CAPT. HILL LEAVING
RADIO COMMISSION
Army Signal Corps Recalls
Acting Chief Engineer,
Effective June 19.

The personnel situation on the Fed
eral Radio Commission manages to
keep on about an even keel. Justas the
commission is about to acquire one OF
it's two long-awaited commissioners,
Brig. Gen. Charles NICK. Saltzman, 1t
is going TO lose its acting chief engi-
neer, Capt. Guy Hill.
Capt. Hill, who has been acting as
chief engineer since the resignation OF
DR.. J. H. Dellinger, on April /, has
been recalled by the Army Signal Corps,
effective June 10. The commission
now is searching about for his sue
cesSor, and for other qualified engineers
to fill out the more or less rnakeshift
engineering division.
Confirmation by the Senate Of Gen.
saltzman's appointment as commits
sioner for the Middle Western zone is
expected shortly. The Senate Inter-

state Commerce committee acted IA
vorably on his nomination after a brief
hearing. There Is no known Oppost-
ton to the general in the Senate.
President Hoover, according to word
from the White House, has not yet
definitely decided upon the appoint
nent of q successor to o. III. Caldwell,
as eastern zone commissioner. 1t Is
known, however, that the names he is
seriously considering are those OF
william d. L. Starbuck, patent attorney
and engineer of New York, and Capt.
David Todd, former naval communca-
lions ofacer. Both are SAID 10 De
DEMOCRATS, and thus eligible for the
appointment.
George Akerson, secretary to the
President, declared there is little likeli-
hood of an appointment for this va
cancy until late this week. President
Hoover, he says, is taking his time"
about selecting the man for the job,
but also Is mindful of the fact that,
without its full membership the COM
missions progress is impeded.
In the meantime the commission is
marking time. Routine matters, of
course, must be cleared, but on ques-
tions of policy and on the ALLEGATION of
wave lengths it is awaiting the induc-
ton into Office of the men designed by
President Hoover to fill its member
ship. Even after the commission has
full membership, it must hold up action
on important matters until such time
as the new commissioners become con-
versant with the principles and poll
cies underlying radio administration.
Mr.. Starbuck, who seems to be in the
forefront for the first zone appoint-
ment, is q native of New York City.

ment remarked that there were no
load-line regulations In the United
States.
He reviewed at length all known cir
cunstances Of the disaster which cost
lis lives. He said the inquiry would
be directed toward three main points
the cause of the incursion Of water, the
cause Of the vessel taking a list and
the cause Of the heavy loss Of life. He
paid tribute to what he called exem-
plary conduct by both passengers and
crew.
The investigation attracted numbers
OF prominent men connected with the
shipping industry, as well as a large
array Of counsel representing the va
rious interested parties.

able in the Golfers Of the Bank of
France s400,OOo,oOO, mostly in sterling
and gold, for payment for the surplus
war stocks purchased from the United
States and due next August. but ac-
cording to information from sources
close to officials, Premier Raymond
Poincare has virtually decided not to
meet the payments.
Another installment under the I'M
ratified Mellon Berenger debt agree
ment, as paid since March, 1927, Is to
be made instead. No pressure has been
brought by the United States to en-
force payment. while on the other
hand there appears to have been some
rather discouraging advice from certain
financial quarters in London.

Those conversant with the financial
situation of France point out that the
withdrawal of 100000, 900 from the
"woolen sock" of the Bank of France
would hardly ripple the surface Of Its
gold reserve. but the international ex-
change market might be unfavOrably
affected by the sudden dumping upon 1t
OF such a large amount of sterling. It
was said the reaction might be felt
more keenly in London than In Paris.
Financial experts here feel the oper-
alton might corroborate the German
prophecy of what happens unless large
transfers are provided with protection
clause.
The French viewpoint is that the war
stocks liability of $400,000,000 would in
clude the total amount due under the
annuities OF the Mellon Berenger accord.
Preparations Issue Intervenes.
The French always have insisted that
ratification of this agreement hinges
upon final settlements of reparations
with Germany. The second Dawes
committee negotiating to achieve this
apparently has failed after 10 weeks of
discussion and the French appear to
be in no hurry to dispense 10000 000, 900
paper francs across the Atlantic until
they see something coming from across
the Rhine.
The general feeling here was that
should the experts Unexpectedly reach
agreement tomorrow or later the Amer
lean war stocks bill would be paid
either by separate settlement or
through ratification of the Mellon
Berenger accord.

