PLAN TO CONTROL.
 RADIO SCORED.
Broadcaster Mcdonald Terms Secretary Hoover
 Suggestions Unfeasible
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-E. F. Nc Donald, Jr., president of the national association of broadcasters, tonight made public the following statement relative to Secretary of Commerce Hoover's suggestion that control of radio communication be placed in the hands of his department:
 Secretary Herbert Hoover's request for the enactment of law giving him sweeping powers as suggested in his letter to Representative Wallace Ii. White is dangerous.
 "Enactment of law such as sug- gested by Secretary Hoover would vest any secretary of commerce with Napoleonic power. This is all right as long as Mr. Hoover is secretary of com merce. I have unbounded confidence in him and would be in favor of putting this tremendous power into the hands of the secretary of commerce on one condition, and that is that Alr. Hoover give to the radio broadcasting indus try a guarantee that he will live for one hundred years and that he. will serve as secretary of commerce for that hundred years.
 Any future secretary of commerce with as much power as this suggested legislation has in view, could limit the circulation of the broadcasting stations

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-15

"One of these days we shall be con- fronted with the need of special com munication laws, and if that need exist now let me urge for the good of the community that if it is to stay in the hand of the department of commerce that provision be made for appealing from any decision of the secretary of commerce There should be a power to review, an appellate court, so to speak, and 1 care not whether that body be made up of broadcasters, of mem- bers of the judiciary, or members of the navy or army, or any other group.
 "The natural and logical solution should be a communication commission to function on the order of the in terestate commerce commission, to be self-controlling, and to be vested with powers similar to those granted the interstate commerce commission, and it should have under it's jurisdication the allied means of communication, tels> rraph. telephone, cable and radio"

 York's first famous murder, that of Gen eral Nathan. The murder of the flower girl of whom Poe wrote was only mem- orable because of his story, but the Nathan staying was the sensation of the decade. The murderer escaped detec- tion, although one of General Nathan's sons died in exile, the victim of a prob- ably unwarranted suspicion. The old Nathan house has long ago given place to modern structure. It is unlikely that there has been a reference to the tragedy in 30 years.

 Lovely" moans New York when any one speaks of Diana. It's a sort of a ritual. But she isn't, in my opinion. She's too long-legged and ungainly. Of course, she had to be more or less that way, for if she were normally propor- toned she would look fat and dumpy when viewed from the ground on the heighth of the Madison Square Garden tower. Nevertheless I adhere to my opinion that as work of art she ranks with croquet as a sport.

He is still the Babe Ruth of his profession, and extorts printed mat ter where others barely manage to get their stuff in the wastebasket.
 His latest campaign is one of abuse of the critics. He writes bitter, indig- nant, witty, intolerant letters to the bright young men, indicating that in his opinion their mental processes are of two guinea-hen power. Whereupon the critics react angrily and print his let ters and their defenses. And the name of the attractionN which Mir. Page is representing keeps running in and out.
