DIAL TWISTING RADIO PASSING OUT New Control System Is Fea- tured at Exhibition Along With Screen &rid. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 28.—Father Knickerbocke:’s radio dress parade ends tonight, with the mere onlooker con- vinced that the progress of a year in the laboratories has given him greater advantages as a listener. Closing of the doors of the Sixth An- nual Radlo World Fair, with the de- parture of the last footsore tramper of its labyrinth of receivers and other radio devices, left the telling impres- sion that this really is a “screen grid” year. There, too, was a feeling that the dynamic speaker has not yet been overshadowed, with meanwhile an almost complete eclipse of the table model by the console. Electrically the radio receiver has traveled far in the few years from a single tube headphone device to a mul- titude loud speaker instrument, all self- contained, introduction, introduction of the screen grid tube, having four ele- ments instead of the usual three, is credited with the year's greatest change. Numerous Alterations. Numerous _alterations in circuit de- sign have been necessary to obtain some of the benefits of the tube, which is designed to prevent oscillation or squealing in tuned radio frequency without neutralizers or balancers. At the same time it gives greater ampli- fication than is available in the three- element tubes. In addition to the screen grid an- other new tube, an improved power output valve, was presented this year. It has been given much wider use than the screen grid, although little atten- tion has been paid to it by the listen- ing public. due to the screen grid cam- paign. This tube has improved the tone quality of the receiver because of its ability to supply greater power to the speaker. While the dynamic speaker probably is at its peak, indications of something different were given in the first public display of the electrostatic speaker or “talking condenser.” In addition, it was used in the public address system employed at the show to pick up broad- casting programs from the Crystal Studio for the benefit of visitors. New Control Introduced. A desire to eliminate difficulties of tuning has been a concentration on va- rious devices to make this task easier. Automatic, semi-automatic and other short cuts to knob turning comprised one of the features of the show. Remote control, by which a set is operated by push buttons from a box removed from the rec r, but connected to it by a cable, has been introduced in earnest. Manufacturers continue to pay the most_ attention to the alternating-cur- rent receiver, in addition to providing a set for the listener whose house is lighted by direct current. Where no such facilities are available the battery set has not been entirely forgotten. And | there are number of this type con- tagflng many of the latest ideas in radio. . AUSTRIAN CLASHES | BELIEVED AVERTED Socialist and Fascist Groups Closely Guarded During | Demonstration. By the Assoclated Press. VIENNA, September 28.—Austrian authorities took stringent precautions | today to guard against any clashes at| week end demonstrations by the hostile | Heimwehr and Schuetzbund organiza- tions, all indications pointed to a peaceful passing of the manifestations.

After the demonstrations at Moed- ling and Stockerail they were pe:mitted to march to the stations and city lim- its, but there dispersed.

USE OF METAL TO JOIN BROKEN BONES APPROVED Speaker at French Medical Acad- emy Regards Hinges as Efficient in Healing Process. PARIS (#).—Man and not nature is blamed for the indifferent success sur- | geons have had in joining badly broken bones with metal. Before the Academy of Medicine, Dr. Plerre Bazy presented the research work of two colleagues whose years of effort were said to have proved that nature will utilize man’s metal devices if the work is well done. Dr. Contremoulin, an X-ray expert, and Dr. Maurice Robineau found that surgeons usually placed wires, rods and plates on broken bones with too little regard for the science of engineering nmll generally failed to fasten the metal TEVTLE WORKERS SUE FOR ARRESTS $150,000 Damages Sought Against Charlotte Police and Mecklenburg Sheriff.
