NEW RADIONICS MAGAZINE SCHEDULED FOR JULY 1
A new magazine ’'Radionics’1 combined with "Radio News" will make its first appearance July 1. It is announced as having a "Practical, farsighed, progressive, editorial policy covering current progress in Radionics, trends, new applications of the art, and news . . . written by outstanding authorities ... a minimum of thirty-two information-packed pages. The editorial purpose of Radionics is to further interest in the Industry and to aid in its development as an important factor in industry and commerce. "
Commander E. F. McDonald, Jr., who has done more than anyone else to popularize the word "radionics" reports:
"I took a vote of the colleges of the country and the results were as follows:
Instructors favoring radionics 134
Instructors favoring electronics 61
Neutral 14
"I also took a vote of the managing editors of the daily press and the results were as follows:
Editors favoring radionics 56
Editors preferring electronics 6
Neutral 6 "
Thus the battle of "radionics versus electronics" goes merrily along.

PORTABLE RADIO BATTERY TRANSFER STILL OUT
More flexible control over production of dry cell batter¬ ies and portable electric lights operated by dry cell batteries is contemplated by the War Production Board in issuing General Limita¬ tion Order No. L-?l as amended. The newly-amended order will eliminate base period quotas to place production on a scheduled basis.
While the revised order now permits production of multiple batteries using small cells, manufacturers still are prohibited from transferring such batteries for use in the ordinary type of portable radios. These small batteries may be sold for use in government snort wave radios, in scientific and therapeutic instruments, etc. The clause on this reads that no manufacturer shall transfer
(1) Any new portable electric lights except pursuant to orders bearing preference ratings of A9 or higher;
(2) Any dry cell batteries for ultimate use in any radio set designed primarily for the reception of broadcasts on standard radio wave lengths (550 to 1500 k.c.),
