E. Butterfleld (Associated Press Radio Editor) NEW YORK The division of opinion over what section of the wave spectrum la to be the locale for per manent television continues. Some think that the allotted spaces between 100 and 200 meters are Just the thing, while others speak as strongly for the . waves under ten meters. One argument for the higher of the short waves Is the demonstrated fact that these channels are Ideal for dis tance transmission of 100 miles or more. The other side admits this con dition, but comes back with the state ment that these waves tend to eltj over local areas, giving poor reception results. . - The tiny waves, around seven met ers, are the ones that can be de pended upon, they say, to deliver a good signal to this local area. But tests have demonstrated that around 60 miles Is the maximum distance that can be obtained at present. May Reach Agreement These varying opinions may yet be brought together, for there's a belter among Borne engineers that one wave spectrum could be used ' for relay transmission such as would be re quired for chain television, while the shorter waves could serve the immed iate vicinity of the network trans mitter. The higher waves have the backing of the engineers who have devoted most of their, time to the investiga tion of mechanical scanning, while the group working on cathode fays has been more-active In probing1 the new territory below ten meters. The cathode ray workers have been dealing with high-line television, 130 lines or more. This system requires fairly wide transmission channels, 600 1 kilocycles at the least Mechanical scanning has stuck to 60 lines, with allotted channels 100 kilocycles wide, about the maximum that can be used luccessfully above 100 meters. WUle Channels Permissible The main reason why- the ultra waves have been Investigated lies In the fact that in this territory wide' channels are -permissible because fro-'! quency there In relation . to wave length is so great. .For example from 5 to 7 meters there are 32 500-kilo- cycle channels,- compared .with a fast; decreasing number as the wavelength Increases numerically. . . . Another point in favor .of the tiny - waves is ,that, because of the limited j area' covered, stations on1 the same! wave can , be duplicated, within a' hundred miles -or so without causing interference. Above 100 meters Inter-' ference might result, if-, transmitters 1 were located a thousand miles or. moro apart. Miss Anne Stange, La Grande, beat Mrs. A. A.'

Later Kremer who Is supporting the special rule calling for abandon ment of the two-thirds requirement if six ballots fall to nominate, re turned to the committee room where the minority members were assembled and announced a special meeting of the committee would be held on the convention floor later. "This new meeting will be held." explained Kremer, "with a view to getting a' report acceptable to the minority." Leaders of the 'minority, headed by Daniel P. Cohalen, of New York, hail ed the move as a "complete surren der." The antl-Rooseveltlans had agreed earlier to take to the convention floor a report calling for adoption of a resolution frowning upon use of the rule at future conventions, , CHICAGO, June 38 W Anti-Roosevelt members of the rules commit tee decided at a conference today to present to the convention a minority report recommending retention of the two-thirds rule for the present con vention, but consideration or a change In that rule by the party for future conventions, r ALBANY, June 28 () Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt said today he had had no part whatever In the adoption by ihe rules committee of the Democratic national convention in Chicago lost night of a resolu tion that would do away with the two-thirds nomination rule after the sixth ballot. The governor said he had not yet received word from Chicago of the committee's decision. - . "I've only read about It In the newspapers," he said as he arrived at his office In the capltol shortly af ter 11 o'clock. "I haven't talked to Chicago yet I Imagine they're still sleeping." "I had absolutely ho hand in the formulation of that rule," he added. "I thought Jim Farley gave out a statement on that in Chicago last night. The last I heard from Jim he was going to." No direct reference was made at this morning's press conference to the telegram Roosevelt sent Farley yester day directing that the fight against the two-thirds rule be dropped. In the telegram he sent to Farley was the sentence: "I trust, however, that the commit tee on rules may recommend some rule to insure against the catastrophe of a deadlock or prolonged ballot ing." Governor Roosevelt planned to spend the day in his office attending to state matters. Beside his desk Is a radio set, over which yesterday he listened to Senator Alben W. Bark ley's keynote speech as he dictated the telegram for Fnrley.

ROOSEVELT WINS FIRST VOTE TESTS (Continued Prom Page One) along toward the election of the Roosevelt -backed Senator Walsh of Montana, as permanent convention chairman. Louisiana victory Cheered As cheers, boos, and torrents of debate roared across the convention floor, and Roosevelt scouts scurried everywhere, the Louisiana contest was pressed to victory with almost the solid support of the New York's convention majority, plus a few who broke over from the opposition ranks of the favorite sons. With whatevor effect it may have eventually on his bid for the presi dential nomination, tho run of the tide appeared rather Impressive too. toward the selection of Senator Walsh over Jouett Shouse of Kansas, the choice of the opposition. Tho roll call on the Louisiana con test developed several angry agru ments, particularly In the delegations from Iowa and the District of Colum bia. When Pennsylvania finally tip ped the balancing scales with the needed votes, Senator Long jumped to his feet on his chair and waved, the Lout h1 ana Btate standard high at tho center of a near-riotous cele bration. , Long Shouts "This Is a Roosevelt test," said Long, "this means Walsh's election and Roosevelt's nomination. Roose velt will get at least 60 more than we did." Immediately behind the Louie lan a contest come one from Minnesota and then tho battle over the chairman ship. j Iowa cast a split vote and a dele I gate shouted "what about the unit rule?" The delegates then became en gaged in a squabble over whether they wero required to vote under the unit rule and the vote was passed until they could attempt to reach an agreement. Tho Iowa delegates got so warmed up that guards rushed to their sector, as delegates began waving arms, shak ing fists and yelling to each other. To a question the chairman an nounced the Xowa vote Had not been recorded. "And How" j "And how," he yelled to the laugh ter of the crowd. The Iowa chairman then announced they stood 13 aye and 12 nay but that under the unit rule they had to vote 25 aye. When the Iowa disturbance started Long's delegates were within 17 votes of a majority of the voted. CHICAQO STADIUM, June 28 W) Bewildered by a night of somer saulting developments, and wholly uncertain what might happen next, the Democrats reassembled here to day to loiter through a couple of credentials contests while their real Issues waited outside the wlngB. Louisiana's turbulent factions, and a Roosevelt -Smith contest from Min nesota claimed the floor with appeals to the party's highest court the convention Itself. The Important question of the selection of a permanent chairman was to come up later. The candi dates were Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, backed by - the sup porters of RposeveLt, alvL Jouett Bhouse of Kansas, choice of the op position. It appeared likely the much-herald ed battel over two-thirds nominating rule would not be staged after all Just before the noon convening hour th'j Roosevelt camp, after modifying its previous demand for abrogation of the rule, withdrew It entirely. There was much talk of a compro mise candidate as the delegates, weary from conferences lasting most of the night, assembled slowly In the convention hall. Ritchie of Mary land, was mentioned and the name of Newton D. Baker was heard In many delegations. The convention wtiB even slower than at yesterday's opening session In getting itself together. The hour of noon saw only a fraction of the delegations In their places, and the galleries almost empty. Not a single convention official had appeared on the platform, The organ kept its concert of pop ular melodies going Incessantly, but that was about all that was stirring In the big hall. The Roosevelt men were working like beavers to rally their forces, and reports from some of the Southern caucuses indicated progress. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, reported to Rnskob that MlsslBBlppt would go down the line for Senator Walsh, the Roosevelt candidate. The Alabama delegation said they would do the same. One of the first celebrities to arrive was Senator Huey Long, whose Loui siana delegation had won a rough and tumble battle In the credentials com mittee, but still faced a challenge on the floor. .A hypothetical question which. took 57- minutes to propound waa asked a witness In a valuation proceedings In a superior court In San Francisco.
