"I can tell yon frankly that af ter -this period wo don't know much about radio, except that- It is growing. Tot may expect tele vision seme day as an addition to the present development; when I cannot tell toil" - Barnett aald adrertisera had found that radio supplemented their other promotion and In some- Instances prored very ef- fectire. He sketched the develop ment of nation-wide hookups where as many as 4? large sta tions participated In one release. Short ware lengths present possibilities in broadcasting as yet little dereloped, said Barnett. He added that the difficulty was tne closeness i of the different wares to, one 'another with "bllndlngr more likely to occur. . BOMB JS BURNED STAYTON. March 12 Tha E. E.
