THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, V..U SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1928. " . e —— RIS NOVE BROABGAST DSPTE STUDED Capital Inventor’s Hour Criti- cized and Interference With 1t Opposed. Criticism of the broadcast hour used by C. Francis Jenkins, inventor, to transmit his radio broad- cast of motion pictures is before the Federal Radio Commission, together Wwith a complaint from another quarter that station WHAM of Rochester, N. Y., is interfering with reception of the radio motion pictures which are sent out from the Jenkins laboratories, at 1519 Connecticut avenue. between 8 and 9 o'clock on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights of each week. Under the new allocation, effective November 11, station WHAM is given a clear channel and its frequency is changed from 1,070 to 1,150 kilocycles, so that it is anticipated that interference from this source will be eliminated. Commissioner O. H. Caldwell has been advised by Jenkins, it was made known today, -that the inventor ex- pressed regret that “we can't avoid in- terference with the old crystal and single tube single circuit radio sets.” Writes to Complainant. Robert H. May of 2124 P street, who criticized the Jenkins broadcast hour, was sent this letter by the inventor October 1: “I am in receipt, by the courtesy of the Radio Commission, of your criti- cism of the hour we selectcd for our tri-weekly radio broadcast of motion pictures, "explaining that it puts your audible receiver set out of commission for the hour. “The hour was selected as that likely to be the most acceptable to the great- est number of those who seek the! pleasure attendant on the pioneer re- ception of radio movies. “These consist of radio fans all the way from 15 to 75 years of age, and | located in many States east of the Rocky Mountains. An earlier broad- cast would interfere with the dinner hour of those West and a later hour would deprive the East Coasters of their opportunity. To stop altogether would be unfair and unkind to hundreds who have built sets to get our radio movies. “Fortunately for all of us, most mod- ern radio sets easily tune out every- thing lying outside the broadcast band, | so0 . that relatively little complaint reaches us; while the spontaneous en- | thusiasm in many of the letters which | come to us daily makes us feel we are giving pleasure and entertainment to a great many. Broadcast Interferes. “Why don't you also try for our movies broadcast? We think you would find it entertaining, and you are so very close to our station that you should get very strong signals.” i Prom Baltimore the Federal Radio Commission has received this letter from Howard Adams, jr., of the S. M. Hamilton Coal Co.: “As you are aware, Mr. C. S. Jen- kins is at the present time broadcasting radio movies over his station 3XK, on approximately 46.72 meters. “Ever since Mr. Jenkins started his broadcasting I have been picking up his picture, and after each transmis- sion I send him a report in the hope that my observations here may help in the advancement of television. “However, some night I am unable to even understand his speech, let alone get the pictures, due to the fact that broadcasting station WHAM of Roch- ester, N. Y., has a_terrible harmonic on 3XK's waves. I have taken the matter up with the Stromberg-Carlson Co. and was advised by them that they were working on this matter. Up to the present time the interference has not decreased at all—in fact, I believe it has increased—and I am appealing to you to see if something can't be done about it. “I do not know how much territory WHAM succeeds in spoiling for Mr. Jenkins, but it does seem a shame that these experiments can’t be carried on on a wave free from the harmonic of some broadcast station. In fact, I doubt if you realize how very many ‘harmonics from broadcasters do show up down on short waves, and I hope you will look into the matter at your earliest convenience.” ‘While hunting, M. Stolz( a rich land- owner of Poland, laid his gun on the ground and a dog stepped on the trig- ger, killing the man. Washington | | cated in Petworth, the grand master of Will Rogers Says: SPRINGFIELD, Mass., October 6.—I been hearing appeals over the radio for funds, and I thought sure it must be for Florida or Porto Rico or some equally de- serving cause, and come to find out it was the Demo- cratio campaign treasurer seeking first aid. Nights | when the candi- ol dates don't talk over the radio, why, their treas- urers are asking for money enough to pay for the radio for the next night for the candidate. Both parties have got to a point now where they will take old clothes or second-hand cars or anything. There is peculiar charities in this country.

Testimony tending to explode tne | claim of the National Woman's Party ! that its headquarters at First and A | street northeast, which is being con- demned as a part of the site for the new United States Supreme Court building, is the old brick capitol. hes been offered before the commission by Henry H.Morgan, architectural engi- I neer of the office of the supervising | architect of the Treasury. He was ex- amined by Assistant United States At- torneys General Henry H. Glassie and A. Leftwich Sinclair and Assistant | United States Attorney O'Leary, who are representing the Government at the condemnation hearin; The Woman's { is reported to the one occupied bv Congress following Ithe burning of the Capitol by the! | British in 1814. Great historical and | sentimental value was placed on the property for that reason by witnesses | offered in behalf of the owner. Produces Photograph. Mr. Morgan produced a photograph of the old Capitol building and in| answer to Government counsel pointed out reasons why he claimed the build- | ing is not the one so used for legislative purposes, but was erected at a later date. In the first place, he said, the brickwork of the original building was laid in flemish bond, whereas the brick- work in the present building is laid in common or running bond. It would be nonsensical, he declared, to remove four inches of the brickwork in the old building to put in the present bond. the present building had, in fact, any relation to the old building it would | have been necessary to excavate beneath the foundation of the old building, which did not go below the frost line, and underpin the walls to get to the present depth of cellar. There is no vas_followed. “a‘l‘he chimneys of the old building, which were very large, were on the ex terior walls of the west front, he said, while the chimneys of the present building are on the exterior wall of the north side of house No. 25 and in the walls separating the three houses. The west wall of the existing building gives no indication that chimneys like those existing in the old building couid have been removed from the wall, and there is no indication that the present chimneys of the A street front have been added to an old wall. On the contrary, they are an integral part of the new wall. Holds Buildings Different. The witness produced scale drawings of the First street front of the pres- ent Woman'’s Party Building on which had been superimposed the First street front of the old Capitol Building.

The witness further testified that a comparison of the dimensions of the present building with those of the nld Capitol Building showed that the east { front of the old Capitol Building was 50 feet, whereas the present building is 80 feet 6 inches, and the front of the old building on A street was 36 feet, ! whereas the present building is 44 feet. It would have required practically a demolition of the south and east walis of the old building and an extension of the north and west walls in order to conform with the dimensions of the | present building, he said. WIFE FAILS TO ATfiCH FUNDS OF HER HUSBAND Balance, Instead of $200,000, Claimed by Spouse. Efforts of Mrs. Lucille Sweitzer to at- itach funds of her husband, Charle Sweitzer, in several local financial in- stitutions, where she said he had $200,000, have apparently failed. The American Security & Trust”Co. is the only defendant to report to the court that it has funds belonging to the hus- band. Mrs. Sweitzer told the court in her potition for maintenance and in- junction that her husband had gone to Rero to obtain a divorce from her on “false and fictitious” charges. The trust company says it had been paying the wife $225 a month for her support under a_ written order of the husband, and there remains to his credit a balance of $451.87. In addi- tion, it holds $532.42, representing the husband’s share in the estate of his father, Nelson B. Sweitzer, of which the company is administrator.
