THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, W22 3 J 1 FLIGHT TO GOTHAM 30 HOURS I Airmen Start Tomorrow on Trans-continental Trip. LIBERTY MOTOR TEST ON Army (o Try Out Engine Made by American Machinists for Use in War. SAN DIEGO. Cal., Oct. 3. Con fidence that their powerful liberty motor will not fail them in their proposed non-stop flight from San Diego to New York, starting at day break Thursday, was expressed to day by Lieutenants Oakley Kelly and John Macready,, army aviators. The big monoplane has been tuned up especially for the flight, and unless word is received of a heavy storm in the path or the aviators they will try to leave at the time set. Both aviators today made state ments to the Associated Press. Lieutenant Kelly said: "We have every reason to believe from our experience with the lib erty motor that the motor will function properly throughout the entire flight, we are using a 400 horsepower liberty engine, which has been thoroughly overhauled and prepared especially for this flight by the engineering depart ment of the army aeronautical ex perimental station at McCook field, Dayton, O." Test ' lights Promising. "'Particular care has been taken in the bearings to prevent oil leaks. In the test flights at Rockwell field we have encountered no , trouble and we have every reason to believe that the flight will be a success. Should we land safely at New York it will have demonstrated that the liberty motor, a product of American ingenuity, has been placed at the top of the list of the world's aeronautical motors, where this motor unquestionably properly belongs. "We expect to make the trip within 30 hours. Our first hard task is to leave the field. After this comes the problem of safely 1 traversing the v mountains. The weather bureau at Washington is co-operating with us and thus far has predicted favorable flight con ditions. We expect to land in New York early Friday afternoon. Longer Trips Expected. "There is no question In my mind that this flight across the continent without a stop is but the fore-1 runner of flights of extremely long distances. When one considers that but 14 years ago the longest non stop flight was but five-eighths of a mile, one can visualize .the marvel ous progress made in aviation de velopment in that comparatively short period. It graphically illus trates the fact that the money ex pended on aeronautical experimental work has not been wasted, some thing of which the American people should be proud. Lieutenant John Macready said: "Kelly and myself are both op timists. I firmly believe the flight will be a success. "One of the most serious things we hav to contend with is taking off with a heavy load, then flying with this great weight over a rough barren, ragged country. The high elevations of New Mexico and the flying at night across the Ozark mountains west of St. Louis also offer a difficult problem. With this must be coupled the fatigue of spending a great number of hours in the air without rest and the anxiety over the motor and of en countering severe storms. If we have a 60-50 break we will be able to say on landing in New York: 'We had breakfast yesterday in San Diego.' Nobody has said this yet, but Kelly and I hope to. Army Behind Aviators. "This flight was inaugurated by the United States army air service. The work on the plane and motor was done by the engineering di vision at McCoo.c field. The flight is being made primarily to show ine improvements made in the lib erty motor during the last few years, to demonstrate the feasibility of a non-stop flight from San Diego 10 .ew iork: to determine th ren eral all-around efficiency of both motor and monoplane, and finally lo oring out tne endurance of the Pilots. We hope and firmlv be lieve the flight will be a complete success." present equipment is installed, J while the reception room win oe one floor 'lower. The set supplies 500 watts of high-frequency power to the an tenna, and consists of four 250 watt vacuum tubes, two used aa oscillators and two used as modu lators. To convert music and speech to electrical current a specially de signed high-quality microphone a marvel of ingenuity catches the sound and feeds it to a three-stage speech amplifier, which increases the voice energy approximately 4.000,000 times. From the speech amplifier the voice currents are fed to the radio transmitter, and there placed on the carrier waves by the modulators, and broadcasted from the antenna. To supply the voltage as used by the radio transmitter a three-unit motor generator set is used. One generator supplies the 15 volts used to light the filaments of the vacuum tubes, and another furnishes 1600 volts for use in the plate circuit. The studio- itself will be specially designed to eliminate all echoes and voice reverberations, while the sen sitive microphone transmitter picks up even the faintest sounds. In order to make certain that the set will be installed and operated in the best possible manner, that listeners may be furnished with the most perfect telephone broadcasting service obtainable at the present time, Mr. Evans was sent to Port land by the Western Electric com pany to make the preliminary sur vey, upon which he is now engaged. While the 50Q-watt set will be far more powerful than any now oper ating in the Pacific northwest, its excellence does not consist in power alone. The sets now in use are as sembled of manufactured parts. The Oregonian set is built as a unit with every part perfectly adapted to every other part. The result is per fect reproduction. It is guaranteed by the makers that there will be no distortion and no rasping and grat ing, provided the receiving set is properly tuned in. The improve ments are of sufficient importance to mark a new era in broadcasting. It is hoped to have The Orego nian's new station in operation early in November. AUTO'S DIVE IS FATAL LiEONAKD JEWELL, 28, DIES IX ACCIDENT. Machine With 3 Men Plunges Off Willamette Boulevard and . Down 4 0 Feet. SOLOS TP BE FEATURED THE OREGONIAN CONCERTS TONIGHT ARE UNUSUAL. Excellent Artists to Participate in Extraordinary Programmes to Delight Radio Fans. Leonard D. Jewell, 28. of 903 East Everett street, was killed, and his two companions were injured at 2 A. M. yesterday when their automo bile ran off Willamette boulevard, near Columbia university, and plunged 40 feet down an embank ment, where it stopped upside down on a ledge. The injured were Fred Zastrow, 21, 410 East , Fifty-eighth street North, driver of the auto, who was pinned under the car, suffering a compound fracture of the right arm, and his brother, Arthur Zastrow. 