 1 Washington. Sept. II P>--A pol, l icy definitely in favor of high pow i cred broadcasting in the interest Of 1 the listening public has been adopt ! cd by the federal radio commission which looks for q steady increase in the number of stations of high wattage.
 Commissioner Bellows said today after Q trip of inspection in the middle west that although this did not mean that the commission would grant greater powers to i broadcasters in general, inasmuch as many stations above 5000 watts, it was in the public interest that the expectations grow in number
 The commissioner said he had found, much to his surprise, an all most unanimous agreement among radio manufacturers and engineers that broadcasting conditions were satisfactory and steadily improving
 He added that the new sets now coming on the market were more efficient for reception on the band between 20 and 250 meters than former ones. due 10 better tuning equipment.
 Station WGY. the 100, ,O00-watt station at Schenectady. N. r., will in all probability ne given a new license the commissioner said, in renewal of it's 30-day permit expir- ing today.

HOTTEST WEATHER
 0F YEAR IN WEST
More Than Dozen Deaths in Extreme Heat Wave
500 SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED
Mercury Scars to 83 at Noon- Farmer, Alone, Welcomes Torrid Temperature as Remedy to Back ward Crops.

Chicago, Sept. If tP) - After smashing September heat records in the middle west two consecutive days, the mercury set out for new altitude records today with indica- tions that the hottest day Of the year might be recorded before sum- set.
 The extreme heat had resulted in more than a. dozen deaths today, had forced the closing of part of the schools in Chicago, sent thousands to the beaches and parks to seek temporary relief and left hundreds of thousands sweltering in tempera- lures that passed the go mark Mon day and have been mounting high CT each day since.
 About the only person welcom- ing the torrid wave was the farmer of the middle west who has been praying for corn weather.
 Wheat Crop Helped
 While the hot weather is helping corn, many farmers feared that the crop already is too far behind to reach maturity before frosts.
 Weather forecasters offered little hope of immediate relief from the heat wave that has spread like hot, stifling blanket over the en- tire middle section of the country. Readings of 10 to 20 degrees above normal are likely to continue nt least until Thursday night, it was when showers are expect cd, with possibly some moderation by Friday.
 In Chicago at noon the mercury had climbed to 93. All morning readings were above those of the same hours yesterday, and it ap- peared likely that yesterdays high mark of 95 would be passed.
 Upwards of 600 temporary school were ordered closed at noon because of the heat Beaches and parks were kept open last night 10 suffering thousands and were thronged early this morning.
 Four deaths had been added 10 the mounting toll of heat fatalities before noon. bringing the total for three days in Chicago 10 a dozen. with several deaths attributed 10 the heat In other middle western cities.

FEAR OLD GLORY CREW DIED IN OCEAN STORM
Only Faint Hope Is Held for Safety of Pliers
 and Editor

New York. Sept. 14.-Only the faint hope that small collapsible rubber boat with three daring air adventurers had survived the storm tossed Atlantic since last Wednesday today remained to searchers for the occupants c. the monoplane Old Glory after discovery of the wrecked hulk Of the giant craft 600 mifs off Newfoundland.
 With a detailed description Of the recovered wreckage. the searching steamer Kyle last night reported it will continue the search, come what may"
 The tenacious hope of the search ing craft was indicated in one line at the end of another message, i've still are searching for the boat"
 The Kyle indicated the steel fuse lage of Old Glory was shattered either by the force of it's fall or the blows of the waves. No mention was made of the main tank holding 900 gallons of gasoline, so this huge weight probably went to the bottom with the frame.
 "The ships undercarriage and left wheel are fairly complete" stated the despatch received by the New York Daily Mirror, owned by William Randolph Hearst. packer of the flight, from Douglas Muir, cor respondent aboard the Kyle. But the wings and supports are tangled mass of stays. giving evidence of boisterous weather in this vicinity which may give a clue to the fate Of the three brave men who accom- panied Old Glory on this ill fated endeavor."
 Both Muir and Captain Travner. in command of the Kyle, left no doubt in their messages that the vreckage found was that of Old Glory.
 Muir's despatch said in part. The engine and body of the plane evil dcntly had been torn from the wing, leaving no trace of the control cockpit except one lever and speak ing tube located near the fuel gauges. Fragments of canvas body casing are painted silver and blue"
 It was pointed out that the sud den cessation of the Old Glory's $ O z. calls early Wednesday indicat- "d that the craft had been forced
