DANIELS DENIES HE
BOUGHT RADIO PLANT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. In reply TO
the speech OF Republican Leader Mann
in the house yesterday declaring sec
retarv Daniels should be impeached for
purchasing radio stations after author"
ity had been refused by congress, Mr.,
Daniels said today the navy depart
ment had not proceeded in any way
toward the acquisition Of high power
commercial radio stations or the build
ing Of a new naval plant since congress
failed TO authorize these projects.
The secretary said Representative
Mann probably was confused by the
fact that the department as war
measure bought low-power stations DO
ing a ship -to-shore business with radio
extension funds provided by congress
for which specific authority never was
asked or refused. The purchase, the
secretary said, was arranged before the
signing of theAarmlstiCe, although a
dispute as to aprce delayed It's con
summation unth some time In Novem-
Der.
AS to the purchases Of private sta
tions which communicate with foreign
countries as proposed in the govern
ment radio monopoly plan, which the
house naval committee rejected, and
the proposed erection OF great high
power naval station at Monroe, N. c.,
Mr. Daniels said negotiations had been
dropped. A presidential order author
lied the purchase or land at Monroe
before the armistice, he added. but he
had ordered negotiations suspended
when hostilitIes stopped until congress
sIonal authority could be obtained,

BOND PLEDGES DUE, BUT
PAYMENTS TO CONTINUE

WASHINGTON, Jan 30.--To correct
misapprehensons reflected in many IN
auiries, treasury officials explained to-
day that, although the final 30 per
cent payment on the fourth Liberty
loan was due today at the treasury
and federal reserve banks. this would
not affect bond purchasers who are
buying from banks or other institutions
on the monthly installment plan. The
monthly instaliment arrangements are
strictly between the subscriber and the
bank, and the bank will pay the in
stallment due today, virtually granting
credit to the individual subscriber for
remaining payments. Owing to ad-
vance payments, far ahead Of the re-
uuired schedule, only about $500, 900 900
remained to be paid today to complete
the Sc, 9S9, 900 900 of the fourth loan.
