WIRE MEN RIDICULE RADID COMPETIION Advent of Wireless Commu- nications Company Not Taken Seriously. BY MARTIN CODEL. ‘The prospective advent of the Uni- versal Wireless Communications. Co. into the telegraph field, using radio channels granted by the Federal Radio Commission to communicate between citles of the United States, has awak- ened great interest among telegraph officials. They showed no disposition, however, to regard seriously the pro- posed competitor of the Western Union, the Postal Telegraph and the Radio Corporation of America. Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union, was frankly doubtful lb\‘);le"-=g the _intercity Mlo—;&‘;gl‘flfl_fih project backed by a group of Buffalo residents. Interviewed by long-dis- . | tance telephone in New York, he ridi- culed the ‘ufm that the new radio company could operate successfully in competition with the land line com- panies, and expressed himself rather pointedly. “It reminds me,” he said, “of a fellow nobody em heard of deciding to be the hean t champion of the world. He is vat are his credentials; and replies that he knows a fellow who owns a pair of boxing gloves. “We mustn't take seriously the fact that other fellows are moving into the business.

Both companies were umuceessml applicants for short waves for domestic rldlo-telegmg;h na'.worn although the Radlo Comm] sion has indicated that their trans- oceanic radio circuits may be extended or supplemented to permit them also to conduct overland message services. Among private and Government offi- clals identifled with communications speculation was rife today regarding the prospects of the new concern. No one undertook to condemn or praise the action of the commission publicly.
