Show visitors will find the 1887
models completely restyled from
bumper to bumper, and there are
many surprises in store for the
thousands who will attend the
show-today-tonight-Sun Sunday or
next week.
For 1887 the automobile indus
try has taken the almost unprece-
dented step of creating entirely
new cars for the second year in
a row. The practice in years past
has been to follow a good car by
retaining many dies and most of
the machinery. This time the
motor makers have elected to pur-
sue success even more vigorously
by creating new cars with so many
additional features and improve
mentS that buyers will find 1t diff
ficult to resist their appeal.
Luxury Returns
Safety, comfort and economy are
all keynotes of the new 1887
models. Luxury has come back
into it's own after a long depres-
sion layoff. Streamlining is more
pronounced, representing another
step toward the ultra-streamlined
car of the future.
Every manufacturer is empha-
sizing safety. Practically every
feature is based on safety and
engineers agree that the 1887
models are the safest vehicles
that modern science can pro-
duce. All through the new cars
is evidence of careful research
conducted by all makers. It may
be truthfully said that every mo-
The Washington times., 1936-11-14

torist in America has had a part
in designing the new cars for
1887.
The Safety Panel
A study of motor accidents has
brought about one Of the most
important changes that is found
on many of the new models.
This is the safety instrument
panel, with all knobs set in
recesses so that the panel pre-
sents a flat surface. The flexible
steering wheel is another safety
factor. 1t is not likely to break
off and cause injury in case OF
an accident.
Steel construction is in Uni
verSal use. New methods Of brac-
ing have been perfected so that
the 1897 car can Withstand a far
more severe shock than any OF
its predecessors. In proVing g
grounds tests, these new cars
were turned over, rolled down
hills and bounced along deeply
pitted roads without serious in'
jury to either car or occupants.
Brakes Improved
Brakes have been improved to
provide softer pedal action and
quicker. smoother and more even
stops. The airplane-type shock alb
sorber has been adopted by the
motor industry to improve riding
comfort and aid safety. Added
StabilizerS reduce Sway1ng on

As Radio Personality, Says Professor

Gthing to improve his radio manner.
There was time when the Presidents
radio voice had an extraordinary. ap-
peal. It was well modulated and low
pitched, and when he turned on his
flreside technic he could bring tears
to the eyes of even the Republicans.
But for some reason his voice has
changed, become too loud and shrill,
with the result that the greatest radio
personality in the country has gone
definitely sour"
Now here In Washington, especially
among the Democratic party leaders,
them's almost fighting words, for it Is
upon that appealing and persuasive
radio voice Of the President that they
will depend to a large extent for their
vocal electioneering efforts during the
presidential campaign this Fall. And

near equaling Franklin D. Roosevelt

Reaches Golden Jubilee.

ID Ado, or rather wireless as it first
~ was called, in 1886 has reached
its golden jubilee. The records Of
the Patent Office will substantiate
this statement.
That makes the science consider
ably older than the generally accepted
belief-even q few years before the
Marconi developments Of the 90s.
which, however, were the first to
demonstrate some of its possibilities.
It was Thomas A. Edison, who on
October S. obtained a patent under
an application he had filed April
Z, the year before, for q device
described as q method of electric
telegraphing or signaling by induc-
ton without the use Of wires"
So, a celebration is regarded as
in order, and broadcasting Is making
plans to do so in May. It will have
special programs to celebrate the
first step in this country toward
what later became the modern
method Of communication. The golden
jubilee will be under auspices Of
the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation,
of which Owen D. Young Is national
chairman.

Democrats are planning to schedule
their keynote speakers for night ses-
sions-and there Is a possibility that
other night sessions will also be held
in order to gain the greatest possible
audiences.
With three networks broadcasting
from the convention halls, practically
every moment of the two conventions
will be on the air over one or the
other chain. N. B. c. and G. B. S.
together will link about 200 stations
throughout the United States, while
the Mutual chain will link the super
power WLW, Cincinnati, which, with
its 100000 watts, is the most powerful
station in the world; the 50,000-watt
WOR, Newark; WGN, Chicago; the
5,000-watt CKLW, Windsor-Detroit,
and various other stations which may
be added.
At both Cleveland and Philadelphia
sound insulated booths overlooking the
convention halls will be installed by
the political parties for each of the
networks, the latter providing the
technical equipment. Microphones on
the rostrum. lapel microphones that
can be carried anywhere on the con-
vention floor and a special control
system for broadcasts by important
delegates as we'll as the regular COM
mentators and announcers of the radio

is understood to be planning to utilize
its recently perfected tiny micro-wave
transmitter, which can be carried with
a microphone to any desired point, to
feed into its regular control board.
HERBERT L. PE1TEY' secretary Of
= the Federal Communications
Commission, last week resigned to
join the executive staff of radio sta
ton WIN of New York, operated by
the Loew Theater interests in collabo-
ration with Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer.
The resignation becomes effective
May l. No successor to the F. c. c.
vacancy has yet been indicated.
Pettey went into the Federal service
as secretary of the old Federal Radio
Commission, predecessor of the F. C..
c., after having served as radio direc-
tor of the Democratic National Com
mittee during the 1899 campaign. A
native of Kansas City, he formerly
was in the film distributing business
with Metro-G Goldwyn- Mayer there and
later worked for r. G. A.-Photophone
He was a member of the Interdepart-
mental Committee which recommended
scrapping the Radio Commission in
favor of communications board with
jurisdiction over wire as well as wire
less services.
His joining the New York station in
a commercial capacity, it is under
stood, will signalize a campaign to
build it up as mouthpiece for
M-G-M motion picture interests. This
is the station over which Maj. Bowes
built his reputation with his first
amateur hours before going to net
work. Pettey recently had rejected
offers of the Democratic committee to
head up its 1886 radio campaign.
