United States, three in its insular
possessions and IL in foreign nations.
Expenditures in the United States and
insular possessions totaled 5000 900.
The American Red Cross spent $4,000
in relieving distress in foreign nations
where earthquakes, floods and other
problems caused appeals to be made
through the League Of Red Cross
Societies.
Seventeen Expenditures.
Disaster relief expenditures of the
Red Cross during the past seven years
have aggregated S53,800.000. OF this
sum. $6,550,000 was contributed from
the organizations treasury. Payne re-
vealed that the annual roll call for
members had resulted in the collection
of S6,550,000.
The disaster statistics show that the

Relief to Half Million.
In the United States the Red Cross
gave help to $4,000 persons. In Porto
Rico, following the West Indies hurri-
cane. relief was given to more than
half million.
Following the floods in the South
eastern States, the organizations gave
seed, feed and other rehabilitation to
farmers. In a folfow-up health pro.
gram, developed to meet pellagra ana
other deficiency diseases. the Red Cross
sponsored a public health nursing serv-
ice, and more recently nutrition
service, to teach proper diet and food
habits.
Support for this work all comes from
the annual roll call for members. Judge
PAYNE said A heavier response to the
plea to join the organization means
more funds available to meet calls for
relief. The roll call is held from
Armistice day to Thanksgiving day.

TAKEN FOR RIDE
BY RACKETEERS
Friend of Late MARROW Is
Found, Shot to Death,
in Brooklyn.

BIZ United Press
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. 6.-Phil
Diana, a young gangster who has
been operating on the fringe Of the
big shot racketeers, and who boast
ed rashly that he would settle with
the killers Of Frankie NARROW, died
in Brooklyn gutter early today, a
victim Of gangland tactics.
Detective Fitzgerald of the Brook
lyn police said that Phil always
carried two guns, but he was I'M
armed when his body was found.
There were two bullet holes in the
head.
Apparently he was shot AMI
dumped from an automobile, for a
woman in the neighbOrhood said
car had passed slowly through the
street shortly after midnight.
Diana'S real name was Sylvester
Graiusso. He was 26 and a friend
of frankie Yale, the racketeer, who
was killed in Brooklyn last year;
of Al Capone of Chicago, and Of
NARROW, who was taken for ride
and slain last spring.
Diana recently returned from a
trip to Philadelphia, where he at
tempted to see Capone, serving a
years sentence in jail there.
After MarloWs body was found,
Diana boosted that he knew the
killers and would attend to them
himself. Phil was wounded while at
tempting to put over a racket on
the longshoremen two years ago.

Canny Scotch Comedian to Broad

Sir Harry Lauder will receive the

he's perfectly willing to sing the ones
American listeners prefer. And the
canny Scotch comedians second ma
tional broadcast within recent weeks is
completely upsetting commercial prece-
dents. For the first time in radio his
tory one program sponsor is securing a
noted star to appear in the feature
presentation of another sponsor.
Sir Harry's rates are inheXible. Emma
Jettick pays the bill, as sponsor Of the
Sunday night melodies broadcast over
coast-to-coaSt National Broadcasting
Co. networks in which he is to appear.
But these rates entitle radio listeners
to more songs than can be crowded
into the weekly Emma Jettick period.
So his second group will be sung in the
Golfers radio hour Immediately follow
ing, the successive sponsors have agreed.
"I Gamma weel see how the r-radio
pooblic can lose," grinS Sir Harry.
He has announced his program, after
careful tabulation Of requests. For his
first group, in the Emma Jettick Melo-
dies, beginning at pm, he has
chosen "Roamin' in the Gloamin'," +"
''Wee Hoose 'Mang the Heather" End

CHAIN REGULATION
HINGES ON CONGRESS
Action Is Necessary Since Radio
Commission Refused to
Curb Programs.

6y the Associated Press.
Chain broadcast stations probably will
operate this Winter without govern
mental restriction unless Congress at
its regular session decides to impose
specific regulations.
A majority Of members Of the Federal
Radio Commission have twice rejected
proposals to limit transmission of chain
programs. The last action was refusal
to adopt the proposal of one, of Judge
Eugene o. Sykes, that stations of 5000
watt power or more be required to
obtain special permission to broadcast
chain programs regularly.
The commission while making its big
feallocation year ago issued an order
requiring a geographical separation OF
800 miles between stations using chain
programs, except for one hour each
evening. Protest from the listening
public and affected broadcasters caused
the commission to postpone the effective
date several times, the latest postpone
ment being until December 81, 1929.
Some members Of Congress who have
taken particular interest in radio super
vision have advocated regulation OF
chain broadcasting on the grounds of
program duplication and an expressed
fear that the network companies might
monopolize the broadcasting business.
The regular session Of Congress opens
tomorrow and, owing to the fact that
the life Of the commission expires De-
cember 81, it is expected to take up
the question Of its continuance at an
early date.
