Landing from the Berengaria last week, Merlin H. Aylesworth, head of National Broadcasting Co., predicted that within six months U. S. citizens could readily listen in on British radio programs and that British citizens could readily pick up U. S. broadcasts. He predicted that radio Would become a great national force, might even lead to the establishment of an international language. British and French radio at present, however, he described as "formative." The British radio owner, for instance, has no loud speaker, no electric sets, and no choice of programs--a standard program being furnished by the government. Forward-looking Mr. Aylesworth, however, predicted an eighty million audience for his radio chain and visioned President Hoover and King George giving a joint radio address to English-speaking peoples next Thanksgiving.
