MOVEMENT FOUGHT

nadians Seek to Curb Ex-
port of Materials.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 22.-The thirty.
ninth annual convention of the Amer.
lean Newspaper Publishers Associa
ton opened today at the Waldorf AS
toria, with 500 publishers from all sec
TOMS of the United States in attend
ance.
Among suggestions made by S. E.
Thomason. president of the associa-
ton. in his opening address was one
recommending semi-annual meet
ing. possibly in the Fall, because of
increased business of the organization.
If we hold such meetings" he
said, II would suggest that they be
at some watering place away from the
diyerting influences of a large city,
In relating the work Of the paper
committee of the association he told
of it's efforts to prevent unjust in
creases in the cost of news print. He
told of attempts of American manu-
facturerS to have new restrictions
placed on the free importation of
news print. and said that interested
elements in Canada have been work
ing to limit the export of raw ma
terials for news print in a maner cal
culated to increase the manufacturing
cost of American-made paper"
Have Baked High Costs.
Thus far he said. the association s
paper committee has been successful
in preventing imposition of great bur
dens upon the news print buying
publishers. Efforts to obtain 4 new
Se Treasury Department, which
would have greatly increased the cost
of the product, have been prevented
by the associations paper committee,
he reported.
Discussing relations with labor. Mr.
Thomason said that negotiation OF
international arbitration contracts
with several printing trades unions
had been made virtually impossible
because of the limited power placed
with the officers of the association
and of the unions themselves. He
asked that the present convention
increase the latitude of the assecia
tion's committee in negotiating con
tracts. Negotiations with the typog.
raphers', stereotypers', and mailers
unions have been resumed, he said
The speaker also suggested that the
publishers association take a leaf
from the book of labor in training ex
perts to draw arbitration contracts
He asserted that the unions have been
successful in training contract nego
tiators at international headquarters
who subsequently aided local unions
in drawing contracts. He recommend
ed that the publishers take similar
steps to train their representatives
Discussing mailing costs. Mr. Thorn
ason mentioned the attempts to make
radical increases in second-class postal
rates, which, he said were brought
about ssby postal employees in. their
campaign to seek higher pay.
Concerning the effects of a new
definition of standard news print he
said:

forts to secure the adoption of new

BIC BANK HOLD-UP
F0|LED BY ARREST
Use OF Gas, Bombs and Guns
Planned by Chicago
Bandits Gang.
By the Associated Press.

by tne Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 22-Information
that Henry ]. Ferneke. diminutive
bandit captured in a library Satur-
day, was planning a sensational day
light robbery of one of Chicago's
largest downtown banks, was OBJ
tanned yesterday when the police
searched the home of Mrs. Anna
Bauchamp, 40.
Mrs. Bauchamp operated a roomins
house in which, the police said.
Ferneke laid his plans and cached
smoke bombs. gas tanks and weapons.
which were to be used in the planned
robbery. In the cellar of the house
policemen found the equipment. after
a detective disguised as a laborer.
rented room in the house and lived
there for several weeks.
William Shoemaker, chief of detec-
tives. summarized the alleged plan
to rob the bank, the name of which
was withheld
in two automobiles" he said. There
were to be about 10 men in the plot.
Each had his duties and had been
drilled in them by Ferneke.
Had Big Arms Supply.
I'm the cars they were to bring
rifles. sawed-off shotguns and revol-
-vers. enough 10 equip a regiment of
Infantry. Also they were TO bring
three big tanks of ammonia. gas
masks for themselves. and 10 smoke
bombs to cut off pursuing policemen.
I'VE have all this material.
They were TO enter the bank and
close all the doors. The men carry
ing the ammonia tanks were to un-
loose the caps, and set the poison
fumes into the air.
'"The bandits. safe behind the gas
masks, would then loot the cages and
vaults of every cent of coin and paper
money and bonds.
Almost before the police could
hear of it. they planned. they would
be on their way. If we followed in
time to make it uncomfortable they
would set off their smoke bombs in
the downtown streets, and sent up
such black clouds that day would be-
come night and we would be lost.
IF we penetrated this smoke and
still pursued, they would open fire
with the arsenal of guns and try to
fight their way to safety"
The states attorney here has de-
cided to turn Ferneke over to Rock
land County, n. ~, authorities to face
murder charges.

pose upon the publishers membership
an unquestioned increased cost OF
news print. To date the efforts of
the paper committee have been sue
cessful in preventing the adoption of
an offensive Treasury Department
definition.
In this connection it is we'll worth
noting that had the proposed modifi-
cation of the news print definition been
adopted, the inspection methods pro-
posed would have added approximate
ly $3.50 a ton to the cost of all news
print imported from Canada and
abroad.
The radio committee discussed at
length the effect of broadcasting de-
velopments on newspapers. Asserting
that there is now a radio field of 25,
900 900 persons, the COMMITTEES found
that the printing of programs was
, news in its strictest sense. Radio
fans, as a class. are more nearly
identified with newspaper readers
| than any other group the report
said.
Radio Aids Circulation.
Dissemination of. important news
events served as a stimulus of circu-
iation rather than as a deterrent, the
committee reported. pointing out
that, although news of the recent
tornado in the Middle West was
broadcast throughout the country
the following day Chicago papers had
the largest circulation of the month.
/ Although the radio bid for advertis-
ing is making some inroads on the
newspapers, it is still in such an ex-
perimental stage that definite conciu-
sions cannot be drawn, the committee
found. As to it's value the committee
said:
None of the experiments in adver-
tising by broadeasting has been
claimed to be profitable. Broadcasting
advertising, if it becomes more speci.
fic in it's nature. is likely to create a
reaction on the listeners which will be
unfavorable rather; than a help to the
advertiser. Radio fans are beginning
to resent the dissemination of the
lower forms of radio advertising mat
ter through the ether lanes. Only
programs of the highest caliber can
survive the turning OF the radio fans
dials,

The qualifications for the posi-
tion of. chief radio supervisor may
eventually include complete
knowledge of psychiatry as well as
a thorough familiarity with wave
lengths and the odds and ends of
radio science.
Ever since radio broadcasting be-
came a national institution, letters
complaining of mysterious mes
sages, tuned in without the aid of
receiving set and usually of a
terrifying nature, have found their

In OIL CASE SEEN
Grand Jury to Meet May May
Again Hear. Evidence
Against Group.

The new grand jury summoned for
May 4 may hear evidence of wit
nesses in new criminal proceedings
against the central figures in the oil
scandal. Indictments returned last
June were recently quashed by Chief
Justice Mccoy, and while the Gov
ernment has appealed from the rul-
ing, it is not unlikely 1t will try to
get new indictments.
The conspiracy case is admittedly
not barred from submission to a new
grand jury because the statute of
limitations in such matters has yet
three years to run. There is ques-
tion if the bribery indictments could
be revived.

NEW YORK, April 22.-John D.
Rockefeller, jr., in an address last
night before about 200 members of
the Federated Mems Clubs of Tarry-
town and vicinity, declared he could
not recall ever hearing his father say
a harsh word to any of his children.
The reference to his father was
made in, illustrating the speaker s
topic, which was, in substance. the
superiority of example to command
in influencing the young.
Il cannot remember hearing my
father say a harsh word to any of his
children" said Mr.. Rockefeller. Il
cannot remember his ever criticizing
us. 1t was not what he said but what
he did through his example that
guided us.
When the father sits at home,
reads the paper and insists that the
son and daughter go to Sunday school,
1t doesn't carry much weight.
The father who says to his son,
Come" has some influence. The father
who says to his son. Go! has con-
siderable less influence"
