Anyone who remained impartial
while the Warren controversy was
raging in the Senate must have
found it well nigh impossible to
remain so after Senator Tom Walsh
address, over WRC last night. After
y .ening to that address. impartiality
was out of place. 1t was either
with him" or "agin him.
It was an excellent speech the
Senator from Montana made to the
air fans and undoubtedly cleared
up the question in the minds OF
many. Let's have another speaker,
now, who WAS high up in the Prasi-
dents camp to present Mr.. Coolidge's
explanation of the affair.
Senator Walsh said that Charles
Beecher Warrens nomination for
Attorney General was twice rejected
by the Senate not on the grounds
that he had been legal counsel for
big corporations but because he was
a coconspiratcr in the organization
and operation Of the sugar trust, and
participated in it's most offensive
practices"
The senator said the facts of the
case had been gathered from War
ren's own testimony to the COM
mittee or from his correspondence
with Henry o. Havemyer, head OF
the trust"
1t was a strong and bitter speech,
Of the kind the Senator gave In
the Senate just before the second
vote when he got much of the credit
or blame for the final outcome.
The Senator paused emphatically
several times during his address,
particularly after a significant
statement regarding farmers made
by Mr. Warren in one of his let
tiers to Havemyer. The remark
was none too complimentary to-
ward farmers in general.
WIN, New York, operated by
Marcus Loew. which has been fill
ing its programs with music from
Broadway cabarets ever since 1t
was established will be more dis.
eliminate in its choice of entertain
ment hereafter and only the bet
ter class" Of night clubs will be al
lowed to broadcast, according to
word from New York today.
Loew's station has been operat.
ing as a commercial station and
charging the cafes to broadcast.
But the owner has become sudden
ly dissatisfied with the character
of some of the places from which
music was being broadcast and has
changed the business management
of his station.
In a letter received today thank
ing us for the kind review" OF
his radio talk in yesterdays column,
William Hard says:
"I know / have been rather sol
enn. I realize, however, that
cannot possibly Guido my dear
friend, Fred Vile, at being pictur-
esque. So I have been solemn,
and / ams going to be solemn, as
an alternative.
There was some good music on
the local program last night. The
Brunswick Music Memory Contest
and the LIE Paradis Band gave us
the best of two different types OF
musical entertainment, and the
program was topped off by two
excellent recitals by Ruth Peter,
soprano and Elizabeth Winston,
pianist. The latter. coming just
before the LIE Paradis music, was
broadcast by WIZ and W4Y in
addition to WRC.
