The use of radio as means of expediting communication has also been found to be practical at "hump" yards, where cars are classified and made up into trains. A study of communication by means of radio between shore stations and tug boats or other harbor craft used in railway service in New York harbor is also being made, but so far no final report has been submitted to the Telegraph and Telephone Section. X X X X X X MANSON FOR I.R.E. PRESIDENT The Board of Directors of the Institute of Radio Engineers has nominated candidates to hold offices of the institute in 1931 as follows: R. H. Manson, Chief Engineer, Stromberg-Carlson Tele— phone Manufacturing Company, for President; C. P. Edwards, Director of Radio in Canada, Vice-President; L. M. Hull and A. F. Van Dyck have been nominated for Managers, 1931-33. Provision is made in the constitution of the Institute that further nominations can be made by a petition signed by thirty-five members of the organization prior to Oct. 15th. X X X X X X PROCRAM SURVEY ABANDONED Because of the vast amount of work involved and the limited number of Radio Supervisors, the Radio Division of the Department of Commerce has abandoned the plan to conduct a survey of the programs and service of all broadcasting stations. The action was taken following a conference between W. D, Terrell, Chief of the Division, and Maj. Gen. Charles McK. Saltzman, Chairman of the Federal Radio Commission, which ordered the survey. A test study was made of one of the Washington stations, Mr. Terrell said, and it was soon decided that the task, if it were to be done adequately, was too big for the Radio Supervisors to accomplish along with their usual duties of checking the technical operation of sta¬ tions.
