COMPROMISE SOUGHT ON TWO OF OUTSTANDING ISSUES French-ltalian Deadlock anc Methods of Limiting lleets to the Fore

“- ers woved toward compromise Monday on two of their most tron- blesome problems—the physical methods of limiting fleets and Ita- ly's demand for parity with France Great Britain made a new ges- ture of faith in the naval confer- ence’s success by announcing, that construction of her two newest cruisers has been cancelled, The British announcement coin- cided with a meeting of the “Big live’ in Downing street at which lurther progress was said to have been made toward a compromise on a tounage plan designed tu settle the perennial argument on this technical phase of naval limitation. At the same time, it was disclos- ed that serious consideration was being given by several delegations lo @ proposal that the Italian par- ity problem be met by a treaty de- claration in which all powers would join. This would state that the so- vereigu right of every nation te build an adequate fleet was fully recognized but that the signatorics voluntarily agree not td exceed a certain construction pregram be- tween now and 1956. Week Starts Happily The twin attack on two of the weet diffienlt of the conference problems, coinciding with the Bri- tish croiser cancellation aunounce- ment, started the second week of the conference in an atmosphere of swing confidence, It was empha- sized on all sides, however, that nei- ther of the compromise formula. has yet been aceepted and that much remained to be done even if these two obetacies should be over- tome, The tonnage measurement plan. discussed for more than two hours at the Downing street session, had been upder study even before the conference began, but the proposal to straighten out the PFranco-Italiau question apparently developed over- wight, This latter idea bas not yet been acceptable to Mussolini's gov ernment although first renetions ap- peared hopetual. Italian-Trench Compromise As it steed in tentative form, the suggestion was that the five chiet naval powers join in a declaration perbaps in the preamble of a limit. ation treaty, suying that the sover tign privilege of possessing a navy of any sive could not be abridged escept voluntariiy., This, in effect. would dv away with any fixed ra. tio understanding such as was late fjown in the Washington treaty Then, in the body of the treaty cach power wonld stipulate the eut- ~ide limits ov Hs building needs be. iween now and the conference of 1936 when the whole situation i expected to come under review again in conformity with the agree ment reached at Washington, Whether application of this gen eral formula te the Italian situatior would be supplemented by a secu itY pact covering the Mediterran ean, as bas been sugyested by trance, remains for future determi vation.

OPPOSES CIVIL SERVICE STATUS FOR ATTORNEYS Prosecutors Would Be Trans- ferred With Unit

pram gen —Aj— Atlorpey General Mitchell Monday urged the house expenditures committee to expedite action on legislation to transfer the probibition enferce- ment unit from the treasury to the justice department. . Mitchell said he was in accord with the recommendations of Se- cretary Melon before the commilt- tee favoring the transfer and en- dorsed the Williamsen bill to effect this change. To Transfer Prosecutors Also Attorneys ip the treasury depart- ment connected with the prohibi- tion unit would be transferred to the justice department along with the agents in order to carry on pro- seentions, Mitchell said. He opposed putting prebibition unit atiorneys under the civil ser- vice, and said they would be ab- serbed in the office of the justice department on an equal basis with these already in service, Many things under the bill, the attorney general said, would have to be worked out as administrative problems. Representative Schafer, republi- can, Wisconsin, asked “why not put ull United States attorneys under the civil service?” Mitchell replied that the question Was not pertinent to the matter ua- der discussion but added his depart- ment felt attorneys used for the special work should not be placed uuder civil service, Sebafer, a wet, remlrked that Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former assistant attorney general, had written that one reasyn for failure of the enforcement of the dry law was the “spoils system” used in appointing district attor- ueys. Representative Cochran. demo- erat, Missouri, asked Mitchell te xive him assurance that dry agents would wot use federal court sub- peenss on large industrial concerns to obtain tnfornumtion. He charged that dry agents bad summoned of- ficials of the Awerican Can com. puny and the Corn A’roeducts com. pany trom St. Louis tu Sprinefield, il., with federal court subpoenas, Can Probe Industrial Athy Mitchell answered that he did juet believe in considering questions of that kind during the formulation of legislation of the character be- fore the committee, He explained he did net plan to make promises Jot what be was guing to do, but ad. ded: “We de the best we can un. der the law.” In answer tuo questions by Scha. fer, the attorney general said he be. lieved the proposed bill would give the justice department adequate authority to investigate the diver. sion of industrial alcohol unde treasury department permits for iegal purposes, The measure provides for the su pervision of industrial aleohol and narcotics to remain under the treas ury.

