 "One feels overwhelmed by the magnitude of everything he told the editors. "One is overwhelmed by the size of your towns by the height of your skyscrapers, by the never ceas- ing traffic in your streets and by the number of your newspapers. and rc- porters."
 Because of the yarience of views, the press, he said, is safety valve, adding that he believes journalism is dedicated to enlightenment and the welfare of humanity.
 The royal visitor told reporters he and the princess had "an awGuliy fine time" with President and Mrs. Coolidge; that he regards the White House as "architecturaIly splsD1id p thinks Thomas A. Edison is "won- derful," and finds jazz rather anus ing" although he prefers otber mu- sic.

Brookhart, who rose four years ago from a country lawyers office 10 the upper house of congress as the champion of the farmer, have put before Iowa voters, from the same radio station. their final appeals for the republican sen- atorial nomination, which both seek at Mondays primary.
 Speaking from radio station woe, Brookhart terminated strenuous campaign which began the day he returned from Washington after be- Ing unseated by Dan F. Steck, his democratic opponent in 1924.
 Cummins' address was his first as well as his last, and it was put on the air by remote control from the capital. where. the senator said. he has been hard at work at the post Of duty. which he seeks to fill for another six years.
 The problem of farm relief brought the two into diametric con- flict, although both avowed their eagerness to see the farmer helped by congress.
 Cummins, proclaiming that he was doing everything" in his power to get agricultural legislation enact ed, expressed confidence that con- gress will pass beneficial enactments for the farmer at this session, while Brookhart declared congressional leaders are ready 10 drop farm leg islation if Cummins wins Monday.
 The senator defended the trans portation act of 1920. which he sponsored in the senate, from at tacks which Brookhart has Ievelled against it throughout tho campaign and before. He called an "unblush- ing falsehood" the statement attrib- uted by him to Brookhart that the Cummins-Esch law raised freight rates.

States Attorney Robert F. Grove while proposals were afoot for an in- dependent investigation of Me- Swiggin's murder. the new jury also was sought by Grove.
 Politics Starts Inquiry
 The new inquiry is an upshot of charges filed by Judge Daniel P. Trude, unsuccessful candidate for the republican county judgeship nomination, who asked 8 recount Of the vote and accompanied his plea with broad allegations of malfeas- ance by his opponents.
 Trude's opponent, Joseph ?. Say age, was an assistant to the state s attorney.
 The grand jury which reported yesterday declared McSwiggin was ''an innocent bystander" when he was slain in Cicero by machine gun fire which also cost the lives of two companions. one known to police as beer runner.
 The sealed lips of gangsters, said the jury, prevented the solution of McSwiggin's murder and kept 1t from getting at the root of the gang evil.
 Pardon Mill" Assured
 Asserting that evidence estah- lished the existence of a pardon mill jed by Major M. A. Messlein, the jurors found crime conditions great ly aggravated by the prevalent i'm pression that bribes could win free dom for convicts, and criticized ad- ministration of pardon and parole laws. The discharge of Will CoIvin as chairman of the state parole board and Of Chauncey II. Jenkins as director of the state department of welfare also was urged upon Gov arnor Small.

 Threat to Walk Out Monday
 Made by Journeymeu.
 Forty-seven Of the 54 building contractors doing business here were represented last night at meeting at which the demand of union carpenters for an increase from SS to s9 a day was unani- mously rejected.
 The contractors action is a def to carpenters who have threatened to walk out next Monday morning unless granted the higher wage.
 A poll Of building jobs now go- ing on in the city disclosed but one paying tho higher schedule, which was supposed to have been effec- tive last Tuesday.
 A committee of the carpenters union is scheduled to meet this noon 10 act on a request made by q contractors committee Thursday night that more time be allowed 10 consider the demand. The builders expected an immediate answer, but when they met last night their committee informed them no an- swer had been given.
 Expressions Of sentiment passed at last nights meeting indicated the employers are prepared to fight 10 the last ditch to prevent the new schedule Of wages from becoming effective, and many will proceed with operations with non- union men if the carpenters carry out their threat, they said.
 Announcement of the builders decision to fight the increase was accompanied today by a declara- ton that the carpenters have pre- scented no logical reason for asking the raise al this time; that living costs have not increased. but in fact have decreased; and that the higher wage would inhict a hard- ship on prospective home builders since it would raise the cost of a frame house by approximately 12 1-2 per cent.
