In confirming the report Mrs. Wood- ward revealed that the divorce was granted in Nogales, Mexico. A divorce suit, filed by Mr. Woodward in Rock- land County, N. Y., has been abandoned. Under the terms of the decree Mr. and Mrs. Woodward will share the custody of their two children, Ruth, 12 years old, and Orator, jr., 9. ! ‘The estrangement of the Woodwards | first was brought to public notice in January, when Mr. Woodward “kid- naped” the two children, who had been living with their mother in Paris.

These are but a few of the develop- ments carried out in the Boeing plants under direction of Thorpe Hiscock, chief radio engineer; Robert Preeman, his aide, and their staff of eight radio men. Freeman, moving spirit in all the re- search work, 1s a University of Colorado chemistry graduate, who turned his at- tention to radio. He joined Hiscock about a year ago from the Bell labora- tories. The research headquarters are at the famous Oakland airport. Another Boeing radio production is & switch-on device on the joy stick—a button squeeze which controls the relay. turning the radio plant’s power on off. A 50-ampere generator, with a dynamotor working off a storage ba tery, has also been perfected to furnish the power supply for transmitting. In case of a forced landing it is pos- sible for the pilot to obtain a power supply sufficient to signal back to a land station for aid. The importance of having a plane’s radio work when it is down, as well as when it is flying, is obvious.

One has been built at Oakland airport jointly | with Western Air Express. Oakland- to-Sacramento-to-Reno has been the experimental link thus far worked. On the rest of the transcontinental airway the stations will be at Eiko, Nev.; Sait Lake City; Rock Springs, Wyo.; Chey- enne; North Platte, Nebr.; Omaho, Lin. coin, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Io City and Chicago. The Chicago sta. tion will be operated jointly with Uni- versal. The coastal net will include Seattle, Portland, Medford, Oreg.; Los Angeles, Bakersfield and Oakland. All the stations will broadcast voice to maintain ' constant communication with planes in flight. .All the planes will have 50-watt transmitters, 100 per cent modulated and having a speaking range of 150 to 175 miles under all conditions. The plane radio equipment, which includes two receiver sets (one for beacon) and one transmitter, in addition to the power generator, will ‘weigh about 100 pounds.
