OPPOSES FEDERAL
CONTROL OF RADIO
Broadcasters' Head Says
Hoover Idea Would Create

Nv The Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. December 15.-E. +. Nc
Donald, jr.. president of the National
Association of Broadcasters. has
made public a statement relative to
Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover's suggestion that control of
radio communications be placed m
the hands of his department.
Secretary Herbert Hoover's re-
quest for the enactment of a law
giving him sweeping powers, as sug-
Sested in his letter to Representative
Wallace II. White, is dangerous" the
statement said
Enactment of a law such as sus-
sested by Secretary Hoover would
vest any Secretary Of Commerce
with Napoleonic powers. This Is all
right as long as Mr.. Hoover Is Secre-
tary OF Commerce. ] have unboundeu
confidence in him and would be in
favor of putting this tremendous
power into the hands of the Secre
tary of Commerce on one condition.
and that is that Mr.. Hoover give to
the radio hroadcasting industry
guarantee that he will live for 100
Years and that he will serve as Sec
retary of Commerce for that hundred
years.
Adopted Set of Rules.
Mr.. Hoover's recommendation to
Representative White for legislation

tional radio conference. held Octo-
her to 10. 1924 the statement con-
tinues. This was meeting OF
many of the broadcaSters and others
10 agree on certain regulations.
They did very happily agree among
themselves and adopted a set OF rules
for their lfgoyernment. They have
been living up to those rules. and
there has been no difficulty.
ANY future Secretary Of Com
merce with as much power as this
suggested legislation has in view
could limit the circulation of the
h~oadcasting stations. The Postmas-
trr General has large powers, indeed.
hut he cannot limit the circulation
nf newspapers that must go through
his mails. And Yet the circulation
OF the broadrasting stations runs
into many millions.
Asks Appeal Provision.
one of these days we shall be
confronted with the need of special
communication laws, and if that
liend exists now let me urge for the
good of the community that If it is
to stay in the hands of the Depart
ment of Commerce that provision be
made for appealing from any deci

But such a tribunal should exist for
obvious reasons.

should be a communication commits

EXHIBITION SUCCESS
Many New Markets Created by Dis plays and Several Big Deals Closed Following Wembley Show.

London. Nov. 7.--If the Wembley exhibition has not been a financial success to the promoters, 1t has been an unqualified success from the point of view of sales and orders. Many new markets, it's is declared, have been created through the exposure of goods, and some Canadian and Australian manufacturers have sold their outputs for the next five years.
 Among the big business deals con- cluded, the following are recorded:
 One engineering firm received or ders from five different municipali- ties for an equal number of electri- cal generating installations; a pro- vincial grocer increased his sale of New Zealand butter by 100 per cent in two months; a Canadian dried milk dealer sold his output for the next five years to British firm; one million boxes of Canadian fruit were ordered by European buyers; sales in the Indian Pavilion amounted to Sc50,000 in three months: the little colony of Cyprus was overwhelmed with orders; one French firm asked for 20.000 dozen boot heels, and an- other dealer ordered s145,000 worth of Cyprus asbestos.

SECOND CANDIDATE NAMED
Isaac Black Nominated for Kiwanis Service Medal in Connection With His Work for Hotel.

Interest in the Kiwanis service medal to be awarded to the citizen who is declared by the public of New Britain through the Herald to have performed the most outstand- ing public service during the past 10 months, continues to increase.
 The committee on approval has received seven names, two of which have been approved. The first one approved was that of Rev. Dr. J. F. Klingberg, superintendent of the Chidren's Home. Today announce ment Is made that the committee has approved the name of Isaac Black, president of the Elihu Burritt hotel corporation. Mir. Black was chair man of the general committee of the drive during the campaign for funds and was elected head Of the corporation on it's organization.
 Nominees to qualify must have performed some service of outstand- ing community benefit, not in con- nection with their regular vocation. The committee feels that this does not bar Dr. Klingberg since he came here as the minister of a church, founded and developed the chill dren's home through his interest in humanity and his faith in Divine as sistance and has never at any time received a definite salary from the nome, even though he is it's active superintendent.

SENATE MAY RULE
 ON IOWA ELECTION
tContinued from First Page)

tions laws afforded ground for much speculation among Iowa politicians. somo held the opinion that numer- ous ballots thrown out because of idcntifications marks might be &C., ccpted by the senate on the grounds that the intent of the voter was clear, despite failure strictly to comply with the state law.
 The ballots In question were straight republican votes. except for scratch for the democratic can didate for the senate. To set out this Scratch" hundreds of voters drew an arrow on the ballot, point ing tho "X" opposite steck's name.
 The Iowa supreme court has ruled that any mark on a ballot placed outside the prescribed circle or square except by apparent accident invalidated the ballot.
 Atty. Gen. Not Sure
 Attorney General Gibson said to- day he was not sure that the senate could accept these ballots, which have been ruled out in the state count. They are 10 be preserved and sent to Washington along with the accepted ballots. if recount is de- manded.
 The exact number of these ballots Is not known here. Estimates have placed the number |. from several hundred 10 more than a thousand.
 The belief that there was a large number was based on the fact that republican newspapers all over the state published sample ballots car rying arrows pointing to steck's name and that voters generally might have gained the impression that the arrow insert was permissi- ble.
 There also were reports that numerous straight republican bal lots had been discarded.