24, who was cut and bruised. Fred Zastrow was taken to St. Vincent's hospital. the rain, which made it impos sible to see the .sharp turn in the boulevard, was blamed for the wreck. The automobile stoppeo after plunging 40 feet of the 200 foot drop to Mock's bottom and hit. nose down, wheels spinning in the air, on a projecting ledge. The three men were employes of the Western Cooperage company and were driving home from work, Jewell having been invited to ride with the two Zastrows who lived in his neighborhood. Jewell, who served 11 months In France in company A, 37th engi neers, is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard L. Jewell, 903 East Everett street, and by Clifford and Robert Jewell, brothers. He was a member of the American Legion, the Woodmen of the World and the Masons. No inquest . will be held. The coroner pronounced the accident un avoidable. According to Arthur Zastrow's story, his brother was not driving more than 15 miles an hour when the car- left the road. . POWERFUL SET BOUGHT tContlnufrt From First Page, ) ber and ordinary telephone receiver will attain perfect service. Hood River, the beaches and scores of receiving stations within a 100-mile radius, and farther that have been known as "dead spots" and have received intermittent and unsatis factory service from sets now in local operation will be enabled to receive continuous broadcasting service. The company guarantees that the difficulties experienced by certain localities will be overcome and that all radio enthusiasts within 100 miles, whose sets are equipped with simple tube receivers, will hear clearly, day or night, the pro grammes from the broadcasting sta tion in The Oregonian tower. Own ers of the simplest of crystal sets should be able to receive the pro grammes at any point within a ralius of at least 25 miles'. Another marked advantage of the new station is that it will operate under the special federal license of class IS. on 400 meters, whereas all local sets no,w broadcasting are op erated on 360 meters. This will af ford TJie Oregonian station the privilege of utilizing any hour, and will enable any receiver to tune in at any time, as the broadcasting at 400 meters will not interfere, with existing sets. In the new 500-watt set of this type, of which there are but 20 In America, all previous difficulties of using telephone lines for the exten sion of service have been eliminated by thorough research and correc tion, inasmuch as -the constructing company builds both the radio set and the telephone instruments. The Oregonian has accordingly arranged witn tne t-acuic Telephone and Telegraph company for the privi lege to lease wires as needed for extensions into theaters, churches .and public buildings, making pos sible -the receiving and relaying of outside programmes and addresses something that has never before been locally feasible. The operating room, with the radio transmitter, will occupy the very top of The Oregonian ' tower, above the clock. The studio , will be on the floor beneath, where the Two concerts in which every one of the artists to participate ranks high in local musical circles, in his or her special kind of music, will be broadcast from The Oregonian tower tonight between 8 and 10 o'clock, in conjunction with the Shipowners' Radio service. The programmes in clude soprano, baritone, violin, pi ano and flute solos. The first concert has been ar ranged by Miss Eda and Miss Mar- jorie Trotter, pianist and violinist, and they will be assisted by Mark Daniels, one of Portland's finest baritones. The Misses Trotter are both teachers of their respective arts and among the finest that Port land affords. Mr. Daniels -has al ready participated in several radio programmes broadcast from The Oregonian tower and his voice is always welcomed by the radio audi ence. The concert, however, will be the debut of the Misses Trotter and their names make splendid additions to the long list of radio favorites. Among the violin solos which Miss Marjorie Trotter will play are "Sla vonic Cradle Song" (Nerudal), "The Humming Bird" (Drdla) and "Little Song (d'Ambrosio). As piano solos Miss Eda- Trotter -will play Liszt's "Polonaise" and "Cantique d'Amour" and "Vicchio Minuetto" (Sgambati). Those who will participate in the second concert, from 9 to 10 o'clock, are Miss Inez Chambers, violinist; Miss Margaret Laughton, flutist, and Jeanette Boyer Xanten, soprano, and of especial note in this concert will be the soprano solos with flute obligato. It will be the first performance In The Oregonian radio tower of Miss Chambers, although she is a radio player of almost national fame, hav ing played in large broadcasting stations In Indianapolis and Chicago and several other eastern cities. Miss Chambers recently returned to Portland from a concert tour that extended clear to the Atlantic coast and she is one of the best violinists of the Pacific northwest. She will be assisted at the piano by Mrs. Al- blna E. Knowlton. Miss Xanten is an advanced pupil of Paul Petri and is possessed of a beautifully and perfectly cultivated voice. The concert will also be her debut to The Oregonian tower. She will be accompanied by her teacher,. Paul Petri. Miss Laughton is one of the most popular of radio favorites and the best-known flute player in Portland. This will be her fifth radio concert and at every one she his received torrents of applause. Flute music is splendidly adapted to radio broad casting and carries perfectly over the air. Miss Laughton will play some solos besides the obligatos to Miss Xantena solos. .

Having: defined its attitude on foreign affairs, the convention to night prepared to tackle an issue, which, according to leaders, prom ises to dominate the remaining ses sions. This is the Question of "branch banks," forcibly brought into the convention by bodies of "independents" representing four mid-western state bankers' organi zations who have brought to a head their opposition to the further in crease of such institutions on the ground that they tend to centralize capital and economic power. Andrew J.

The "pro element was headed by Waldo Newcomer, an eastern banker. Schedule In I'pnet.
