RALPH L. POWER Two high-power Intermediate frequency transmitters are being delivered to the U.S.S. Texas and California tor test. It is not at all certain that the hljh power will give a sufficiently greater distance to warrant the weight, space and cost of Vie transmitter nor that so much power can be handled without insulation difficulties. The results will determine whether addiucnal high-power transmitters will be purchased for all Lat-tlaships or whether they will standardize on a lower power.

The Navy Department Bureau of Engineering states that practically all radio material necessary for the modernization of the equipment on destroyers and light mine lavers has been purchased. The final dats for the completion of the project has been tentatively set at July 1 of next year. TESTS FOR SUBMARINES One of the Immediate problems is the designing and provision of satisfactory apparatus for two classes of submarines to bi ing their radio installations to date. The Bureau of Engineering and the naval research laboratory at Bellevue, as well as commercial companies, are co-opera ung in an effort to expedite the solution. A recent change In the characteristics of submarine transmitters will result In the diversion to mine sweepers of ten intermediate frequency vacuum tube transmitters onsonally purchased for submarines.

When the intermediate frequency tube transmitters for destroyers are delivered under current contract, commencing next January, there will be available for installation on auxiliary vessels twenty-six of the older model transmitters that are now installed on destroyer flagships. RADIO COMPASS PROBLEMS When the transfer of material is made all of the large auxiliary vessels in active commission will bo equipped with modern tube transmitters. All eUorts are belns made to obtain a new radio compass which will satisfactorily meet the high standard demanded by the service for shipboard use. A sample compass designed at the Bellevue laboratory ana a modern commercial type comoass rere tested comparatively on the USS Florida and at Deer Island radio compass station. Neither compass was entirely satisfactory although both showed siderable improvement over the types now in use.

The laboratory making certain improvements in its design of, compass and in the meantime It is intended to purchase a number of commercial compasses for Installation and further test in the fleet. CARRIE JACOBS BOND AT STUDIO OF KELW Carrie Jacobs Bond, noted composer, is scheduled "on" the 'program at 12:33 p.m. tomorrow at KELW, according to the station manage- ment. This will be followed by a lour-hour broadcast of records presenting the opera "Rlgoletto." the plrying of which will apparently be the first time that a four-hour 'program of this type has been given from a Southern California tlon, FELIX ORMAN EN KFI SERIES Felix Orman over KFI at 2:45 p.m. today will continue his series of weekly discussions on motion pictures, representing his observations of seven years abroad and touching upon various international Aspects of the film industry.

Effect of New Bill on Veteran Aid Considered Interpretation of the Tyson-Fitzgerald bill, involving retirement and compensation of emergency officers, is being made by attorneys of Southern California for local veterans under the leadership of Prank Irwin, commander of Sawtelle Chapter, Disabled American Veterans of the World War. Whether veterans who were compensated under the presumptive clause of the Reed-Johnson bill will be eligible for retirement under the new law is basis for the queries being sent out by veteran officials. That veterans who were compensated under the first bill will not come under the Tyson-Fitzgerald bill is the declaration of the general counsel of the United States Veterans' Bureau in a ruling received here by Gen.

The donor desired special research clinics in certain diseases should be established besides the regular hospital work of caring for sick and afflicted, regardless of their religious belief. In 1905, Mrj. Olmsted conceived the idea of leaving her estate for a hospital, and at that time, and again in 1907.

created a board of trustees to carry out the project after her death. Following her death, however, dispute over the control of the charitable trusts arose, and the matter has been in the courts until now.

NEW CATALOGUE CN REQUEST i Jjj -1 if BY GRACE Faramount'B first all all-talking motion picture will be "Interference," the first Broadway stage success to be transferred to the screen with 100 per rent spoken dialogue, according to information disclosed today by officials of Paramount-Famous Lasky Corporation. Although the synchronization of this production has been under way during the past four weeks at the company's Hollywood studios, plans to release it with complete spoken dialogue from beginning to- end were not revealed generally untU today, when Jesse L.

Lasky announced the decision. Coming with Lasky's announcement was the further disclosure that half of the synchronization of "Interference" has already been quietly accomplished, and that the production will be ready for exhibition throughout the country the latter part of November. "Interference," as you will remember, is an adaptation of the noted stage play by Roland Pert-wee and Harold Dearden. Roy J. Pomeroy, chief of sound effects at Paramount, is drecting' Evelyn Brent, William Powell, Doris Kenyon and Clive Brook are the principals, and all are of wide experience on the stage and in pictures.

FRED NEWMEYER WINS BIG FOX COMMISSION Fred Newmeyer, who recently severed an association of approximately five years as director of Harold Lloyd in his many triumphs, was yesterday hand ed one of tho choice directorial plums of the year by William Fox, thus commemorating the entry of the former into the free -lance ranks. The strictest secrecy surrounds the theme and plot of the story which Newmeyer has been engaged to make, but according to Sol Wurtzel, general superintendent of the coast studios, the picture is to be of gigantic proportions, will entail an approximate outlay "of $1,000,000, and will rival in universal appeal "What Price Glory" and "Seventh Heaven." The story is temporarily titled "Calamity," and the finishing touches to the screen version are being effected by a staff of writers under the supervision of Luther Reed. The picture will have talking sequences throughout, and will be the fourth sound picture for which Newmeyer is responsible, the others being "Warming Up," "The Night Bird," and "It Can Be Done." Michael Vavitch In Sound Film While there is nothing definite about It as yet. it seems fairly certain that Michael Vavitch. noted Russian singer, will play the role of Ali-Ben-All In Warner Brothers' fllmization of "The Desert Song." It is known that Lionel Brahm, who is singing the role on the stage, has been approached, but Brahm has a contract with David Belasco, and must return East as soon as passible as the operetta ceases running here.

Pathe Tests Sound Device A good time was had by all at the Pathe studios yesterday, when everybody that is anybody out there foregathered on the new soundproof stage to witness the first extensive tests of the new talking apparatus.

Leslie Pearce regarding the Pacific Coast opening of his play at the Holly wood Music Box.

Dixie McCoy has made several additions to the cost of "Tarnish." Besides Albert Gran. Virginia Valli. and Barton Hepburn, she has signed Pauline Garon. screen player, for the role of Nettle Dark, the vamp of the plot. Others engaged are Fan Bourse, Marie Turner Gordon and Mattle Edwards.

Miss McCoy will take over the management of the Music Box the 25th on which date "Tarnish" will be presented for the first time in the West. LIKES DRAMA, MAKES COMEDY HIS SAD LOT Although rated one of the most successful comedy-drama directors in the film industry, Richard Wallace, whose latest achievement, "The Butter and Egg Man," opens at the Hillstreet next week, cherishes a strong desire to direct an intensely dramatic opus.
