Committees Start
Work on Problems
BrOadcasting Field

Washington, Nov. 1O.-(AP)-
Committees of the fourth National
radio conference went to work today
on the special problems assigned to
their study with overcrowding in the
broadcasting field and the relations
between broadcasters and music
copyrighters overshadowing all 9TH
er questions before the delegates.
The nine committees named by
Secretary Hoover at the opening ses-
sion of the conference yesterday
were scheduled to make their pre-
liminary reports, after separate
meetings, to q full meeting or the
conference later in the day.
Another matter to which the dele
gates are giving their attention is a
proposal by number of radio ex-
perts that the lower wave lengths
between $50 and 200 meters, now
used by amateurs, be placed at the
disposal of commercial broadcasting
stations. Opposition to this already
has developed among both amateur
radio broadcasters. represented
through the National Amateur Radio
Relay League by Hudson p. Maxim,
Jr., its president, and many owners
of commercial broadcasting stations
who are against any change in pre-
sent wave length ALLEGATIONS. at
least until after the international
radio conference next year.
The dispute between radio broad
casters and copyright owners already
has come sharply to the front in the
conference discussions. with both
sides asserting they will take their
cases to Congress during the coming
session to obtain legislation to pro-
tect their rights.
The broadcasters, through Paul B.
Klugh of New York, executive secre-
tary of the National Association of
Broadcasters, has proposed that the
conference recommend legislation es-
tablishing a fair basis for payment
of royalties to copyright owners by
broadcasters.
In Immediately opposing this plan,
E. c. Mills of New York, represent
ing the American Society of Com
posers, authors and publishers, de-
clared It would amount to Congress
ional price fixing. Mr.. Klugh replied
however. that there was evident need
of fixed basis of rayolties in order
that broadcasters might feel a Sc
curity from uncertain royalty
charges.
The conference already has re-
vealed a strong sentiment in favor
of limiting the number of broad
casting stations to prevent further
congestion of the other, with many
favoring a reduction in the present
number of stations.

SANITY OF FATHER

Although the defense has rested its
case in the trial of DR.. Harold Elmer
Blazer who is charged with the MUIR
der OF his "a year old imbeeile

the trial.
DR.. Howell T. Pershing Ct Denver,

clared that the letters DR.. Blazer
left to explain his act and direct the
disposition Of his property were
enough alone to indicate to me that
he was suffering from severe mental
disorder"
The defense rested its case shortly
before noon after DR.. Pershing con-
cluded his testimony and prosecutor

FRENCH PREMIER
HAS FINANCIAL PLAN
FOR DEPUTIES 0. K,

Paris, Nov. 10.-(AP)-Premie
Painleve will submit his proposals
in the form of a bill for financial
restoration to the chamber of de-
puties Thursday. The groups COM
posing M. Painleve's majority in the
chamber have found it impossible
to agree either on the government
financial measures or on the social
list plan for a capital levy. 1t was
therefore decided that the situation
could be cleared only by a vote of
the chamber.
This decision, when 1t became
known in the Hobbies, was accepted
as the death knell of the cabinet.
The premier, however, gave no indi-
cation of any intention to resign. as
was the case when he had disagreed
with M. Caillaux: he accepted the
challenge of the Socialists and will
go before the chamber and fight 1t
out.
The government has taken its
position upon the financial measures
and IS glad that the finance commit
tee has done likewise" he said upon
leaving Elysee Palace this evening
1.-THE issue is now clearly up to
parliament, and we hope it will be
decided before long"
M. Painleve's action Is attributed
in some quarters to criticisms aris-
ing through the changes he made in
his cabinet during the parliamentary
recess, though those close to him de-
clare that he Is thoroughly aroused
by the antagonism he iias encoun-
tered among friends. and proposes to
make them show their hands in the
open.
The finance committee Of the
chamber today finally disposed OF
the Socialist capital levy proposal,
deciding against 1t by a vote OF Il
to Z. with five abstentions. Because
Of this vote the Socialist leaders an
nounced that their coalition with the
radicals ana Republican socialists
was at an end.
These developments caused a SEN
sation in the radical party. The de-
cision Of the Socialists being recog-
rized as making it impossible for
NJ. Painleve or any other leader OF
the parties of the Left to form q
stable government.
Immediately speculation became
rife as to the possible makeup Of a
concentration cabinet on the basis
OF the sacred union" of parties
which prevailed throughout the war.
NJ. Rrundy'a- name was mentioned
most prominently for the head OF
such combination. M. Painleve's
last word when informed that the
Left bloc had been unable to accept
his measures, was: II shall not
abandon my plan: shall not take to
flight: I shall fall fighting, II that is
what my friends of the Left want"
