EDSON CERENONY OVERWRETONGHT Inventor to Be Given Con- gressional Medal of Honor by Secretary Mellon. ‘When Thomas A. Edison is presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor tonight in his laboratory in West Orange, N. J, the impressive ceremony ‘will go on the air over a network of 48 stations in which WRC will be a link. The voice of President Coolidge, the presentation speech by Secretary of the ‘Treasury Mellon and an address by Dr. John Hibben, president of Princeton University, will be the high spots of the program. The novel feature, however, will be a broadcast of the first phono- graph record. It is a recorded version of “Mary Had g Little Lamb.” The ceremony is designed to mark the forty-ninth anniversary of the ‘inven- tion of the incandescent lamp. The musical setting will be provided by the United States Navy Band. ‘The broadcast will go on the air from three different points. President Cool- idge’s talk will be made in the White House. The Navy Band will play in WRC’s studio while the ceremonies will take place in Edision's laboratory. Due to the week end respite in radio political activities, WRC will devote a major portion of its program to musical features, outstanding of which are the weekly dance concert by the Lucky Strike Orchestra, and a condensed ver- sion of “The Geisha,” a Wapanese operetta, to be broadcast during the Philco Hour. Jessica Dragonette and Colin O'More will sing the leading roles. The dance program will have a de- cided Scotch flavor. At one point it will be interrupted for the reading of a letter written by Sir Harry Lauder. “Ramona,” “Dardenella,” “Lonesome in the Moonlight,” “You're a Real Sweet- heart,” “Chiquta,” and “Tea for Two are some of the selections to be played. “Leeses’s Brunswick Saturday Night- ers” are the principal musical attraction scheduled tonight by WMAL.

He also stated that the Democratic party “is pledged to return to low tariffs.” To_ this metropolis of the only con- gressional district in Oklahoma repre- sented by a Republican, Senator Mc- Nary came to urge support of the presi- dential candidacy of Herbert Hoover. Many Republican farmers of the dis- trict were proponents of the vetoed McNary-Haugen bill and opposed the nomination of Mr. Hoover. Democratic leaders claim there have been wide- spread Republican defections in the dis- trict as a result. Senator McNary said that Gov. Al- fred E. Smith, who indorsed the prin- ciples of the McNary-Haugen bill in & speech at Omaha, did not commit him- self as to whether he approved the equalization fee provision. “Let it be borne in mind that no farm relief can be made effective with- out a high protective tariff, a policy for which the Republican party has stood during the history of its exist- ence,” Senator McNary said. “The pri- wary purpose of the McNary-Haugen bill was to make the tariff effective to those staple crops of which we produce & surplus. Consequently that measure. with the equalization fee or without the fee, would completely fail unless sup- | ported by a strong protective tariff. “The historic failure of the Demo- cratic party to provide protection to American producers of agricultural products is a challenge to its capacity to deal effectively with the farm problem.” WILL PAINT SCHOOL. | District Repair Shop to Do Work at McKinley High.