City of Dreadful Night Is Turkey’s Village of Blind; 6,791 Afflicted FIELSON’S WRECKED PLANE FOUND IN ARCTIC ZONE

DIYAMAN, Turkey —()-— Now that communications have been opened partially in Turkey's long- isolated turbulent eastern prov- inces, travelers are bringing to the world news of the existence of a hidden and dreadful village: Adiya- man, the village of the blind. In the dusty, sandy district of Misnimansour, not far from the city of Malatia, lies this village of whose 7,000 inhabitants 6.791 are wholly or “partially sightless through the ravages of trachoma. Jt is a village without gound ex- cept for the tap, tap of hfhdreds of canes on cobbled roads as the pop- ulation gropes its way through a ghosily life from blind childhood to blind old.age and death. Through Adiyaman's squalid dung-thatched huts and dust-polluted alleys, hu- man beings craw! like animals with- out eves. No School or Hospital Utterly disregarded by the old re- gime of the sultans, the village has for centuries been without a school for hospital. Without solace or help ite peasant population, stricken gen- eration after generation by tracho- ma, has made its living painfully and half blindly through farming and herding. Fives times a day. year after year, this derelict population has filled the village mosque to pray to Allab. Their prayers have not mentioned the affliction, for accord- ing to the Moslem faith, complaints arouse the wrath of destiny. The prayers of even the most wretched followers of Islam thank Allah for what they have, lest worse befall. No Lights at Night The village is utterly unlighted at night for there are cnly a hand- ful of villagers who could see by any light. Kipling’s City of Dread- ful Night becomes a reality in this Anatolian town where night and day are of the same dire biackness. Adiyaman is probably the only place in Anatolia where Moslem wo- men wear no veils. For the women of Adiyaman, religious as they are, no veils are necessary beyond the veil of universal blindness which hides a woman even from her fath- er and husband and child in this sightless village. Government Fights Plague The government of Mustapha Ke- mal is struggling to combat the tra- choma peril here and in all the sur- rounding district. Doctors have been dispatched to the province and clinics opened. Already, within a brief period, the government has spent $75,000 on the treatment of 155.144 trachoma cases, including the entire population of blind Adi. vaman and the afflicted in forty- eight other villages of the Misni- mansour district.

Prices Expected to Hold to Same General Level SEES IMPROVEMENT IN MARKET CREDIT CONDITIONS IN 1930

