THE EVENING QT\R, \VAQHI\GTO.\. D C.. WEDNESDAY, I‘I"BP[Z\RX 6, 1929, g CHARGES AGAINST UNIVERSAL CLEARED House Body Gives Clean Bill of Health to Radio Firm. Unecathed after a searching inquiry by the House merchant marine com- { mittee, the Universal Wireless Com- munications Co. is pushing its plans to give to the United States a radio- * telegraphic service, nation wide scope, within iwo years. Allegations of lobbying, improper stock promoting and even petty bribery i against the Universal and of derelic- tion on the part of the Radio Commis- i sion have wilted as a result of the| testimony of radio commissioners and | of Dr. John Nathansohn, general rep- | | Tesentative of the Universal. Repre- ! sentative Free of Cfihfornm prosecuked the case on the basis of * mformmon he said he had, but with an “open mind.” Nothing wayward was dis- closed,~ he now states. Endeavoring to clear up every ques-| tion raised as to the responsibility of the company and its earnestness in the project, Dr. Nathansohn evidently swept aside every vestige of doubt as to these matters. He radiated confi- dence that the undertaking will prove of tremendous importance to the peo- ple, contending that it will give them cheaper, better and more reliable tele- graph service at all times. But whether the scheme will work out remains to be seen. It must undergo the rigid test of practical application over a period of time. Three years have been allowed by | the commission to complete the Uni-| versal’'s project of interconnecting 110 cities in every State in the country with short wave channels within the ntal band. But, says Dr. Nath- ansohn, the company will try to com- plete the job with a year to spare. Ten stations must be operating by De- cember 31 next, but when that date ar- rives there will be 25 or 30 stations ac- cepting the public’s business, he de- clares. Within a month the company hopes to have lis New York-Chicago trunk operating. The sum of $25,000,000, underwrit- ten by the 21 directors of the corpora- tion, will be employed. Dr. Nathan- sohn dissipated doubt as to the method of financing of the corporation by a virtual pleage to the committee that no stock immediately would be sold. It is variously estimated that some $200,- 000,000 ultimately will be required. Inquiries by Representative Free as to whether candy, flowers and other gilts were freely dsitributed about the commission by Nathansohn were an- v in his general statement. The attributed this to a “touch of kindness” which caused him to send “roses and candy on Christmas™ to some of th: commission’s staff and wives of commissioners. He empha- sized they were s:nt on Christmas and that the allocations were acted upon before that date. With the testimony of Dr. Nathan- sohn the Houss committee closed its hearings. Action on the White bill to extend the commission’s administrative life is expected forthwith, and it likely will be faverable. (Copyright, 1929, by the Consolidated Press.)

Today these same devices were ready for other trials at varying depths in an | effort to prove their perfection. | Three times yesterday Lieut. C. B. Momsen and Chief Torperoman Edward Kalinoski staked their lives in the con- | quest of the sea and were victorious. ‘The S-4 was submerged with the men | aboard. As the water began filling the | icnmpartmem.s Kalinoski donned his | | “lung,” which the new device is called, | and when the submarine had reached | peared on the surface, none the worse for his experience.