P. Farm Relief Record. By the Assoclated Press. EN ROUTE WITH SENATOR ROB- INSON TO HASTINGS, Nebr., October 20.—With an eye on the farm vote of the troublesome Middle West, Senator Joe T. Robinson headed toward Ne- braska today for three speeches which will give him the opportunity of empha- sizing his criticism of the Republican record on agricultural relief legislation. His intinerary brought him into the home State of Senator George W. Nor- ris, a Republican, who has spoken words of praise for some of the campaign speeches of Gov. Smith, and whose arguments Senator Robinson oceasion- ally has used to drive home his own con- tentions during his tour of the West. Speaks This Afternoon. The vice presidential nominee has agreed to make a brief speech in Grand Island this afternocon during the time his train is switched for the trip to Hastings. At Hastings, Mr. Robinson will make a formal address tonight and another in Lincoln Monday night. The candidate’s departure from Wyoming left in his wake a wide range of campaign arguments for the Demo- cratic party ieaders of that State to use in their hot campaign to win Wyoming’s three electoral votes for the Smith-Robinson ticket. Senator Rob- inson explained the Democratic posi- tion on the tariff, attacked the farm re- lief, policy of the Republican party and spoke plainly on the religious issue. Candidates Contrasted. In Casper last night he contrasted the record of Gov. Smith with that of Herbert Hoover. He declared that Smith was qualified for the presidency by his long experience with public af- fairs. Of Hoover he said, “that he knows how to organize and carry on corporations in China or Great Britain RADIO LITIGATION - INHIGHEST GOURT |“Feedback” Case, Fought for Decade, Reaches U. S. Supreme Tribunal. BY MARTIN CODEL. Radio’s most celebrated litigation has gone to the Supreme Court of the United States for final adjudication, after dragging through the lower courts for more than a decade. The highest tribunal in the land. having heard legal Jand scientific argu ments by a brilliant array of couns must now decide whether it was Dr, L~ De Forest or Maj. Edwin H. Armstron: who discovered the oscillating proper- tles of the three-element tube, which makes modern radio broadcasting and reception possible. No one disputes De Forest’s invention back in 1906 of the vacuum tube itself, often described as the “heart of the radio.” An issue of major magnitude, however, has arisen over the determina- tion whether De Forest or Armstrong invented the feedback circuit. This is the vital element in transmission and reception, which accounts for the mys- terious conversion of radio frequencies into audion or telephone frequencies. Appearing Thursday and Friday of this week before Chief Justice William Howard Taft and his associates on be- half of the De Forést claims, were Charles Evans Hughes, Judge ‘Thomas B. Haight and Samuel E. Darby, jr. . De Forest and others are respondents along with the American Telephone & Telegraph Co.. which is understood to own his litigated patent. De Forest Is Absent. Dr. De Forest, now busily engaged in new tube production and talking motion picture enterprises, did not aj pear, Maj. Armstrong was there, how- ever, and scores of eager listeners. Maj. Armstrong is co-petitioner in the case with the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., assignee of his originally upheld feedback patent. Their counsel are Frederick H. Wood, Drury W. Cooper and Thomas Ewing. Victory for Armstrong, who is un- derstood to have drawn many millions in royalties on his patent, would throw his feedback patent open to the public when it expires in 1931. A decision in De Forest’s favor would validate his patent through 1941, possibly insuring him future royalties unless his agree- ment with the A. T. & T. precludes that. It was while he was a “ham,” or amateur wireless fan and an electrical engineering student, at Columbia Uni- versity in 1912 that Armstrong became interested in the audio tube invented by De Forest. The tube was then merely a detector and not an amplifier and oscillator. Armstrong Geis Patent. Armstrong claimed to have found that radio currents existed in the output or delivery circuit end of the audion. He found that he could take plate radio currents and reapply them io make a regenerative radio frequency amplifier which increased signal strength several hundredfold. By increasing the regen- eration he could make a radio frequency oscillator or generator for receiving continuous waves, This underlies the tube transmitter and tube receiving set of today. Applying for & patent in 1913, Arm- strong obtained it from the United States Patent Office several years later. Meanwhile, De Forest was making re- generative and heterodyne receivers and tube oscillating transmitters. Arm- strong sued De Forest for infringing his patent. De Forest contended that he had made the broad inventlon of the oscil- lator in 1912 and that Armstrong could not stop him from selling his product. Judge Julius Mayer, in Uni States District Court for the southern district of New York, upheld Armstrong and de- clared that De Forest's work in 1912 did not anticipate the Armstrong patent. Both Win Appeals. Upon appeal, the Court of Appeals of the second circuit upheld Armstrong in 1922. Meanwhile, there was “offshoot” litigation. An improvement patent ob- tained by Armstrong was held by the Court of Appeals to be an interference with De Forest's patent. With this award, De Forest sued in the Federal Court at Philadelphia to cancel the Armstrong patent. Judge Thompson helldd that the patent ought to be can- celed. Armstrong, of course, appealed to the Court of Appeals. That court held for De Forest. In another case in Wilming- ton, Judge Morris also held for De For- est_on oscillator use. Armstrong ap- pealed back to the Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, where another decision for De Forest resulted. ‘The net result of the court issues was that the Federal District Courts for the New York district were at odds in their findings with the courts at Philadelphia and Wilmington. The npgel.l by Arm- strong from the last-named case is what the Supreme Court has to decide, but the whole array of cases known as the “feedback” cases, are really up for final determination. There is tremendous interest in the outcome throughout the radio world. (Covyright. 1928, by North American News- ———000CAllINNCE) is little proof that he is exceptionally qualified for the presidency.” The nominee attributed to Gov. Smith a “personal magnetism and profound sympathy for the people” and an in- timate knowledge of government prob- lems, and attacked Hoover for remain- ing “silent as a sphynx” while other members of the cabinet in which he sat “were being driven into private life because of dishonesty or incompetency.” “CHICK” GONFREY, Tenor, who will be heard in a recital tonight through Station WMAL.

