1t is estimated that a super-power
station, such as that of the Radio Cor
poration at Bound Brook, N. j., which
was designed for an output of fifty
kilowatts, has listening audience of
approximately five million people, and
when programs Of outstanding merit
are broadcast the audience frequently
total fifteen million. Add to this the
service offered to broadcast listeners
through the periodical linking of nu-
merous broadcasting stations by wire

BY carrying instruction to adults who left school
prematurely, radio is striving to give everyone in
the United States a high school education, de-

Colleges aiming to surpass that. Already

 Decided by Voters
 Every issue of the campaign has been decided by the voters of Pennsylvania. Every process of law has been met. Every require ment of the Constitution has been fulfilled. The Senate has the right to seek for fraud. It will find none. In the absence of that fraud, to bar one of Pennsyl- vania's Senators from taking his oath of office, and performing his constitutional duties, would be the worst blow at representative government since the legislative machinery was first set in mo- tion. l do not believe it will happen"
 Aside from the charges involy- cd in his primary campaign, Ware is under fire from his Democratic opponent in the general election, William B. Wilson, former Labor Secretary, who has contested the Senate seat on the ground of fraud in the general election. If Ware is denied the oath of office, that contest could not be pressed as the Senate would have declar- ed the seat vacant by it's vote refusing the oath to Ware.

last night.
AS the result of lengthy investi-
cation, Mr.. Grinnell declared, an ex.
posture impends Of a ring of stock ven
doris. whose operations have caused
Chicagoans and others to invest large
sums of money.
An official OF a Chicago bank has
been linked with a number of the

have distributed the shares, other
agents who have assisted in market
ing them on a commission basis and
dupes who have purchased them.
MANY of the patients and Office
personnel of the veterans hospital
have been defrauded by purchasing
$25 shares in the mythical Sir. Francis

''The operators have insisted that
all details must be shrouded in mystery
and that the whole estate must be
kept secret"
Mr.. Grinnell added "any Of these
