Dill of Washington in an address at
the dinner Of the radio industries.
Senator Dill took the stand that
radio needs legislation to free rather
than burden 1t.
"If Congress should establish such
a board" he said, 'it will be the be-
ginning of the end Of the freedom of
action in the radio business. Con-
gress waited so years after the build
ing of the first railroad before it
created the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Radio is only five years
old. Why establish a new Federal
board to issue regulations and meddle
with radio before it has fully estab-
lished itself?"

BALLOU URGES
EXTENSION Of
SCHOOLS
DepIores overcroWding Again.
Says Swear Program Alone
Will End Problem

Adoption Of the five-year school
expansion program is apparently
the only solution for the seriously
corgested classrooms, DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent Of District
schools, declared today.
Officials have been forced to con-
tinue the halliday shifts and adopt
other drastic methods Of relief
to offset the striking inadequacies
of school buildings. These arrange
ments are not now.
For several years 1t has been
necessary to curtail the hours Of
thousands Of pupils, in order that
the system might make a fair
showing in handling an ever-increas-
ing number OF boys and girls.
This congestion, while not abb
normal, still is a serious problem"
said Doctor Ballou today, and at
the same time, it is one Of our
best arguments for the five-year
program.
II deeply regret that overcrowd-
ing has again made imperative
the continuance of established re-
lief methods, but we have no alter
native, and will have none until
q suitable building program is put
in force"

stocks in these groups.
Pan American Western caused a
mild sensation with it's AZ point
jump to 33 at the opening, as a re-
suit OF reports that the Doheny in
terests would forthwith place the
stock on dividend basis. There
was plenty Of stock for sale at the
higher prices, however, and a de-
cline back to 20 soon followed. Most
of the Standard Oil and Independ-
ent Oil issues lost the gains &C.
quired in yesterdays closing rally,
and were back to their former price
levels. Meanwhile, the wholesale
gasoline market was reported con-
siderably stronger.
Carolina Light and Power sold
up points to 427 in active trading;
Lehigh Power, National Power and
