NEW YORK. Jan. 24-Speel and bulk may be rivals in the passenger steamship lanes of h. Atlantic ocean between New York and Liverpool within the next few years.
 Gigantic ocean liners, 1000 feet long and with 60,000 tonnage probably will carry the bulk of passengers and freight Smaller but swifter ships are planned to carry fewer passengers, but much of the express freight and mail. They would make the voyage in four days flat and save 20 hours or more in mail deliveries, as well as passenger sailing and arrival, by liberating and receiving air planes when 500 miles, or days sailing, from any port.
 The 1,O00-footers appear to be nearing reality with reliable ro- ports that both the White Star and Cunard lines have placed or ders for their construction. Tho American Brown-Boveri Electric Corporation hopes to re-establi3h the American flag on the hiSh

TOKTO.--In Japan the law requires
that beggars' children, as well as the
more prosperous, must receive certain
amount of education. The Toxic
municipality has discovered that there
are more than 100 mendicant youths in
the capital who are playing hockey"
from school, and has done everything
possible to induce these children TO
attend the primary grades, but with
little success.
Most of the parents of these young
sters use their children for begging on
the streets and are not anxious to have
them in school. The begRar youths
average about 10 cents a day, in addi-
tion to the food they are able to beg

cease to function as members Of the

confirmed commissioner E. o. Sykes of
Mississippi, sitting on the radio lid.
Meanwhile Representative White of
Maine has introduced in the House a
measure designed to extend the life Of
the radio commission for at least an
other year But time goes on: the COM
mission is not disposed to take punitive
action toward cutting down the number
of broadcasterS until the Senate turns

situation is not being improved The
plain fact is that the Senate has

minority. disresarding the unspoken
views Of the silent majority. who sec

mission definite move toward clearing
up interference.
The commission has already post
poned until March a program of sta
ton elimination by tho process of with
holding licenses to broadcast. Unless
the Senate confirms the nominations
soon. or legislation extending the life
of the commission is enacted, the entire
question of radio control will be thrown
into the hands of the radio division of
the Commerce Department. which is to
take over the duties of the commission
on March Is, under the present law.
The commission was established to
clear up the broadcasting Situation but
Its hands have been tied by the many
restrictions thrown around it. The
commissioners should be confirmed and
