A mid century reminiscence tracing the rise of radio from De Forest’s 1907 tube to clearer transmission and new devices. It notes Hertz and Marconi ideas on reflection, aviation altimeters, and early air warfare sensors as planes outpaced sound. Tomorrow: Radio Turns Detective.
Hollywood dispatch reports former transatlantic liner to be remodeled as flagship of a new Pacific coast gambling fleet led by Admiral Tony Cornero. The operation seeks to resume gambling cruises outside three miles, after a 1939 California Supreme Court ruling ended the prior fleet. Cornero aims for a 90 day readiness, Panamanian registry, and $5,000 unit concessions for 100 units amid lavish onboard gambling rooms and entertainment.
The incident saw Cornero aboard a vessel with most players abandoning ship. He had the ship towed to sea and repelled officers with fire hoses before surrendering later following his attorney's advice.
The annual report shows sales totaling $654,778,682, up $33,800,000 or 5.4 percent from the prior year. The statement notes that the dollar volume of sales exceeded all previous records.
