NAVY REJECTS HAMMOND'S NEW EIGHT-MESSAGE RADIO MACHINE
VALUEIS
SEEN IN
DEVICE
Extremely Complicated Re
ceiving Set Would Be De
manded by This Invention
By ROBERT 8. THORNBURGH
A remarkable invention by John
Hays Hammond, jr., son of the
widely known capitalist-engineer,
by which it is possible to trans
mit from a single machine eight
separate radio signals on the
same Wave length, has been ex
amined by Navy experts, and
while they believe “it has enor
mous possibilities,” .it has been
-found impracticable for service
use at present, it was learned
today.
Uses Single Carrier Waves
Officials who studied the Ham*
mond device expressed the opinion
that Its operation on wave lengths
between 200 and 600, where most
broadcasting takes place, would
complicate rather than solve the
present congestion in radio com
munication channels.
They pointed out, however, that
the Hammond invention operates on
very low wave lengths, or high
frequencies, now employed exclu
sively for special or experimental
purposes. Its possible application
to the higher * wave lengths was
studied since it is the relief of over
crowding in this channel that is
necessary to meet the interference
problem.
Briefly, experts said, the Ham
mond machine makes possible the
broadcasting on a single wave
length of eight separate signals
through the use of a distinct net
of "sub-frequencies.”
Therefore, it would be theoretical
ly possible to combines eight sta
tions and transmit the various pro
grams of each simultaneously from
a single machine, on a single wave
length, thus releasing seven other
channels for the use of other sta
tions. If successful it would mean
that over 4,500 stations could oper
ate where but 600 are now on the
air.
Experts explained that the device
operates with a single “carrier
wave,” but with eight sub-fre
quencies, superimposed en the origi
nal wave.
Receiving Set
They declared that a receiving set
to “catch” broadcast programs from
the multiple-signal machine wouid
require not only one detector with
its tube, coil and set of dials for
the carrier wave, but a second de
tector and accessories to get the
■ub-frequency signal. This' receiv
ing set would be extremely compli
cated to build and operate.
None of the 5,000,000 commercial
sets in operation in the United
States would be capable of receiv
ing the multiple signals, but ex
perts consider it possible that with
proper development of receivers
and broadcasting stations, multiple
broadcasting may ultimately prove
a, solution of interference.
The ordinary receiver tuning in
on a multiple signal station would
got a heterodyne squeal, similar to
that noticed when two or more sta
tions are operating on the same
wave length. The carrier wave
could be picked up but not the sub
frequencies.
A second objection found by ex
perts was in the creation by the
multiple signal machine of a greater
number of harmonies. A station
operating on a given wave creates
a first harmonic or “undertone" at
half its wave length.
“If eight signals are being trans
mitted on a 500-meter wave eight
harmonies are created at 250 meters,
causing just eight times the present
interference,” an expert said.
Officials said that the Hammond
device is aimed at doing in the
air what has been acomplished on
telegraph and telephone cables,
where a number of different signals
are sent simultaneously on the same
wire. No harmonic difficulty is
found on wire transmission.
The suppression of harmonies is
one of the big problems of radio
engineering which has not yet been
worked out successfully. Elimina
tion of these curious “undertones”
will go a long way toward meeting
’ the interference problem, officials

Bill Will Be Introduced in
Congress to Curb Power of
Kellogg Over Aliens
The Karolyi case Is to be fought
out on the floors of Congress, it
appeared certain today.
Countess Karolyi, wife of the one
time president of the Hungarian re
public, has been instructed to file
a new application in Paris for a
passport to the United tSates, em
phasizing that the purpose of her
visit is solely tp be a guest at the
home of Ralph Beaver Strassburger,
wealthy Norristown, Pa., Republican
leader.
If Secretary of State Kellogg per
sists then in denying her admittance
to the country, a bill is to be intro
duced in the next Congress repeal
ing that portion of the Immigration
Act which reposes in the Secretary
of State autocratic power to bar
foreign visitors.
This plan of campaign was
mapped out following Strassburger’s
failure to induce either Kellogg
or President Coolidge to allow
Countess Karolyi to enter the
United States. Kellogg contends,
she ’.holds communistic views and
the President supported Kellogg
as a matter of administration policy.
Senator William E. Borah (Rep.)
of Idaho probably will sponsor the
Congressional -move to take away
Kellogg’s power in such cases. It
is already assured wide support
from both Republicans and Demo
crats, who believe it is inconsist
ent with American tradition for
the State Department, to extend
ceremonial courtesies to princes and
monarchial representatives and at
the same time deny admittance to
an advocate of the American style
of government.
Countess Karolyi’s friends declare
she is not a Communist, but a
Republican, opposed to the Horthy
regency in Hungary, which over
threw the short-lived Hungarian
republic. ,

Stolen Tuesday Night
The 500-pound safe stolen from
the American Oil Company’s office,
Relee. Va., last Tuesday night, and
for which Arlington county officials
have been searching ever since, was
found today in a swamp about a
quarter of a mile from the office,
by Royal L. Cooper, a ten-year-old
colored boy, while playing.
. Badly battered, with the door
completely torn off, the safe was
found empty. Mr. Someborn, man
ager of the American Oil Company,
said the strong box contained about
$1,200 when stolen, of which only
SIOO was in cash, the rest being in
checks on which payments had been
stopped.
The safe was wheeled from the
front door of the office and on to
the railroad track. Taken to the
secluded spot in the swamp near
the Columbia pike and there opened
by the thieves, is the opinion held
by Someborn. ‘
Arlington officials are keeping a
close lookout for the guilty parties,
and, according to Someborn, arrests
are expected shorlty.
CARRIED JOKE ON THIS

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 23.—Bald
headed men are sometimes liable to

of a too scanty supply of hair, ac

man of the Pennsylvania compensa
tion board, who told of a humorous
incident which ended in a tragedy,
in the course of an address on the
workings of the board, at the
monthly meeting of the Philadelphia
Personnel Association.
An extraordinary accident, in
which a bald-headed man was the
principal, recently came before the
attention of the board. In a certain
office in a large industrial concern
was a bald-headed man, who fre
quently was the butt of his com
rades’ jokes. One day a fellow
worker tried to kiss the unfortunate
man on his bald head-. During the
ensuing struggle, the bald-headed
man fell to the floor and broke his
neck. Upon his death, his widow
apepaled to the board for compensa
tion. which was granted.
