BUSY WEEK AHEAD
 FOR C0NGRESSMEN
Senate Tackline Farm Relief, House Tariff Revision

Washington. May 6.-P-Con- gress today entered one of the busiest periods of the special ses- sion.
 The senate approached vote on the debenture section of the farm relief bill. and later probably on the bill itself, while the house was ready to receive tomorrow the tariff revi- sion measure for which it has been waiting, thus bringing the two major subjects on the administration pro- gram before congress at the same time.
 The lewiston in the senate over the debenture proposal. which Presi- dent Hoover opposes is so close that a few shifts one way or the other. or the absence of one or two members from one group not balanced by simi- lar absences from the other, may decide the issue, or put it up to Vice President Curtis to break tie. The vote. expected Wednesday. is looked forward to by some observers as a test of administration strength in the senate.
 Introduction of the tariff bill to- morrow will place before the house membership and the public for the i first time the specific proposals for changes in the seven-year-ol old Ford ner- McCumber act as worked through tedious weeks of discussion and study by the republican ma jority of the ways and means com- mittee. After the public hearings.

only six hits made in the game and four of them went to lafayette.
 The first Dartmouth Cornell game brought a 10 to l triumph for the Green in the only game Dartmouth played last week. Another meeting between members of the quadrangle cun league, which has been absorbed by the still informal intercollegiate league, the Penn Columia game, was washed out Wednesday.
 The other rivalries of tradition have not yet started the 1929 sea- son unless the annual meetings of Holy Cross with various leading col- leges can be included in this list. The Crusaders took . surprising defeat from Princeton some time ago in the first of these but came back last week with what was perhaps the best game of the season. 1 to 0 triumph over Yale in which Frank Nekola gave but one hit
 League teams will play four games this week. two of which will involve the quadrangle cup. Climacteric contests, however, still are some weeks away on most schedules. Princeton will invade Baker Field on Wednesday to meet Columbia, and will return to the Jungle to entertain Cornell on Saturday in the second game of that series. Pennsylvania and Columbia will visit Hanover on Friday and Saturday, capping Dart mouths spring week athletic pro- gram.

 Rowing Events Run Of

New York. May | 1.-Two trian- gular regattas will grow this week. end where one was all that had been expected by intercollegiate rowing fans.
 The Childs cup regatta on Lake Carnegie with Columbia. Princeton and Pennsylvania as contestants. is to receive unexpected opposition from Harvard. Cornell and Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology who will battle it out on the Charles river. A dual meeting between Syra. cuse and Navy completes the pro- gram for Saturday.
 Columbia's Lions undoubtedly will reign overwhelming favorites to cap- ture the varsity and perhaps all other races on the Childs cup pro- gram at Princeton. In making a clean sweep in the Blackwell cup races at sDerby last Saturday. the Lions took the measure not only of Penn in four races but of Yale as we'll. Unless Rusty Callow can make some needed adjustments, Penn seems slated to trail both Columbia and Princeton on Lake Carnegie. especially in the varsity. The Penn first-string eight was some five lengths back of Columbia when the Lions set new course record to beat Yale on the Housatonic. Princeton. in its only start of the season. con- quered good Massachusetts Tech varsity by length and seems to have enough power to give Colum- bia fight of it.
 A high wind can be held respon- sible for making the Harvard Cor nell-M. l. T. regatta possible. Harv- ard was to meet M. I. T. last Satur- day but the wind forced a post pone- ment until this Saturday when Harv- ard already was booked to meet Cornell. Arrangements then were made to make the Cornell races three -cornered affairs with NJ. I. T. an added starter. The Harvard NJ. I. T. freshman and 150- pound races will be rowed earlier in the week.

COLLEGE TEAMS
 FACE bIG GAMES
Ranks of Laadas in Baseball Have Been Lelt Very Thin

New York. May 6 R-The season for the additionally important xames of the eastern college base ball season Is getting under way, and many of the teams have little more than victory over their rivals of tra- dition to look forward to. The mor- tality among the big colleges this spring has been surprisingly large, leaving the ranks of the leaders very thin. ..
 Only Lafayette. among the col leges which figure both among the eastern leaders and in the games of hoary tradition, is underfeated. The members of the old Big Three have several blots apiece. on their escutcheons while even the unat- tached leaders have faced defeat.
 Princeton has slumped far down on the list long before the series with Yale is due to start, losing two more games to comparatively unim- portant opponents last week. Yale also has gone down several times while Harvard has pair of defeats on its record. Dartmouth and Cor nell both have taken it on the chin more than once. although the Green remains among the. leaders, due principally to Hollstrom's pitching.
 Pennsylvania was in fair way to uphold the honor of the older col leges until Saturday when Yale end ed its winning streak at II games with a 1 to victory. The Ellis had been finally counted out when they were shut out by New York univer- rity and Holy Cross on successive days last week.
 Penn State and Syracuse have staged their annual pair of battles already without much honor to either. Forgetting several previous defeats they battled to one victory each Friday and Saturday. State talk ing the first game. to 5, and Syra- cuse the second, to 0.