ASHINGTON—(?)—The Ameri- can farmer is advised by the department of agriculture that he may expect more favorable market- ing credit conditions this year and a somewhat greater supply of labor at slightly lower wages, but is warned against imminent over-pro- duction in several lines. The department’s annual farm outlook report, issued for publica- tion Monday, forecast a lessened demand for farm products through the summer and fall, as compared with the same seasons of 1929, al- though an imrewoved domestic mar- ket was predicted for the closing weeks of the vear. Detter Financing The forecast for 1950 listed more favorable farm mortgage mre conditions, no immediate change | the price of fertilizers and an un-' changed price level for farm ma- chinery. — Wheat prices were forecast as much the same as those prevailing throughout 1929 unless winter damage should prove severe or the spring acreage is reduced. | Dairymen were advised to cull jtheir herds closely and send more heifers to slaughter in order to avoid a continued increase in dairy herds in 1931 and 1932. The gen- eral situation in the dairying indus- try was said to be “not as bad as jwould appear from present butter | pric es.” Ilog prices were expected to average at least as high as in 1929 and possibly higher, while reduction of slaughter supplies was indicat- ed, this probably partially offset by a decreased demand for hog prod- ucts, 5 é Hits “Blind Production” WASHINGTON.—(#)— Secretary | Hyde told the farmers of the nation Monday that “blind production” was the bane of agriculture. Speaking over tbe National Broadcasting company network, the secretary closed the broadcasting of the report on the 1930 agricul- tural outlook with the warning tbat sovernmental farm relief measures will be useless “unless each in- ‘dividual farmer intelligently plans |} his production.” Hyde said he wanted to em- phasize that i&% order to obtain a higher level of prices than prevails ‘|now it appeared necessary to re- duce rather than to increase 1930 production and that the problem rust be met on the farm. Pians Institutes “If we are to ma agriculture .| Profitable we must not only produce tat lowest possible cost but must also keep our production reasonably close to prospective domestic de- mand,” he said. “Blind production for an unknown demand is now the bane of agriculture. Competitive selling by 6,000,000 individual farmers usually gives the purchaser a great advantage. The challenge tot the new decade is to act collec- ‘itively to overcome this situation.” The secretary said that detailed ‘}imformation on the agricultural ‘|outlook will be brought to every jcommunity within the next month at thousands of farm meetings con- ducted by the extension service of the department. , \

State to Get Highway Aid From U.S

geo pet Wis. —(#)— Federal | highway aid for Wisconsin will be forthcoming for the calendar ‘year 1930 without the necessity of ‘a special legislative session to effect a change io the law governing con- trol of the highway appropriations, Governor Walter Kohler announced Monday. The governor's anhnouncement said funds which total almost two million will be avallable as a re- sult of negotiations betwecn the fed- eral bureau of public roads and the | Wisconsin highway commission. | Federal officials are of the opin- ‘jon the present Wisconsin law does not comply with the requirements that expenditure of federal aid mon- ey be administered by the state rath- er than by counties. Because of this. the matter will undoubtedly be one of the subjects for the 1931 legisla- |ture, the governer said. The present Wisconsin law places administration of highway funds with the counties. For some time rumors were current that a special session of the legislature would be necessary in order that federal aid might be obtained through an amendment of the law but they were dispelled by the governor’s an- nouncement.

Some of you saw the otber day that Senator Moses bad = ap- pointed Otte Kabn as treasurer for the election of vew senators.

STATE BAR TAKES STAND ON COUNTY COURT'S SCOPE Disapprove Legislation Giving | County Courts Civil Jurisdiction

That the Wisconsin Staite Bar issociation bas gone on recerd as , disapproving legislation i ziving county courts civil jurisdiction, was |the statement made by Judge R. 8. Cowie this morning. “I believe there should be a municipal court in La Crosse.’ continued the judge, “to take the place of the police court. This court should have juris- diction over all criminal matters, which are now being bandied in the county court. The county judge*bas more than be can handle and-if he attends to his probate cases, to- gether with juvenile court avd old age and widows’ pensions, Le has no time fer criminal work. The juvenile court is distinct from all criminal matters now, esnecially since the new state code becuime ef. fective. This could therefore not be classed as criminal matier. “The circuit court bas pleuty of time to be in session to hear civil cases at any time. Motion days are held here every two weeks or often- er if necessary, aud if the attorneys have their court cases ready they can be heard any time during the week, if desired. “This matter came up before the La Crosse Bar association once be- fore and the county board refused to consider it on account of the ex- pense. A reorganization of the courts in the county creating a mu- nicipal court, relieving the county court of all criminal and civii mat- ters, would take ture of the litiga- tion to the best advantaze. “The circuit court calendar bere is pretty well cleaned up. there be- ing no cases over six months oid and these can be tried whenever the uttorneys are ready to try them.”

