 British Tests Show Way
 The programs offered by the Brit ish Broadcasting Corporation give an idea of what television-on a grander, more highly perfected scale will offer its audience in America.
 Two of B. B. C.'s most successful broadcasts were the Coronation pro- cession and the Wimbledon tennis championship finals. It rained dur ing the coronation. Nevertheless, lookers-in got a clear picture of the regal parade. They saw Queen Mary in her coach. They saw the new King and Queen in theirs, faces clearly distinguishable through the rain and the glass of the coach win dows. American experts watching this achievement were highly im- pressed.
 The tennis show was even better. Bright sunlight helped. Two cam eras were used, one suspended from a high column giving a general view of the court; the other rowing to pick up high points of play in close up. A commentator at a control station could switch at will from one to the other camera. The flight of the ball was clearly visible, the def- milton equal to, perhaps better than, ordinary movies.
 The success of these broadcasts conjures up visions of World Series and football tele-casts. Presidential inaugurals and historic occurrences brought right into the parlor. Amer ican equipment is good enough to do 1t, when, as and If 1t becomes commercially feasible to inaugurate regular programs.

 New York, Aug. 16-The worlds best television system is in the mak- ing for American radio fans. It will have clearer pictures, better pro- grams, wider reception and more perfect sets than any other coun- try is able to provide.
 Were these not the aims of tele- vision engineers, 1t would be pos- sible to have @ form of televisioa tomorrow. The transmitting and receiving equipment have passed every laboratory test to which they have been put. Already the equipment is better than that in use in Great Britain, the only country in which regularly sched- uled programs are being broad cast. It is infinitely superior to the equipment with which French are experimenting at the Paris fair and which the Germans use for Hitler's propaganda.
 Even though you can't yet buy a television receiver, don't think there is anything backward about American television. The reverse is true. American engineers show ed the way to England six years ago when a group of British experts came over to inspect the American layout and went home with blue prints and everything.
 The reason for the researchers ideal of perfection is that they want to give the public something for the $500 investment in television re- ceiver. Programs and widespread reception are essential to this.
 Only Researchers Look in Now
 Approximately eighty television receiving sets arc in operation around metropolitan New York, mostly in the homes of researchers, Farthest away is one in Westport, Conn, AZ miles from R. O. As trans hitting station atop the Empire State building tower. About dozen television receivers are installed in a radius of ten miles around the Philco transmitting station in North Philadelphia and experts are look ing in." There are three or four tele- vision laboratories experimenting elsewhere in the United States. That's the whole television audience so far. ..i
 The sixty or so American engi- neers who Hook in" are able to see pictures of things happening at a distance as naturally as MT. John @. Spivis and family hear the daily radio broadcasts.
 The receiving set looks like a big radio with a complicated control. The frame of the picture is about ' by 10 inches. Sound accompanies action. The greenish color of pie lures in earlier television reception was lacking in a program viewed at the Philco laboratories. The tone" of the reception was practically identical to that of black and white movies. A| ,. Clarity Is Amazing
 So clear are the televisioned pie lures that the motion of the second- hand of an ordinary watch, life-size, was clearly visible several feet away.

Lambertson who died in Maine It will surprise many who think of the saxophone in the breath with the shuddering moaning jazz mania of the days and early 192Os to learn that the was Adolphe Sax, German, and it is probably safe enough to he hardly had the St. Louis Blues in mind at the time As matter of fact, the saxophone once rose to serious heights both Debussy and Richard Strauss composing music especially for the instrument All that, however, doesn't dim the luster of Mrs Larr bersons courage nor detract from Maine's traditional fortitude Mrs. Lambertson not only played the first saxophone solo, but she lived to be 72.
