Victims of the Heat Paramount's home office and exchange and the United Artists home office and exchange were among the industry shops that closed yesterday afternoon because of the terrific heat. Times Square thermometers recorded 104 in the sun, and in Central Park, where the sun has more elbow room, a high mark of 135 degrees was reported. In one Times Square brokerage office a victim was carried out murmuring, "Don't sell till it hits 150!" Financial RCA OFFERS TO LICENSE HOME TALKERS, TELEVISION Patents covering home telelvjsion and talkers have been offered by RCA to its receiver licensees with development of the new apparatus expected within the next year. The patents, covering other broadcast receivers, such as super-regeneration, patents on television and on some talkers, are included in the offering, which, it is believed, will do much to bring peace and closer cooperation among allied interests and competitors in the radio industry.
