RADIO BOARD HITS BACK AT CRITICS
1dls Why Some Stations Lose
 Their Licenses

Washington. Aug. ,:2 R'-The fed eral radio commission has singled out two comparatively unimportant broadcasting stations to hit back at critics who have charged that it is prejudiced against small transmit ters.
 In | statement announcing that the license of Station WCOT, Provi- dence. R. l.. had been terminated and that of Station kGDM. Stock ton, Cal, had been extended. the commission described these charges as totally unfounded." and defend ed it's order of May 25 which gave le2 stations an opportunity to justify their existence or else surrender their licenses. /
 The commission explained that many small stations were cited to justify their licenses because of a deluge of complaints of poor serv- ice and interference received from people living in their vicinity and also because of the negligent man. ner in which many of them were operated, from a mechanical view point.
 "As a matter of fact" the state ment said, "the commission has for 8 long time past been convinced that from an engineering point ci view the accommodation of these stations is not serious problem on the basis of their present number and, with a few exceptions in areas already overcrowded, they can con- tinue to operate without causing un' due interference if properly manag' ed by their ol orators. .tr
 "In many cases, the commission was influenced by the character. o' the licensee who seemed not to bt worthy of the trust implied in hi license. or by the uncertain servic. rendered vhich deprived his service area of its fight to a regular sched ule fulfilling it's local needs. In 1 word, the. action; of the commission did not proceed on the theory tha the community was not entitled ts local broadcasting service, but rath CT that the particular licensee wal unworthy of the privilege of ren derinE that service to the commun ity.
 The announcement as to thu Stockton and Providence stations il subject to the reallocation plan fo the nations radio facilities which i not in preparation.
 In the case of the discontinued Providence station, the commission opinion said that evidence showed the station was used by its owner Jacob Conn. as a means of direc advertising; for the promotion o his candidacy for mayor Of Prov idence; for expressing his views ol all private matters and as medium for attacks on his enemies.

 The chubby brown eyed young lady lay anxiously awake in her bed late Tuesday afternoon, growing more bitterly disappointed each houl that the governor didn't keep his usual appointment with her. She could not understand why a golfine date at Stockbridge. Mass, should keep him from his customary roml with her.
 Mrs. Warner admitted that she i. holding herself in readiness to do the bidding of the national committed during the next two months, to dc anything for her fathers campaign that she can.

cLDTIMER, FORMER BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER, IS NOW

It is doubtful if any are better acquainted with old time Alaskan ; than Paul Buckley, a pioneer Alas kan himself, but who of recent years now calls Seattle home. MT. Buckley arrived in Seward yesterday from the South and will remain here for 1t least week prior to leaving for the Interior.
 Mention the name of any of the oldtimers of Alaska and MT. Buckley knows them. His large acquaintance5 go back to the days of '98. Formerly q prominent citizen of the Westward MT. Buckley is now a vice-president ot the American Marine Finance Cor roration, comparatively new Seattle institution which is we'll financed and ofricered by capable and successful group of business men, headed by Walter L. Clark, vice president and cashier of the American Exchange Bank.
 E. R. Rice, also a vice-president Of tie corporation, stopped off at La touche, MT. Buckley said, but will join him here with the arrival of the steamer Alaska.
 While our company is engaged :u general finance business including .he purchase of commercial recei ' ables, real estate mortgages and c3. tracts, marine loans, auto loans, notes, acceptances, chattel finanC, in fact all forms of finances, we :.s our name would indicate, parti,I l9rly interested in marine and shi1 ping finance and ir assisting su .''. enterprises as are calculated to a!t ii the more rapid development of Y. , Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
 We are firmly convinced th4- Alaska in now entering period of development of a permanent and staple nature in which our company can play an important part to tha mutual advantage and profit of our selves and of Alaskan business men The tremendous natural resources ot this northern empire are attracting the attention of the entire nation, and if is up to the financial organizations o2 the Northwest to aid in the eS ploitations."
 MT. Buckley will probably ta'zf over the companies northern interest if the survey of the Territory seems to justify the establishment of per mqnent offices. Both he and MT. Rics are here Investigating conditions wit this in view.

NEW YORK, July
Of a motorist from a bomb attached
to the self starter Of his car was
a mystery today. Benjamin Kano-
WITT, a fruit dealer. was killed when
he tried to start the car.
The automobile was so wrecked
that the method Of attaching the
bomb could not be learned, but police
were certain it was a bombing be-
cause a piece Of gas pipe found near
the machine gave off a strong odor
of gun-powder.
Kanowitz was lured to his death by

porting to come from police, which
advised him he could not leave his
car in the street but must take il to
a garage. He climbed into the ma
chine and had evidently just pressed
the starter when the explosion oc-

Mr.. Hoover at Reno, New, or some
other point. depending upon the
route chosen. and escort him to San
Francisco. 1t is planned that Mr..
Hoover will respond to their greet
ing at Oakland. possibly making his
first public address since his nom
ination.
Refreshed by a quiet weekend,
Mr.. Hoover turned again today to
his speech accepting the nomination,
which is 0 be delivered when he is
officially appraised Of his selection
by the convention. The notification
is planned for early in August at
Mr.. Hoover's home in Palo Alto.
II is understood Mr.. Hoover has
completed drafting Of sections Of the
address dealing with the agricultural
situation and that his next subject is
prohibition. There is a belief, too,
that he intends dealing unequivocal-
~ with this issue. and that IN addi-
tion to supporting the platform
plank pledging rigid enforcement, he
will warmly endorse the fundamental
principles of prohibition.
In this connection, it is recalled
that as secretary Of commerce, Mr..
Hoover two years ago declared pro-
hibition a great coRtributary factor
in American industrial efficiency.
