H. Aylesworth of National Broadcasting Co., all in Manhattan. The conversation was broadcast. After Senator Marconi had expressed confidence in trans-Atlantic telephone television, international broadcasting and had commented on the new radio station abuilding at Vatican city (TIME, April 21), said Dona Maria Cristina Bezzi-Scala Marconi to President Sarnoff: "Have you heard the news?"

Sarnoff: "I have. Is it a girl or a boy?"

Mrs. Marconi (laughing) : "I don't know yet."

Sarnoff: "Well, I hope it's whatever you want it to be."
