ASSOCIATED • PRESS , DISPATCHERS VOLUME XXVI ATTORNEY GENERAL AGAIN QUESTIONED ABOUT DEPARTMENT Says He Will Test Law in An Effort to Get Data From the Federal Trade Commission. NOTHING DONE SO FAR IN MATTER Does Not Know That De partment Sought Evt t dence Against Aluminum Company. ' 53 ■Washington, Jan. 9.-^(P)—Unde* further questioning by a Senate im vestigating committee, Attorney-Gen eral Sargent said today he would test out the right of the Justice Depart ment to secure necessary evidence in the department inquiry into the- con duct of the Alumnum Company of America. , It has been charged that some of the evidence against the company irt "Tiif’.i Secretary Mellon is a heavy stockholder, has been locked up in the files of the federal trade commission which some time ago declared the cqm , Pany guilty of improper trade prac tices. Yesterday Mr. Sargent told the committee he did not recall, any effort on the part of his department to se cure this evidence. He also said he did not recall when he first heard of the Aluminum case, but today he said he had ascertained that his attention first was railed to the matter on March 25, 1025. Today Sir. Sargent was aoked di rectly by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, what “your department has done to get this information” from the trade commission. “This is still aV present matter," was the reply. “It lias just now come to my‘attention.” Senator Iloralt, Republican, of Ida ho, then asked if it was the present purpose to demand more information from the commission, and Mr. Sargent replied that he would test out the right of the Justice Department to obtain the' necessary evidence.

B.—The Ameri can Tobacco Company and the Im perial Tobacco Company of Great Britain Were declared not responsible for the “difficulties impeding prog ress” of the organized tobacco grow ers in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina in a report submitted to 'the Senate today 1 by the federal trade commission. The report, which was compiled by direction of a resolution introduced Inst February, by Senator Ernst, Re publican, Kentucky, inquiring whether the two companies bad any inter relation or were fighting the co-opera tive marketing associations, declared no evidence had been found “of il legal agreements, combinations or con spiraciet” between them in the buy ing.and selling of tobacco. On the other hand, criticism was directed at some of the methods of the Trl-State Tobacco Growers’ As sociation an organization of Virginia, Nor(b Carolina and South Carolina growers of corn tip tobacco with head quarters at Richmond, Ya„ which the report stated, had largely brought about the Senate request for investi gation.

In New York City fully $5,000,000 a year is spent fighting them. With reference to the American and Imperial companies, the report said there was no evidence of their violation of the Supreme.

Further, it was added, “the charge that, the Imperial. Company has circuitously promoted tobacco cul ture in Georgia was found to be en tirely without foundation in fact.” , Taking up the Tri-State Associa tion methods, the report said there was “policy of excluding exporters and dealers as purchasers of green tobacco, resulting in larges ship meats to redrying plants” which “manifestly benefltted n number of the s>-operative’s officials, including the majority of its sales staff and several directors through' their finan cial interests in redrying plants.” .

New York, Jan. S. —IP)—The chief difficulty in the transmission of mo tion pictures by wire, says V. K.j Zworykin of the Wextinghouse Re-j search Laboratories, is that of suvdi-; viding the field into small enough units for transmission, so' that when they are enlarged upon a screen they pre sent a definite image of the object. Zworykin is the inventor of the light cell by which impulses arc trans lated into mechanical operations. He finds the problem of motion picture transmission theoretically possible, but the mechanical difficulties are by j no means overcome. Another year may result in a solution. The light cell, whieh is a oombina ■ tion of the principle in the radio tube and a photo-electric phenomena dis covered years ago by Halwaek, is now S used successfully by the All-America Cables for printing cable dispatches sent across the Atlantic. The electric impulse coming across the cable is so slight that hitherto it lias been impos sible to use mechanical printers to l record the dispatches. The light cell catching the ray of ' light reflected from a mirror galvano meter, sensitive to the smallest elec- I trical umpulses, translates the light rays into electrical impulses strong enough to operate printing devices, which record the dots and dashes. Halwaeb discovered that the impact produced an electrical effect. Ist ter experimenters showed that the light of light upon certain alkaline metals rays enused electrons to be discharged from the metal. In the Zworykin light cell a thin coating of the metal upon which the light nets is placed in a position such that the discharged electrons will add their impulse to the, circuit in the ra dio bulb nnd permit current to flow. The process of amplification intensi fies the current to a point capable of operating mechanical devices. The light cell also is used now in. sub-station transformers on lines up on which heavy electrical currents are •carried to detect smoke in case of fire,, mechanically set off fire extinguishing devices and notiwy the nearest sta-, 1 .fitor fn*n whietr employes can JbC&eaV , to remedy the trouble. Mr. Zworykin said that the light cell ■was beginning to find wide applica tion in industry. Among other things it is used nice ha ideally to test the film ament of radio tubes. It enables them to be manufactured with a uniformity which no other method of testing makes possible. The inventor has an apparatus in his home by which the electric lights are automatically turned on at dusk by employing the light cell. He said that the draughts in the furnace might be automatically opened as eas ily with the rising of the sun. Davidson Qubit Wins From Duke University. Davidson, Jan. B.—Davidson fought desperately tonight to win 32 to 31 from Duke university opening the North Carolina college basketball season with the hardest contested game seen on the local floor in three years. The Wildcats established a com fortable lend in the first few minutes of play but toward the end of the first half the Duke team, lead by Hartness, cut this down until David son finished the first half with only a field goal margin at 17 to 15- As the second period began David son shot ahead again for a few min utes but with the return of Bullock (the Duke quint started a rally that brought them within a foul goal of the Wildcats. For the last 12 min utes the two teams battled desper ately with Davidson ever leading by a single field or foul goal. The accurate shooting of Huie at middle distance shots coupled with the scoring power of Anderson, Dav idson's right guard, was the margin . of victory for the Wildcats. Harri son showed great speed on the court . as did Hartness, the scoring ace of the Duke team. . Grange is Made Defendant hi 850,- 000 Suit. Chicago, Jan. 9.—Harold “Red" .

