THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE 19, 1932—PART ONE. TELEVISION MAKES SECRET PROGRESS Reasonable Cost and Re- ceiver Design Two Impor- tant Problems Left. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, June 18.—Real tele- | vision can be seen only in the labora- | tories today. It is in these quarters, closed to all but the initiated, where the newly de- veloping art is being pushed ahead at a | faster pace than was believed possible | even a year ago. i At the same time, the task of turning a laboratory accomplishment into a practicabiiity is not an easy one, and it probably is too early to attempt a ! forecast of the date for the introduc- tion of television in the home. Two important problems remain to be ol ~the supplying of adequate pic- dcasts at a reasonable cost and ign of a receiver that won't Te- | quire too much of an outlay. i ke it from a young man who has | spent all of his days and many of his | nights and week ends for nine years crouching over apparatus too elaborate to describe. Progress Worth While. This engineer, Philo T. Farnsworth, whose penthouse work room in the Philco laboroto here has been aug- mented by two short-wave transmitters housed in a tower above an elevator | shaft, believes that, despite the handi- caps, he has made worth-while progress in the year that has elapsed since he | came from San Francisco. i His pa ar task is the perfection | of the cathode ray tube to provide elec: trical scanning both for transmitter an receiver, to replace the mechanically | operated disc of holes or lenses. And he has at least two recent ac- complishments that stand out. One is the design of a cathode receiver which will throw a picture on a screen. The other goes into the puzzle of a cathode ray scanner, or television cam- era, that can be used for direct pickup, such as living images, in the studio and out. In most cathode ray receivers the picture is seen on the end of the tube, the size of the image being fixed by the diameter of the flat end of the tube. | About 6 or 7 inches square is the maxi- mum that can be built up with this method. Accomplished by Farnsworth. | But by projection it is possible to | Jump this up to at least a foot. Farns- | worth has done just that, and at the | same time has lowered the cost of the cathode tube considerably.

A little COSDEN, OIL LEADER, TRIES COMEBACK Creditors Back Reorganization Plan—Member of “400” Was Host to Prince in 1924. — By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, June 18.—Joshua 8. Cosden, who has made and lost fortunes in American ofl industry, has taken a stride forward in his latest comeback effort. » is became apparent today when it w:’{h nmb:eoum:ed ;t’txl’n creditors holding 76 per cent of all claims against: the bankrupt Cosden Oil Co., in which Cos- den sank a large part of his latest for- tune, had come out in favor of a plan for reorganization of that company. The committee also reported that large blocks of the company’s capital stocks, as well as claims of creditors, had been proffered in its favor. “Josh” Cosden, who made a fortune in the Oklahoma fields and later en- tered New York's “400,” is chairman cof the Reorganization Committee. Should the plan be successful, and its propo- nents expect a favorable answer within three weeks, Cosden will again be an active factor in the oil business. He would head the reorganized company. The Cosden Oil Co. went into recei- vership in November, 1930. It had assets of $13,000,000, which substan- Nllly‘ exceeded its debts, but the com- pany’s cash was low and it could not meet current obligations. Cosden had advanced $615,000 of his own money to the company in a futile effort to avold recel: ip. Under the reorganization plan, it is proposed to form a new company to take over the assets of Cosden Oil. Cosden at one time had a fortune of $50,000,000. His heydey came in 1924 when he and Mrs. Cosden entertained the Prince of Wales and Lady Mount- batten in their Long Island home, —_— Gaithersburg Group Elects.
