Jim Preston asserts that both Sen ate ‘and House have already demon- strated how little they care to have the Nation listen to them, preferring a limited audience of their conferees and the galleries and the dissemina tion of their verbal activities through the news columns and the Congres- sional Record. Senator Howell of Nebraska. he = once introduced a resolution asking Army and adio_experts of broad casting the Senate's sessions, but nothing ever came of the proposal. President Harding's first message, de livered personally, was broadcast from the Senate chamber by station NAA. at Arlington, but the ether waves did not carry beyond Philadelphia, ac- cording to reports that later came to Mr. Preston. A large hook-up with WE WCAP broadeast President Har later meesage, and that was consid- erably more successful. Mr. Preston recalls that Kansas City asked the reason for the peculiar swishing sound while the ‘President delivered that message. It was found to have been caused by the turning of heavy cards upon which the President had his mes- sage written. The National Broadcasting Co.'s hook-up of 38 stations for President Coolidge's address in the House on the anniversary of the birth of George Washington Tuesday will be the most ‘widely broadcast ceremony ever known on_Capitol Hill. The House several years ago held nd memorial services for a departed mem- ber avhich were successfully broadcast from the chamber. But the House never took to i1adio as a fixture. A microphone rested on a table on the rostrum one whole session several years ago in order to carry the mem- bers’ speeches to the cloakrooms and to the press gallery anterooms, but not beyond. While the vicarious method of attending the sessions was con- venient to recumbent Congressmen and newspaper men, the “mike” was ruled a nuisance by the House and eventually discarded. Through WJZ, New York, and a network of seven affiliated stations the fourth Victor concert of the 1927 wseries will be presented tonight by Mary Garden, soprano, of the Chicago Grand Opera Co.; Emilio de Gogorza, baritone, and Hans Barth, pianist.

Mabel Sneed, a clerk in the Inter- state Commerce Commission, has been awarded a verdict for $18,000 damages against the Capital Trac- tion Co. for personal injuries sus- tained while boarding a car of the company at New Jersey avenue and C street November 16, 1923. The plaintiff throughout the week’s trial rested on an iron cot before the jury in Circuit Division 2, Justice Siddons presiding, leaving the cot at inter- vals to testify as to her injuries and to consult with her counsel, Alvin L. Newmyer, Milton King and A. W. Jacobson. In defense of the suit, which was for $50,000 damages, counsel for the railroad had erected in the court- room a replica of the rear platform of a street car to show how the door of the car operates. The company denied responsibility for the injuries and offered in evidence a release signed by the plaintiff about two months after the accident, accept- a settlement. 1726 gy g:.' ‘N w430=32 Ninth St. N-W. 3245 M St. N.