HOLD BUT FAINT HOPE "THAT. FLYERS ARE SAFE Provisions in Plane Untouch- ed; Ship is Badly Dam- aged in Crash

De ee . OME, Alaska —(4)-— Mushers from North Cape, Siberia, Mon- day headed their dog teams toward the spot where the wrecked airplane of Carl Ben Eielson, noted Arctic flyer, and his companion, Earl Bor- land, was located Saturday, expect- ing to find the bodies of the two missing birdmen. Belief that EKielson and Borland were killed when their plane crash- ed and their bodies would be found jammed under 18 cases of gasoline in the cabin was expressed here af- ter a more detailed report of the finding of the wreck was received. Joe Crosson and Harold Gillman, Alaskan flyers, found the wreck- ed plane, climaxing a search which has lasted for more than two months and which recently became an in- ternational affair with the entry of Russian and Canadian aviators. Crosson and Gillman have been operating from the fur trading ves- sel Nanuk, frozen in the ice near North Cape. They took off again Sunday for the seene of the wreck, and dog teams from the Nanuk also went out. No word bad been receiv- ed from them Monday. Nearly Buried in Snow When Cros#n and Gillman sight- ed Ejelson’s ship, only a small part of one wing and a portion of the cabin protruded from the snow. Wreckage was found scattered in all directions. The engine was 100 feet from the cabin. Crosson opened a deor of the cabin and a slab of ba- con fell out. Messages deseribing the discovery of the wreck indicated that Crosson jand Gillman did not inspect it closely at once, believing Eielson aud Borland had been killed by the impact and that their bodies would be found buried in the snow and ice. Later messages gave rise to the he- jlief Eielson and Borland died in the Jeabin of their sbip and that the |gasoline cases concealed their bod- ies. | QEATTLE.—(/)—Halt ihe mys- tery of the disappearance Nov. 8 of Carl Ben Eielson and Earl Bor- ‘tland was solved Monday with dis- ‘icovery of their wrecked plane in an ‘licey lagoon 90 miles southeast of -+North Cape, Siberia, but absence of the bodies of the two American avi- ‘lators from the wreckage kept alive a j bare hope they may still be alive, The note of optimism was ex- tremely faint, however, as experi- leneed flyers said they believed the plane struck with such force as to ‘kill the aviators and throw them -|from the ship.

WRECKAGE DESTROYED BY AIRLINES COMPANY ME Coroner's Orders to Leavy: Debris Undisturbed are Ignored

ANSAS CITY, Kas.—()-—Burn- ed and mutilated bodies of four men and one woman lay Tuesday in Kansas City morgues, victims of a crash of a Central Airlines plane which dived, and exploded into a mass of seething flames Monday night within a mile of its destination, Fair airport. Cause of the accident probably will remain a secret of the dead. Almost as soon as the charred bod- ies of the four passengers and pilot were removed employes of Univer- eal Airlines, Inc., a subsidiary with Central Airlines of Aviation vorpor- ation, backed to pieces the still smoking frame of the plane and dragged its parts to widely separat- ed sections of a stubbled corn field. Baggage Is Burned Even the pathetic remnants of the passengers’ personal baggage, a magazine, a box of cough medicine, a woman's handkerchief — were destroyed by a tire built upon the spot where the single-wotored plane imbedded itself in soft black <arth, The dead are Dyke Laucdeman, Kansas City, Kas., pilot; C, R. Me- Kinnon, Chicago business man; James B. Eggert, Chicago, music publisher; Miss Margaret Dice, St. Joseph, Mo., and William Flynn, Kansas City, former city alderman and theatre owner. All are believed to have been killed by impact of the plane, the second section of the regular Cen- tral Airlines afternoon flight from Wichita, when it sideslipped and dived from an altitude of about 500 feet. The plane appeared over the air- port almost 30 minutes late. Air- port attendants said it circled the field with motor Apparently dron- ing normally. Then, south of the airport, already flattening for the landing, it faltered, dipped and plunged into a cornfield. An explo- sion marked the moment of im- pact and flames roared into the air. Employes of a nearby factory and airport attendants rushed to the wreck with fire extinguishers but were unable even to approach the plane because of the blistering heat. The passengers, blackened and seared almost beyond recognition, were pitched forward in a grim huddle against the motor, jammea through the splintered cabin. Aviators said they believed the most plausible explanation of the tragedy was failure of controls. Laudeman had been flying seven years and was known as an unusu- ally cautious pilot, Ordered Wreck Left Dr. L. 8S. Fisher, deputy coron- er, said an inquest would be held Tuesday. The deputy coroner said he gave orders that the debris was to be left untouched. However, workmen for the Universal Aviation corporation, directed by E. L. Slon- iger, branch manager here, ad- vanced on the wreck with hack- saws, axes and ropes immediateiy after departure of Dr. Fisher and within an hour only scattered parts ef the metal framework could be found. Sloniger reported the accident to Richard H. Lees, Jr., district in- spector for the aeronautical branch of the department of commerce, and said Lees gave permission to remove the wreckage to a hangur. Newspaper photographers were threatened and told they would get “badly hurt” if they attempted to take pictures of the debris. Despite the warnings, however, photographs were obtained, Sloniger said Paul Goldsborough ot Chicago, vice president ia charge of onerations of the line, would ar-

