Young Plan

The day when newscolumns of the London Times or any other newspaper will be "flashed with a zip" into the U. S. or any other part of the world, is a day for which Owen D. Young, internationally-minded Board Chairman of General Electric Co., is waiting hopefully. He has been talking about the possibility ever since 1923. Last week came some fulfillment. Mr. Young's oldest son, Charles, works in the General Electric Research Laboratories at Schenectady under famed Dr. Ernst Frederik Werner Alexanderson. He has invented a new type automatic carbon recorder for use in conjunction with Dr. Alexanderson's radio television inventions. Last week Charles Young & colleagues stood by at Schenectady and watched a facsimile front page of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin appear before their eyes, blurred but fairly legible, not precisely "with a zip" but within three hours of coming off the press at the other edge of the continent.