NEW YORK, October 20—John W. | Davis, Democratic presidential candi- date in 1924, discussed Gov. Smith as a “constructive statesman” in a talk broadcast last night. “There are three ways man,” sald Mr. Davis. “ by what he has done; the second is by what he thinks and says; and the third is by what competent witnesses say about him.” ‘The speaker then reviewed Gov. Smith's record in public office, assert~ ing that he could think of no course of training for the presidency better than the governor's been. “When it is said,” he continued, “that the questions he has been called upon to deal with are, after all, State questions, and that he would be at a loss in the nadional fleld, the answer is easy. No man has ever come to the presidency, no man ever will come to the presidency, who knows about all the problems he will encounter. Only 2 Solomon and a soothsayer combined would satisfy that requirement. The important thing is that he should be able to meet the problems when they come. There is no schooling for the presidency, either in a Government de- partment or elsewhere, to be compared with the lessons to be learned as chief executive of a great State.” “What Alfred E. Smith thinks,” Mr. Davis said, “is being made clearer to this country every day. No question em- barrasses him. One after another he has taken up the issues of the campaign and dealt with them openly, frankly, and constructively.” to try any ‘The first is The Character Loan provides funds for EMERGENCIES WHEN emer gencies rise and funds to meet them are needed, you can borrow from the Departmental Bank if you are a Government employe or responsible salaried man or woman, working in_the District of Columbia.

HASKIN. Author of “The American Government.” "The events of the great political battle of 1896, whose outcome for a time seemed uncertain, are of such recent occurrence as to live in the memory of many people. It witnessed the breaking down of more of the old party lines than any other fight since the beginning of the Civil War. It is comparable to the present campaign in the breaking down of party tles. Cleveland's start in his second term in office was not promising. The storm= clouds of & panic were on the horizon before he was elected, and caused the Harrison administration to order the preparation of plates for the issuance of bonds to keep up the Treasury re- By the time Cleveland was in- augurated hard times had arrived, and before the Wilson tariff bill was written, they were pressing down upon the Na- tion. The Cleveland inistration was blamed for it. Party Turns to Free Silver. Democracy turned to free silver in its bid for popularity and support, but here it found itself at cross purposes with its chief in the White House. Cleveland advocated a gold standard country. Be- fore this happened he became involved in a controversy with England over the Venezuelan boundary dispute, and read the law on the Monroe Doctrine to Eng- land with such directness and determi- nation that Britain decided to accept his contentions. Some of the Repub- licans hailed this as a bid for a third term, saying it was beyond all question the President’s first move on the politi- cal checkerboard. The repeal of the Sherman silver purchasing law and the Democratic split over the money question, coupled with the panic, the tariff, and the bond issues, led the Republicans to believe they could, as they boasted, “nominate a rag baby for President in 1896 and win at the polls.” The two real candi- dates were Willlam McKinley and Thomas B. Reed. The opposition to McKinley sought to break down the backbone of his strength by bringing out favorite sons everywhere. McKinley Managers Face Opposition. Iowa brought out Senator Allison, and they tried to bring out Senator Cullom in Illinois. First the McKinley managers sought ta sidetrack the Cul- lom boom by offering him a good posi- tion under McKinley. Cullom himself said he could have had anything he wanted. When he declined the McKinley managers decided to carry