DELEGATES TALK
 ON NAVALPARITY
Britain, Germany Declare Agreement Is Virtually
 Impossible
by FREDERICK KUH

NCnltcu IrcSS Stah -SsS~SktSsa1SsstI
 London, June 4-(UP)-Britisn and German delegates began today series of talks on naval strength. Both British and German sources emphasized the virtual impossibil- ity of agreement.
 It was emphasized also that no specific agreement was desired and that the talks would represent an exchange of information only.
 Germany demands a navy 35 per cent as strong as Britain's or a. bout 100000 tons, with no restric- tions imposed as to the tonnage or type of ship to be built within the total.
 German sources said also that the German delegates un d e r Joachim von Ribbentrop would make no concession of moment.
 Great Britain is willing to con- cede Germany anything like a 35 per cent navy only under an agree ment that would strictly limit ships as to class and size.
 The prospect seemed to be for German entrance into any world naval conference that may be held to replace the Washington and London limitation treaties, with Germany then joining Japan in a demand that any quotas be on the unrestricted basis.
 Between now and the world ne- gotiations, it was intimated in Ber- lin, Germany would build what ships she liked, confident that mo- body would go to war about it. It was added, however, that the building was not likely to be on a big scale because of the expense.
 Sir John simon, foreign minis ter, opened the talks today. He then returned, leaving the discus sions to the delegates and experts.

RADIO COMPASS
 PERFECTED
Drops Fog, Bugbear of Aviators, to Bottom of
 Enemy List

Pittsburg, June 4-Perfection of the radio compass, revolutionary stride in the development of aerial navigation, has dropped fog to the foot of the list of the aviator's bugbears.
 Tt makes blind flying no more difficult than dialing a program on your home receiver and ess hazardous than motoring in the fog" Major J. Nelson Kelly, of New York, said today after a pri- vate demonstration.
 Perfected by William P. Lear, young New York radio engineer, the compass is an ordinary super heterodyne receiver plus few di- rection- finding sgargets, the outfit, with it's loop antenna, weighs no more than 40 pounds. The receiver itself, smaller than some midget radios, may be concealed in the luggage compartment of the cabin or in any other convenient place. It is operated by remote controls. The compass, adapted by the U. S. department of commerce for its blind flying" experiments does everything but mind the baby and darn your socks" Kelly said.
 He added that it is virtually fool-proof.