Close Open Hearings on Bill te Transfer Enforcement Unit SETS FORTH HIS VIEWS IN LETTER TO HOUSE COMMITTEE

ASHINGTON —4(#)— Habitual drinkers and those definitely opposed to prohibition on principle considered unsuitable by the Hoover administration for federal offices directly connected with the prosecution of violators of the dry statutes. In addition, the personal views and practices of applicants for ap- pointment or reappointment = as United States attorneys and mar- shals are being thoroughly investi- gated before appointments are re- commended to the president “ the justic department, Tells The Dein. This was revealed by Attorney General Mitchell in a letter sub- mitted to the house expenditures committee, which is considering the Williamson bill to consolidate the government's enforcement and pro- secuting agencies in the department of justice. The letter dealt only with attor- neys and marshals, although it is assumed that Mitchell will follow the same policy in selecting men for the enforcement unit when that agency is transferred to his juris- diction. “I have not made any hard and fast rule on the subject,” the at- torney general wrote, “and there ure many matters respecting a man’s ability and personal qualifi- cations that have to be considered, but I believe that no man who makes a practice of drinking intox- icating liquor, or who has definite or pronounced views in opposition to prohibition, belongs, during this administration, in any post having directly to do with the pro- secution of cases under the national prohibition act, Use of Liquor a Handicap “I have not made any bDlare of trumpets about this matter, but I am not at all reluctant to have it known among those in the service of this department that the habi- tual use of liquor and opposition to prohibition are very definite handi- caps to appointment or reappoint- ment in this service.” With the receipt of Mitchell's letter, the expenditures committee cencluded its open hearings on the transfer bill. Executive sessions were planned, beginning Tuesday, and it was expected that the mea- sure would be reported out by the end of the week,

HITS LEGISLATORS’ FAILURE TO VOTE SNOW REMOVAI Too Much Interested in Owr Salary Raise, Says Barron County Official

MADISON, —(#)— A condemna- tion of the last legislature because it failed to fulfill election promises to care for snow removal was made here Tuesday before the annual road school by Ed Gleason, Barron county highway commissioner. “The representatives from 50 counties, whose boards adopted resolutions favoring a gas tax in- crease for snow removal, could have gotten an increase if they had been as much interested in getting it as they were in getting their own salaries raised,” Gleason said. “I do not believe the people of Wisconsin are going to tolerate this condition much longer,” he continu- ed. “We have begged and coaxed asking the legislature for relief and it has availed us nothing. “I believe it is time for us to do something more effective than pass resolutions.”

