Probe of Leagues Ac-
tivitieS in America.

papers)
WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-Mem-
bership in the Fascist League of
North America is incompatible with
the duties and responsibilities of
American citizenship, Secretary of
Labor Davis held today.
He also revealed that he has or
dered an investigation of Fascist ac-
tivitieS in the United States. in
Guiding the blood oath" alleged to
be taken to Mussolini and Fascist
Italy by members of the league.
Should the inquiry support the
conclusion he already has reached
from a preliminary study of the oath
known to be taken by applicants, he
Will recommend legislation barring
prospective members from this coun-
try and. if possible, revoking the
citizenship Of members already here.
Citizenship Withheld
Davis voiced these views in COM
menting on the action of j. r.
Thomas, Baltimore naturalization
examiner, who withheld approval of
citizenship applications from twenty
three Italians until he had in
vestigated the nature of the So
called blood OATH"
The department will uphold the
Baltimore official should he decide
to recommend permanent disquali-
fication of Fascist members. 1t then
will be UP to the naturalization
court to decide whether to accent
the departments recommendations
Though Secretary Davis has not
received a copy of the oath cited by
the Baltimore Examiner, he has
seen what purports to be the docu-
ment in question. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Il swear to put into execution,
without discussing them, the orders
OF the Duce, and to serve with all
my power and, if necessary, with
my blood, the cause of the Fascista
revolution"
Oath Bars Applicant"
eff they take this OATH" COM
mented Davis, they have no right
to citizenship. Except for the
change Of the words, Third Inter-
rationale to the Fascista Revolu-
tion,' 1t is the same pledge taken
by Communists, and they are barred
by law"
Meanwhile. Davis declared that
the preliminary oath admittedly
taken by Fascist alone was suffici-
ent to bar them from citizenship.
In his opinion, it indicates that they
place their allegiance to Mussolini
and Fascist Italy before that to
Uncle Sam.

THRONES JAM
VENICE FOR
PLANE RACES
Italian and British Pilots
Leading Contenders for
Schneider Cup.
BY THOMAS b. MORGAN
limited Press STAFF Correspondent

VENICE, Sept. 24-Tens of thou
sands of spectators will gather on
the shores of the historic Lido to
witness the 1927 Schneider cup race
tomorrow.
The British seaplanes have been
prepared to beat all the records that
italian and American engineers
were able to achieve. They are
beautiful craft and are said to be
the last word in. streamlining. Their
pilots will sit costly in the fuselage,
seemingly hugging and caressing
the entire craft.
Their floats are of duralumin and
ere said to be the highest Of any put
into craft of this description.
The fuselage is constructed OF
layers of mahogany as thin as
visiting card, wrapped together like
a cover of cigar and fastened by
thousands of tiny rivets and then
bound by vanished silk.
Speed 300 Miles an Hour
Unofficial statements say that the
British craft are capable Of speed
Of 300 miles an hour.
Trials for the italian Mystery
Ship" entries occurred at Varese on
the Lake of Como, and the italian
aces, Major di Bernardo and Capt.
Arturo Ferrari, veterans Of last
years race, were in charge.
Capt. Guascone Guasconi and
Capt. Federico Guazzetti are entered
to pilot the other Italian craft.
SO great has been the secrecy at
tending the italian trials that no
one has an idea Of their perform
ances.
Race In Triangle
The course in today's race forms a
triangle on the base parallel to the
shore of IS kilometers, then with a
short side Of II kilometers and the
other side Of II kilometers.
1t will require seven laps to finish
the race. Each competition held
since the Inauguration of the race in
1918 has registered a considerable
increase in speed except in 1920 and
1921.
The first race held at Monaco
produced a speed Of only AT miles
per hour, and was won by France.
Since then until today England
and the United States has each won
it twice, while Italy won it three
times Today's race is the tenth,
as no award was made in 1919.

Michigan Commissioner Address

By United Press
FRENCH LICK, Ind, Sept. a.
The entire question of public util-
tiles should be removed from the
political football field" Robert H.
Dunn, member of the Michigan
Public Utilities Commission, declared
in an address here today before The
annual convention of the Great
Lakes division, National Electric
Light Association.
"a public utility should be as well
conducted from general business
standpoint as any business in the
particular community in which it
operates" Dunn said.
This method will gain the con-
fidence Of the business men and
residents of the city and at the same
time make for betterment Of the
utility" he pointed out.
"The spending of a few more dol
lars in this direction will yield the
biggest net return that a utility can
secure. A person familiar with prob
lens and conditions which are pre-
sented can make complaints which
would be distinct asset to the
utility"

RADIO SQUEEZE
BOOSTING PRICE
OF HOME SETS
One Company Holds Patents
on Which Independents
Must Pay Royalty.
BY LEO r. SACK

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Radio
listeners are facing the prospect OF
more expensive receiving sets be-
cause of royalties independent man
ufacturers must pay the Radio Cor
poration of America for the privil-
eye of using patents controlled by
the Radio Corporation, according to
Oswald F. Shuette, executive secre-
tary OF the Radio Protective Associa-
ton.
Shuette, former Washington
newspaper correspondent, is organ
izing independent manufacturers for
a struggle with the larger company
which he says will be fight to
the finish"
He plans to inform Congress Of
the Radio Corporations control Of
basic receiving set features and also
to direct it to the attention of the
Federal Trade Commission which
has heretofore instituted an inves-
tigation of the Radio Corporation
of America.
Now Licensing Competitors a
This corporation controls theN
superheterodyne and regenerative
patents. 1t is now licensing COM
petitors to use these features in
order to build up their business I'M
der the claim that it is encouraging
Legitimate competition"
Terms of the licensing agreement
with radio manufacturers provide
that the licensee agrees to pay
royalty of 71s per cent of his in
voice price of radio sets, including
cabinets, speakers and accessories
with a minimum guarantee of $780,
600 year for four and one-half
years.
This, according to Schuette, sis
for the privilege only Of making
tuned radio frequency receivers"
Another clause of the contract re-
quires that manufacturers purchase
sufficient tubes from the Radio Cor
poration. Without tubes radio sets
are of no value.
Radio Corporation Intrenched
ut needs no argument to anyone
acquainted with the radio trade to
prove that this clause is intended to
assure to the Radio Corporation
complete monopoly q the tube bust
ness" Schuette declares.
In other words, he claims for the
independent manufacturers their
engineering must be developed
around r. c. A. tube characteristics
and their production around R. C.
A. tube deliveries.
