T~^RED E. MEINHOLTZ of the New York Tbnes
-t- sat in his home on Long Island, listening-in on
a radio press dispatch from the Byrd expedition.
Someone on the Times staff wanted to reach
Meinholtz on his home phone. And quickly! But
the receiver there happened to be off the hook.
Radio science was equal to the occasion. The Times
radio operator sent a request to the fur-clad oper
ator at the other end of the world. And Meinholtz
was quickly made aware of the situation by a radio
message from Antarctica saying: "Meinholtz, the
Times wants you to hang up your receiver so that
they can call you on the telephone.”
Radio and research are among the many lines of work in which
college-trained men are engaged at General Electric, where
they also receive further technical and business training.
