(Watch The Star for Derby News.) Television Machinery Shrinks Drastically By the Associated Press. NEW YORK—Television is shaw- ing tendencies to expand—that is'in all respects except the amount of apparatus required, particularly for outdoor pickups. For instance, when New York's tele-transmitter, operated by the National Broadcasting Co. with thé R. C. A. system, went into opera- tion in the spring of last year, two healthy-sized vans were required-to carry the equipment to televise football and other outdoor events. One had the apparatus to make the -camera function, the other carried the transmitter to relay the .signal to the main station on the Empire State Building. Now this all has been reduced to such an extent that only about one- tenth as much material, in weight, is needed. In fact, instead ot two motor vans, a station wagon or even & limousine can haul the equipment around, What’s more, the cost is one-sixth of the other unit. Tavernkeeper Is Held, He Puts Girls in Tights By the Associated Press. TEXARKANA, Ark., May 7—Ab- breviated costumges worn by young girls waiting on curb service cus- tomers led to charges of maintaining a nuisance against Roy Fenton, beer tavern operator. Haled into court yesterday, Fen- ton’s case was continued until May 16. There was no official explana- tion for the continuance but an informed source said officers had failed thus far to find an applicable statute. Several indignant housewives and & minister objected to the brief tights and satin blouses worn by the girls. Fenton said his business had in- creased 700 per cent.
