The civil service regulation advo-

White said.
White commenting on Mayor L.

he believed the mayor had a mis-

WORLDS FAIR
OF RADIO. Will
OPEN SEPT. II
Excellent Programs Will
Be Broadcast During
Weeks Exposition.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Sept 4.-The Radio
worlds Fair will be held here Sept
II to % and there will be contin-
uous broadcasting, afternoon and
evening, from the Crystal Studio in
Madison Square Garden.
Edgar H. Felix, New York City
broadcast consultant and author,
who directed broadcasting last
year, again will have the RESPONSE
bility of arranging programs to
please both a visible audience and
an invisible audience
Several stations will participate IL
the broadcasts. They include AWBC,
new key station of the Columbia
] broadcasting system; WEAF, Ma
tional broadcasting company; WIZ.
National brcadcastiug company;
WGBS, Gimbel Bros, WMCA, Nc
Alpin Hotel; WOR, L. Bamberger &,
Co., Newark, and key station Of
Columbia broadcastins system. ana
WRNY, Radio News Magazine.
Artists who provide the entertain
ment will appear in costume, and
to observe their microphone tech
nique through the crystal walls of
the studio, will be much like at
tending a production on the speak
ing stage. Many of the regular fea-
lures which have endeared them
selves to the radio public will be
broadcast from the crystal studio
instead of the studio from. which
they ordinarily are put on the air.
BY virtue of this plan and the
special features which station di-
rectors and Felix are planning, mil
lions of the country's radio listeners
will be provided with the opportu-
nifty of attending the radio worlds
fair by proxy.
The crystal studio will be enlarged
greatly, occupying nearly twice as
much space as in any previous year.
Interior dimensions are 40X27 feet,
providing ample space to accommo-
date large acts with orchestras of
f1fty-f1ve to sixty pieces.
Control rooms and other neces-
sary space also will be provided in
addition to the studio. An artists
lobby will be constructed where the
stars will greet the visiting fans.
With the exception of an hour
between 5 and o'clock, broadcast
ing will be continuous from 2 p. m.
until II p. m.

except as a mater of administra-
tive policy. The system is designed
to help executives in the discharge
of their legal duties and would not
interfere with their discharging in
efficient employees. In many cases
the discharge Of incompetent per-
sons would be urged.
White said the proposed regula-
tons probably will provide an ap-
peal to the civil service commission
in cases where discharged employees
feel they have been unjustly treated
but that will be in rare cases."
Slack has indicated he will start
work on the civil service question
at the September cabinet meeting
when councilmen will be present.
The national civil service require
ments permit an appeal to the COM
mission for hearing Of grievances
and the local rules probably will
conform, he said.

hand, Mexico with population of 100000, bought
only $109,0OO,OOO worth of our goods.
The reason is simple. The Canadian standard Of
living is far higher than the Mexican standard which
conditions have held down to minimum bordering on
want. This is reason No. l. Reason No. is that our
relations with Canada cordial and serene, whereas
relations with Mexico long have been disturbed

In 1927 Canada increased her purchases from us

Mexico decreased hers by $24OOOOOO 1t during
that year that Mexican-Amercan relations were at
their worst at times bordering on war.
We now are selling about as much to Canada as to

a Canadian basis Mexicans would have bought some
$125OOOOOOO worth of products instead of mere

With all Latin America on Canadian basis, our
exports to that region would foot up to more than
