B. C. Head Tells Electric Light Association It Is Still an Experiment. By the Associated P: ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 12.— The television era has definitely dawned, but television today is considerably of an experiment, M. H. Aylesworth, presi- dent of the National Broadcasting Co., told the National Electric Light Asso- ¢lation convention here today. He declared the gap between those who believed television entertainment is already here and those who think it still around the corner is steadily clos- ing up, adding, “of one thing we are now certain; the television era has defi- nitely dawned.” 4 But, he sald, “technically and com- merciully, television today is just as wuch of an experiment, just &s crude, yet Just as promising &s the feeble at- lempts at propagating entertainment by radio telephony prior to 1920.” Demonstration Will Retard Art, Pointing out that existing television systems are based on the discoveries of Paul Nipkow, made in 1884, he ex- plained that & closeup of a face can be reproduced so it can be recognized to a certain extent. However, he went on, a demonstration of television at this time will retard rather than further the development of the art, “Television, he sald, in its early strug- gle 1s more furlunale thun was sound, for it enjoys the partnership of the older art. His company, National Broadcasting Co., and_iis associates, “Lave not yet offered the pullic any television serv- ice, 'he contfhued, “preferring to re- tain the art in the research laboratories until it develops to mare substantial proportions. R. C. A.-Victor research staff at Camden, N. J, has experi- mented with a variety of techniques. Out of this vast amount of experimen- tation, there has slowly, bul surely emerged & system which in the future will become the basis of television in the home.” Rapid Development Forecast. He predicted television will_develop rapidly and within & year an Nitional Broadcasting Co. television trausmit- ter will be located atop the 50-story R. C. A. Bullding in New York, another on the Pacific Cosst, and there is & probubility that associated National Broadeasting Co. stations will install television transmitters. Even after television has been de- veloped to the point where receivers are simple and_dependable, Mr. Aylesworth said, sight by radio will be utilized only as a supplement to sound broadcasting. “For an_indefinite period it will be | necessary to provide the home with & sound and & sight set,” he declared. ‘In the years to come, it is entirely | probable both the eye and the ear wiil be served by one receiver, but that de- velopment is far in the future. “The immediate application of tele- | vision will be the visual presentation of the broadcast artists.” SEIZED YACHT FREED ON TREASURY ORDER| By the Associated Press. | WILMINGTON, N. ©, June 12— The Se-Tag, steam yacht of M.
