KANSAS CITY RADIO
STATION QUITS AIR
Action Taken Under Protest as
Federal Commission Refuses
Fl to Renew License.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. May Radio Sta
ton WHB of Kansas City, one of the
pioneer broadcasting stations of the
Middle West, has quit the air under
protest, following receipt of word from
the Federal Radio Commission that its
license had not been renewed.
Emory j. Sweeney, owner of an au-
tomobile school that has operated the
station, ordered broadcasting stopped
on being unoff1cially advised that per-
sons using the air without license
would be liable to prosecution. He an
nounced he was attempting to obtain
hearing before the commission on the
order closing the station.
The Radio Commission refused to re-
new the WHB license on the ground
that 1t had been transferred without
authorization. Sweeney declared the
school company still had title to the
station despite foreclosure action on
q mortgage.
Advices from Washington said that
Stations KMBC and KIDS, Independ-
ence, Mo-, which heretofore have shared
time with WHB, probably would be al
lowed full time on the 950-kilocycle
channel.

DIFFERENTIAL
FIGHT OPPOSED
Blanton Urges Valley Give
Carriers Chance to Ad-
just Freight Rates

The opinion that any action pre-
cipitated by the Lower Rio Grande
at present to eliminate the freight
d~ifferential for Valley territory,
would prove abOrtive and might i'm
pede adjustment of rates on Valley
products was voiced Saturday by j.
r. Blanton, traffic manager for the
Brownsville Chamber Of Commerce.
1T is possible that if suit is filed
against our present rates that the
carriers will not continue adjusting
these rates as they are at present.
Blanton said in discussing the diff
ferential situation. THE differen-
tial suit could not be adjusted for
two or three years, thereby possibly
delaying any adjustments in rates.
Gets Excellent Service
Carriers serving the Valley are
giving excellent service and are en-
titled to reasonable rates and a
slightly higher rate than they get
from Corpus Christi, which terri
tory has no differential.
1T is understood there will soon
be filed suit against the present
South Texas ~differential, this suit
to include all Texas differential
territory which extends over all of
West Texas. I Go not believe it a
good move, especially at this time
when our present rates, almost all
Of which are new, having been
changed last July, are being adjust
ed by the carriers and inequalities
eliminated. We have, as a whole,
great reductions on our fruits and
vegetables to most destinations.
Though there are some increases,
they are being adjusted just as fast
as the carriers car do SO. Our old
vegetable rates were out of line to
some destinations and in the gen
eral readjustment of rates by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
there were bound to be some in
creaSeS to these destinations"
Discusses Refrigeration
The Brownsville traffic manager
also advised against any effort to
secure refrigeration ~reparations
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, have, on their own motion, in
| stituted an investigation of refrig-
Grafton charges and practices in the
West" he said. Hearings will
likely begin in November. They
have completed the investigation in
the Southeast, after two years work
and have reduced refrigeration
charges about IL per cent; but did
not grant reparation on past ship
mentS.
1T is understood that some South
Texas shippers have filed for rep
aration in event the commission
finds our refrigeration charges toe
high and that others are preparing
TO file.
Il do not believe r%eparations
should be requested. In the first
place, it is very doubtful if the COM
mission would grant it; and, second
the Valley shippers would benefit
very little, as most of their ship
nents are sold FOB the Valley, and
any reparation would go to the
buyer on the other end. The car
rierS have many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars invested in the VAL
ley for the benefit of refrigeration
service for fruits and vegetables.
The carriers, no doubt, would find
a way to make up for any repara-
ton they may be obliged to pay"

THANKS CHAMBER FOR
PART IN

The letter in part follows:
THE handsome trophies present.
ed by the chamber of commerce

and handicap events were highly
appreciated.
Begun in a modest way in 1927,
the people and firms of Browns
Vile have each year responded
generously in financing the tourna-
ment. It's ucceSS demonstrates
that Brownsville's slogan ITO make
the Valley a Winter Playground"
is something far more than a by
