Ap-
proximately $500 American ships,
mainly freighters or small passenger
vessels which carry only one radio
operator, will be affected by this
added safety-at-sea device.
Another decision by the F. c. c.
to aid in MARITIME safety was the
PRONUNCIATION of requirements for ra-
dio equipment on motor-powered life
boats, carried by the larger passenger
liners, so that in the case of a wreck
or disaster the radio equipment in
the powered lifeboats will be in use

Short-Wove Race On.

A RACE is now in progress that
promises to furnish short-wave
listeners with greater thrills and finer
entertainment than they have ever
experienced before. 1t is the race
among leading nations for short-wave
radio supremacy.
Germany announces that by next
year she will have the most powerful
short wave broadcasting center in the
world. England not long ago an
nounced that two new superpowered
transmitters are to be added to the
already large number of stations To-
Gated at Daventry. France is planning
to enlarge its system. So is Spain.
Even Japan, it is learned, expects to
enlarge its short-wave broadcasting
facilities so that regular. broadcasts to
America and the rest of the world may
be scheduled.
