RADID CONFERENCE TOSEEK SEASAFETY London Meeting Will Empha- size Necessity of Wireless On Ships. BY MARTIN CODEL. Radio will play a leading part in the - conference on safety of life at sea. called by the British government in London in the Spring of next year. The Vestris disaster, occurring with another vessel unequipped with radio only three hours' sailing distance away, has served to emphasize tie extreme irortance of this conference to the world of radio. All the maritime nations, especiall; those that were parties to the interna: tjonal convention of 1913-14, will send their best qualified men on the techni- , administrative and legislative : - pects of navigation. An Amerlc'an uclegation of experts, including the Na- tion’s leading experts on wireless, was authorized by the last Congress, but the measure failed to reach President Cool- idge in time for a~nroval before ad- journment. Assuming that the bill will again be sassed and approved, the Government's leading authorities have been meeting with non-governmental experts for pre- liminary work on American proposals at the conference. Commissioner of Navigation A. J. Tyrer declares that in this way the delegates to be named by the President will have technical ad- visors able to help them present prac- tical proposals looking to higher stand- ards of safety with the least possible cst and hardship to the traveling pub- tic and commercial interests involved. New Radio Laws Needed. American radio officials are agreed ihat some of the old laws relating to 1ad . aboard seagoing vessels are ana- chronisms. The law.of the sea has not op. pace .ith new deve'~~ments in radio, such as radio beacons and radio compasses. These were unknown be- | iore the war, the time of the last| treaty relating to safety of life at sea. Moreover, there have been a multitude | of improvements in ordinary apparatus | that are now regarded as standard needs | on ships. | The international radio-.elegrar 2 con- | vention of last year, effective January | 1. 1929, has established new standards of ship radio installations, but it re- mains for another treaty to declare what ships must be radio equipped. The “how” of the problem is more or 1:-3 settled; the “who” must be dictated by another set of laws. The Vestris situa- tion has given rise to & question whether the governments should not tighten up the requirements for radio aboard vessels. Tl small ship salling along o * three hours away from the Vestris and entirely unaware of the distress call cariled no radio because its crew num- bered only around 30 men. The old international law demands radio in- stallations on all merchent vessels of the contracting parties if they have 50 or more persons on board, whether pas- sengers or erew, or both. It applies only to ships plylng between the ports of different nations. United States Laws Strict. ‘The American navigation laws are comewhat stricter, requiring a radio in- stallation if the vessel carries 50 or more persons, regardless what ports it touches. This requirement ‘s imposed on all ships, American or foreign, that put in at American ports. The British have a law about radio that is based on the gross tonnags of the ships. The | problem of standards will doubtless come up at “ondon. Another problem the American ex- peris are not overlooking in consider- ing radio as an integral part of mari- time safety measures is that of equip-| ping aircraft flving over great bodics of water with ragio. It will be pro- posed at London that no plane shall be permitted to take off for a transoceanic | flight without radio anmaratus and a qualified operator aboard. This Government may press this point, in view of the many disasters which have overtaken such flying craft, an! notwithstanding that Lindbergh and Chamberlin carried no radio on their successful flights. The United States Navy regards a radioless plane flying over water as virtually useless, according to a high naval officer, and it has radio on all but its fighting planes.

They had received, overnight, printed notices in official terms stat- ing that the university proctor de- | sired to interview them at 9:45 a.m. The proctor is the university official charged with enforcing the laws and regulations of the institution. Virtually the whole 800 assembled at the proctor’s office at the specified time. The proctor eventually ap- peared and told the undergrads that he had no desire to talk with them. It took the proctor and his “bull- dogs"—as his assistants are called— nearly an hour to disperse the cheer- ing, rollicking students. ' 1S REGARDED CERTAIN Internal Revenue Commissioner Is Slated for Higher Post, in Belief of Many. David H. Blair, Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue and Republican leader of North Carolina, one of the States which broke the “Solid South” to swing into the Republican column for Hoover, is slated, according to indications yes- terday, to continue over into the next administration. Mr. Blair has been commissioner 1921, when he succeeded Wil- illiams, but he has continued his int t in politics in his home State participating in the recent campaign mostly by mail and. telegram ‘Washington. An earlv Hoover booster, Mr. Blair | predicted in September, 1927, that Hoo- | ver would be nominated and elected and that the State of North Carolina would g0 Republican by 50,000. The vote shows the State turned a majority of about | 36.000 for Hoover. Whether Mr. Blair will be continued in his present post as commissioner is a matter for conjecture. If he wishes to continue there, it is believed in re- sponsible circles that he can stay at the post, which collects hundreds of mil- lions In taxes from the American citi- zens each year. In view of his double service, both in the Treasury and in North Carolina, it was belleved today in certain circels that Mr. Blair might even b: offered another and more responsible post in the Hoover administration, should he desire a change.

Jr £ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22 1028, CALDWELL PRAISES * GHANGES IN RADIO Commissioner Says Recep- E tion Improved by Realloca- | tion Plan. Improved radio reception generally throughout the country has followed {the recent broadcasting reallocation | O. H. Caldwell, Federal radio commis- sioner in charge of the first district. embracing the District of Columbia, de- | clared last night at a meeting of the Washington Society of Engineers at the Cosmos Club. Caldwell said he based | his statement on reports reaching the commission as well as independent sur- | veys of national conditions. 1 “Complaints are, however, coming to the commission from several cities re- garding the reduced number and periods of local or nearby programs which are to be heard since the re- distribution of wave lengths,” sald Cald- well. “The reason for such reductions will be very clear upon a readifig of the 1928 radio law. Eastern Zone Suffers. “Under this 1928 radio act (Davis amendment) the commission is ordered to redistribute the wave lengths and other radio facilities equally among the citizens of the Nation; that is, to States | according to population. Of course, this has meant that from certain sec- tions heretofore enjoying an excess high degree of radio service provided b enterprising. broadcasters, wave length: have had to be withdrawn and these transferred to less favored States and sections. The Eastern zone has thus particularly suffered.” while the South- ern zone, for example, has benefited. “The reallocation of November 11 faithfully carried out this redistribution and all parts of the Nation now have their proportions of the radio total, based on population, in strict com- pliance with the mandate of Congress. Dial Positions Spread. “Each State and section, moreover, now also has its appropriate share of the various positions on the dial, from 200 meters to 545 meters. For cx ample, Massachusetts, which formeriv had the advanage of using chiefly the upper or loyger wave lengths, now has its Slate channels fairly spread across the dial and nas necessarily witnessed the transfer of eertain of its station: “down,” where they are finding then selves able to give equally good or be ter service on relatively cleared chan- nels, as rapidly as their transmitters are adjusted to the new assignments. “While the reduction of local radio service in certain parts of the Atlantic Scaboard will occasion some incon- Thanksgiving 'ven!euce. as compared with the former excess of broadcasting enjoyed by Easf ern listeners, it is believed that citizens thus deprived will cheerfully gecept this equalization and redistribution, knowing that the facilities thus lost by them are being made, by act of Con- gress, available to other American cit- izens in other parts of the country v\hkih formerly had little or no radio service.” U.
