TWO RADIO BOARD
NAMES LAID OVER
Action Refused on Caldwell
and BeII0WS-Tmee
Others Confirmed.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate interstate commerce
committee refused today to take any
action on the nominations Of -. II.
Caldwell Of New York and II. \. Bel.
lows Of Minnesota as members Of
the Radio Control Commission.
These nominations were referred to
the committee late last night 10y the
Senate after the appointments OF tho
other three members of the commits
sion had been approved.
Some Senator's sought tn obtain an
adverse report against Caldwell Rud
Bellows. but a maiolity insisted that
their nominations so over to the new
Senate without prejudice.
Recess Appointments Probable.
President Coolidge may make recess
appointments to fill the places if he
SO desires. There has been opposi-
ton TO the two appointees on the
ground that they were ''handpiclled'
by Secretary Hoover.
1t became a virtual certainty today
that a meeting of the commission for
the purpose of organization cannot be
held for q month or more, although
the new radio governing body can
function with three members.
Each commissioner will receive a
salary of $4,000 for the first year. and
will receive pay at the rate of $50 Il
day for each meeting OF the commls-
sion eafter the first year.
The first task Of the commission. IL
was assumed, would be to organize
when Admiral Billiard arrives in
Washington, and to map out q plan
OF operation. Sessions of the com
mission to straighten out the tangled
radio situation are expected to be held
almost continuously from the time OF
the initial organization meeting In
order that the immense task or as
signing ether channels and allothng
broadcasting time and licenses may
be completed within year.
Hoover Has No Plan.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
former GEAR" of the air, has declared
that he has prepared no plan Of OPP
Grafton for the commission, and that
it will proceed independently to work
out its own scheme of operation. Files
of the radio section of the Commerce
Department and all information bear
ing on radio administration VIII be
available to the new commission, how
ever.
The largest job before the commits
sion, it was said at the department
would be to so place radio broadcast
ing stations that the present inter
ference would be reduced. There are
at present 73J stations ION the air "
with only 50 available wave bands be
tween the broadCasting limits of 200
and 045 meters. y year ago there
were a few more than 500 stations
broadcasting. many of them sharing
time, and all that were on the air al
the same time separated either by bar
Fiers of distance as between the two
seacoasts or by at least 10 kilOcycles of
transmission frequency. In the mean
time more than 100 stations, acting
under the ruling of a Chicago Judge.
who declared the ether free, and Il
concurring opinion by the Attorney
General, have uSurped wave lengths

to what Secretary Hoover has termed

The Sixty-ninth Congress, which to-
day passes into history, has been
remarkable for its fighting propen'
stiles, particularly in the final session:
Its rows were by no means conhneu
to the Senate and the House, but 1t
ignored or antagoniZed President Cool
idge on many occasions.
But Notwithstanding the strife
which marked many of its sessions,
the Congress enacted important legis-
lation. To it's credit in the second
session now closing must he chalked
up the radio control bill, the branch
banking hill, the soldiers loan bill and
the prohibition reorganization bill. In
It's first session were put through the
tax reduction bill of 1926, the railroad
Ia Dor bill which had the approval OF
the workers and the railroad eNecu-
lives in great part and which aboi-
ished the Railroad Labor Board and
American adherence to the World
Court. The last has been nullified by
the failure OF foreign powers to accept
the Senate reservations to adherence.

Investigated Primary Expenditures.

The determination of the Senate to
inquire into alleged corruption and
excessive expenditures in senatorial
primaries last year led to the APP
pointment of a special committee OF
investigation. composed Of two reSu-
lar Republicans, one Progressive
Republican and two Democrats. The
committee elected Senator Jim Reed
of Missouri as chairman. 1t tore the
lid off the Republican primaries In
PENNSYLVANIA and Illinois and investi-
gated alleged irregularities and exces-
sive expenditures in oregon, Arizona.
Indiana and other States.
The result of the inquiries has been
to put in serious jeopardy the seat
ing of Senators-elect Williams s.
Ware of PENNSYLVANIA and Frank j..
Smith Of Illinois. both Republicans.
Col. Smith accepted appointment dur
ing the session now ending as Sen
ator from Illinois TO fill the vacancy
caused By the death of the late Sen
ator Mckinley. He came to Wash
ington this Winter with his Gre
dentials. After bitter fight in the
Senate they were referred TO the
committee on privileges and elections
by a vote of as TO 80. and Col. Smith
was not permitted to take the oath
of office

get the call as he has every
thing pitcher needs.
Moore. Yankees--As this contest Is
for the purpose of picking
those players who are con.
sidered the most valuable to
their teams, then show me
any pitcher who has done az
much for his team as Moore.
Cochrane, Mackmen, catcher Who
got off to a bad start, but
right now seems to be playing
better ball than any other
catcher. Good arm, good judg-
ment Of pitchers and splendid
batter.
Gehrig. Yankees. first baseman-

eral better fielders, but his
hitting more than overcomes
any fielding weakness.
Hornsby. Giants, second baseman--
Just as good as ever. Had a
bad year last year. but Frisch
couldn't beat him out then. so
why now?
Traynor, Pirates, third baseman-
Old Pie will surely be selected
as he doesn't seem to have
one worthy competitor this
year.
Lazzeri, Yankees, shortstop Don't
see how we can leave Tony
off the team. Has, In my
opinion, been more valuable
to New York this year than
even Gehrig. Had he not

/ second both then the Yankees
would not be where they are
today. Old Nap. Lajoie him.
