New Senator from Penn sylvaniia Seated Despite
 Yves Objections

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. D. A movement to deny his seat tc Senator-elect James J. Davis, Penn sylvania, was short-lived today, and he was duly inducted into office af- ter the Senate had voted down 8 motion to withhold seating him pending further investigation oi Pennsylvania campaign expenses by Senator Yves committee.
 Senator Nye claimed there had been found a total of $628,000 eX- pended in the primary campaign on behalf of the former Secretary of Labor and Francis Shupk Brown the latter defeated by Clifford Pin ehot for the Republican nomina- tion for Governor.

The latter did not appear at that time to be sworn in awaiting definite action on the Nye move. After the resolution was beaten he appeared and took his seat after the oath of office had been administered.
 Senator c. C. Dill, Washington who yesterday announced he was prepared to deny to Davis the right to be sworn in pending the out come of Senator Yves further in- vestigation, today he reversed his views, saying that after compar ing the present case with the Smith case from Illinois he found them to be quite different; and that to deny Davis his right to sit at this time would, he was afraid, set a dan gerous precedent He added that he still favored further inquiry into the primary campaign expen- ditures.

ALASKA TOWNS UNITE FOR MORE
 RADIO POWER
Territorial Chamber Thank. ed for Supporting 5O,-
 000-Watt Application

Action of the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce in request ing the Federal Radio Commission to increase the power of one of the Seattle broadcasting stations from the present maximum of 5000 to 15.0OO watts has been indorsed by the Juneau, Petersburg, Ketchi- kan and Fairbanks chambers of commerce, according to communica- tions received by M. S. Whittier secretary of the Territorial cham Der.
 KOMO is a Seattle station that has applied for increased power. The application which was given a hearing last July in Seattle by members of the Federal commits sion, has encountered opposition from other Seattle stations. The decision of the commission is ex- pected any day now.
 Alaska commercial organizations as well as owners of radios in the Territory are not interested in what Seattle station is permitted to in- crease it's power, but they are anxi- ous for a 15OOO watt service. Re- ception in the North would be much better if power were increased.
 MT. Whittier is in receipt of a letter from Birt F. Fisher, secretary and manager of KOMO, thanking the Territorial Chamber of Con- merce for it's indorsement of the 15,O0O watt application and for it's request for action on the part of the Federal commission.
