Frozen greens of winter raise new
problems in golf. They're hard
enough to get to in summer, but
when they're frozen tighter than a
usurer's heart it happens to be
quite a trick to hold the ball on 'em.
The best way to get there is to gauge
the bounce as nearly as possible and
pitch the ball short, hoping for a
kick that will end the ball on the
green.
Pitch shots are out. A pitched
ball bounces high and ends away
over the objective. The cagy gent

Your Radio Dial Will Be Given a New Twist March 29
By NEA Service

Fifty million radio push buttons are going to be wrong.
 At 3 a. m. on March 29, 795 of the 883 standard broadcast radio stations in the U. s. will shift their frequencies to new assign ments recently allocated to them by the Federal Radio Commission.
 To millions of radio owners who find their favorite stations by twist ing a knob, the changes will in most cases mean merely twisting to a slightly higher point on the dial. To soms 10,000,000 other radio set owners. whose tuning in the past has consisted simply of pushing a button, the change will mean: (a) screw driver, Q mechanical mind, and the ability to follow fairly sim pie directions or (b) visit from the radio repair man.
 HERE'S HOW
 THEY SHIFT
 The accompanying dial shows in general how the shift will be &C., complished:
 All stations now operating on chapnels from $50 to 720 kilocycles retain their present channels.
 The stations now operating be- tween TAO and 780 kc move up 10 kc. For example, WIZ, on 760 now, moves to 770 on March 20.
 Stations between 790 and 870 kc move up 20 kc.
 The stations between 880 and l450 kc move up 30 kc.
 Clear channel stations between 1460-1490 Ike shift to 1500-15 kc
 Local stations now using 1900 kc move down to 1490 kc.

 The changes are being made in conformity with Mexico's ratifica- ton last year of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement reached at Havana in December, 1887. The agreement, signed by Canada, Cuba, Mexico, and the U. S., was designed to permit the 1900 North American stations to operate simultaneously with a minimum of interference.
 Because Mexico's high-powered stations may be used under the agreement to serve Mexican na- tionals" certain objectionable broad casters. many of whom went to Mexico after being barred from the American air for undesirable pro- grams, will have their power mat erially cut down, If they are not put completely out of business.

uoS, Ae v hyElhu OI DreaCn-Caklng future possibilities that have been tested experimentally during tele- visions year in the wilderness. Out stand!ng among these is full color television, developed to a high de- gree in the laboratories of the Col tinbia Broadcastlng System.
 IT'S ALL DONE
 WITH FILTERS
 Technically, color television is relatively simple. It is based, as are all moving pictures Qncluding tele- vision itselO, on the fact that the eye remembers a scene long after 1t changes. Thus, by sending in rapid succession what may be thought of as red, green, or blue) the eye remembers each color long enough to blend 1t with the succeed ing colors-thereby seeing in full natural color.
 Actually, of course, colors are not sent through the air. The television camera scans its object from behind rapidly whirling red, green and blue filters. A wheel with red, green and blue filters on the receiving set spins In synchronization with those on the camera-transforming the black and white picture received into full color.
 So far color tests have not passed the laboratory stage and color tele- vision is still good bit away from your home.
 A much nearer development Is the possibility of network television. This is a problem because reception Is not assured much over 40 miles although signals have been re- ceived much farther. Connecting coaxil cable for chain broadcasting is almost prohibitively expensive. NetWork-broadcasts are envisioned, however, through the use of tai, automatic relay towers which pick tip the weakening television waves and Sejuvenate them with additional powtr automatically. Both General Electric and NEG have successfully tested such towers.
 EVEN JULES VERNE WOULD TAKE NOTICE
 Another successful experiment. to make Jules Verne take notice (and turn newsreel men graY was the recent projection of television on ! to a full sized 20 by 15 foot movie theater screen-bringing closer the reality of attending your neighbor- hood theater and seeing the news as 1t happens.
 How soon will these potentialities |materiali2e? Because of their cost, a lot depends on how soon the r. 0. c. allows television to go ahead on a commercial basis-and take ir some money. Before the Commission okays commercialization, television must prove that present sets could be adapted to future technical ad- vances. Otherwise sale of sets would tend to freeze progress.
 Are the present engineering standards sufficiently flexible? That is one thing the F. o. c. hopes to learn from its hearings.

