BUSINESS IS ON UPGRADE, SAYS RADIO CHIEFTAIN Outlook for Industry Is ‘Splendid,’ Declares J. Clarke Coit. By United Pret* CHICAGO, June 11.—The President of the Radio Manufacturers’ Association can't repair his own radio, he admitted today, but as the genius who built a small town plant into a million-dollar business in twenty months, he believes that the outlook for industry is "splendid.” He is J. Clarke Coit, a former lowa farm boy. who started his career as a hardware store clerk at *3.75 a week. He assumed today the presidency of the association, following his election at its annual convention here. The bottom of the depression was reached last December, Coit said, and it will be only a short time until business begins climbing the hill. Many Are Optimistic Coit’s optimistic view of the business situation was upheld by scores of others among the 25,000 delegates attending the convention. Gathered around thousands of radio display models of every type—with a total value of about $1,000,000 they declared that business is better and sales will be back to normal or better by autumn. Coit was born in Missouri Valley, la., fifty-five years ago, and went to Omaha, Neb., when he was 15. His $3.75 a week job led to the presidency of the company in 1919. Financial interests drew him into the radio business, and now he is president of the United States Radio and Television Company of Marion, Ind. Have Separate Fields Coit believes the controversy over competition between radio and the newspapers is groundless. The radio has assisted newspaper business. Newspapers have built up the radio industry and each has its separate field, he said. "Whether radio broadcasting of news is infringement on newspaper territory is a matter for the broadcasting companies and stations to consider,” he said. "Whatever they may decide, we know that the benefit to be derived from newspaper advertising is immense.” YOUTHS ADMIT CRIMES Confessions Clear Mystery of Two Fires and Ten Robberies.

GERMANY PLANS 3-WAT PARLEY ON REPARATIONS British, U. S. Chiefs to Be in Berlin at Same Time. BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN. Jjine 11.—A three-cor-nered conference on war debts and reparations among the United States, Great Britain and Germany during the forthcoming visit of Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state, was anticipated in government quarters today. Arthur Henderson, British foreign secretary, will arrive in Berlin about the same time that Stimson reaches the German capital, it was learned. He and Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald of Britain were invited to come to Berlin for further conversations on Germany’s economic and financial problems. The presence here of both Henderson and Stimson at the same time, it was indicated, almost inevitably will lead to a consultation among these statesmen and the government leaders concerning reparations and war debts. The German officials nope that the presence of Henderson will help to impress upon Stimson the urgency of decisive action. It further was indicated that German diplomats would be Instructed to make contacts with Andrew Mellon, secretary of treasury, who is reported planning to come to Europe soon. The government meanwhile intends to postpone the declaration of a moratorium until after Stimson’s visit.' Stimson is expected in Berlin the week of July 21 to 28. The postponement of the moratorium, however, will not deflect the government’s plan to pursue its real goal, namely, a three-year reparations holiday.
