The Georges Radio ana Teie-

Judge Edward M. Curran ex-
cluded the jury and called con-
ference in his chambers to hear
the appliance store presidents
demands for the polygraph test.
Mr.. .Wasserrnan told the Judge
he also wanted Mills and John
Dwyer, lawyer for Mills. to subs

detector.
He said he had been told by
Attorney Louis C. Cosdon who
learned from another lawyer.

Both MIR. Cosdon and Mr..

Judge Curran ordered the trial
resumed and declined to order

THE FUTURE-The recording
Of television programs on mag
netized tape rather than film is
getting a little closer. One of
the things revealed by David
Sarnoff, board chairman of RCA.
when he addressed the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers
this week, was that the tape
recorder was out of the labora-
tory into the field test stage. The
new device ultimately will re-
place both the kinescope record
ing and motion picture film in
television, a number Of experts
believe. 1t can be used to repro
duce both black-and-white end
color shows. more faithfully
than film. How many years it
will be undergoing field tests
at NBC. Mr.. Sarnoff doesn't say.
He did report substantial
progress" of another sector of the
television front. the development
of the electronic light amplif1er.
This is the device which will
replace the bulky TV picture
tube with a fiat wall screen. The
present experimental amplifier
achieves a ratio of about 20-to-1;
the goal. said Mr.. Sarnoff, is
amplification at the rate Of
100-to-1.
The other news on the seem
tific front comes today from the
Emerson Radio and Phonograph
Corp. The word from there is
that "Automation is now in ex-
tensive use" in assembling the
components of all radios using
printed circuits. Letting automa-
tons put together the radios may
be fine from a money-Saving
standpoint, but the boys out
there had better be careful.
They'd better remember "R.U.R."
and keep a firm grip on that
gadget'S controls. It may rebel
and go into business for itself.
