RADID CORPORATION TODENY NONOPOLY Counsel Prepares Brief to File With Commission. Opposes Dill Bill. Radio Corporation of America’s side n the radio patent issue that has arisen in connection with the Dill bill aimed at an alleged monopoly in the indus- try 1s that its affiliated sclentists pioneered the radio field and made it possible for millions of people to enjoy Tadio in its present high state of per- fection. The Radio Corporation’s case Temains to be heard by the Senate; patents committee. which has adjourned until February 20. but this much was Jearned from its counsel, Col. Manton avis.

Davis, referring to the cross-license THE E VENING LONG RANGE RADIO ENTERTAINMENT Programs ADLA—WEAF New York—610 —WOR Newark—310 2 00—Sessians chimes bohistra o Witching Hour —WIG Atlantic Clty—1.100 Vrean ~Dinner music agrcements of the smaller manufac- turers and the R.

There was no | possibility of & radio industry until the | eross-licensing of patents permitted the | Jawful making of radio apparatus from restraining trade. these devices | %00k restraints off and made the radio | stry possible.” 3 | m?;: O her words. as Col Davis ex-| lained the situation. it required a pool- | Piaia patents in order to turn out the eomplete radio set with the many mod- em improvements that mav be puts chased on the ma A o ihe initially efficient. oD " scary to the initially el D= | :"{:c}nr;‘ of the sets using the R.

Replacements, he said. | are not restricted by anv of the cross- Jicense agreements, so that a wide mar- Xet ought to be available for tube man- ufa~turers in filling replacement orders ! That the Radio Corporation will put up a stiff fight against the onslaucht directed against it by the Radio Pro- fective Association and others before | the Senate committee has been plainly | indicated. Col. Davis will appear be fore the committee February 21 and | counsel for the General Electric Co. mav also put in an appearance to an- gwer charges that it is part of the al- leged “trust.” ~Mrs. E. Qunn. a former General Electric employe who now is manager of a Cleveland com- pany engaged in maing rectifier tutes, charged the company at the last Senate hearing with seeking to drive her small factory out of existence through ex- pensive hmau;m in its efforts to main- in a monopoly. “The tube feature of the fight against the large radio groups was described as the “bludgeon” wielded over the heads of the small manufacturers in the tes- timony of Arthur D._Lord, receiver in equity for the De Forest Radio Co.| Newark. He claimed that R. C. A. held | no fundamental patents. but retained its hold on old patents by virtue of re- finements. He said the patent on the audion tube. invented by Dr. Lee De;| Forest in 1906, has expired and that there is no patent in force today on the tube itself. Mr. Lord declared that Judge Morris® decision in Federal Court £t Wilmington, restraining enforcement of the tube agreement with the R C. A. Jicensees, now opens wide the market for all radio tubes made. The question yemains whether the 25 prominent radio makers licensed by the R. C. A. will repudiate the agreement relating to tube equipment on the strength of the decision. Victor Herbert's comic opera, “The Serenade.” and a concert by the New York Symphony Orchestra under the of Walter Damrosch are the outstanding attractions tonight of WRC. “The Serenade” will be presented dur- fng the Philco hour. Jessica Dragon- ette, soprano, wil sing the lcading role.
