Captain Merritt H. Greene. F. A.,
D. O. I... ,Artillery Instructor for the
National Guard units of this part of
the state, denied today that it was
the radio transmission set in the
Norwalk armory that was causing
' Inch interference to radio programs
as was aimed at in the "interior-
once Bill“ introduced into the Log-
Isleture by Representative Frank
Gregory.
"While it is perfectly possible to
pick lip our station on an ordinary
radio set. we certainly should not

ing stations. WMYC. which trans-
mits on 526 meters.
"We are so sharply tuned. that I
have seen the Norwalk armory
tuned right out one. local super-
'heterodyne set with a. movement of
two notches of the dial.
“That there is interference.- and
unlicensed interference in Norwuik,
I will admit. There is a. station here
that is very broad, and about on 365
meters. It. entirely kills broadcast-
ing from station \VHN. Some young
man in town has a. Ford spankcoil.
which hogs operating without a. li-
Cense." ~.
There are only two licensed sta-
tions in Norwaik, and neither of
them transmit by spark. Both use
the,tube transmission. or CW. The
Norwalk Armory can also use a
phone set, and transmit. by voice.
The Armory stations is regularly li-
censed to operate by the authorities
at Boston. Instruments at the Na-
tional Guard station can quickly (le-
tlnc a. wavelength, and wavemctcrs
indicate that. as Captain Greene
states. the local set is above station
\VNYC. .
“As to blankcting all programs."
Captain Green declares, "this is 4
fragment of imagination. At any
rate. there has been no transmission
front the Norwalk Armory for the
past ttn days. and if there has been
interference during that time it is
not from this source."
Captain Green stated that direc—
tinnal finding apparatus that was
mailablc at the armory did not in-
dicate the position of the person He
legally transmitting.
Suggested Automobile kgislntion.
(New Haven Journal-Courier)
“'e have received from the state
«'icpzlrtmvnt of motor vehicles. and
approved by Commissioner Robbins
ll. Stoccklc, a four {age circular sot-
tlng forth certain suggestions of :1
r" .
is the desire of the department to
elicit opinions bearing on these sug-
gestions in order to ascertain it pub-
lic opinion can be brought into sup-
port of them.
Among the suggestions we find
one tentatively recommending a. tin-
ancial ersponsibiiity act (or owners
of motor vehicles. The circular
says: "In general terms this will
provide that no owner or person en-
titled to register a. motor vehicle
shall receive such registration until
he shall have demonstrated to a
proper state autltgrity that he is
financially able t respond to any
judgment secured against him if
found to blame for personal injury
or property damage." Commission-
er Stoeckel appears to be a little
doubtful about the policyof such an
act, and says frankly: “This bill. as
presented. has man y arguments
against it. It is claimed to be dis-
criminatory against the poor man:
it would probably raise rates of in-
surance; and it. would be expensive
to rdminlstcr. Expert opinion is
generally against it. but. on the oth-
er hand. it provides a. process which
goes to the root of situations."
\Ve should surmise that it. would
require the ability of the greatest
legal statesmanshlp to draw an not
providing for a demonstration that
the owner of a car is financially able
to respond "to any judgment." sc-
cured against him, It the maximum
penalty is to be taken as the proof
of legal ownership. we should ex-
pect to see the use of motor vehicles
confined to socially exclusive class-
es: it the minimum penalty in order
to complete the demonstration. we
should expect to see the law neglect-
ed. The general suggestion smacks
a bit too much of the old political
practice of making financial respon-
sibllity a factor in granting citizen-
ship. The old arguments in its be-
half were similar in spirit to these
advanced n behalf or the succestml
