The ofncers and Executive Com

Of the new desensitizer. A committee
has been appointed to evaluate re-
suits and a definite and complete

the efficacy Of the preparation have
been conflicting. and 1t is felt that
possibly the public and the profession
have been led to expect more from it

WO.WAY RADIO SET
IS TESTED BY POLICE
Ultra High Frequency System
Featured by Compactness
and Range.

A new type Of ultra high frequency,
two-way radio transmission being ex-
perimented with by the Metropolitan
Police Department will receive its final
tests within the next few weeks.
For the last two months, Lieut..
James Kelly, supervisor Of the police
radio system. has been working with
Graybar Electric Co. engineers to de-
velop the set. designed to provide effi-
cient reception and Transmission in
compact unit. The work has had
the support of Police Supt. Ernest w.
Brown and Inspector L. !. H. Edwards,
his assistant.
The apparatus required for the
police scout cars weighs only about
IS pounds and could be operated with
the same battery and electrical sys-
tenn used on the one-way sets now
in use It is 20 inches long, s inches
high and 10 inches deep.
Lieut.. Kelly is now awaiting the
specially designed antenna needed for
efficient reception. The sets operate
on frequency OF S1,lU klloCyCleS aLo
the antenna must be tuned to that
frequency to secure maximum results,
he explained.
"Two-way sets are now in use in
several police departments in thia
country. The set We are working on
we believe will be better than the
others because Of its compactness and
range, but everything Is in an ex-
perimental stage. We are not going
to ask for funds to install them on
our squad cars until 1t has proved
itself. The sets would cost about $500
. piece"
The antenna will be installed on

ing and will be about 100 feet above

PAPER CHARGES
BOYCOTT TO GUILD
Labor Board Hearing in
Seattle Publication Strike
Opens Today.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, September 10.-Attorneys
for the Hearst Publications, Inc. yes
terday charged the American News
paper Guild engaged in q boycott
against the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
prior to the August l3 strike OF
guildsmen, which resulted in the paper
suspending publication.
The charge was made in the Post
lntelligencer's answer to the guilds
complaint before the Regional Labor
Relations Board.
The answer asserted the guild had
no lawful complaint against the
Fost-Intelligencer and no right to
demand unemployment of any mem
ber of the guilds Seattle chapter.
Hearings Begin Today.
Seeking reinstatement of two guild
members discharged by the news
paper, hearing on the complaint was
to begin today. Examiner E. S.
Smith and Malcolm Ross, Labor
Board publications director, will hear
the case. Both arrived yesterday
from Washington.
The guild complained that Frank
M. (Slim) Lynch, photographer, and
Philip Everhardt Armstrong, drama
critic, longtime Post-Intelligencer
= employees, were discharged for guild
activity. 1t called a strike when the
paper ignored its demands for their
Unemployment. The papers manage
ment contends the men were dis
missed for cause.
Claim Boycott Continues.
Yesterdays answer stated in part:
For a long time prior to the
alleged committing of the supposed
grievance upon which the complaint
(the guild seems to rely, the Amer
1can Newspaper Guild and its Seattle
chapter had been engaged in boy
colt Of this respondents Hearst Pub
hcations, Inc) business in publishing
the Seattle PoSt-Intelligencer, and had
recommended that subscribers do not
take the paper and that advertisers
do not advertise therein.
Pursuant to this effort to boycott,
the American Newspaper Guild had
indulged in campaign of vilification.
"The boycott or plan to boycott
still exists and is being actively carried
on" it added as a ground for urging
that the guild be stopped from its
requested action and be adjudged in
contempt of the board.