An Old Saying.

The rpudent people often say. 'Let
we'll enough alone; you travel from the
beaten way and break collarbone: We
stick to things we know are good, that
have the test of time withstood; We
balk at change and knock on wood, and
have no cause to moan" No doubt
we'd miss lot of grief, barked shins
and broken Stats If we would take that
saying brief and paste it In our hats;
but we've ambitions weird and strange;
we journey from our Moated Grange to
seek variety and change, our belfries
full of bats. And So in whiZzing, flying
planes we go to distant parts; We take
long trips in railway trains instead of
ox-orawn carts: our busy motors chug
AID choo where horses once our buggies
drew; the customs that our fathers
knew would break our modern hearts.
If we'd let well enough alone, as urged
by cautious wight, no man would have
his monograph or radio by night;
we'd read our stirring tales Of vamps
by smoking, greasy coal oil lamps. or
candles would ulumine our camps, and
not electric light. We'd walk half
way across the map for water, by the
pail, instead of turning on tap to get
our Adams ale; the Injuries that breed
content no prudent fellow would Invent,
who kept that motto in his tent, and
let its sense prevail. 'Let well enough
alone" will do for men of sordid aim,
who lack the energy to view the road
to wealth and fame; but all about us
men abound whose joyous battle cries
resound, the men who make the wheels
go round, who hump and play the game.

Probably no story, rhymed though It is,
American readers than this of the Mighty
Casey" and his base ball bat.
It looked extremely rocky for the
Mudville nine that day-the score stooo
4 to with but an inning left to play
And so, when Cooney died at first
and Burrows did the same, pallol
wreathed the features of the patrons OF
the game.
A Struggling few got up to go, leaving
there the rest, with that hope that
springs eternal within the human
breast. For they thought If only Casey
could get whack at that, they'd put
up even money with Casey at the bat.
But Flynn preceded Casey, and like
wise so did Blake, and the former was
a pudding and the latter was a fake;
so on that stricken multitude DEATH
like silence sat, for there seemed but
little chance Of Casey's getting to the
bat.
But Flynn let drive a single to the
wonderment of all, and the much de-
spised Blakey tore the cover OF the ball.
And when the dust had lifted and they
saw what had occurred, there was
Blakey safe on second and Flynn a
hugging third.
Then from the gladdened multitude
went up a joyous yell. It bounded from
the n1ountain-top and ratified in the
dell; 1t struck upon the hillside, and re-
bounded on the flat-for Casey, mighty
Casey, was advancing to the bat
There was ease in Caseys manner as
he stepped into his place. There was
pride in CaSey's bearing and a smile on
Casey's face. And when, responding to
the cheers, he lightly dotted his hat, no
stranger in the crowd could doubt twas
Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he
rubbed his hands with dirt; 5000
tongues ,applauded as he wiped them on
his shirt. And while the writhing
pitcher ground the ball into his hip
defiance cleaned from Casey's eye-a
sheer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere
came hurting through the air. and
Casey stood a-Wvatching 1t in naughty
grandeur there; close by the sturdy
batsman the ball unheeded sped

"Strike one" the umpire said.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
CASEY AT THE BAT.
BY JOSEPH QUINLAN MURPHY.

And it's likely they'd have done 1t had
not Casey raised his hand. With a
smile of Christian charity great Casey's
visage shone. He stilled the rising
tumult, and he babe the game go on;
he signaled to the pitcher and again
the spheroid few, but Casey Stih ig-
nored 1t and the umpire said:
Strike twol"
Fraud" yelled the maddened thou
sands, and the echo answered,
Fraud"
But one scornful look from Casey and
the audience was awed; they saw his
face grow stern and cold; they saw his
muscles strain, and they knew that
Casey would not let the ball so by
again.
The sneer Is gone from Casey's lips;
his teeth are clenched with hate. He
pounds with cruel violence his bat upon
his plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball,
and low he lets it &c, and now the air
is shattered by the force Of Casey's
blow.
Oh! Somewhere in this favored land
the sun is shining bright; the band is
playing somewhere, and somewhere
hearts are light; and somewhere men
are laughing, and somewhere children
shout
But there is no Joy in Mudville-
mighty Casey has struck out!