the State for their candidate, Cullom boom or no Cullom boom, and they succeeded. ‘The McKinley managers—with Mark Hanna as their chief—decided to strad- dle the money question. They held an early State convention in Ohio for the purpose of adopting a platform which should serve as a guide in other States. ‘The money plank was a complete ex- ample of concealing thought with lanu- age. Both silver and gold men read in it a full indorsement of their varying views. Some say Hanna wanted a sound money plank, but held out against it long enough to carry out several other objects he had in view. An Eastern committee waited upon him at his hotel and told him they would sacrifice McKinley if he did not let them have a sound money plank. It is said that Senator Platt, the easy boss of New ‘York, announced to Hanna that he had an- hour in which to come to terms, and that Hanna did so in half an hour. ‘When the platform finally was adopted the money plank declared for gold. Twenty-two Republican State con- ventions had declared for free silver. Democrats Divided. ‘The Democrats were a badly split s;lrty when they arrived at Chicago. e silver wing was so violently op- posed to Mr. Cleveland that they de- feated a resolution indorsing their own administration, something perhaps un- exampled in by politics in the United States. the Republican con- vention the Silverites who could not favor the platform, walked out, some of them with tears streaming down their cheeks, but the anti-Free Silver Demo- crats sat tight until after the conven- tion. Bryan's “crown of thorns and cross of gold” speech swept him up the political ladder from a contesting dele- gate to the nominee of the convention, after one of the most dramatic scenes in the history of political gatherings. The Silver Republicans ratified the action of the Democratic convention, the Populists put up Bryan and Wat- son, and the bulk of the Prohibition vote went for free silver. Later the Gold Democrats met and gave the Cleveland administration the indorse- ment it had been denied by the regular Democratic convention, and nominated Palmer and Buckner on & Gold Demo- crat platform. The Republicans found that they had serious business on hand, for Bryan and free silver, it seemed, had at one more voters step carried A from the Republican party than the leaders could hope to from the democracy. New Y{‘:fi} and imitating made in day les. Meanwhile the Republicans conjured with the pi ity argument and the threat of worse times if Bryan came into power. Debtors were inf that tl e’i‘r Bcl'ediwl'l wm‘xld want their money ryan won, factory workers were warned to expect a shutdown in the event of his success, and with the e day. 5,000,000 People Hear Bryan. ‘When the campaign was over Bryan had spoken to more than 5,000,000 peo- ple, while over 700,000 had made pilgrimages to Canton, Ohio, to hear and greet McKinley in his famous front-porch campaign. The Repub- licans had won an easy victory, with more than a hundred electoral votes to spare. Only in two of the States did the gold Democratic ticket figure to any extent. McKinley got a quarter of a million popular votes more than all his_opponents combined. ‘When McKinley eame into power he brought a great change into the White House. Cleveland and Harrison knew nothing of the fine art of conciliation. Both failed to agree with their party leaders, and each of them was ready to fight at the drop of the hat. But McKinley was a conciliator. He - ferred to follow the advance it. He tried to carry out the will of bis party rather than to Some said he had the backbone of a chocolate eclair, but his friends realized that he was the man to keep his party together by compromise rather than to split it by opposition. Cleveland and Harrison go down in history as the only two Presidents who ever defeated one another. John Quincy Adams defeated Jackson before Jackson became Presi- dent, and afterward was defeated by Jackson, but this was not a case of an ex-President defeating a President.
