of possibilities is the Institutes pro-
lection of potential market. For in
stance, estimating the number OF
families in the United States at 30
1000, the fact that there were only
81 ,456,000 radio-homes shows an
ownership saturation of only 694 per
cent. OF the 4,O84 900 sales made
last year. l,O54,O0O were to homes
which had no radios previously con-
sidered a good rate Of conversion" to
radio ownership.
In the field of automobile radios
lies equally encouraging possibilities
In 1882, $4,000 radios were sold for
installation in automobiles. In 1884
this figure had jumped to 10000
with a consequent market value in
crease from S7,150000 to $4,000 900
At the present time radio has become
standard equipment for many models
OF cars.
2l,5O5,OO0 Cars Registered.
Regarding the possibilities in this
field, Radio Retailing says:
LAS of January l, 1885, passenger
car registrations totaled 21,505 900
Passenger car sales in 1884 totaled
2,400,000. OF the 100000 auto-radic
sets sold last year it is estimated that
$4,000 were installed in 1884 model
cars. There are now approximately
| 10000 auto-radio sets in use, or q
market Saturation of 9.3 per cent.
"Of the l9,500,000 passenger cars
now on the road-without radio re-
ceiver facilities-it is fair statement
/ that one-half of these automobile
owners-9, ,750 000-constitute excel

CLARK'S SECURITY
CHANGE OPPOSED
President Fights Exempting
Private Systems From
National Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
With House and Senate at odds
over the provision, President RooSe-
welt today expressed opposition to the
Clark amendment to the social secur-
ity bill exempting private security
systems from the proposed national
plan.
With the House about to vote on
the amendment of Senator Clark,
Democrat, of Missouri, the President
said he believed that all corporations
should be put in the same class.
Fears Burden on Government.
He feared he human temptation
under the Clark proposal would be
for private companies to load their
old people on Government funds and
simply retain the young.
Senate and House conferees have
been unable to agree on this one pro-
poSal.
In this connection, the President
said at his regular press conference
that he has not yet found real labor
pension bill that would get Supreme
Court approval.
BY a 5-to-4 decision. the court de-
clared unconstitutional the railroad
retirement act of last session. Mr..
Roosevelt said he would like to get
q bill but so far all proposals for a
substitute measure ran counter to the
court ruling.
Hopes for Truck Regulation.
Asked if he was going to insist on
oil legislation at this session, the Pres
ident said he did not know.
To an inquiry about bus and truck
regulation, he said he hoped there
could be some legislation.
Questioned about Senator Borah's
must" legislative program and his
November 1 ADJOURNMENT suggestion,
the President laughed heartily, fiicked
his cigarette and suggested that
Steve" Early. his secretary, had a

SCHULTZS FORMER
AIDES TO TESTIFY
Three Mystery Witnesses Are
Awaiting Turns on Stand
Today.
By the Associated Press.


MALONE, N. Y, July 24.-Three
mystery witnesses" who served Dutch
Schultz in various capacities during
his profitable but precarious position
as big-wig of the Bronx beer racket
awaited their turns today to testify
against their former chief
The trio of reluctant witnesses who
have been subpoenaed by the Gov
eminent to assist in its second at
tempt to punish Schultz for income
tax evasion are "Bo" Weinberg, Rocco
Dilarmi and Charlie Miller.
Weinberg was the defendants s
body guard. He was cited for con-
tempt for refusing to give testimony
against his overload during a grand
jury probe of Schultz in 1881.
Dilarmi was a former business
partner of Schultz.
Miller was the telephone man for
the communications system over
which Schultz received orders for
beer. issued edicts to his @henchmen
and in general directed the destinies
of many underworld affairs.
Martin Conboy, former United
States district attorney and special
prosecutor for the case. declined to
say what the nature of their testi-
mony would be. Proceedings moved
with surprising celerity at yesterday s
session The most startling develop
ment was Judge Frederick H. Bryant's
order committing Schultz to jail for
the duration Of the trial.
Because the defense did not press
him, the judge declined to give his
reasons for the order which trans
formed the defendant from a man
about-town," into an inmate of the
jail. The move automatically re-
voked Schultz's $4,000 bail.

For the first time O'Hara

went out of the door before

At these time Won Guerdon

iously skillful. It was this pro-
fessional excellence-far more
than any other quality-that
aroused Juliet's respect and
something else that fell just a

Perhaps there was q crushing
answer somewhere in the uni
verse to his argument, but Juliet
at the moment could not think
of it. All the same, she knew
there was something hollow in
his words and that he probably
was jibing when he uttered
them.

RALPH GIVEN, JR.,
SWORN INTO OFFICE
Son Of Former Judge Takes
Clerkship, Succeeding James
S. Addison.

Ralph Given, jr., son of Judge
Ralph Given, who recently failed to
be reappointed as a Police Court
judge after 43 years as an assistant
district attorney and Judge, was to-
day sworn in as clerk at Police
Court. He replaces James S. Addison,
who was retired as of September l.,
after IS years of service.
Young Given is a native of this
city. He graduated from Western
High School in the class of 1881 and
is now a law student at George
Washington University. He was ap-
pointed by Judge John P. Mcmahon,
a Democrat, despite the fact Judge
Given's failure to receive reappoint-
ment was reported to be because he
was listed as Republican.
Addison's retirement, it was said at
Police Court, was over his protest. He
claims he is only 81 years of age,
while the Government contends he
has reached the age of 70. At his
home today it was declared he is just
on vacation, but 1t was definitely an
nounced at Police Court that he had
been retired.
Appointment of the new clerk came
but a few hours before Walter T..
Casey, who was appointed by the Pres
ident to take Judge Given's place,
was to be sworn into Office. The in
augural ceremonies for the new Judge
are scheduled for this afternoon. In
the meantime, three judges were at
tempting to handle the affairs Of four
