In addition, the interference OF

The antenna presents problem
In construction. Being situated on
the east coast, VITO naturally is
trying to divert most of its power
westward. To do this, it is planned
to construct a certain type OF an
tenna that will send stronger waves
westward.
There will be two and possibly
three 200-foot towers supporting the
antenna. These will be painted
black and orange, with white stripes
separating each color. This co!oring
is approved by the U. S. navy as a
guide to aviators. AS a night guide,
the towers will be lighted.
All programs to be presented by
VITO on the completion of its new
transmitting plant will originate in
its studios in this city, and will then
be amplified and sent over special
telephone wires to the transmission
plant to be put on the air.
Two pairs of balanced condensers.
running from the studios to the
mountain site, will be used. These
will transmit frequencies upward to
at least 10000 cycles. This range
will broadcast the shrill notes of a
flute as truly as it will the ordinary
notes. it il said.
Although the station is rapidly
nearing completion. 1t is thought
that the construction OF the antenna
will hold up things SO that the new
plant will not be in operation until
late summer or early fall.

SPLIT IN sight
ON farm RELIEF
Continued from First Page)

NContlnued from FIRST rage
lem in the agricultural industry. but
also those problems that may arise
in the future.
This is resisted in some congress
sional quarters on several grounds
One II that the board given such
power might encroach upon the
functions of other agencies of the
government, such as the interstate
commerce commission and the farm
loan board.
Too Much Power
Another is that this grant of
power might prove dangerous and
is too great to be placed in the
hands OF a board which is without
direct responsibility to the people,
as would be the case of men ap-
pointed by the chief executive with
the advice of the senate.
Frequently during the presidential
campaign. Mr. Hoover declared for
permanent solution OF the farm
problem and SO is opposed to legis-
lation which would deal with only the
present emergency. Unquestionably
he had in mind the delays that at
tend efforts of congress to legislate
in each specific case.
Efforts to smooth out these diff
ferences are under way and those
responsible hope that the house and
senate committees can report out
measures which will be accepta BILE
alike to the president and congress.
Meanwhile, the chief executive Is
holding himself in readiness for con-
ferences with the farm leaders while
the legislation is in the formative
stage, but he will withhold any pub
lie discussion of the form of the bill
until he sends his message to the
special session which begins on
April Is.
House Hearings Open
The house agriculture committee
opened farm relief hearings today
and decided to limit the testimony
during its hearings to suggestions
for aiding the farmer. excluding de-
tails of present conditions.
Among rules Of procedure adopt
ed at the opening of the hearing was
the decision to set up d sub commit
tee to sift through the applicants
for hearings and arrange for their
appearance. Accredited representa-
tives Of arm organizations would ar
range with this sub committee for
time and TO it other persons desiring
to appear would present their
claims.
The committee decided to hold
both morning and afternoon ses-
sions.
After the adoption Of rules, Chair
man Baugen appointed Representa-
tives Burnell of Indiana and Will
liams of Illinois, both republicans,
and Aswell of Louisiana. democrat.

their own state.
The matter has now been definitely
decided. While the Putnam committee
may be bit disappointed, as are
many other committees in various
parts of Southern New England, that
disappointment is lessened by the
knowledge that everything possible
was done in the interests Of Putnam.
The above gives a brief outline Of
the work accomplished, but does not
begin TO detail the amount Of effort
put forth. The press eooperated with
the committee in Withholding what
was going on, as it was believed that
the less publicity given to the lines
along which the committee was work
ing. the better the chance Of success.
Now that the matter has been deter
mined there is no longer any need Of

everything possible was done TO secure
