TELEVISION DEBUT | 13 DUE TOMORROW, Columbia System to Give Its; ! First Program for Visual F Receivers. BY ROBERT MACK. i Television will make its radio net-| work debut tomorrow over the Colum- bia Broadcasting System. While the performance will be & erude, experimental example of what | visual broad-asting’s future holds, the | event nevertheless will be a red letter day for radjo. A scant few hundred people in a segregated Eastern portion of New York State having television re- ceivers will make up the combined “sight and sound” audience for the in- augural. But the sound transmission be carried throughout the land over most of Columbia’s 85 station outlets, N. B. C. Makes Plans. As Columbia strides forward in tele- | wision experimentation, the National Broadcasting Co. is proceeding quietly | with its visual broadcasting plans. A significant_event of the last few days was the announcement that the N. B. C. television transmitter would be located atop the new Empire State Building, in New York, the world's tallest structure. It was learned authoritatively today that N. B. C. hopes to offer regularly scheduled television programs in the New York area “within six or eight months.” Air tests now are being con- ducted in both the continental short waves and the ultra short waves by Radio Corporation of America adjuncts, of which the N. B. C. is one. Reports emanating from the R. C. A. labora- tories are to the effect that their sys- tem of television is vastly superior to any yet publicly demonstrated, offering images of excellent quality and dimen- sion. Daily Schedule Arranged. With the television premiere over Columbia’s new cxperimental station, ‘W2XAB, that station will inaugurate a daily schedule of visual broadcasts, in- cluding Sunday. covering seven hours. Television broadcasts will be maintained from 2 to 6 pm. and 8 to 11 p.m. Regular television schedules now are maintained by all but 5 of the 22 licensed experimental television stations, while a half dozen are offering sight synchronized with sound transmissions from regularly licensed stations. More and more applications for experimental visual stations are being received by the Radio Commission. i Announcement of Columbia’s opening follows several weeks of tests in which clear reception of the station's signals was reported from Boston, Hart Baltimore Camden, Schenectady ai Philadelphia, as well as New York’s metropolitan area. Station W2XAB is assigned the channel of 2,750 to 2.850 kilocycles with 500 watts power. The recognized standard scanning of 60 lines and 20 frames per second is used. (Copyright, 1931.) LIQUOR LEGACY WAITS U. . COLLECTOR'S HEIR| Mahoney Estate Beneficiary, in Ire- land, Must Come Here for Inheritance. i By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 20.—There’s $20,000 worth of old whisky and wine in a cellar in Chicago waiting for Patrick Mahoney of County Tipperary, Ireland. in case he wants to come over to America to help himself. The presence of the liquor was re- vealed in Probate Court when Attorney Walter Murphy, acting for the ad- ministrators of the estate of John J. Mahoney, former assistant deputy col- lector in the Internal Revenue Depart- ment, asked Probate Judge Henry Hor- ner for advice as to its disposilon. The former collector, who was & liquor dealer before prohibition, died last April, leaving a $50,000 estate, including the liquor, to his sole heir, Patrick. “What,” asked _Attorney Murphy, *am I going to do? This liquor is valued at $20,000. We can't ship it to Ireland; the cost would be too much. We can'tesell it under the law. Evidently Patrick will have to come here to drink it.” ¥ “That should be a hardship for him." said the judge, “but really your prob- lem is simple. Send an inventory of the estate to Patrick, get a receipt and let him worry about his liquor.” } Travels Far for 0ld Clock. ‘William Blake, wealthy fruit rancher of Salem, Oreg., has crossed the Ameri- ean continent and the Atlantic in quest of an_ ancient timeplece. For many generations Blake's family has possessed s grandfather clock as an heirloom, and he hopes to find it in Chester, England, #0 that he may claim it for himself.
