 RADIO CONCERTS NOW
By Associated Press

Washington. Aurl 24.--Elimina- ton of the storage battery, the most expensive part of the home made radio receiving set is now possible. according to the bureau of stand ards of the department of commerce.
 The receiving sets which are now used in receiving radio signals. mu- sic. etc, over distances of perhaps hundreds of miles require a storage battery to light the filiaments of the electron tubes. The battery must be charged from time to time, it Is bulky and heavy, the acid in 1t is a source of danger and damage to the household and altogether it consti tutes drawback to the general nse of radio sets.
 The receiving set developed by the bureau of standards makes eonnec- tion with the ordinary electric lamp socket. The set may be used with any type Of antenna, and by special modes of connection, it is even possi- ble to use the electric light wires themselves as the antenna.

NEW TWIST IN
 RUSSIAN TANGLE
By A.soclafed Press

Genod, Aprll 24,-Another new twist in the Russian tangle again causes inquietude in conference cir cles Seemingly the Russian dele gates have developed a new set of proposals. It is understood that at the meeting of the experts on the Russian question this afternoon the soviet delegates argued for the com plete wiping out of the war debts and also relinquishment of all arrears in interest on prewar debts.
 Simultaneously they asked for as surances that the powers would grant loans sufficient to enable Rus sia to reorganize her national life.
 As the soviet had previously given the allies to understand that a seal ing down of the war debts would be accepted, the demand Of the dele gates for protocol cancelling these debts caused great surprise to the representatives of the powers. who reported to the chiefs of their re- spective delegations that the trend of today's meeting with the bolshe- wiki indicated the possibility of in- superable difficulties in coming to some arrangement with the soviet.

Washington, April 24.-The ship ping board, as a result of the "rate war" of the Lamport and Holt Steamship company to South Amer ica, through the four shipping board vessels of the Munsen Line, has not only met those rates, but made further reduction to $295 to Rio de Janeiro, $345 to Montevi- deo and $360 to Buenos Aires, Chair man Lasker announced today.
 The Lamport and Holt rates were reduced from s415 to s315 for Rio de Janeiro, from SAYS to s360 for Monte video and. from $490 to S370 for Bue- nos Aires, but these Chairman Las ker said, were for their three in ferior ships and did not apply to the Van Dyke which, he said corresponds to the shipping board vessels, Pan America, Southern Cross, Western world and American Legion.
 Lamport and Holt also announced effective July 1, a reduction in the round trp rate to $500 for Rio de Janeiro and to meet this the shipping board has decided upon rate of s450, effective the same date.
 Chairman Lasker said the new straight rates" would become effec- tive immediately. The Lamport and Holt action, he added, was taken without consulting the Munson Line or the shipping board and could only be interpreted "as a declaration of war" in the South American trade. This war he continued may be the forerunner of similar ones in ocean passenger services in an effort to drive the American flag off the seas. "But our hat is in the ring" he de- clared, "and we will stick as long as necessary to assure American domi nation of the passenger traffic on all oceans"
 Asserting that Lamport and Holt arc running a British flag line," Chairman Lasker said the action of this company was out of clear sky, although the old rates were subject to adjustment. and were, we all be lieVed too h.gh."

Why Haue But One House or Congress Knight Asks
 Manufacturers in Speech
Florida Jurist Scorns Change of Original Constitution and Gives Vent to Wrath in Arraignment of
 Eighteenth and Other Amendments

Col. Peter O. Knight, well known jurist of Tampa. Fla, created sensation in his address. "opti- mism." before the members of the American Supply and Machinery Manufacturers association yesterday morning at the Tutwiler hotel when he severally criticized allowance of amendments to the Constitution Of the United States to be passed and took a direct stand against the six teenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth amendments, stating that they were against the principles laid down in tn original constitution. He also attacked the method of electirg representatives and senators to Con- gress.
 Plays Charge in Basic
 He pointed out that in no case amendments to the constitution should be allowed unless the entire constitution be changed as the Amer ican forefathers had drawn up the document with view of permaneney and that 1t was their intention for it never to be changed.
 Colonel Knight also flayed the quick passage of the soldier bonus bill stating that the congressman had taken fright and passed the bill even against the wishes of the Presi- dent, secretary of treasury and other government officials who had kept in close touch with the financial con- dition of America.
 Senators Unnecessary
 Tho office of senator was created wish a view of removing it from the low@r house so that they would give q JAil loneen aid fn0re4 thonpugif corr sidSration," said Col. Knight. "Ths term of office was made longer so the fear of losing office would never have to be contended with except at a period of several years. But this has defeated its own purpose as past performances have shown that the Senate will take no more consdera- tion than the House, so I do not see why Congress should be divided. Why not have but one House?'
 This session marked the opening of the annual convention of the Ameri- can Supply and Machinery Manufac- turers association which meets here for three day joint convention with the Southern Supply and Machinery Dealers association. During the con vention separate and joint sessions will be held by both associations and adjournment is expected to take place Wednesday afternoon
 Afternoon Session
 The open session of the afternoon was addressed by W. H. Kettig, chairman of the board of the Bir- mingham branch of the Sixth federal reserve district. MT. Kettig's re- markable address is given in full in other columns.
 C. H. Houston. assistant secretary of commerce, made a brief address in which he called attention to ths closer relations existing between his department and the trade associa- tions of the country. He declared the department wished to have these relations of such nature as to be of greatest service to business. He
