Radio Control Legislation's Passage
Depends on Wearing Down Opposition

Nevada, who said today that the ex-
clusion of the provisions in conference
permitting each State to have it's own
wave length convinced him that pri-
yate monopoly was the purpose sought
While under tho surface fight over
the legislation continues, Senators are
deluged with kilograms for and against
favorable action. Even the chief of
the Senate pages has not escaped the
outpour. One message from Genesco,
H., addressed to him said:
Please knock pending radio bill"
Another from Savanna, ILL.,, said:
XIII conference report radio bill"
The chief page has pocketed the
messages as they arrived and still is
sticking to his job of bossing the

A bill has been introduced i'm the
State Legislature to augment The
sizzling branding iron used to mark
rowing cattle with registered tat

The brands would be placed in the

in the Rocky Mountain region that
identification of the animals is
necessary. One fox pelt often