SEES HARD JOB AHEAD AT LONDON

LANDON. Had iuncn today in their rooms with Mr. anc Mrs. Morrow and elder daugh- ter Elizabeth, and Mr, and Mrs. Stimson were there and he told me, “you go back home, Will, and announce that one of America’s muchly advertised talents has been over-estimat- ed. We are not the masters of bunk.”” He had just come from a five-hour siege with the jrhole mess of "em. Morrow is funny. He pulled a good one: “We are getting along fine, beautiful compliments, but no- body has mentioned the word navy- I look for that word to come up some day and when it does I just want to see what the conference will do.” Eng- land this morning ordered work stopped on two cruisers, the. Surrey and Northumberland. These are the same two Mac- donald ordered work stopped on last July when the papers were all full of it, and Mr. Hoover saw him two and raised him one by stopping work on three of ours. If Mr. Hoover sees this raise, I hope he does it with the same ships, too. They will keep on stopping work on these two till the first thing you know they will be late building "em. But all sink- ing aside, our boys seem very optimistic and feel that some- thing will be accomplished. They are all crazy about Joe Robinson. Mr. Hoover can feel proud of his lads but boy, there is some tough babies here. Talk about taking boats away from them! There is delega- tions here that wouldn't give up an oar to see eternal salvation, Yours, WHIrr, RPOoOcrRs.

BORAH T0 DEMAND SENATE PROBE OF DRY ENFORCEMENT Tilt With Lowman May Result in Investigation of Whole Service

WASHINGTON, —(#)— Senate investigation of the _ prohibition enforcement service was in prospect Tuesday as a result of the sharp disagreement between Assistant Secretary Lowman, of the treasury, and Senators Borah of Idaho and Wheeler of Montana, over. the qualifications of John F. C. Her- bert as dry administrator for Mon- tana and Idaho. Borah indicated that he would ask the senate judiciary committee to go into the enforcement problem as soon as the committee takes up the pending dry bills, as a result of Lowman’s defense of Herbert. “We ought to have the facts,” he said. “‘We have been told by an investigator of the department of justice about the record of Herbert as prohibition administrator for Maryland. We may have been mis- informed but we will have to find out.” It also became known Tuesday that Senator Borah has been told that the department of justice is watching his office, : “I am not interested in that,” laughed Borah, “but my secretary was informed by an investigator of the department that my office was being watched. There is nothing there of interest.” The prospective senate inquiry into prohibition enforcement, how- ever, must await the disposition of the pending tariff bill, Borah said.

JOHN COSTLEY “INVENTS” TRAP FOR RATS—DOESN’T CARE IF “WORLD” KNOWS IT

HE old adage, “If you build a bet- ter mouse trap than anyone else can build the world will beat a path to your door,”’ may apply to the dis- covery of John Costley, register in probate, 2131 State street, who uses a common quart milk bottle for a rat trap. Monday afternoon he received a telephone call from his home that a rad had been discovered on a shelf, occupied by milk bottles and other foodstuffs. The rat had made its escape through a hole into the base- ment. “You know when I was a boy I was quite a trapper,” said Mr. Costley, “studied the habits of ani- mals, what they lived en and what to use for bait. In view of the fact that it was after milk I decided to use milk for bait.” Taking a milk bottle into which he poured a few teaspoons of the fluid he placed it in the side of an ash pile in the basement. About two hours later he went into the base- ment to fix the fire for the night and there was the rat inside the bottle, struggling to get out. The milk was gone but the rat, even af- ter succeeding in turning around inside the bottle, was unable to work its way out. The smooth sur- face of the glass made it impossible to imbed its claws ang finally the animal became exhausted and quit trying. It was afterward placed in a tub of water and drowned. “I don’t know whether the world will beat a path to my door,” said Mr. Costley jokingly, “but from now on I will use milk bottles for rat traps and I don’t care if the world knows it.”’

MADRID DENIES RUMOR DE RIVERA HAS QUIT OFFICE

| Tp 2c Spanish government, through the office of the chief censor, late Tuesday denied reports, pub- lished abroad, that Premier Primo De Rivera had resigned, stating that the reports were without foundation. The premier presided as usual at Tuesday evening's cabinet meeting. Whether he will resign in the future con- tinues speculative, being de- pendent upon what attitude the army and navy take in ac- cordance with the premier’s expressed desire for a roll call on their approval or disap- proval of the dictatorship.