I (Protest Is Filed by Ameri .! can Ambassador at Mex ! ico City Upon Orders! 'j Sent From Washington. SAY LAW WILL HURT AMERICANS I' No Uncertain Terms Used by This Government in Filing the Protest With Mexican Government. Washington, Jan. !).—GP>—Formal representations against retroactive features of the new Mexican anti-alien ) Inml law have been filed with the Mex ican foreign office by American Am bassador Sheffield. The action of the Washington gov ernment was taken after prolonged diplomatic "nterchanges which failed to remove either from the land loans or the ne\y petroleum act those fea tures which are held here to violate assurances given by the Mexican gpv ernment at the time diplomatic recog nition was accorded it by Washington in 1023. In informing the Mexican foreign office of the displeasure resulting here from the new Mexican laws, the State Department has spoken in direct and forceful terms of the injury it feels will be done to American interests if the legislation goes into effect. Both statutes are based upon the celebrated Article 27 of the Mexican constitu tion. against the application of which the-United States has more than once protested. The document presented by Ambas sador Sheffield does not say what steps this government may find necessary to take if it is unable to obtain adequate assurances for the protection of prop erty interests of Americans in Mexico. It is considered probable, however, that the ambassador's verbal represen tations supplementing the written doc ument may have given a clear indi cation of what may be expected. There is every reason to believe that President Coolidge and Secretary Kel logg intend to stang squarely upon the public declaration of Mexican policy made some time ago bjjvthe Sec- AetaTy. In this declaration'jffv.Kel 'logg said that “the goverahnent of' Mexico is now on trial before the world” and continued: “It should be made clear that this government will continue to support the government in Mexico only so long as it protects American lives and Am erican rights, and complies with its international engagements and obliga tions.” Although officials here are careful ly avoiding open comment on the pres ent situation in view of the diplomatic exchanges now in progress there is no doubt that State Department officials who have studied carefully the new Mexican laws are convinced they not only fail to protect American interests, bttt affirmatively violate those inter ests by compelling American citizens who have made bona fide investments south of the border either to give them up entirely or sell at a confiscatory price.

SENATORS GIVE THEIR OPINIONS Some Want No New Li censes Allowed While Others Want Some of Present License Revoked Washington, Jan. 9. —GP)—The government radio policy of renewing broadcast licensee rather than consid ering new applications will create franchises worth millions of dollars, Senator Howell, Republican, of Ne braska, told the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee today at a hear ing on his bill to assure ownership of the air by the public. Stephen C. Davis, solicitor of the Department of Commerce, said the gov ernment had no alternative than to renew licenses so long as operations of stations was conducted properly. "We cannot refuse to renew a li cense’ merely becamse some one else wants it,” he said, “but we can keep complete control of the situation by limiting licenses to 90 day periods. It is true we are almost in the fran chise field." Senator Couzens, Republican, of Michigan, expressing the fear that this policy would permit air monopoly in the radio field, proposed that own | crgltip of broadcasting stations be re > stricted. Referring specifically to the Cross ly station in Cincinnati, Mr. Davis said the government would continue renewing the Crossley license rather than favoring other applicants for it. Regulation of the rental of broad casting stations was proposed by Senator Gooding, Republican, of Ida ho. after Mr. Davis had said he un derstood a price of S6OO an hour has been paid for the use of a station, j He predicted that eventually the radio industry would be classified as a pub ; lie utility and regulated accordingly.