 This brought from Representa- tive Eugene Cox, anti-New Deal Democrat of Georgia. the angry declaration that SPAB's creation was tragic" since it was design ed "to tie the hands of Knudsen and make a funky out of Stet- tinius." But MT. Knud n thought htat the effect of the new agency on the defense pro- gram would be good, and MT Stettinius was most pleased with his new assignment
 Of prime importance to Mir. Knudsen and to other defense of fcials was the fact that the new agency promised an end to fac tional feuding between defense agencies, a cessation of jurisdic- tional strife which has damag- ed morale, confused business, and slowed up defense.

WHITTIER, NEW ALASKA LUNIINARY

Draw big red circle around the word Whittier" on the map of Alaska, at the newly designat ed spot for the future southern terminus of the Alaska Railroad.
 The secretary of the interior has decreed it. Whittier will be the name of the new port. If plans of Ickes ct al. carry on per sched ule, Whittier within a year or so will be the big transfer point of traffic between ocean and rail lines serving Interior Alaska. And that traffic promises to be- come heavier making Whittier permanently conspicious in fu- ture Alaska activities.
 Suggested by proximity to Whittier Glacier, named after the beloved American poet, the town of Whittier, if it endures like the writings of its namesake long will be a bright luminary to the country.
 But that is not to say that Whit tier will deprive Seward, Alaska named after another great Am erican-of its luster. It is gratify ing to Alaskans to know that the town on Resurrection Bay is car rying on strong, more blessed with activities today than for many a year. Defense and other activities have brought new life to Seward and the promise it will not vanish from the map, but also become a base of vast importance in the development of the marvelously resourceful Kenai peninsula and the vital strategic region of western AL aska.
 Now that the powers that be at Washington have seen fit to give fitting title to the new Alaskan town, may they also find time to go another step and eliminate the multiple names designating various Alaskan towns and phys ical features.
 The Moose creeks, Caribou creeks, Sawmill bays, Willow creeks, Eldorado creeks-one or more in every portion of the vast territory-are a constant aggra- vation. Many complaints are heard of mail for the places go- ing awry, being sent to the wrong place. Why continue the endless aggravatfon and the an cient abuse.
 There's plenty of names emi- nent in American history = or beautiful Indian names-deserv- ing of perpetuation on the map of Alaska. Let's have them.

DEFENSE ALPHABET SOUP

For eight years, the country has struggled to master the New Deals alphabet soup. And now just as most people had become accustomed to SEC, FILA, NLRB ard AAA, along comes a new and advanced lesson in the alpha bet-OPM. OEM, OPACS. And the last is the worst of all.
 Not one person in 8 thousand in Washington can tel you what those five letters stand for. They call it "O-Packs" and let it go at that. Actually OPACS stands for Office of Price Administra- ton asd Civilian Supply.
 So to help the struggling stu dent of the new defense alpha bet, here is primer in the de- fense agencies:
 The defense commission which was set up in May of last year is now an empty shell. Reorganiza- ton has left it merely a name. The major defense agency is now the "OEM," or Office for Finer gency Management.
 Under the OEM are six impor- tant agencies, of which the most important is the CPM (Ofice ot Production ManagemenD.
 Next in importance under OEM is OP'ACS, headed by Leon Hen- derson. Created only few weeks ago, this price regulating agency has been on the front pages ever since.
 The other four agencies under OEM are the National Defense Mediation Board, the Division of Housing Coordination, the Office of Civilian Defense (LaGuradia) and the Office of Coordination of Commercial and Cultural Rela- ton Between the American Re publics (Rockefeller).
 The last one has such an un- wieldy title it has come to be known simply as the Rockefeller Office. Nobody knows quite why this office is part of the defense setup.
 For a complete picture, you have to go one step further and break down the OPM into four divisions = Production under John Biggers, Priorities under Edward Stettinius, Purchases ur der Donald Nelson, and Labor under Sidney Hillman.
 This takes care of everybody except one big man William Knudsen. His name belongs high on the chart, for he and Hillman run the OPM. But high as he is if you want to embarrass him. ask him to give you a complete description of the structural set up of the defense agencies.
