RADIO TO PROFIT ASHOOVERTAKES HEADOFPATENTS Commerce Secretary to Aid American Manufacturer in Foreign Fields, Rv Timf* Rvecial WASHINGTON, March 28. American radio inventors and manufacturers will profit tremendously l>y the transfer of the Patent Office from the Interior to the Commerce Department by an executive order of the President. Aside from expediting the issue of patents, due to the large number of applications, of which there are more than 2,000 relating to radio pending, tne chief object of the transfer was the removal of present Injustices suffered by American manufacturers in foreign fields, oecretary Hoover has pledged himse'f to vigorously promote such a campaign. “At the present time,’ said Secretary Hoover, "an American citizen is required in many foreign countries to continuously manufacture in that country under his patent or lose his patent rights. We make no such requirement in the United States. The consequence is that our in- \ enters and manufacturers in order to protect their inventions have been driven to the establishment of a large number of factories abroad, whereas foreign patentees have oeen able to use their patents in the United States to actually prevent manufacture here. Pactions Established Abroad "A list of many large manufacturers established by American capital abroad in order to protect their patents could be enumerated whereas there has been no establishment of manufacture in this country for this i-eason. In fact, a foreign patentee, by registering his patent in the United States, can hold it for seventeen years and prevent manufacture of the article in the United States. "This is but one of the discriminations now in progress. There is to be an international convention for the protection of industrial property, at the Hague on Oct. 8, 1925, at which the American Government is to be represented and where proposals will be made for the equitable and equal treatment o fpatentees in all countries, if this convention shall fail to secure primary justice for American patentees, we shall ask for a ‘complete revision of the patent laws of the United States which will bring tihs about. "Moreover, other burdens put upon American, patentees in foreign countries discourage the American inventor from registering his patents and securing the rights which should naturally come to him from his invention, while we give every facility in the United States. Want Nothing But Equality "We shall propose nothing but equality in these questions and we intend to follow' up the matter with utmost vigor. "Pour years ago the Patent Office was 15 months behind in Its work—that is, it was 15 months after the receipt of an application before that application could be considered. Under support given by Congress, the fine administration of Secretary Work and Commissioner Robinson this period has been reduced to 7 months It is my hope that further support and continued vigorous administration will bring the Bureau up to date in its work within the next year or two.” MICROPHONE CEREMONY Station WBCN to Broadcast Tribal Adoption Rite.

Whenever you feel a little blue, twist the dials around to WCX and listen to the Red Apple Club, a sure cure for the blues. Do not be surprised If,- on tuning in on the new station of Warner Bros., KPWB at Hollywood, you find a familiar voice handling the microphone. Edward Murphy, he of the deep voice, was drafted from the ranks of KHJ for the new station. Prisoners are having their chance to show what talents that they possess as radio entertainers. WEE I of Boston, and WIP, Philadelphia, have both given ua some excellent programs that have been put on entirely by prison talent. These men no doubt enjoy the experience as much as those for whom they sang and played. Since listening to several of these programs we feel that some of the arthsts in. should be out and some of the artists out, should be in..

(.right spoil, on the week's programs. This group of artists is among the best to be heard. Programs are always well balanced and move along as smoothly />-. a well oiled machine. Here you wiu And reel talent and a program director that knows just; how a radio program should be put across to be properly enjoyed. During the past several weeks we have had many inquiries from different persons regirding radio receivers wanting to know what we thought about changes in receiving sets and If any would take place within the next two or three months. It 5s the writer’s opinion that the next decade will witness no further startling developments of radio science in so far as receiving apparatus is concerned. Many Improvements on standard sets will be made which for a small cost can be added to the ores in preseit use. The person who Is waiting for the arrival of the so-calk-d “ultimate - ’ rad*o set is very likely to remain a 'isionary to the end. Radio has made such strides in the three years during which it has gained univeisal popularity that a

majority of the public has failed to tealize there would be an end to Its advancement. And, accordingly, they have been unreasonable In their expectations of receiving sets. They are somehow unaware as yet that the “ultimate" set is here. A similar state existed a number of years ago when the automobile was graduating out of Its infancy. Prospective buyers were putting off the purchase of an automobile for fear that immediately after they bought one a far better type would be developed. Nowdays no one hesitates to buy a car for that reason. Radio is undergoing exactly the same process. Now It Is at the peak of tnat stage. Os course

I do not want to go on record as saying that radio has reached the absolute height of perfection. That would be grossly misrepresentative. But I do contend that nothing short of a miracle will bring forth a receiver that will be a radical departure from the circuits now employed in the various types of radio receivers. Receivers that were built several years ago are today giving just as good service as when first used and will continue to do so for many years to come.
