new REGULATIONS
FOR RADIO HAMS"
Stations Barred From Ships,

BY MARTIN CODELL.

Amateur radio stations aboard ships,
automobiles, airplanes or other mobile
craft are barred "for the present" under
new regulations ordered by the Federal
Radio Commission, effective tmmedi-
ately.
Amateur stations also may not be
located on premises controlled by an
alien.
These, among other regulations, were
promulgated in order to eliminate ANA
teur interference with other services as
well as among amateur stations them
selves. The revised regulations were
drawn up with the advice and full CO.

League, official organization of this

Besides requiring certain technical
changes in equipment, primarily one

Emergency Provisions.
However, their services in emergencies
and for contact with expeditions are
preserved under "a provision whereby
they may communicate with commercial
or Government stations or with mobile
craft and expeditions under special cir
cumstances. The value of amateur
radio for communication in times of
flood, hurricanes, earthquakes and other
disasters has too often been proved to
limit them too severely on that score.
Another provision of the regulations
prohibits amateur stations from broad

Oil Stocks
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Senior to its common stock Sinclair
OIL has almost $88,000,000 of funded
debt, q contingent liability on $4,000
600 in other bonds and over 5000, 900
in preferred stock. Before considering
the status of the junior shares analysis
must concern itself with the securities
that precede them.
There are three bonds, direct obliga-
tons of the corporation, per cent
issue due in 1897 outstanding to the
amount of about $44,000,000 callable at
price, q 612 per cent issue due in 1888
outstanding to the amount Of $22, AGO.
900 callable at los and selling somewhat
under that price and per cent issue
due September / next outstanding to
the amount of about $l8,500,000 and
selling around par.
In 1928 interest charges were earned
2.85 times and 1t is believed that the
1929 showing was much better than
that. On this basis the margin of safety
is ample and the bonds give a high re-
turn although because of the limitations
Of the call price they do not have much
speculative attraction.
Sinclair Oil preferred is an per cent
issue redeemable at ITO, around which
price it sells in the open market. Here,
too, there is little opportunity for price
appreciation, but there is high yield.
It is improbable that the preferred will
be called, but the fact that it is subject
to call holds it down in market price.
The common is, of course, a speculation,
tn, future of which is bound up with
that of the oil industry, At this writing
the 1929 earnings statement is not avail
able, but it is unofficially estimated
that net for the common stock will be
around $2.75 a share, which compares
with actual earnings for 1928 of 1921
a share.
The present dividend rate is So an
nually, which is a generous distribution
for company with these earnings. The
market price takes all that into &C
count, however.

Cambridge Facing
Difficulty Finding
! New Chancellor
Bishop of Birmingham
May Be Successor to
Earl of BalfOur.
BY the Associated Press.

6y the ASSOCIATED EteSS.
LONDON, April 7.-Cambridge Uni
versity is faced with some dificulty in
the matter Of choosing a chancellor
in succession to the late Earl of Bal
four, who was the holder Of the post
since 1919.
In the older universities the position
of chancellor has always fallen to some
man Of years and one long eminent in
the public service. Such a man must be
a graduate of the university which
honors him by election to the chan
cellorship.
At the present time, however, it so
happens that most of the elders of the
Kingdom are Oxonians. Cambridge
could hardly elevate an oxford graduate
to its CHARACTERISTIC with eQuanimity.
The suggestion is now being made that
the selection might be made outside the
semi-political field and that eccleSias-
tics or men Of science should be recog-
nized as equally eligible with those who
have served the state.
Both the archbishops, however, are
Oxford men. Cambridge Is now In
clined to look with favor upon the
Right Rev. e. w. Barnes, Bishop Of
Birmingham, who combines renown
in the world of mathematics and as a
churchman. The bishop was educated
at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was
bracketed second wrangler in 1896. He
won honorS in mathematics and has to
his credit an imposing array Of phil
osophical and scientific works.
The selection of Bishop Barnes might
meet some opposition, since he Is
man Of most pronounced views and has
often been the storm center Of ecclesi.
estical controversy ..

CHAIN STORE SALES
DECLINE IN MARCH
Lateness of Easter Business
Given as Cause for
FE Setback.
snAciaI nisnatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April THE first %
chain store companies to report their
results for March show aggregate sales
for the month of Sic, 1895, 400, compared
with $121, 625,847 in March, 1929, a
decrease of 9.67 per cent.
The decrease in sales for March is
attributable principally to the fact that
in 1929 Easter business was in March,
while this year it will be reflected in
April sales. Apart from this, sales were
affected by considerable bad weather in
Western States. 1t is interesting to
point out, however, that the majority
of the decreases were in the variety and
mail order groups, companies in the
grocery group reporting increases.
Sales for these companies for the
three months totaled 1913, 1885, COM
pared with $313,079,246 in the cor
responding period of 1929, an increase
of 0.19 per cent.

The outlaws, headed by the dan
gerous Ray Spears and his formid-
able assistants cut the engine OFF
from the express car, ran it down
the track to the water tank, held up
the express messengers, and blew
open the safe. All this took place
with neatness and dispatch.
The bandits were old heads at the
business, and it was only a few
minutes until they had obtained
the twenty thousand dollars, showed
it into burlap sack, and we're run
ming towards the engine on which
they planned to ride to point far
down the line where they had con-
cealed an automobile in clump Of
trees near the track.
But - things went wrong when
they reached the engine.
Fulgent instruments of death APP
peared in the dark velvet of the
night. One of these was the re-
volver in Dwight Moody'S hand. He
cut down the leader of the outlaws,
his bullet going straight home.
Then began pitched battle be-
tween the two remaining outlaws
and the half-dozen officers, in whose
midst was Dwight Moody, who,
really, was the hero of the occasion.
Bullets whanged and sang, slugs
tore holes in the black curtain;
there were flashes of fire, sparks
from the hot muzzles of whipping
weapons, groans, curses, sounds of
bodies dropping like Jumps of coal
against the ground, and when the
smoke cleared away, the last one
remaining of the bandit gang had
crumpled to the earth with a bull
let in his lung.
