PREDATORY BIRDS
FEASTING ON MICE
migratory Rodents Now Infesting
California Fields Prey for Hawks,
Buzzards and Owls.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, Calf. January
21.-1ts nice weather for ducks in
the lowlands of Kern County near
here, but it's more interesting for
owls. hawks, buzzards and other
predatory birds because of the in
festation of mice.
Visited by rain yesterday, the area
became a fashionable place for birds
to light Scores of feathered enemies
of mice took advantage of the rodent
migration and toasted. The fact
that some of their prey was dead,
poisoned by grain soaked in lethal
solution, mattered not at all, and did
not seem to have any effect on the
birds.
Although no invitation has been is
sued to Chicago's noted pigeon-fed
hawk, foes of mice IN all forms are
being welcomed. The battle against
the little crea lures is beginning to
show on their numbers and the
greatest job before the extermina-
tors now is to wipe out their original
home in the lower areas.

President and Mrs. Coolidge are to

Mrs. Coolidge is said to be the most
interested listener In the Coolidge
family, and since the President is
heard over the air probably more
than any other notable parsonage,
the societys officials decided that both

The first official act OF the United

panied by laughter of men around a
microphone and the station signed off

regarding its identity. Mr.. Edwards
offered TO send a test car to help

HOUSE CONFEREES
REVERSE ON RADIO
Secrecy DimS Action of Men,
berS-Compromise Bill Was
Expected This Week.

A turn.about attitude on the part
Of the House radio conferees. just
when a tentative agreement on the
matter of broadcast control had been
reached. has brought about the latest
delay in radio legislation
The newest development in the stu
alton at the Capitol is that the House
members of the congressional com.
mittee now want the original Senate
compromise proposal, namely, that
commission be appointed to sit for
year, or until the problem of existing
conditions can be cleared up: after
which ordinary regulatory Jurisdiction
shall devolve upon the Department of
Commerce, with the board acting
. only on disputed matters brought be
fore 1t.
In other words, the conferees have
arrived at the point from which they
started early in the present session
of Congress. Moreover. il is quite
likely that the latter control idea will
prevail in the compromise bill which
the conference committeeman say
they still hope will be reported out
this week.
Reason Is Secret
The reason for the sudden change
of attitude among the House members
has not been explained. Representa-
tive White, who has been writing the
radio bill with Senator Dill, says he
does not feel constrained to disclose
what has taken place in the committee
or between committee members.
Up to Wednesday it was assumed
the tentative agreement on the control
feature was acceptable to the whole
committee, only details and its word
ing remaining to be worked out by
Senator Dill and Mr.. White. Its pro-
visions were that a judicial com
mission have full and complete dis
cretionary power. with the Depart
ment of Commerce administering it's
decisions.
Settle Only Disputes.
The control agency now wanted by
the House members-for reasons of
their OWNS simply the Senate's
original compromise idea, and the
Senate members cannot very grace
fully go back on their own plan. Nor
are they likely to.
The plan is this, simply: com
mission shall be created to settle the
present congested situation respecting
power, wave lengths and broadcast
hours as we'll as possibly the elimina-
zion of certain stations. After a wear
or until its work is done, il shall sit
periodically to hear and decide only
disputed questions brought before it.
In no way will 1t be an appellate
board; it will settle disputes only
Routine, licensing and ALLEGATIONS of
power, wave lengths and time will
thereafter be left to the Department
of Commerce, and IL its decisions are
not carried to the board within 80
days they shall stand

The 10 planes arrived yesterday
from Buffalo after bucking 75-mile-
an-hour gale, the worst encountered
on the trip. A speed of approximately
20 miles an hour was maintained dur
ing most of the journey. because
of the strong headwinds, according to
Maj. P. n. Lamphier, in charge of
the expedition.

shown the necessity of taking along
on such flights a transport ship
