balance. When the national army

later as troops from Marshal Chang's
Manchurian army entered the city he

Marshal WI Pei-fu has not, at this

GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION
WILL MEET IN FLAGSTAFF

Flagstaff has been decided upon
by the directors of the Arizona
Good Roads association for the
midsummer meeting which will be
held June 25 and &C. The legisla-
tive committee of the association
has been working since the Janu-
airy meeting on highway bill to
be presented to the voters on the
September ballot. This bill was
approved by the board of directors
of the association June 4, and petit
tions are being circulated for the
required number of signatures.
This bill will be placed before
the membership of the association
at the Flagstaff meeting, and, ac-
cording to the sentiment at the an
nual meeting at Yuma last year, it
will receive almost unanimous
support.
The Hassayampa trail on the
west, the Fossil creek highway up
the center and the new Coronado
trail on the east all assure good
travelling for those coming from
the south to Flagstaff for the meet
ing and Good Roads association
members usually travel by auto to
learn the road conditions of all
parts of the state, say officials.
The Flagstaff Chamber of Com
merce has broadcast a cordial in
vitation to all good roads enthusi-
asts of the state, and Colonel
Weatherford assured the Yuma
convention that his road to the top
of the world would be open, whence
one could look into California, Mex
leo, New Mexico and Colorado. The
secretary of the Flagstaff Chamber
of Commerce will make hotel res
ervations for those who request
them.

GOVERNOR CAN
NOT PAROLE A
FELON ON HONOR

PHOENIX - The governor of
Arizona is not vested with the
right to parole prisoners from the
state penitentiary on their honor,
the supreme court ruled late last
week.
The case was that of r. B. Sims,
former warden of the prison, YER
sus the superior court of Maricopa
county, Judge NJ T. Phelps, and
Claude Bergman, clerk.
The opinion, written by Justice
Henry D. Ross and concurred in by
Chief Justice McAlister and Justice
A. c. Lockwood, hold that the gov
ernor does not have the power to
parole prisoners, but that power
lies solely with the state board of
parole and pardons. Furthermore,
the court ruled, parole can be
granted only after the expiration of
the minimum sentence. The opin-
ion does not question the right of
the governor to issue reprieves,
communications of sentences or par
dons upon recommendation of the
DOard or pardOnS and paroles.
The superior court held Sims in
contempt of court and assessed a
fine of $50 for releasing Jimmie
Douglas, former prize fighter, from
the prison on parole before the ex-
piration of the minimum sentence.
Douglas had been recommended
for parole to the governor by the
parole board and proclamation of
parole issued.
This opinion is the first one by
the supreme court in which the pa
role and pardon laws of the state
have been defined. The court an
swered affirmatively the question:
"Has superior judge jurisdiction
over the state prison to the extent
that he may control the course of
the executive department in charge
of the said prison by means of a
summary proceeding?"

RADIO LEGISLATION
PLANS EXPECTED
Joint Conferees Of Congress to
Meet January 4 on Bills
Now Pending.

Congress adjourned until January
without making known its decision

legislation. However, the joint con-

uary 4 and may have some announce
ment for the waiting radio world.
Two sessions Of the eight legislators,

operation and development may be
said to rest. failed to result In any
agreement with regard TO a proposed
composite bill. combining the features
OF the Dill and White radio measures
passed last session by the Senate and
House, respectively.
Just before the recess it was said
the congressional octet was as far
apart as ever. but it was predicted
that this group would yet render
some harmonious selections which
would please the ears of the listeners.
Nothing in the way of progress can
be reported. except that the majority
Of these conferees seem anxious to
have a permanent radio regulating

WOK Reaches Far.

Since the installation Of WOk's new

These letters proved the theory tnat
this tyne of antenna was especlahy
adapted for use on stations that oper-
ate on high frequency. Waves OF hign
frequency will find a path 10 , env

readily. This means a reduction IN
the signal strength of the transmitter.

the probable number of active sta

of $50 more stations would bring the

Whether the licensing Of broadcast.

yet uncertain; some legislators want

It is probable that If authorized the
Department of Commerce would
undertake the widening of the broad
cast band by opening channels be-
tween 200 and 100 meters. About 149
more stations could be accommodated,
each with an exclusive channel. OF
course, all the newcomers could be
