RIGHTS Of STATES
ENTER RADIO ROW
Amendment Would Place Al.
location on Basis of
Population.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Nation-old question Of State
rights has interviewer itself into one OF
the newest problems confronting Con-
qress-the control of radio broadcasting
BY a coincidence. this issue today held
q place on the House legislative program
second to the "lame duck" constltu-
tional amendment, a subject tnat also
sent the attention of members back over
the pages of history to discern the IN
tent of the Nations founders.
The radio controversy hinges on an
amendment to allocate broadcastlng
wave lengths, stations and power 10
States on the basis Of population. ~ Is
for one year the life OF the Feoefai
Radio Commission. ,
Inasmuch as the commissions lie
expires in just one week, little time re-
mains tor deliberation.
The amendment. sponsored by repre-
sentative Davis, Tennessee, recently was
approved by 12-to-5 vote by the House
merchant marine committee. on which
he is the ranking Democratic member.
The proposal If approved, Is expected
to give more radio stations 10 the
Southern States and diminish the num-.
Der now existing in Northern and
Western areas.
Supporters of the amendment, many
of whom have refreshed their minds on
the Nations early history during the
consideration the the constitutional
amendment to abolish the short sessions
of Congress, have dwelt at length upon
what they contend was the intent OF
the Constitutions trainers to protect
the rights of all the States, especially
the smaller.
In addition to the Davis proposal, the
House also must pass upon another
amendment approved by its committee
which would place a three-month limit
on the validity of broadcasting licenses
and a six-month limit upon all other
radio licenses. The Senate proposed six
months and year, respectively. This
amendment. however has not precipi-
tated a fight like that on the former.

new PROPELLER
TO DRIVE PLANE
Hollow BIaded Equipment
Tested by Navy.

81 Science Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Hollow-
bladed propellers made of a special
steel soon may drive navy airplanes
through the air. Air screws of the
new construction and design now
are being tested.
The navy department recently
let a contract for six experimental
propeller blades of entirely new
construction. They are of hollow
chrome vanadium steel and are said
to be the first of hollow construc-
ton to stand the great strains i'm
posed by a high speed airplane.
Efforts to develop such a blade
have been made for the last ten
years, but all met with failure, be-
cause no satisfactory method of
Welding the two sides of the pro-
peller together could be found. BY
using a new process of electric
Welding, the new propeller was
fabricated to be as strong as those
of aluminium alloy and other ma
terials now in general use by the
navy.
Greatest advantage of the new
propeller is that it can be produced
at two-thirds of the cost of present
equipment. Preliminary tests with
4twice the normal load, recently COM
pleted on the first Of the propellers,
Indicate that the new blade will
meet all requirements, and the navy
plans to advertise for bids for
large number of the hollow pro-
pellers within few months.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
IONDON--The fact that Queen
Mary's movements in London have not
been SO freely chronicled of late has
aroused some comment and curiosity
In society circles,
It Is learned from semi -ofiicial
so.rces that the Queen, who Is very
fond of making private and unofficial
visits. has found that much of the
pleasure she derived from these has
been spoiled because people will crowd
around her, often to an embarrassing
extent.
She has therefore given orders that
except In the case of big official func-

RED CROSS CLOSES
FLOOD AID TASK
Largest Disaster Relief lob
Finished One Year After
Starting.

Completing the largest disaster relief
task It has faced since its organization,
the American Red Cross has brought to
close its Mississippi Valley flood relief
work one year after President Coolidge
issued his proclamation calling upon the
country to contribute to the cause.
Although in some OF the countries
hardest hit by the food Red Cross
workers will continue their activities for
some time. the main relief and recon-
struction program has been finished.
and practically all of the relief fund OF
SIT 900 900 raised by the organization
has been spent.
Task Lasts One Year.
The completion of this gigantic task
comes on the first anniversary OF the
day the great flood reached the proper
tions of national disaster. II was on
April % of last year that President
Coolidge placed the resources OF the
National Government at the disposal OF
the Red Cross and issued his proclama-
tion.

another town from beneath 10 feet OF
mud and rebuilding thousands of de-
stroyed homes are some OF the accom-
pliShmentS of the relief organization
during the IL months period. Column

ported by Red Cross workers from its
old site on the river banks to bluffs a
half mile away to save it from complete
destruction by the corrosive action OF
the river after the waters receded. An
other unique problem facing the work
ers was the necessity for excavating the
town of Melville, La, from beneath mud
and silt
The Red Cross gave reconstruction
aid to more than 550000 persons IN its
