NEW YORK, May 31.—Streets and| highways, like the radio shop rows o!" many large cities, may soon present a radio loud speaker bedlam that will de- mand State laws and city ordinances to curb. Taking a step ahead of Amer- jean railroads, the automotive industry is evincing much interest in projects under way for equipping automobiles sets. Such sets may now be nobile installation, soon have radio as standard equipment.

They ]dio for the entertainment of their pas- | "sengers, such as the Ca‘ "dian National | Railway has installed on all its long- | distance trains, nor are many railway | | stations in this country equipped with loud speakers to relieve the tedium of |long train waits. | | The Canadian railroads have central | switching _systems that actuate head phones, which may be plugged into con- | necting parlor chairs. Thus a passen- | ger plugs in and out at will and suffers | his neighbor no annoyance. The recep- tion is sometimes bad, due to the | changing direction of the antenna atop the car when the trains rounds curves. i Steel Body Acts as Shield. | ‘ The steel body of the car also ms"’ [8s & shield against good reception. but | | programs more than often come 1n | Toudly and clearly. . | Auto radio development recalls a pre- | diction made some months ago by the | president of the Marmon Motor Car Co. He prophesied that before the pres- ent century is out all automobiles will | be powered by electricity transmitted | diffused and dissipated. A 50-kilowatt transmitter might possibly send out enough energy to light a bulb a block | or so away, but the best that has ever been done in the transmission of power through space has been the reception of extremely low power over only a few feet of space. In fact, it takes power of about an 800-1,000th of a watt to actuate the antenna that picks up an ordinary radio program. The comment of Capt. Guy Hill, act- ing chief engineer for the Federal Radio Commission and himself a former re- search worker on radiant energy, was that the radio-driven car will come at about the time some human from earth sits Mars.
