Solution of gangland execution, recounted under the title "Take Him For a Ride" will be dramatized for the radio audience in Thursday nights broadcast at g over WABC, Captain James F. Bean, of the Los Angeles police department is the source of the facts of this case which is published complete. The dramati- zation will go step by step over the trail of the killers of Jimmy Brady' just as the detectives worked on the clues while the case was being solv- ed. The action recounts the ramfi- cations of the case that extended across the continent to Portland. Me. and into the New York underworld
 The year 1929 has been year of great radio progress in both broad casting improvements and refine- ments in radio receivers. Of course there has been a great improvement in broadcast programs, but in addi- ton to this many other improve ments were made on the engineer ing side Of broadcasting. Many of the stations presenting good programs increased their power and their sig nal modulation which brings them more consistently to the receivers of greatly extended audience with better quality. Improved micro phones and amplitiers have made better tone quality of broadcast sig nals. During the year a large number of stations have been equipped with crystal oscillators for keeping them steadily on their assigned frequency. Chain networks have also expanded during the year, bringing metropol- itan programs to a greatly extended audience.
 The quality of reception from WTIC is described in this paragraph, written from England. Listening to the rain on my studio toplight at 4;5O o'clock one morning, or about 11:5O o'clock eastern time. l thought l would get up to see if Uncle Sam 1 had anything to say on the wireless -or, as you prefer, on the radio. Some four or five stations came in with the usual craCkles and bangs, l as if you Americans were staging an mother battle of the Sommc. As l continued down the scale, however, 1 I suddenly came upon organ music as clear as any 1 have heard from | xxx Daventry. which is our standby here. Judge my stupefaction when l heard you announce it was WTlC in Ihe states. In six years of radio l have never heard anything like it. 1 It was entirely free from interfer- ence, fading or 'mush. It was incon- ceivable that the organ was playing 5000 miles away"

AUTO SALES PUSHED

Companies Making Effort to Clea,

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
DETROIT, June 28.-Those autoYno-
bile makers who are continuing their
lines without change throughout the
Summer season are now applying the
spur to sales divisions and distribution
outlets, with the aim of sustaining sales
volume through the seasonal let-down
and against forthcoming new model
proouction likely to give them fresh
competition.
The results, factory executives saw
show an irregular trend, one good week
usually being followed by q period that
shows a falling off in quotas that nave
been set.
Although the general condition shows
an increasingly "spotty" curve in the
rate at which the country Is able to alb
Sorb new cars, scheduled output is be-
ing maintained at prescribed levels
excluding the loweSt-priced divisions
which continue to push the largest vol
ume, it is believed other factories are
managing to keep their distribution
slightly ahead of production. This
phase is pointed to as the basic indica-
ton OF strength, together with general
action by the companies in conserving
cash and assets.
Consequently the regular mid-year
reao1uStment covering inventory and
vacation let-down is proceeding on an
orderly basis, with price lists main
tanned except in instances where clean
ups have been ordered to prepare for
new offerings.
June, according to current surveys. is
to show recession from May in factory
shipments and production. July, into
the first two weeks of which most of
the factory vacation periods will be
concentrated, likewise is likely to con-
tinue the process, with the course be-
yond that, August and September, yet
to be forecast.

crease. There is every reason to be-
lieve, according to Government officials
and economists. that this improvement
is destined to continue through the fol-
lowing three months.
These conservative men do not claim
that there will be striking or extraordi-
nary improvement or a boom period
within that time. They look for q
healthy, steady growth At the end
of that time, they believe that the
period of depression will have passed
and that the following nine months
of the 1930-31 fiscal year will show
to those shown in the 1928-29 fiscal
year.
Opportunities Open.
There has never been a period in
the history of this country where oppor-
tunities were so freely offered for the
acquisition of profit as they are today.
Industries have been stripped of all
disguise. They can be judged on their
merits. The same applies to commodi-
ties and to business policies An ex-
ample OF what is possible to the man
with vision has been clearly shown in
late months by the operations of o. p.
Van Swertngen. ForSeeing the trend
toward decline in stock prices this
financier turned holdings into cash and
when the break came he went shopping
for bargains with $80000,0 900 in cash
and returned home with half a score of
railroads tucked in his pockets This
was duplication on. a larger scale of
what z. H. Hartman had done in a
previous period of business depression.
In smaller degree. such opportunities
are offered to every business man In
the next few months provided he has
vision and Judgment.
