Thirty amateur wireless operators from Washington, representing the Washington Radio Club, are planning to attend the annual convention of the third amateur radio district, in Phila- delphia next Saturday and Sunday, and have engaged a special coach for the trip.

If the plan is adopted and proves successful after trial in this district it is proposed that it be adopted in all districts throughout the country. The Poin- dexter bill, in which the main point at issue among the amateurs is the pro= posal to place in the hands of a com- mission, composed of three or four men, the regulation of all radio com- munication in this country, i expect- ed to meet with unanimous opposition by the convention. Through the efforts of S. Kruse, as. sociate electrical engineer, bureau of standards, Washington, an excellent and interesting program has been ar- ranged for the various meetings. Ad- dresses will be made by Charles A. Service, K. B. Warner and F. H.

Arrange- ments have been completed by Elliott Woods, superintendent of the Capitol building and grounds, for the use of the old Washington Bible, which is the property of the Masonic Lodge, St. John’s No. 1, in New York city. When Mr. Woods saw the press dis- patches stating that Mr. Harding would like to use the old Washington Bible he at once wrote Mr. Harding and received a reply stating that the new chief executive would esteem it an konor to seal his oath on the Bible used for a similar purpose by the first President after he had refused to be made king of the infant nation.