ENTHUSIASM BIG PART OF SUGGESS SPEAKER ASSERTS Rev. Joseph Stump Delivers Inspiring Address at Col- lece (‘am menramaoant

That enthusiasm in one’s field of work is essential to success in that work, was the message of the Rev. Joseph Stump, Jr., to the mid-year graduating class at the State Teachers college, Tuesday morning. “The will to do a thing is but a small factor in success,” the speaker said, declaring that those who attempt to do things through sheer will-power are rarely success- ful. “After all,” Rev. Stump said, “the heart-felt emotions are the driving forces of life which lead to success,” and he cited instances to show how the emotions of fear and patriotism, for example, have in- spired men to do prodigious feats. “The enthusiasm you have in your school-teaching,” the speaker told the graduates, ‘your ability to make your work a part of yourself, will make you a successful teacher. If you teach through will-power alone and only to earn your pay- check, you will never go far. But if you have enthusiasm, and are deep- ly stirred, you will really accom- plish things in life.” Those who received diplomas: primary course, Mary Coughlin; grammar grade course, Iola Harris, Pearl Hintgen and Helen Wolf; ru- ral course, Mrs. Mildred Meinking. Irene Erdlitz, graduate in the phy- sical education course, received the degree bachelor of educatien. Ar- thur Lyon, who also received tthe degree, has already taken a teach- ing position and was not present at the graduation exercises, A solo by Mildred Forseth, and selections by the college orchestra, under the direction of Thomas An- nett, were features of the program.

WILL ASK AT LEAST ONE CLEARED CHANNEL IN STAT Delegation Plans Statement te Be Laid Before Radio Board

BI RUD A. DUALA ASHINGTON—Wisconsin con- gressmen are perfecting plans this week to “lay claim to Wiscon- sin’s lawful share of broadcasting facilities.” A meeting of the congressional delegation will be held early in the week to determine the final form of a statement to be presented to the federal radio commission in the name of the state of Wiscensin, setting forth the way in which Wisconsin has been discriminatea against in allocating radio broad- casting facilities in the fourth zone. Representative James A. Frear of Hudson, chairman of the delega- tion, has said that he will call tne meeting at the first opportunity for the delegation to get together. Meanwhile, a tentative draft of the statement has been sent to the two senators and the eleven con- gressmen for their study and their suggestions so that prompt agree- ment on the final form of the plea can be reached. Demand One Clear Channel This tentative draft asserts firm- ly that Wisconsin should have at least one cleared channel and that it should have more regional sta- |tions on good positions than it now has. Only in the allocation of local stations of 100 watts power or less has the Badger state been granted |what the law entitles her to, the |draft says. Pointing out that this is the first time the Wisconsin delegation has appeared before the commission to make a united representation in |the name of the state, the draft of the argument asserts that “on the proposition which brings us here |there is complete and wholehearted junanimity, a unanimity which re- flects the sentiment of the three million citizens in whose behalf we address you.’ No plea is made in behalf of any particular station or application for ta station, the statement makes clear. Charge Discrimination ‘Reading the radio law and re- ‘}counting the early discriminations against Wisconsin, the tentative draft accepts the allocation to the whole fourth zone without question, ‘tand takes up only what Wisconsin has and what she should have un- der the commission’s$’ own regula- tions and the statute. The commission has established 40 cleared channels and hag allo- cated eight to the fourth zone. On the basis of Wisconsin’s population, the state is entitled to one of these cleared channels; she has none. Il- linois has 4 4-7; Missouri, Iowa. and Minnesota each has one; In- diana has one-half and Nebraska has three-sevenths. Wisconsin, as the delegation points’ out, has a larger population than Iowa, Min- nesota, or Nebraska, so that two of these states with smaller popula- tion than Wisconsin have cieared channels. Under the commission’s own rul- ings, Wisconsin is entitled to 2.208 per cent of the total positions on regional channels, and has received only 2.160 per cent. Few Desirable Positions “Even this figure is really exag- | gerated, we are told,” says the del- ‘legation’s tentative statement, “be- cause the desirability of the posi- tions actually assigned to Wisconsin stations on these channels is very low. In fact, it is said that during the past year the state has enjoyea only one desirable position on any of these regional channels and that ir. the past few months even that has been utterly ruined by putting stations in other zones on that channel.”’ The local stations of low power, of which Wisconsin has her nu- merical quota, “are rarely heard with any degree of satisfaction be- yond the confines of a small town. They give no service at all to the great rural population or to any listeners that do not live under the shadow of their transmitting anten- nae,” the statement now in the hands of the delegation says. Then comes one of the firmest of the statements in the vigorous brief: “The State of Wisconsin cannot and will not barter away its right to its lawful quota of cleared chan- nels and positions on good regional stations for the empty priviiege of having a number of 100-watt sta- tions, The hundreds of thousands of her people living in smali towns and rural communities are entitled to have the very best that broad- easting has to offer brought into their homes from stations located within the state, operated by citl- zens of the state, who are familiar with the wishes and needs of the listening public, and giving Wiscon- sin talent a fair hearing before the radio audience. “They have a right to hear dis- jeussion of the state’s public prob- lems by her men in public life, and to have the advantages of the edu- eational opportunities which her |great educational insitutions have | gladly placed at the disposal of her | broadcasting stations. Certainly our citizens are as much entitled to these privileges as are the citizens of neighboring and other states. State Also Has Message “Wisconsin, too, has a right to make her voice heard beyond her own borders. We know that she has a message just as imoprtant and in- (Continued on Page six, vol. two)

