u. S. LENDS SUPPORT
TO RADIO 'CZAR' PLAN
Would Give Unofficial Recognition
to Right of Appointee to
Rule Air Waves.

Should the broadcasters of the
United States set up 'czar OF their
own, on throne similar to those held
by VIII Hays in the movies and kene-
saw NJ. Landis in base ball, the De
partment of Commerce would extend
an unofficial recognition of his right
to rule.
In fact, il was learned today de
partment officials are inclined TO be
lieve that such course might be one
of the best ways in which broadcas st
ing would settle down on some def
mite basis.
Much talk of radio ''czarl' has
reached Washington. Following the
National Radio Conference last Fall,
the matter was discussed throughout
the country. Then it died down. TO
be revived rather enthusiastically
during the past week.
The. Department of Commerce.
through Secretary Hoover. has re-
peatedly expressed its unwiIlinsness
TO regulate broadcasters or censor
broadcasting material. All disputes
over wave lengths, broadcastinG hours
and other phases of the now compli-
Gated radio world have been referred
always back TO the broadcasters for
them 10 solve, with the department
making it's suggestions when all other
recommendations ana plans nave 1all-
ed. But with the development of
radio in the past year this method
has become unwieldy, with the pros
pect of proving even more unsatis-
factory in the coming Fall and Win
ctr.
Apparently the only thing that has
prevented the naming of car" has
been the lack of any close or
ganiZation of the 500odd broad
casters. The National Association of
Broadcasters. formed avowedly with
this end in view, has had the support
of only limited number of the sta
tions. 1t is suggested, however, that
necessity soon may bring about a new
movement for unity and harmonious
co-oDeration with the Government

G|SH.DUELL CASE
 STILL UNDER WAY
Plaintiff Admits He Denied En. Sa6ement to Star

New York, April 2,--Charles H. Duell, who continues under cross examination today as a witness at the trial of his suit to compel Lil- lian Gish, 10 make pictures only for his company, admitted that he went to the law firm of Elihu Root last year to obtain legal advice concern ing possible libel proceedings against a newspaper for publishing that he. and the actress were en- gagged to marry.
 Duell had claimed throughout his testimony that he and Miss Gish were engaged, explaining that there were two phases of the romance playing the role of "Jekyl and Hyde' gagged and another when they were officially engaged.
 Max D. Steuer, counsel for Miss Gish, attacked Duell's story of the engagement, representing him as playing the role of "Jekel and Hyde" in his personal and business rela- tionships with the screen star.
 Pursuing his ross-examination of Steuer relative to the consultation of the law firm, Steuer asked:
 Did not you undertake to hire a lawyer to sue a newspaper for an- nouncing your engagement to Lil- Han Gish, and did you not furnish those lawyers with a statement signed by Lillian Gish you were not engaged?"
 T remember consulting firm Of lawyers" Due1l admitted, and it was shown that the firm was that head ed by Elihu Root.
 And that was because the news paper had falsely printed that you were engaged to Lillian Gish ." con- tinued Steuer.
 T believe that is a fact" said the witness.
 steuer then produced note, signed by Miss Gish, but the body of which he avowed was written in Duelrs handwriting. This was the note supposed to have been pre- scented to the law firm. It read: T am not engaged 10 marry Charles Duell or any other man. Lillian Gish."

FRENCH FINANCES
Minister Clementei Proposed For inalIy in Senate an Increase in Circulation.

By The Associated Piess
 Paris, April 2.--In the senate to- day Finance Minister Clementel pro- posed an increase in the circulation for the needs of commerce.
 The lobby correspondent of the Havas Agency says the report is cur rent there that among the measures decided upon by the cabinet at last nights meeting are an increase of fifty per cent in the present rate of the income tax and the doubling of all other taxes except those on saI- aries, such increases to- be applied for only year or two.
 M. Clementel reiterated that the government had decided under no circumtances to resort to imitation to pay the expenses of the state. The present difficulties, he said, were due to Germany's default, which was weighing heavily upon France. The states borrowing had largely absorb ed the country's leading capacity. while since the last increase in cir cuation the state had also absorbed a great part of the ready money.

st. Adams, VT, Oct. 21.-(AP)-
Four men were arrested and three
automobiles and large quantity of
liquor was seized by U. S. Deputy
Collectors and Inspectors in the dis
trict today. Three seizures were
made, at Hartfort. Richford, and ISL
land Pond.
A cleverly concealed compartment
under the floor of an automobile
driven by Theodore Norton of New

York, was found to contain 12S bot
ties of choice wines and liquors when
federal officers searched the car at
Hartfort. The men crossed the bor-
der late yesterday and were followed
by officers. Their hidden wine cabi-
net with a slot for each bottle was
said to be a novelty in rum-running.

troll pursued a suspicious appearing
automobile the two occupants of the
car jumped out and fed into the
woods. They left behind 1886 bottles
of Canadian ale.
