in this respect was again demonstrated
during the big Eastern floods last week.
The "air alert" network naturally
is used largely for War Department
messages, but other Government
agencies are also permitted to use 1t
as a measure of economy. Nineteen
governmental agencies sent 5,482,033
words over the network last year at
a saving, according to Gen. Allison's
testimony, of about $123, 900 in ordi-
nary commercial rates. Gen. Allison,
responding to questions, asserted that
it would be too expensive to utilize
commercial stations instead of Army
stations for the 22,875, ,435 words of
Army traffic carried last year. He
added, however, that in the event Of
trouble, the Government might find
it necessary to take over most radio
stations due to the danger Of their
use in broadcastins propaganda.

Other amateurs in other flooded
sections probably have equally bril-
liant achievements that should be re-
counted, but it is too early at this
writing to obtain a full list of their
names and account of their heroics.
One thing the recent floods definitely
proved, even more eloquently than
the Mississippi and New England
floods of few years ago or the Flor
ida hurricanes and the California
dam break-in all of which disasters
the amateurs played their usual res
cue roles-and that is that they have
proved worthy of Uncle Sans conf
dence in them in allocating special
bands OF radio waves to their fine
hobby. Uncle Sam, too, has been
fighting the good cause in opposing
commercial interests and less far
seeing nations of the world at inter-
national radio conferences, who have
repeatedly tried to take these wave
lengths away from Americas hams"
THE 10000 blind persons in the
United States, denied the priv
ilege of reading newspapers and mag
azines or seeing movies and stage
shows, depend on radio for much of
their entertainment and enlighten-
ment. Networks and many stations,
keeping their welfare in mind, broad
cast daily five-minute resumes of the
days programs. These resumes, how
ever, have aroused objection among
listeners.
To help the sightless, the American
Foundation for the Blind, Of which
Robert B. Irwin is executive director,
has started campaign to combat the
rising opposition to program resumes
The Foundation can sponsor without
reserve a gracious service without
which blind radio listeners might be
unable to select the entertainment
and educational features prepared for
the day." says Irwin.
In designing its own talking book
radio combinations, the Foundation
long ago decided to equip the ma
chimes with Braille dials so that the
apparatus is independently in the
hands of the blind operator. Daily
resumes multiply the usefulness OF
radio to the blind many times. am
sure no one would object If the true
reason for the service were known"
Some 1000 radios have been dis
tributed to the blind by the Founda-
ton, and the Red Cross and National
Broadcasting Co. cooperate to supply
without cost all labor needed in pre-
pairing the expensive plates used in
Braille notebooks for the use of the
blind in conjunction with the N. B. G
