HAITIAN BILL ADDED.
TO SENATE AGENDA.
Resolution Passed by House
Slated for Discussion
After Christmas.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Porter resolution to carry out
President Hoover'S wish for a study of
conditions in Haiti arrived at the Sem
ate side of the Capitol today and was
made the newest addition to the list of
subjects slated by that chamber for
action after Christmas.
House approval of the measure has
now placed it squarely before the SEN
ate, which body usually interests itself
deeply in all matters pertaining to for
eign relations, and although Senators so
far have had but little to say on the
subject, it is expected considerable dis
cussion will develop.
This proved the case in the House,
where. it was called. up with indications
pointing to speedy faction without ex-
tended debate. Members, however, en-
gagged in a verbal row, in which Repre-
sentative Moore, Democrat, Virginia,
accused Representative Fish, Repub-
lican, New York, with having injected
the racial question into the issue. The
New Yorker had proposed that a COL
ored man be one member of the COM
mission.
Before the debate subsided Repre-
sentative Oscar De Priest, colored Re-
publican, Illinois, took the floor and
made his first regular speech in the
House. He supported the Presidents
position and advocated that one men,
ber of the commission be of his race.
Before he took his seat, De Priest said
he wished the members of the minority
were as Solicitous about the BLACK
people of America" as they we're about
those of Haiti.
Il congratulate the gentlemen for
starting in light in Haiti and conceding
the common people the right of self
determination and hope it will spreaL
to every State in America and that we
all will enjoy the same rights and
privileges" he said.
Just when the Senate will reach the
Haitian proposition is uncertain. On
the after-Christmas list with the meas
ure is the long contested tariff bill and
the consideration of the rights of Sena-
tors Joseph r. Grundy of PENNSYLVANIA
and Patrick j. Sullivan of Wyoming,
Republicans, to hold their seats. The
Senate also still has to straighten out
its committee membership situation.

rue from three sources-receiver tax,
radio advertising, and import duties on
radio equipment.
In the state there are only $4,000 re-
ceiver licenses, which produce about
$4,000 yearly, which pays but part of
the upkeep of the two stations, one in
Dublin and the other in Cork. From
advertisements is derived nearly $4,000.
Most of the income is obtained from
the import duty on sets and parts. Last
year this amounted to more than $780,
600, giving surplus of $4,000.

had earned the position Of vice presi-
dent and secretary. and was put in
complete charge of the national adver-
Using and production. Devoting much
time to the subject of tobacco, he be-
came an expert in that field, and was
soon sent all over in search of the
best tobacco to be found throughout
the world.
Success seemed certain and this
young man of 81 bade fair to make a
spectacular fortune when he gave up
his very remunerative and absolutely
assured position to buy a controlling
interest in a broadcasting concern that,
up to that time, had been losing money.
It seems a far cry from tobacco to
radio, but 1t will not be difficult to trace
back the working of PaleyS mind on
this subject. In the first place. the
quality of enterprise which has always
been one of his outstanding character
istics caused his interest to wane IN a
concern that was OBVIOUSLY successful
and whose development was a matter
of routine. In the second place, as adj
vertising head of the cigar company,
he had interested himself in every angle
of this field, and had decided that radio
broadcaSting as an advertising medium
held untold possibilities. In addition
Mr.. Paley saw field where his efforts
could be used to develop a real public
service. His vision in that respect is
we'll exemplifled by some Of Columbia's
