An attempt to negotiate a con

ganization OF the $4,000, 900, o0C
Ward Food Products Corporation
would not be completed is being
made by the Department Of Jus
tice, it was learned today.
! Attorneys for the Government
and the defendants already have
discussed the matter informally ir
an effort to arrange terms OF 8
decree which would be satisfactory
The Ward corporation IL charged
in the Government's pending suit
with maintaining gigantic monop
oily in bread and other foodstuffs
and with seeking to eliminate com.
petition in the wholesale baking
business. The suit was filed under
the Sherman antitrust and Clayton
acts at Baltimore.
Seek Restraint Order
Under the proposed decree, sim
lar to that secured in the action
against the National Food Products
Corporation at New York. the
Ward corporation and other defend.
ants would be required to dispos-
sess themselves of their interests
In any competing company.
The Government also wants all
Injunction that would restrain the
corporations charged with violating
the antitrust laws from maintain.
ing interlocxing ownership and CEN
trail control OF business policies.
In case of consent decree no
testimony would be submitted. The
Government and attorneys for the
defendants would appear to inform
the court that the proposed decree
was satisfactory to- both sides and
the action already begun would be
discontinued. Is
Defendants In Case
Included in the list OF defendants
In the Ward case are the Ward
Baking Corporation, Ward Baking
Company, General Baking Corpor-
alton, General Baking Company.
Continental Baking Corporation.
United Bakeries Corporation, VIII
liam B. Ward and other individual
officials OF the various companies.
Officials said that the Govern
nent would insist on a provision Of
the decree perpetually enjoining
the defendants from ownership or
control over corporations engaged
in the same general line Of busi-
ness.
The National Food Products con-
sent decree restrained this company
from control OF competitors In five
specific lines of business. 1t was
understood that the Ward interests
were even more extensively en-
gagged and that a decree In this
case. II catered, would be moro
elaborate than the National judg-
ment.

 Gloomchasers, two clever harmon!
 singers who were pinch hitters fol
 the Record Boys.
 While this column is devoted mostly to WTIC we wish to state that the station had by far the best offering of the evening, if the pro- grams could be believed, and we have every reason for thinking that they were true. It seems that the | Record Boys were unable to be present last evening and the Gloom chasers took their place, filling it capably. We suspect that they are the well known Imperial Imps, al- | though We wouldn't say so officially. At any rate, the music they turned out was THERE.
 Well, Levitow's ensemble started the program by playing March of | The Toys" and then Miss Giles sang 10, Lo, the Gentle Lark" We've fallen for her voice, there's no doubt about that. If We remember correct ly. she os the Heroine of the Royal Hour at WIZ. Then came the Gloom chasers in Scatter Your Smiles, ," their later offerings being I'm Lone ly Without You" and "Ukulele Lady," Excellent. There was a string quartet there, too and this group rendered such numbers as Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" The or chestra played Song of The Flame" with Miss Giles taking the vocal solo, and then the group played selections from Martha" and When The Day Is Done" There were several other features, among them another solo by Miss Giles, a violin solo by Mr. Levitow and the concluding number, Moonlight and Roses" in which the entire company took part. There's no doubt about it; the pro- gram was one of the best We have heard from the Travellers studio in many months.

Through fife Stahc

Another listless night with little | of note on the air and no ambition 1 from the stations, with the eXcep-
 tion of course of WTIC, WIZ and
 WBZ. We caught no distance, and there was no sense in trying for ie
 because it was absolutely out of the
 question. Static was with us all
 evening, although not in any great quantity. We had a buzz somewhere,
 but we can't seem to find it now. We started off at WIZ and, after hearing several selections by the O. sen club orchestra, We heard several
 more. It was announced that the original George Olsen orchestra,
 which has been on tour for about two weeks, will be back at the Hotel Pennsylvania next week and will re- sume broadcasting next Tuesday evening.
 The Xylophone player of Markels Society Octet played a solo that had more pep and punch and speed than
 did Gene Tunney Thursday evening.
 That's only natural unless aforesaid XylOphone player were working for a slow motion picture concern. The name of the number was The WhirlWind." He also put over a spe-
 cial arrangement of "Old Kentucky
 Home," soft and sweet. Honestly, sometimes the instrument sounded
 like an organ. The xylophone was
 one of the high spots of the eve
 ming and there's no kidding there
 Among the orchestras selections
 were Ting -a-Ling" "Only You and
 Lonely Me" and Red, Red Robin."
 We dashed in to find out how
 Hartford was making out, our first visit taking place as the farm pro- gram was being broadcast in con
 junction with WCAC, Storrs. A pronounced generator hum and a submerging Of the voice of the speaker was the result, although the operators improved transmits sion constantly. The program came through without a flaw from WCAC, when we ran over to that station. Last night was the first time that WTIC hooked up with WCAC and it is expected that great improve ments will have been made before next Friday evening when the sec ond program of that type is to be broadcast. After the program from Storrs, WTIC furnished a program i to WCAC, as far as we could make i out. Apparently there was trouble at | the other end, because Hartford | shut off suddenly several times, but i started up again within q second or two.
 The Knickcrbockcr Four of Bos- . ton presented worthy offering, fea- ] turing q group Of favorite selections. . The baritone of the quartet has an especially effective voice, it seemed i to us, and his rendition of a seleC- | ton from Faust was excellent. The group sang, among others, sitting On Top Of The World" The Lost Chord" a special arrangement of Three O'Clock in The Morning" and i that beautiful composition, "The i Palms" The bass soloist favored | with Bells of The Sea-" which didn't bore us a-tall
