Mr.. E. U. Berdahl is secretary Of
the Wholesalers Section of the Min

chandising experience in South Da-
kota and later was made secretary of
the South Dakota Retail Merchants
association. Later he was on the
budget commission for the state gov
eminent of South Dakota and in this
capacity he served for two years.
Before going to Minneapolis, Mr..

sisting retailers in their individual
problems.

The Montana Merchants Institute
made his initial appearance at an
opportune time. Retailing in Montana
is entering upon a new phase of de-
velpoment. The recent entrance in
to Montana Of new systems of mer-
chandising such as the chain store
and the mail order branch has been
an important factor in bringing
about changed conditions. The good
roads program in Montana has al
most revolutionized the trading CEN
tiers. In an effort to meet the new
conditions wholesalers have develop
ed retail services, buying organiza-
tions have sprung up, and retailers
alliances have been formed. While
all these services are developing, it
is only by individual study aided by
the experience Of others that THE
merchant can solve his problem. The
1929 Merchants Institute is serious
effort to assist in this task.

NORTHERN AIR ROUTE is SAFER

The tragic wreck of the Transcon-
tinental Air Transport plane, City of
San Francisco, and its seven passen-
gers should focus attention on the SUI
perlority of the northern route.
The southern route is over vast
area of uninhabited desert and noun
tains Reporting the spectacular
search for the missing aircraft, the
Associated Press says, Fifty thou
sand square miles of wilderness was
the scene of the most unusual and
spectacular hunt the wild west has
ever seen. Indian runners and scouts,
tribesmen from the Zuni, Apache, Ma
vajo and Hopi reservations afoot and
ahorse; prospectors and motorists, all
were trekking into Arizona and west
ern New Mexico"
In contrast, the northern route is
over a generally we'll inhabited re-
gion. North Dakota and eastern
Montana are we'll covered by farming
communities. There is only a rela-
livery small area over the Rocky
mountains that is uninhabited and
even there are a number of large
mining camps. Leaving the Montana
line, the panhandle of northern Idaho
and the state of Washington are al
most continuously dotted with towns
and cities.
The northern route has the lower
passes and lower plateaus. Manner
and Walker, returning by the north
ern route in their thrilling long dis
lance refueling flight, flew at a maxi
mum altitude of only 1000 feet, and
that for short period, as against
a flying altitude of 10000 feet over
a broad area of the southern route.
The northern route is easier and |
safer.

Guilty will no doubt slow up operations
somewhat but from all indications the
present we'll should be fine producer
of both oil and gas.
At the present time more activity
in building natural gas pipe lines is
going on than in building of oil lines.
This is peculiar to oil and gas regions
all over the United States as it has
been proven that with welded pipe
lines and booster pumping stations
the gas can be piped any place where
there is market for the product, and
the marketing of natural gas is just
now in its infancy compared to what
will be accomplished in the next few
years.

1t Is unofIicially estimated-for there
have been no actual surveys--that less
than 100 of the 900 or more broad
casting stations in the United States
spend UP to 100000 annually for up
keep, which includes programs and per-
sonnel. Double the probable aggregate,
or $100,000,0 600, is spent by the leading
stations, and generous allowance is
made for the many smaller stations.
In this broadcasting estimate of about
5000, 100000 it would be fair to include
the upkeep of the great chain systems,
which probably spend around $15,000.-
600 a year altogether. The only actual
figures available here are those cited by
NJ H. AyleSworth, president Of the
National Broadcasting Co., in his recent
broadcast account of his 1928 steward
ship of the largest of the network
organizations. Mr.. Aylesworth said the
N. B. C. programs last year cost $5,000,-
900 for talent and 100000 for tele-
phone wires, besides the payroll OF a
staff of 900.
Radio communications income pales
by comparison. The Radio Corporation
of America in it's annual report showed
a gross of around $5,000,000 from its
communications services, by far the
country'S largest All the other wireless
systems together would not approach
this figure, relatively small as it Is.
The foregoing estimates omit entirely
sales of radio apparatus to builders OF
new stations, who are relatively few.

RADIO INDUSTRY
SETS S75Q,0]0,o)D
Broadcasting Represents
Second Largest Capital
Turnover in the Business.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

World radio may be a billion-dollar
industry or greater, but American radio
has some distance to go to achieve that
record. Although the United States is
far the largest user of radio in prac-
tically all its phases, the best estimates
that can be adduced from data avail
able place the annual turnover of the
whole American industry at around
$3.50 900 900.
American radio derives the bulk of
its income from the production and
sale Of radio sets, tubes and equipment.
The retail turnover of the year just
ended was somewhat in excess of
| $4,000, 900, according to the radio
division of the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association.
This represents virtually all the pro-
duction and distribution of home radio
equipment, and out of this figure a
pay roll of something over 100000 per-
sons is met.
The estimate Is based on an analysis
! by the ''Nema" of radio retail statistics
compiled quarterly by the Department
of Commerce. The figure of 100000
persons in the factory and sales end OF
radio is an estimate derived from a
Department of Commerce statement
that about $4,000 persons are en-
ployed in all branches Of radio in this
country.
Broadcasting represents the second
largest capital turnover in the industry

SLAIN GIRLS CLOTHES
THOUGHT DEATH CLUE
Salt Lake City Police Hunt Gar
ments of Attack Victim, Killed
New Year Eve.
BY the Associated Press.

Ny the Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY. January 2-The
hat, shoes and galoshes worn by June
Nelson, IL, who was kidnapped and slain
New Year eve. were the object of an
extensive search here today as a possi-
BILE link to the identity of the murderer,
who attacked the girl before strangling
her to death. Scores of police and dep
uties continued the hunt for the killer.
Those articles were missing when the
body of the schoolgirl was found yester-
Day, partly submerged in shallow canal
on the outskirts of the city, and a
painstaking search for them in the
vicinity was unavailing.
A pair of child's gloves found In q
stolen automobile parked near bridge
crossing the canal could not be identi-
fed by Mrs Charles H. Nelson as those
of her daughter, despite the fact that
it was believed June's kidnaper used
the car
Four suspects, including an ex-con-
Wet who had served terms for attacking
girls in this vicinity, were grilled at
police headquarters yesterday, but all
were released when officers stated their
conviction that the men knew nothing
of the crime.
