. TELLS OF WLEAN AND FALL HAVING MEETING | (Continued from First Page) [ IR | ing into his bank accounts, | The code telegram sent to McLean saying that “eved expects something,” Major continued, referred to Roches- ter, “I think eyed in the code meant \Mr. Rochester,” Major went on, “for 1 saw him on that day. He told me in substance what the telegram said and T put the message on the pri-| vate wire,” The code word for Rochester, he explained. was a part of the depart- ment of justice cipher, Pressed as to what it was he thought Rochester expected, Major said it was to tell him about sending a telegram to McLean. Senator Walsh pushed the examina- tion, “Rochester asked vou to the department of justice him he asked. “Yes, sir.” “And vou wired * then that (Rochester) expects something?" Expected Information “Yes sir. T imagined that Roches- ter would tell me what he knew about the inquiry. “What did you mean whi n you told McLean that Ttock * expects some- thing?™ Major then declared it meant that Rochester expectad to have something to tell. Another telegram mentioning “the party,” as expecting Major to sce him, the witness said, referred to C. Bas- com Slemp, secretary to the president, “Mr, Stemp asked me to come and see him,” Major said, *This was a purely social call on Nir. Slemp?” “Absolutely, T wasn't in Slemp's office three minutes.” Major expostulated that he had “scen at least 5,000 people since thig thing began and had told McLean about it, “T saw Mr. Slemp at the House and at his apartment Shorcham hotel,” Major said. “Did he give you any mes Senator Dill asked. “Yes, he did,” Major returned, “He told me to send Mr, and Mrs, VcLean his best regards and to say he only wished he could return to Florida be- cause his trip did him a world of good.” to see come and he Mr, White in the age?"” Ascertains Dates Senator Adams, democrat, Colorado, fixed some dates, tochester wired McLean on Janu- ary 16 about the committee’s search for bank accounts, it appeared, and had given Major the same information January 18, “So if it wasn't news, when you tele- graphed it?"” Senator Adams asked, “It was to me,” Major replied, *T didn’t know Rochester had wired it previously,” Unable To Explain Senator Walsh put in a telegram mentioning “Willis” and “Lambert” at the same time. Tt was a challenge of the witness' satement that his term "Willis” meant Lambert, “Have you any explanation to make of this?” asked the senator. “You want to know why T call him Willis one time and Lambert anoth- er,” sald Major. That's part of it,” rejoined Senator 1Ish, “There's no explanation,” the wit- noss finally responded. There was a ripple of laughter and Major added: “Our telegrams show we haven't been using ordinary language.” He then began to explain that he had “got a new code” into himself and couldn't get the department of justice code. “I never could get my hands on that code book,” he said, *“and 1| didn’t want to be going all over town looking for Duckstein whenever 1 wanted 1o send a message,” B & O It B MEN A Members of the New Britain Traffic burcau were addressed at their monthly luncheon at the Burritt ho- te today by ¢. H. Pumphrey, general| freight agent, and J. W, Kelley, New | today's foreign cxchange market, The WORLD RECORD FOR RECEPTION Cicago Staion Heand 7000 Miles Away | e | So far as reported to date no radio | the | telephone broadcast has circled i globe, but the spoken radio message nearly | When | and music have been heard half way around the earth, Ithe latter is actually accomplished it may be said that the world has been ed by the radio wave, which of | course travels in both dircctions. Dur- ing the present season of best radio transmission in the northern hemi: phere, which is practically the third on for general radiophone broad- | casting, un increasing number of Am- | erican dio stations ave reporting | long distar reception that is truly | remarkable, and each in turn is put- ting forth claims to the distance rec- ord. A few weeks ago WJAZ at Chicago, | which claims to have been the first of | the several stations in the United | States whoso broadcasts have been picked up by the Donald McMillan | polar expedition now frozen in within | the Arctic Cirele, reported that one | { its broadcasts was logged in the | moan Islands, a distance of about 7,000 miles from Chicago. During| the Brazilian exposition carly last | year the Westinghouse station erected | on the mountain overlooking the bay at Rio Janiero was reported picked up by a receiver in Hawali, an air| line distance somewhat in excess of | the Chicago broadecast. About middle of February the Twin City Ra- dio central WLAG at Minneapolis, St.| Paul, Minn., received noti; tion of | the reception of ast in | Batum, Russia, 6,623 miles away. At about the same time station WGY at | Schenectady, N. Y., received a letter | from Captown, South Africa, that its | program on the night of nuary 4| had been recorded by a listener there. The airline distance from Schenectady to Capetown is 7,850 miles or about | one-third of the distance around the | earth, But the real long distance record for radiophone broadeasting of both spoken words and musie, which still remains unbroken, was established by station WHAZ at the Renssclacr Poly- technic Institute, Troy, N, Y., more than a v ago, when during the first week of February, 1923, spocial programs broadeast during the early hiours of the morning, were clearly heard on four successive days by L. . Steele, official Awarua receiver at Invercargill, W Zealand, an airline distance of 9,577 miles from Troy, or nearly 2,000 miles further than any other radiophone broadeast has yot been received, That it was nmot a mere chance reception, however sat- isfactory even that might be, is evi- denced by the fact that it was made on several successiva days, and the further fact that the WHAZ weekly Lbroadgasts are frequently reported from distances in excess of 5,000 miles, although the hours of regular broadeasting, from % p. m. to 1 a. m., lastern Standard timé! are not the | best for trans-Pacific reception, Al. most weekly reports come to the Troy Polytechnie station of the simultane. ous reception in Hawal, Central America, Alaska, and the British Tsles, The remarkable part of distance re- | ception is that nearly all of these re- | ports are to stations, which like WHAZ, are using only a 500-watt out- put.
