Will BROADCAST
FIGHT FROM
WIZ

without comparing the impor-
lance OF the two events--the return
Of the Marine Band 20 the WRC
program at o'clock this evening
and the broadcast OF the McLarnin-
Mandell fight from Madison Square
Garden at = o'clock by Phillips
Carlin and Graham McNamee from
WIZ, appear to be the special loud
speaker features for this evening.
The National Broadcasting Conn
pany experts are a Bit hazy about
the extent OF the distribution Of the
fight description. In addition TO
the stations to be found listed in our
program sections, the chances are
that KDKA and WBAL will also
broadcast the event as they are
regular parts of the chain that Ia
doing the stunt. We'd advise try
ing 20 tune these because they are
ca sler TO get from Washington than
the other stations listed. -
To many music lovers the an
nouncement that the Imperial Welsh
singers are 20 be heard from the
Canadian stations CNRM, CNRO,
WNRO. wNRQ and CNRT at S;d5
this evening is an event Of Inn
portance.
SINGING WELSHMAN'S
FAVORITE INDOOR SPORT
Singing is not only the favorite
indoor sport of Wales, but its chief
outdoor pastime also. 1t is almost
a literal fact that what baseball is

generations. Towns and counties
have their singing societies, sqnae
IL them with long histories, and
hold regular contests. Many OF the
most beautiful of the so.caIled Eng
lish ballads are really OF Welsh
origin and some OF our most gifted
singers In concert and opera have
been Welsh.
Otherwise the Thursday evening
program is as usual. The Dodge,
Hoover, Pepco and Halsey Stuart
programs come from WRC; at the
usual hours. The National string
Quartet will be heard at $3.50 lol-
lowed by Slumber Music.
In the WMAI3 exercises there will
be a concert by the United states
Army Band at 7a5 that should be
worth hearing At o'clock Herbert
Morgan Of the United States Civil
Service Commission will talk about
the Americanization of the irlnli-
grant from the same station.
A convention of the Tall Cedars
of Lebanon is in progress in At

evening the Tall Cedars Band IT

PwPG. The regular WIZ outbursts
will include the usual o. Henry
story at Z O'Clock, the Ampico hour

RECORD MAKING

Wifi

Fair and caImer, but neither
too fair or too calm. was radio
reception last evening. The at
niOsphere was still bit thic.S
and stations were difficult to tune.
There was also quite bit OF
noise here and there. Code and
interference between breakfasts
were notably less than usual.
however.
The busiest broadcasting station
using the ether last evening was
WIFE. with its continuous distri-
button for five hours of the dedica'
ton program from the new Acacia
Building in Washington. Radio list
eners rarely hear a single program
OF such length and the reception OF
| 1t. so far as we are able to learn.
was excellent where it could be
tuned. While the officials of the
Acacia organization are receiving
congratulations set forth at length
in the news columns for their busi-
ness acumen and success, the man
who devised the program OF last
nights exercises should come In for
some acclaim, in that 1t was q
smooth running affair from start to
finish, with enmt"h variety to keep
listeners interested. Likewise the
| broadcaster gave a fine exhibition
OF steady, even distribution OF the
program.
In the regular Wednesday evening
output the novelty Of the evening
was the singing of the girls vested
choir OF Douglas M. T.. Church
through WRC during the Kilt Hour
at 8 o'clock. The group of fresh
young voices accomplished many
vocal difficulties in a most pleasing
manner.
SAME ACTORS
SPOIL. ILLUSION
The American Magazine broadcast,
also WRC product, again provided
spotty performance and directed
attention To the fact that use of the
same actors in several different
sketches OF such a broadcast rather
destroys the illusion sought to be
created When one recognizes the
same voices as a detective sergeant,
a successful business man at a couT1-
try club and as part of the group
carrying on the continuity of the
show-one loses a bit of the dramatic
values intended to be emphasized.
The other programs were as of
usual. Charles Magnante, accor-
dionist, was star of the toothpaste
endeavor and Genia Zielinska, so
prano, made a rather important hit
in the Sodero version of Bellini's
grand opera la Sonambula, -
which was little more than an OPP
portunity for Nine. Zielinska to
make her hit.

of these are not even noticed by the

there are SO many of them.
The system Of providing the press
with advance copies Of important
speeches has advantages for the
press-including the editorial writ
ers. Perhaps it also has an advan-
tage for the candidates: but not al
ways Somehow. among newspaper
men, there is not the same respect
for a speech that comes through the
mail as there Is for one that comes
over one of the telegraph wires. The
mailed speeches appear cut and
dried compared with the speeches
that sputter over the wire: the lat
ter look hot to the telegraph editors
and being human they are more
likely TO send them through the
mill.

SENATOR NORRIS

Those who have been watching
the career and writings OF Senator
Norris of Nebraska are not surprised
to find him coming out into the open
for Governor Smith. Although
nominally a Republican,. Senator
Norris has had independence and
courage. He has been an irregular. a
man preferring to be on the fence
when his party went counter to the
wishes of the. Progressives. He has
been on the fence oftener than on
the reservation. The Republicans.
however, hoped to retain his nominal
support in this campaign, at least to
the extent of keeping him quiet
Four years ago he remained neutral
in the presidential contest. even re-
fusing to indorse Senator La Toilette,
leader of the Progressives
Before finally boiling to the Demo-
cratic side Senator Norris repudiated
the Republican platform and endors-
ed Smiths stand on farm relief and
water power.
The Republicans have had the ad-
vantage In winning newspaper sup
port. but the Democrats have WON
over some powerful political leaders
Senator Norris is one; Senator
Blaine of Wisconsin another; Sena-
tor La Toilette the younger still an
other.
-Four years ago Nebraska, a
normally Republican state. gave
Davis and La Toilette combined 25,-
600 more votes than Coolidge re-
ceived. The action of Norris in
Nebraska and Blaine and La Fol-
lette in Wisconsin makes these two
important western states extremely
doubtful.

