DRY AGENTS TO
 BE UNIFORMED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Plans to finger print all prohibition law violatofs and to place prohibition agents doing road work in uni forms so they can be identified has been announced by Prohibition Commissioner Dr. James Doran
 Hereafter. prohibition yiolator' will face stringent system oi measurements and Identification tests. tie purpose being to make old offenders easy to watch
 Commissioner Doran declared that, in addition to finger printing and measuring the prohibition law violators, the records of all of lenders would be submitted to the Department of Justice to asce. . tain fl they are wanted for any other law violations.
 The uniforming of the dry agents doing road work was one of the chief accomplishments of the con. ference of administrators here. The action was taken because heretofore the dry agents could Lot be identified easily and many motorists. when stopped, were un- able to tell at glance that tho officers actually were dry agents. To overcome this difficulty the conference decided lhat any ogert doing read work should wear a distinctive blue cap, on which will ts a large shield, with a simila! shield on the coat

for the necessary landing rights"
The Federal Radio Commission this
week approved the general pl%n of or
ganizing up to eight competitive trans
oceanic radio systems to be operated
separately by rival news-gathering in
terestS.
The stipulation was distinct, however,
that these several corporations, yet to
be formed, shall in all respects be pub
lie utility combines. Each must guar
antee to serve az part of the American
press upon demand, and each Is to be
answerable in damages for failure to
fulfill the obligations imposed upon
commercial public utility companies in
the communication business.
The COMMISSIONS Endorsement Of the
plan Of the American publishers COM
mittee opens the way for constructing
great wireless towers along the Atlantic
and Pacific Seaboards for the exchange
of vastly increased volume of news
between the United States and foreign
&C. tries. It does not, however, insure
the American news interests that they
will obtain rights to set up their own
stations abroad for transmitting and
receiving purposes.
Most other countries of the world

ly, they guard against the granting of
foreign radio concessions. As Poland
and Russia have done, some will invite
American engineers to construct and
operate their radio plants, but most of
them assiduously oppose the encroach-
nent of foreign private enterprises and
generally deny the so-called landing"
concessions.
This means that the American press
must arrange to have the foreign gov
ernment stations receive and transmit
its word traffic. Certainly this will be
true of any effort to set up direct COM
munications with such countries as
Great Britain, France and Germany.
It will undoubtedly be true in the case
Of most Latin American countries.
Emissaries of the press will now be
sent abroad to arrange for foreign
handling of the tremendously increased
burden of foreign dispatches, unabbre-
Waited and uncoded, which may be ex-
pected from American correspondents
abroad by reason Of the newer and more
cheaply operated facility for transmits
sion and reception now available to the
American press.
In asking the commission for the
right to apportion its 20 high-frequency
channels among several competing news
organizations the American publishers
committee not only relieved itself of the

but 1t also promised that there would
be no duplication Of facilities In han
ding the same news.
In other words. two reports Of the
same event will differ radically as to
salient features. The American public
will be the beneficiary by obtaining diff
ferent versions from different writer's, as
in the domestic news services.
T.-e next step to be taken by the
American publishers committee will be
to press its applications for enough
additional short waves to set up q do
mestic syc+em for carrying news by
radio. It remains to be seen which Of
the news-gathering and distributing
agencies will form the corporate units
of the transoceanic radio project and
of the domestic project, II channels are
also obtained for the latter.
