THE PAST is GONE

That which has happened before
Like yesterday is gone and past,
Today we start anew with faith
And courage that will last.
Since time begun the faith Of man
Has thus been put to test,
While through the ages it has proved
When challenged mans courage is
at best.
And so without regrets we put behind
That which is gone and past,
Then light of heart we look ahead
To happiness that will forever last.

Demonstrations for groups of in

days.
On First Road Trip.
1t was only last year that R. c. A.
started experimenting with Amer
ica's first portable television set.
1t was an extension to the tele-
vision transmitter in the Empire
State Tower in New York. Just as
the wandering microphones go out
in search of news and adventure,
so the rambling television outfit
brought the experimental receiving
sets installed around the New York
area sidewalk interviews, night club
entertainment, glimpses of skating
stars in action and other bits of
metropolitan life. It ventured far
ther into the country and covered
spectacular fire on Wards Island.
1t brought excellent scenes 26 miles
away, from Westchester County and
Long Island.
And now the two trucks that con-
stitute the first telemobile station
licensed as W2XBT-are on their
first road trip and making their
first stop in Washington.
The visitor finds the two trucks
parked, rather far apart, alongside
the Agriculture Building, joined by
rubber hose which encase the neces-
sary electric impulses.
In front of one truck is the cam
era. known as the iconoscope 1t

Then automatically the plate
throws off electrons which are con-
verted by the reproducing device,
large, funnebshaped tube. called
the kinescope, into the pictures in
terms of electric energy. In other
words, the scenes photographed are
translated into equivalent electrical
symbols The pictures turn into
wavy lines, somewhat as sound
looks when it's translated into sight.
The pictures, in their electrical
state, are thrown in correct order on
a fuorescent screen at the end of
the tube. The electric impulses
then are flashed to the receiving
station and find their way to the
receiving sets, where they are con-
vertec pack into their original
images and tossed on a small screen.

duplicate in electrical impulses.

Special Numbers
Investigators Urged
To Clean Up Racket
Capt. Little Proposes
Deputies to Operate
Here and Nearby

Belief a special group of num-
bers' investigators on the Metro
politan Police force, sworn in as
deputy United States marshals for
Maryland and Virginia as well,
could make it hot" for local num-
bers" operators was expressed today
by Capt. George NJ Little, chief of
the vice squad.
Capt. Little said he hoped some
such arrangement could be made at
the Tri-State Law Enforcement
Conference. scheduled here for
February 15 Commissioner Melvin
c. Hazen announced yesterday invi-
tations had been sent to nearby
Maryland and Virginia officials to
attend.
The conference is designed to
stop rackets, notably numbers" in
the Washington area.
Capt. Little pointed out that If
numbers investigators on the
Washington police force were given
dual authority things could be
made so hot for the little fellows
(pick-up mem that after serving q
few tricks In the penitentiary they
might turn States evidence and en-
able the courts to prosecute the big
Shots"
Capt. Little said he believed the
United States marshals for Mary
land and Virginia have the power
to deputize any one they see fit,
including officers already having
jurisdiction in the District.
Something on this order was
worked during prohibition. he said,
when Metropolitan policemen were
made Federal agents at the same
time and worked out of the city as
far as Laurel, Nd, to apprehend
bootleggers.
It is known that since the Wash
ington police have frightened up on
the numbers" racket, numbers"
headquarters have been moved
across the District line into Mary
land and Virginia.
Capt. Little added that his pres
ent squad does not have sufficient
personnel for such operations. A
special squad of from II to Is men
would be needed in addition to the
present vice squad, he said.

BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

A group of notables from Capitol
Hill gathered today at Fourteenth
street and the Maitland they said
they were glad to be there and it was
cold. Not very startling assertions,
but the point is they were being
seen-not merely heard-by knot
OF people in room half a mile away.
For this was Washingtons first
demonstration of Americas first and
only mobile television outfit-the
news reel of the future, the observer
on wheels that brings to your eyes
what it sees, to your ears what 1t
hears.
The first showing of the telemobile
unit developed by the Radio Corp.
of America brought to the working
press" and to editors and business
executives of Washington news
papers, standing before five receiv-
ing sets at the National Press Club,
some familiar scenes and then the
images and voices of Speaker Bank
head, Representative Edith Nourse
Rogers of Massachusetts,, Majority
Leader Rayburn and Minority
Leader Martin.
The lights in the receiving room
flashed off, and the screens back of
the receiving sets began to reflect
what the camera and microphone
in front of the east wing of the
Agriculture Department Administra-
ton Building were picking up.
Happy to Be Guinea Pig.
Speaker Bankhead said he was
happy to be "a sort of guinea pig
for this great experiment." But
the Speaker was pretty cold, and
when he started to speak of what
television would mean to 10000, 900
Americans his chattering teeth
brought out: "One hundred and
thirty people"
But he was emphatic in his praise
OF this most marvellous and
mysterious invention"
Asked by Bill Craighill, N. B. C..
announcer, what effect he thought
televising Congress might have on
It's members, Mr.. Bankhead replied:
well, some Of them might have
to take their feet off their chairs
and straighten up a little"
The Speaker added, more seriously,
tnat ne was sure it wouldn't affect
their patriotic service"
Mrs. Rogers said she wanted her
hosts, the R. c. A. and the National
Broadcasting Co., to know how much
she appreciated the honor of being
part OF the Capitals first field tele-
vision demonstration.
Meaning for the Future.
She spoke of what television would
mean IN the future. She added that,
being from New England, she didn't
mind the cold out there in front of
the camera. When the announcer
suggested that Congress might do
something about the weather, she
said she was sure it would do what
1t could. since it usually was ready
to tackle anything.
Minority Leader Martin said it
was hard to realize what television.
when it is fully developed, will mean
to the world at large. When it comes
time to televise "the Hill," he added,
Congress will take it in stride.
Before these Sidewalk" inter-
views were brought to ,lae fascinat-
ed audience the camera roamed
around a while, bringing into focus
the Washington Monument and a
group of Government buildings.

Meanwhile. Representative Jen-
nings Randolph of West Virginia,

in the proposal for local self-gov-
ernment.
Attendance at the FORUM" he
said, will be looked upon as a
demonstration of the interest of
District residents in self-govern-
ment."
Congressman to Attend.
Representative Randolph is spon-
sor of a resolution which would
give the residents of the District
both local suffrage and national
representation. Mr.. Finch felt the
time appropriate to make the ques-
ton subject of public discussion.
In addition to Mr.. Randolph,
members of Congress expected to
attend include Senators Edward H.
Burke of Nebraska, Arthur Capper
of Kansas, William H. King of Utah
and j. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois;
Representatives Hatton Summers of
Texas, Charles Mclaughlin of
Nebraska and William Byron of
Maryland.
Senator Capper is the Senate
sponsor of a bill which would allow
the District national representa-
ton. Senator King is chairman of
the Senate District Committee.
Local leaders lending their sup
port to the rally are L. A. Car
ruthers, president of the Federation
of Citizens Association; John Col

trict?" They will include Seton
Darr, newly elected president of
the District Bar Association; Will
liam A. Roberts. former peoples
counsel for the District, and Will
lam H. Mondell, vice president OF
the Suffrage Association.
It is understood Mr.. Mondell will
outline arguments for suffrage in
connection with the bill drawn up
by the association. Mr.. Roberts, 1t
is thought, will attempt to tie in
the suffrage movement with the
proposals on reorganization of the
District government.
A final meeting was held in Mr..
Roberts office last night, where
last minute details were arranged.
Mr.. Roberts said some concern was
expressed over the fact that only
TOO chairs will be available He indi-
Gated a full house is expected.

Amid u. S. Plenty,

Special Dispatch to The Star.

BERLIN, Jan. 27-Minister of
Agriculture Walther Dare today
pictured the United States as land
where millions were starving in the
midst of plenty.
Opening the annual Agricultural
Fair, he told Germany's farmers
that in the United States every
thing was to be had in stores, but
100000 unemployed and their
families are starving"
National socialism, he said, con-
sidered 1t better that the entire
nation be protected from hunger"
rather than have such an alleged
situation.