IMPROVING DIRT ROADS

When Connecticut highways are
mentioned one instinctively thinks
of the improved main highways.
Few pause to reflect that a majori-
ty of the states roads still consist
of unimproved roads. which usually
are carefully avoided by the auto
mobile cruising fraternity.
There is no logical reason why
dirt roads cannot be improved even
if not paved with permanent mate
rial. In order to avoid congestion.
many autosist would use them if as
surod of fairly decent travelling.
The state invariably allows Its
dirt roads to descend into such dis
reputable repair that to avoid them
is the object of virtually all drivers.
Some of these dirt roads. like the
Cathode road. once were considered
important arteries of travel: and
like sthe cathode road. they are al
lowed to descend into the depths OF
disrepair.
1t takes comparatively little out
lay and a minimum of effort to kecr
Il dirt or gravel road in fair repair
But this seems to be below the
horizon of the state highway de
pdrtmcnt. Numberlcss dirt or grave.
roads have been authorized to be re-
paired. but without no appropria
tons in sight. Mcanw hilc the year,
PASS arl the roads are allowed tt

that meanwhile the road should be-
kept in repair.

SPEECHES IN ADVANCE

Whenever Mr.. Hoover makes a
speech the advance copy. usually
printed in pamphlet form. arrives
at the Herald office a day or two
before ii is TO be given. In similar
fashion it goes to every other news
paper office. 1t enables the editors
TO read it carefully and write their
comments before the address is
given.
The same efficiency was shown
with the speech of Mr.. Hughes tho
other day. except that it arrived
mimeographed instead of printed.

ever. do not arrive in this fashion.

THE CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT

The corrupt practices act amounts
to even less than the 18th Amend
ment. Here is a federal statute
which ostensibly endeavors to regu-
late the expenditures of candidates.
No doubt it does. But more money
is spent in behalf OF the candidates
than they need to worry about.
Friends" of the party and friends
OF the candidates see to 1t that
necessary" expenses are paid; and
whose business is it If the Amalga-
mated Association for Purity in
Politics edges into the campaign
with a war chest bigger than the
combined resources of the national
committees devoted to any one
state? Nobodys.

ways the Corrupt Practices Act is
turned into junk: it would take sim
liar space to describe how prohibit

other things to write about.

SMITH IN BOSTON

A tangible service was done the
country by Al Smith In Boston when
he laid bare the motives behind the
cry of socialism" which had been
hurled at him by Herbert Hoover.
The reading of the socialist roll"
which included such names as the
late Theodore Roosevelt. Charles E.
Hughea Nathan Miller. Owen D.
Young, Vice President Dawes, ex-
Governor Lewden. and Charles Cur
tbs (the latter 50 per cent social
ist'D, was Z neat touch in current
political campaigning; including the
senator's and representatives who
had voted for Muscle Shoals and the
farm relief bill in the socialist cate
CORY was even heater. Almost over
night the millions of Smith voters
have something new to laugh about:
they are taking such unholy JOY in
being termed alleged socialists that
ones sense OF humor is vastly tickied.
As Smith pointedly stated, the
cry of state socialism" is the special
last minute squawk Of the special in
teresta Having nothing else with
which to scare conservative minds
and needing q boyle man for a
specific function in the campaign.
they have trotted forth the old re-
liable standby. 1t is surprising that
Mr.. Hoover ever fell for the sugges-
ton to use this wholesale designa-
ton.
The reception accorded the Demo-
cratic candidate In New England
probably will give. the Hoover folk
something to think about, if not to
worry about.

sTOECkEL'S QUEER IDEA

Charles G.. Morris, Democratic
candidate for governor, is putting in
some trenchant blows for his state
ticket. His camraign has been one
of careful attention to state issues.
Every speech he has made so far
has been devoted almost exclusively
to state affairs. 1t is rather signifi-
cant that he finds so much in the
states affairs to keep him busy
Governor Trumbull, on the other
hand, mostly talks about Herbert
Hoover. We think the Morris plan
is better. A state candidate should
not devote too much of his time to
an attempt to fly along with the ma
tional kite during a national and
state election.
The other day Candidate Morris
called attention to an amazing plan
credited to Robbins b. Stocked,
commissioner of motor vehicles.
This plan would make owners of
autom ohiles more than three years
old pay higher taxes than owners OF
new automobiles.
Such plan would be class legis-
lation of the most oppressive sort.
1t would be a hardship to the work.
ing man. 1t would add to the bur-
den of citizens who cannot afford to
buy new cars whenever they would
like. As a matter of fact, the plan.
il made into law, would probably be
found unconstitutional.

BUSINESS WITH RUSSIA

American goods valued at more
than $64.ooo,o00 were exported to
Soviet Russia last year. The sta
tisticians tell Us this total 10 more
than twice what We exported to
Russia In 1913.
The General Electric Company
has just concluded contract with
the Soviet vernment. 1t means
money for the company and ad-
vancement for the Soviets.
But because the Soviet govern
ment continues to decline to make
compensation for confiscated bonds

the American administration. 1t Is
said. will he to continue AZ 1t is-a
failure to recognize. We are inclined
to ask the New York Times and
other organs of non-recognition as
to what difference It will make.
And it might be worth asking what
difference there Is between the
Soviet action. termed confiscation.
and the failure of other European
nations to meet their lust war obli-
cations in full. The Russians no
doubt would like American recogni-
ton, but by this time they may have
learned to do without it. There Ii
