Byrd, Sr., a lawyer in Aus- tin, Texas. After graduating from Annapolis, Byrd's first prominent ap-. pointment was his being placed inr charge of the navigation preparation for the Trans-Atlantic flight of the NC flying boats, of which the NC-4 was> the craft to cross the Atlantic in the air. Byrd is the inventor of two in- struments which made his flight pos- sible. These two inventions are th draft indicator and the bubble sex- tant. He also used the invention of, Albert Bumstead, of the Nationa. Geographic society, the sun compass. Byrd had only one summer of Arctic experience before he conquered theI North Pole in 15 hours and 51 minutes. His first trip was with MacMillan'. Arctic expedition of 1925 in which Byrd flew 6,000 miles in exploring and mapping out new territory with Floyd Bennet, who was Byrd's pilot on the Pole trip. Is Great As Scientist Two men crossed the Atlantic ahead of Commander Byrd, but he, made his flight under such adverse weather conditions that he was accorded world-wide acclamation. As a result of his achievements, Byrd is recog- nized as one of the great explorer- scientists.

First sign of life since PRESIDENT ASKS RADIO ASSEMBLY FOR COOPERATION (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Counseling a "policy of candid discussion, gener- ous conciliation and wide co-oper- ation," so that radio may contribute "beneficient public service," Presi- dent Coolidge today inaugurated the International Radio Telegraphic con- ference. He addressed the more than 400 delegates and experts from 70 coun- tries and 41 communication compan- ies, who unanimously acclaimed Sec- retary Hoover, chairman of the Amer- ican delegation, president of the con- ference. Mr. Hoover was nominated by G. 1. Hofker, delegate from the Netherlands. "In many fields our country claims the right to be the master of its own development," President Coolidge told the conference. "It cordially concedes the same riglit to all others. But in the radio field the most complete de- velopment lies in mutual concessions and co-operation. "Like every invention which in- creases the power of man it (radio) may be used for good or evil. It can serve the cause of understanding and friendship among nations, or it can be used to create ill will and dissen- sion. The world will not be benefited by this increase in the scope of its power unless there is corresponding increase in moral development." Secretary Hoover reminded the con- ference of the deficiency of existing international radio regulation by which the world, he said, was threat- encued with chaos ofdunco-ordinated 'traffic."
