THREE STATIONS
 BROADCAST TALK
WBz One of Those Having
 Queen Marie on the Air

New York, Oct. 23 P,-Many radio fans who counted upon hear ing the voice of queen have been disappointed.
 Due to a misunderstanding in broadcasting time, Queen Marie of Rumania failed to keep an engage ment to speak from 21 stations in a national hook up last evening. AL though her address at dinner given in her honor by the Iron and Steel Board of Trade at the Hotel Com modore did get on the air.
 Only three stations, this city one in Washington, and another in Springfield, Mass, carried the royal voice.
 Apologies to Queen
 Announcements were that the queen would speak between S:30 and g o'clock. She arrived at the studio q half-hour early. however, and left while David Sarnoff was arranging for her to go on the air at once. When he returned to the reception room to find her gone, he immedi- ately went to her suite at the Hotel Ambassador to offer his apologies.
 Mrs. Hartman, speaking for the queen, said other engagements pre- vents Her Majesty from waiting.
 A typewriter company, which broadcast the Dempsey -Tunney fight had arranged for the broadcasting by the queen. Announcers said an ice cream company has arranged for her to broadcast next Friday.
 Gary is Postmaster
 Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the United States corporation, was toastmaster of the dinner in the queens honor at the Hotel Com- modore. Prince Nicolas was with his mother but the Princess neana remained at her hotel.
 After presentation to the assem- bled guests. Judge Gary asked the queen to talk about herself.
 Most people like to do that and my family tells me I talk too much about myself" Her Majesty replied. But 1t is through me that l want you to know and love my country"
 Her crown, she said, signiied a mission to build up Rumania and lead 1t toward progress. She then related that an elderly. Rumanian lady had once called her stupid saying that she did nothing.
 Had Six Children
 But did bear six children" she said, and I thought that was doing something.'
 During the war, she said, i've were coerced by one side, and then by | the other. Russia was horrid to us. | They were all horrid to us. It is more demoralizing somehow to be | neutral than to be at war. There is one thing that we have all got to do, and that is to build up again and keep war out of the world"
 This brought vigorous applause, as did a later remark about having be- come reconciled with German rela- tives who were estranged when Ru- mania entered the war.

Kentucky Moonshine Best
 In Country, Andrews Says

Washington, Oct. 23 R-Ihe only liquor worth drinking today comes from the stills in the noun tains of Kentucky. Tennessee and North Carolina, Assistant Secretary Andrews, chief of the dry forces, says.
 The dry chief admits that little progress has been made against the mountain distillers by his forces and he doesn't anticipate that there will be any wiping out of the industry in the near future. Hitting at the bigger source of supplies is occupy ing his attention now and he thinks this problem alone will give his men plenty to do, although he doesn't intend to neglect the moon- sinner.
