WIMBL LEDON. England, July A.
For the third time since 1929, Helen
Jacobs and Mrs Helen Wills Moody
today battled their way into the final
round of the ali-England tennis cham
pionships.
Miss Jacobs played some of the
finest tennis of her career to eliminate
the 3-to-l favorite. Hilda Krahwinkle
Sperling of Germany, 6-3, Go. while
Mrs Moody. six times winner OF the
Wimbledon crown. swept aside Joan
Hartigan. top-ranking Australian.
6-3, 6-3.
Mrs Moody. playing in her first
major tournament since back injury
forced her to default to Miss Jacobs
in the third set of the American
championship finals of 1888. thus
gained the Wimbledon final round for
the seventh time in her career. She
won the title on six occasions.
Miss Jacobs never has won the
title but has reached the final round
three times, twice to be beaten by
Mrs. Moody.
Frau Sperling held Miss Jacobs
even for the first four games. but
thereafter it was a rout Employing
her famed chop strokes with deadly
effect. Miss Jacobs held complete
control of the situation. DemoraliZed
by the Californian's deadly accurate
play, Frau Sperling offered hardly
any resistance at all in the second
set
Mrs. Moody drove with great
strength and accuracy Throughout
the match her Australian opponent
exploited probably the best forehand
in women's tennis, but Helen was
much too cagey to fall victim to it

COMMUNICATIONS DUE
FOR CHANGE IN POLICY
Confirmation Of Commissioners
Opens Way to Shape Exten-
sive Program.

Some sweeping changes in policy
governing the operation of all modes
of communications, including radio
broadcasting. may be expected shortly,
now that the seven members of the
Federal Communications Commission
have been confirmed following search
ing scrutiny of its members by the
Senate.
Since last July the F. c. c. has been
fupctioning more or less in low gear,
because all of its members were recess
appointees, subject to Senate con-
f1rmation. This did not come until
last week, when the Senate approved
the presidential nominations, but
only after the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee had subjected
the two Radio Commission hold-over
members-Chairman E. o. Sykes and
Col. Thad E. Brownie more than
cursory examination, primarily In
connection with broadcasting regula-
ton. Senator Bilbo of Mississippi
carried his political feud with Judge
Sykes to the Senate, but was unsuc-
cessful in blocking confirmation.
The seven members of the F. G. C.
are now fully qualified, and their terms
of office are: Chairman Sykes, Missis-
sippi Democrat, seven-year term from
July /; Col. Brown, Ohio Republican,
six years; Paul A. Walker, Oklahoma
Democrat, five years; Norman s.
Case, Rhode Island Republican, four
years: DR.. Irwin Stewart, Texas DEM
ocrat, three years; George Henry
Payne, New York Republican. two
years. and Aiming s. Prall, New York
Democrat, one year. Prall, former
Representative, has been assured of
reappointment next July for q seven

1t has apparently remained for a

wanted to use it in one of our Songs
From the Films programs. We couldn't
decide how to work it. And then it
occurred to us that the obvious thing
to do was to work it exactly as 1t was
in the film" Securing permission
from the movie people, he visited their
projection room and saw several dozen
runnings Of The Three Little Pigs"
Then he got his big idea.
Immediate Success.
An orchestrator and secretary re-
turned to the projection room with
him. They took down every detail
instrumental and verbal Then, even
though the screen version depends, as
he says, for so per cent of its appeal,
they worked out continuity abso-
lutely clear to the blind" listening
audience Even the three little pigs
were properly impersonated, and an
adequate voice was found among the
staff artists for the big, bad wolf.
That it was an immediate success on
the air, writes Watts, is attested by
the way the recordings are now SELL
ing. Then Watts undertook to do
Disney's Pied Piper" for the radio,
again with success. Each Of these
Silly Symphonies" he points out, ran
to about 20 pages of piano score and
so pages of full score, all Of which
had to be written, arranged and
copied.
1T seemed to be rather a lot of
time and trouble and paper to be
spent on a six or seven-minute broad

these Silly Symphonies were not so
complicated they wouldn't be so good.
In future, if anybody asks, Who's
