Ohicer James Sullivan was on
Allen street at 1:40 this morning
and met two men. one of whom,
Austin Beschuk. had blood stains

to the cause of this condition and
Beschuk told him that he and
Kowalski were.. walking on Dudley

south on the street, hailed the
driver for ride. In reply, accord
ing to Beschuk, the driver struck
them with the club. knocking Ko-

was carrying rain coat and a re-
volver. Officer Sullivan summoned
Officer Maurice Flynn and they
found two men. neither Of whom
however. had a revolver. One OF

Denver. Colo, June ~ RA
American radio interests plan this
fall to take the initiative in propos-
ing the establishment OF trans-At-

service. through which radio fans in
both America and Europe may be
able to tune in on the pick Of two
continents. l. was announced today.
Speaking before the international
advertising association meeting,
Merlin Hall Aylesworth. president Of
the National Broadcastipg Company,
said . plan to permit Americans to
hear European stars broadcast
from London and European audi
ences to receive the offerings of lead

director general Of the British
Broadcasting Corporation. The
suggestion. he said. will be made at
n conferepc, in New York, when
the head of the British broadcasting
system attends the ceremonies incl
dent to the opening of the new Ma
tfonal Broadcasting Company build
ing.
Tremendous technical and en-.
gineering problems as well as Diff

ed" Mr.. Aylesworth said. eve feel

No freer forum Of expression ex-
lists than radio boadcasting. Mr..
Aylesworth said.
'Broadcasting." he continued,
has made effective the phrase free
as the air." The only danger 10
freedom is unbridled license. Pub
lie interest, in my opinion, is the
only compass necessary to direct
the proper course. 1t Is unless to
worry about the freedom of speech
from a station that has no listen
ers."
He cited radio as an unimportant
factor In ultimately bringing music
into the classroom.

Washington, June n Up - The

day.
Suggestions coming from Geneva

Another Concession
Another American concession
discussed would be slight increase
In the proposed total tonnage Of
