The friend was Frank A. Seiber- ling, known as the “Napoleon of the rubber industry.” The two men met in New York 20 years ago when Davis was president of the United States Tire & Rubber company and Seiberling was head of the Good- year Tire & Rubber company. Davis later quit the rubber in- * dustry and spent his entire fortune in-a vaig search for oil in Texas. Pressed for money, but confident he would strike oil, he appealed to 8eiberling, whom he had not seen for ten years. Seiberling loaned him $57,000. Davis struck oil, and sold his' holdings to the Standard Oil corhpany for $12,000,000. In 1920, finding himselt out of Goodyear and virtually ‘“broke,” Seiberling organized a rubber com- pany bearing . his name. His assets Mr. Rogers again caused the scene of operations to be transferred to New York, where Whiteman's Or- chestra concluded the broadcast by playing “Among My Souvenirs,” with a vocal. arrangement by Edgar Leslie and Horatio Nicholls, and| “Changes” by Walter Donaldson.

Forty-seven sta- tions scattered throughout the United States, including WEAF, New York, enabled radio-set owners in, every nook and corner of North America to hear the program. Every state in the Union was vir- tually linked into one radio ‘studio” hy means of 20,000 miles of wire to carry the voices of the participants in what was known as the Dodge Victory program. In addition, 10,000 miles of additional wires were used as a “Morse” circuit, by which tele- graphers at the various linked sta- tions and intervening test localities reported the condition of the vast chain to central headquarters. The concert cost more than $67, 000, or more than $1,000 per minute of operation. Of that amount it was estimated that approximately $26,000 was pald as fees to the four artists, about §35,000 went to the telephone and mechanical facilities incorporat- ed in the giant chain and about $7,- 600 was paid purely for the stations’ time on the air. Rroadoast Here The broadcast opened in New York at 10:30 o'clock when Phillip Carlin, from the National B?uu-nt- ing company studios, outllned the program for the hour and then in- troduced Will Rogers on the western cosst, as Mr. Rogers seated in "his Fome, listened to the introductory remarks with’ a pair of head tele- phones connected to the end of the transcontinental wire line which dis- tributed the main program to net- work stations. After a few seconds of pause, & 3core of engineers waiting at strat- eglc points along the trunk lne threw the necessary switches con- necting the Beverly Hills microphone to the main control ‘room in New York. Mr. Rogers then spoke for about eight minutes, commenting in his characteristic manner on world affairs, after which he introduced Paul Whiteman's orchestra in New | York, which was waiting before the microphene. . At this juncture the waiting line engineers again reversed the switch- es and for a few minutes the radio listeners heard the orchestra while it played Georgp Gershwin's “Rhap- sody in Blue.” Following the Whiteman program the metwork was again changed to ' Mr. Rogers’ home and he introduced Fred and Dorothy Stone in Chicago, who sang before a microphone plac. ed in the Erlanger theater of that' city. The Stone family entertained | for abeut 15 minutes with hits from some of their musical comedy suc- cesses, including “True Blue, by Miss Stone, assisted by the Criss Cross Four, the “Chinese Song™ from - “Chin Chin,” by Fred Stone, and ending with a duet by father and | daughter, “Down on the Farm,”' from “Tip Top.” * B Here the' program was again | switched te California and .