CANADIANS TAKE OFF FROM TELLER TO AID IN SEARCH Examination Indicates Wreck- ed Plane Struck a Low Foothill

ELLER, Alaska— (4) —The mr north Tuesday awaited reports from the searching party near North Cape, Siberia, which has been digging into the ice and snow about the wreckage of Carl Ben Eielson’s airplane expecting to find the body of the noted Aretic aviator and his companion, Earl Borland. Meanwhile, Pat Reid and Ed Young, Canadian pilots, took their two powerful planes into the air here Monday for a 400 mile flight to the Siberian coast where the Eielson-Borland plane was found, Believe Men Dead Alfred Lomen, director of the search for Eielson and Borland, aft- er receiving a report of the discov- ery of the wrecked plane, express- ed the opinion that the bodies of Eielson and Borland would be found there. The searching party, composed of four men, was taken to the scene Sunday by Joe Crosson and Harold Gillam, American flyers who iocated the wreck Saturday. Since Crosson and Gillam operated from the fur trading ship Nanuk, frozen in the ice near North Cape, reports from the searching party were ex- pected from that source, Canadians To Scene Reid and Young, who came here in the hope of flying to Siberia and finding Eielson and Borland alive, were instructed to remain at the scene until “everything is cleared up.” They also will transport vatu- able furs and possibly some of the passengers of the Nanuk to the Alaskan mainland and witl make other trips to return gasoline bore rowed from Russian sources by American flyers in order to contin- ue their search for the lost, aviators, Fielson and Borland were flying to Nanuk, soon after the ship was frozen in, to take furs and passen- gers back to Alaska when they dis- appeared November 9. Plane Hit a Hill tielson’s plane struck a low foot- hill. It was believed he was blinded by either fog or a blizzard and the altimeter may have misguided him, as Crosson reported it registered 1,000 feet when he found it. The scene of the wreck is almost at sea level. ——————

Clock Cuckoos, Betrays Thief Riot Over Girl Dancers

CHICAGO, Jan. 28. ()—At exactly 4 p.m. January 27, 1930, something inside Godfrey Smith went cuckoo. Smith. had no actual need for a cuckoo clock, for he gets up when he feels like it. He could not, however, resist the time- keeper he saw in a store window, so he stuck it under his coat. As he strolled languidly toward the exit it was just 4 p. m.. The clock beneath the coat went “Cuck-oo, . Cuck-o0, Cuck-oo, Cuck-oo.” i A policeman arrested him, for it is against the law to take Cuckoo clock.
