TELEVISION IS IN TRANSATLANTIC STAGE, REPORT

Transmissions From Europe Recorded in U. S., Report States.

By WATSON DAVIS

Science Service Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 30.—Reception of television transmissions from London and Berlin at Riverhead, N. Y. was reported to the

International Scientific Radio Union and the Institute of Radio Engineers meeting jointly here this morning. These signals were on 40 to 45megacycle frequencies, which are shorter in wavelength than even the short, waves commonly receivable with present short wave sets. H. O. Peterson and D. R. Goddard of R, C. A. Communications explained that daily observations of these trans-Atlantic signals had been made since the middle of January. Such short waves are generally not considered to travel much farther than the eye can see. But direction measurements showed that at times the signal arrived from the reverse direction over the longest way around the world.

JAPANESE ELECTORS PICK LEGISLATORS

By United Press TOKYO, April 30.—Japanese electors voted for the 466 members of a new House of Representatives today, and the country awaited a new battle between the Parliament and the army-approved Cabinet of Gen. Enjuro Hayashi, the Premier. Voting was quiet. The weather was clear. It was expected that the first count tonight would reveal whether there was an appreciable change in the complexion of the House. It will take two days to count the full vote, FLOOD TO BE TOPIC Charles Brossman, Scientech Club member, will tell the club about Ohio River flood control at the meeting Monday in the Board of Trade Building.

the usable signal strength is usually limited by this astronomical interference. : Hope that scientists will be able to predict radio transmission conditions a month or more in advance was held out by A. K. Ludy of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and A. G. McNish of the Carnegie Institution’s department of terrestrial magnetism. To correlate more closely the activity of the earth’s magnetic field with radio transmission, these scientists are compiling a twice-daily measure of the magnetic conditions as observed at seven world-wide stations. These ‘‘character figures” will be distributed throughout the world and are expected to reveal practically useful relations between radio and the earth's magnetism.
