ST. LOUIS, February 20.-Herbert
Hoover, jr., today predicted that radio
knitting an invisible net of safety
around air transportation, would be re-
quired of aviation lines by law.
The Presidents son, Western Air Ex-
press radio engineer, indicated that civil
aeronautics was ready for at least one
part OF proposed Department of Com
merce regulations requiring transport
operators TO lay and make use OF what
the ralroader would call air tracks"
Equipment is now available" he said
before the Society of Automotive Engi-
neers, meeting at the international Air
craft Exposition, that fulfills the needs
OF commercial air transportation.
1t viii probably be only matter Of
qulre the use of reliable radio, the fullest
use OF which is essential to the contin-
ued success of air transportation.
"Airplane radio development has &C.
CURED within year and work is being
rapidly pushed on additional radio de-
vices to aid in navigation and COM
munication."
Future success Of airplane radio, he
said, depends on manufacturers of mo-
tors and ships eliminating ignition in
reference, the one thing that is hold
ing up progress at the present time"

McKelvie, q former Governor Of Me-
braska, had declared that the annual
sales of wheat in the United States
through future trading are IS times as
great in the aggregate as the country's
actual production Of wheat.
Forty per cent of this volume OF wheat
sales represents 'pure speculation" he
asserted and involves loss of not less
than 5000, 000,0 900 a year to those who
engage in it. Both the costs and the
loss are charged indirectly against the
farmers who produce the wheat, he
said
"If the grain trade is not specializing
or making speculation possible, who tsp"
asked Mr.. McKelvie. IF speculation
is necessary, as the grain trade claims,
the country has a right to know what
it costs, as the farmer is bearing the
costs of our present marketing
systems"
The Minneapolis Chamber Of Com
merce, through its president, George
P. Case, asked Mr.. McKelv1e, how he
arrived at his conclusions.
The inquiry was made in an open
letter to McKelvie.
I'VE would be exceedingly interested
in learning" Cases letter said, "by
what process Of reasoning and on what
authority you arrived at such a con-
clusion. AS these figures are not
available to us, we would deeply ap-
preciate your giving us the source of
your information"

AIR LEADERS URGE
BILL TO AID LINES
Postmaster General Appears
Before House Committee
With Plea for Move.

Passage by Congress of the Watres
bill, providing for revision OF the air
mail regulations in accordance With the
proposals advanced by Postmaster Cen
eral Walter F. rown in a recent speech
in Cleveland, was urged by representa-
lives of the air transport lines at hear
ing yesterday before the House post
ONCE committee.
Revision of the airman contract regu-
lations on some such basis as that en-
bodied in the Watres bill is necessary
to put the passenger airlines of the
country on a paying basis, majority
of the witnesses agreed.
Contracts by Space Weight.
The Provisions of the Watres bill give
the Postmaster General authority to
contract for mail transportation by air
on a space weight basis with the present
operators of air passenger lines. as well
as with the operators of airmail lines.
Postmaster General Brown appeared
to urge the committee to approve the
Watres bill With him came a score
of other witnesses from airmail and
passenger lines, but no voice was raised
in opposition to the legislation.
Brown said there was not passenger
line in the country which did not lose
money last year.
i ne pIUUlcEl InuSG DC SOlN6O, he
said, "or we shall have an utter COL
lapse of the air-passenger industry.
Fears Junking of Experience.
UNLESS the plan outlined in this bill
is adopted we will junk the invaluable
experience the industry has obtained
with the material progress it has made
at a great cost to the United States
and the investing public"
Among the group of witnesses we're
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former
Assistant Attorney General, and Will
liam P. MacCracken, ir., former Assist
ant Secretary of Commerce for Aero
nautics. Both of them now are asso-
ciated with aviation companies.
Mrs. Willebrandt pronounced the bill
fair in its provisions.
MacCracken said that unless some
such legislation is passed air transport
must be confined exclusively to airmail
Operators can't run a passenger
route on passenger fares alone" he
added, Eat least it can't be done under
competitive bidding basis when bid
ding is not based on a passenger and
mail service, but on mail service only

Trenton. N. J.. July 12 (UP)-For a2 years Archie Heron, Il, has sat day after day in his cell at the ftate prison here, under sentence of death but never to be executed.
 Twelve years ago he had a visitor his son. He has never had an- other.
 In 1908 Heron was convicted of the murder of the Rev. Samuel B. D. Pickett, a retired minister, who had caused his arrest on charge of dis orderly conduct.
 NThe court of errors stayed the ex- ccution, pending an appeal. but the conviction was reaffirmed. Supreme Court Justice James J. Bergen re- sentenced Heron to die in January, 1909.
 After Governor Franklin Fort had granted two 30 day reprieves, the execution was set for March 30, 1908.
 But Heron seemed destined to re-

 No further orders were forthcom- ing, and Justice Bergen died himself in 1923. His death removed the last chance of Herrons execution, for the law requires that a man whose execution has been stayed must be resentenced by the sentencing judge.