After it's introduction. it will be re- ferred back to the committee as q whole. giving the democratic mem bers a chance to record their posi- tion through their participation in the formality of reporting the bill to the house.

 Senate Leaders Worried
 Senate leaders. already harassNl by the situation growing out of the export debenture proposal in the farm bill. are becoming concerned over the appearance on the legisla- tive horizon of other complications which threaten to prolOng the spe- cial session far beyond the limits contemplated.

possibilities Of airplane guidance which
the new invention opens up. The idea
is that with this rig, or one built on
this principle, carried By o plane, the
pilot could follow telegraph wire right
across the country, through night,
storm or fog. The airplane would carry
dial, on which a needle responsive
to the currents in the wire below. would
record any deviation from the path OF
the telegraph or telephone wire.
At that this is legitimate business for
radio, and 1t Illustrates, in the way one
thing leads to another. the steadily
widening importance Of this newly born
invention. Within the last six months
reports have come from Europe telling
of secret processes by which the guild
ance Of airplane by radio. with no pilot
in the plane. has been brought almost
to the point Of perfection. It IS mat
ter Of common knowledge that ships
can now be guided by voice on land.
It all raises q suggestion Of a new
kind of broadcasting in the perhaps
not so remote future. The broadceSter
will not be merely purveyor Of enter
tainment. His may be the voice which
will control the movements Of vast ag-
gregations OF ships, airplanes, trains
and machinery. Possibly the require
ments for the broadcaster's voice box
of the next century will be. not the
mellow or melliduous quality now
sought, but certain vibrant inapulsions
to which the great iron robots will pom
derously but unerringly respond.
Stranger things have happened.

thousands of listeners gave indication
that the radio audience was not unit

listeners the lectures were a means Of
furthering their education.
Through arrangements between Of

series of talks were put on the air the
week of october z, 1928. This
schedule called for 15-minute talks and
was an experiment to determine the

since october 10, series of weekly
talks, ranging from to Is in num-

popularity. Some of the topics might
have been classed by college students

nae strung from the front bumper
of the car, over the top to the rear
bumper, attached to a receiver
carried in a trunk at the rear.
Another pioneer who stuck to the
Job was William Heina, who con-
ceived the idea of mounting the
complete radio receiver behind
the dashboard, with the controls
within reach of the driver and
with the antenna concealed in the
top. so that the outward and in

that has been the reward he has
worked for, through hundreds of

mobiles, is an assurance that
automobile radio is now in a prac-
teal stage.

STATION OPERATORS
INQUIRY 0NLOOKERS
Broadcasters Anxious to Find
Out What Department Is
to Rule Radio.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Many Of the 600 program station
operators in the United States are dis
interested onlookers as the Senate be-
gins its inquiry into the proposed regu-
lation of radio by commission Of
communications.
The broadcasters say it does not
make much difference to them whether
the regulating authority is the present
radio commission or the communica-
lions board proposed by Senator
Couzens, but they are anxious for an
early and permanent settlement Of the
question whether radio is to be ruled
by commission or the Department Of
Commerce.
Broadcasting Sterilization Asked.
They demand that the "broadcasting
situation be stabilized" by the adoption
Of permanent policies Of administra-
ton and the issuance OF operating
licenses for longer periods.
II Congress decides that radio Is to
be supervised by a commission the
commissioners should be appointed for
longer terms, many broadcasterS be-
lieve. They say this would tend to
remove the present uncertainty Of
SCaUlOn OWT1eTS WIFI large investments
and would result in the adoption of
more definite policies by experienced
commissioners.
Equal ALLEGATION Provided.
Senator Couzens' bill provides for an
equal ALLEGATION of station licenses,
wave lengths and power among the five
zones. as required by the present law
and carried out in the reallocation last
November.
The National Association of Broad
casters is opposed to equal ALLEGATION
by zones as failing to meet the par
ticular needs for broadcasting which
arise in various parts Of the country.
They contend that a mathematical
division of stations among the States
is impractical.
Dill Proposal Unopposed.
The proposal of Senator Dill that
broadcasters be required to pay a
license fee to help defray the cost Of
radio administration is not opposed by
the association, providing station
licenses are given for periods Of not
less than year. t.
The CouZens bill says that no license
granted for the operation of a broad
casting station shall be for a longer
term than three years.
