"In France, the Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs is extremely interested in having their country match the television developments in England and Germany and are doing everything in their power to speed up this work realizing that they are behind those two countries in this respect. They have started experi¬ mental 60 line 25 frame transmissions on 175 meters but no regular schedule is maintained. The French hope to be able to go to 90 lines and then to 180 lines as quickly as practicable but I seriously doubt if much progress in this direction will be made before 1936. "

TALK REVIVED OF JUDGE SYKES GOING ON BENCH
The death of Associate Justice William Hitz of the District Court of Appeals, has revived the talk of the possibil¬ ity of Judge E. 0. Sykes, of the Federal Communications Commission, being appointed to that position. It is known that Judge Sykes would welcome a judicial position and if President Roosevelt were inclined to appoint him the District Court would seem to be the logical position. All radio cases are appealed to this Court and Judge Sykes being the only surviving member of the original Radio Commission and having passed on all radio cases during that time, would appear to be well qualified for the work.
If Judge Sykes were appointed to succeed Judge Hitz, President Roosevelt, after objections raised by Senator Wheeler, of Montana, because there are no Western men on the FCC, would unquestionably consider appointing someone from the West.
