Says Real Action Can
Be Expected.

Governor Harry G. Leslie soon
will announce a new armory board,

jutant-G General William G. Everson

lowing a senate investigation.

The generals reference to the new
army board "functioning as a
board was interpreted to be a re-
Election on the flgurehead part

armory construction program.
Under the administration of for
mel Governor Ed Jackson, armorieS
were built throughout the state, all
financed the Peoples State bank
and built by the banks construction
company, the Ostrom Realty and
Construction Company.

demned this proceeding and Gov
ernor Leslie assured them that he
would carry the investigation into
construction costs.
The bill asking that this be done
was given an emergency clause"
for immediate action. The 1929
statutes have become law, but the
Governor has made no report on his
findings.

RIGID CONTROL
or RADIO FIRMS
BY u. S. URGED
Watson Says Senate viii
Oppose Canada Treaty
on Air Rights.

bW NiitN f'ftN
WASHINGTON, May 1Q-Rigid
governmental regulation of radio
communication is necessary, the
senate interstate commerce commits
sion was told today by Louis G.
Caldwell, former general counsel OF
the radio commission.
Without rigid government super
vision we will have no radio COM
municatiOn and chaos will rule the
air" Caldwell said
The committee is holding hearings
on the Couzens bill to- establish a
communications commission with
supervision over all radio, telephone
and telegraph companies.
Caldwell said he is in favor of
combining the regulation of these
allied industries under a single COM
mission eventually but advised
against doing it until the radio in
duStry is better organized.
Caldwell was asked by Senator
James A. Watson, about the terms
Of a treaty now being negotiated
between the United States and Can
ada to distribute radio channels. He
said he understood the ratio would
be about three channels for this
country for every one for Canada.
Watson asked if that was fair in
view of the fact Canada has a
population of only about 100000
people while the United States has
about 120,0OO,00O.
Caldwell said he would rather not
answer that question unless the
state department approves of his
doing So Watson predicted such
an arrangement would meet with
strenuous opposition" from the
senate.
