The British Admiralty announces that the 5,281-ton German troop transport Rio De Janeiro was tor- pedoed and sunk by the Polish submarine Orzel. The Orzel joined the British fleet last December after a thrilling dash through the Baltic. Although figh ing under the command of the British Admiralty, the Orzel still fliés the Polish flag. TRADE AGREEMENT IS NOW PREDICTED, BRITAIN, RUSSIA LONDON, April 19. — A Soviet Russian spokesman today predict- ed that Great Britain and Russia would soon conclude the long dis- cussed trade agreement which was side-tracked by the Russian-Fin-- nish war. He said he believed that Rus- sia’s differences with Britain over the blockade which centered on the detention of two Russian steamers in the Far East, could be composed.

FCC'S PROBLEMS " ARE TOUGH ONE (Continued from Page One) in the very heart of the television broadcasting range, The narrow band boys (RCA, with its crack about “we're ready for FM any time you are,” is the leader here) say you don't need the wide- band limits to make the public take notice. Of course, both sides hold patents But that isn’t all. M broadcast- ing (and consequently reception) has a horizon limit — like televi- sion. So, if licenses are granted to broadcasting stations in cities, where do the farmers and vil- lagers come in? Also, if FCC granted FM li- censes to every station in the country, where would 45,000,000 radio receiving sets come in? No’ at all! 1so, if FCC gives away tele- vision’s choice wave bands, where will television come in? If you don't think FCC has a headache, put that problem down on paper and try to find the an- swer—but don’t lose your temper and throw your radio set out the window. | FIVE OR TEN YEARS | Mr. Fly and his sextet of ex- perts are being paid to see that march of progress doesn’t | trample right over your pocket- [ by a length and a half in a mile book.
