Further Report of Hyde Awaited

Furtner report OF HYDE AWalCeO
Chicago, Sept. %, The bust
ness conduct committee of the
Chicago board of Trade awaited
further reports from Secretary Of
Agriculture Hyde today before con-
tinuing it's investigation of charges
by Hyde that Russia had contri-
buted to a depression in the Amer
lean wheat market by heavy short
selling.
The committee, which has broad
powers in investigating and discip-
lining members of the Board of
Trade, met for an hour yesterday
after the exchange closed with
prices from a to SO cents lower.
Pointing out that it would be
nescessary to know just which of
the $50 clearing members of the
board had handled the Russian
sales before Hyde's charges could
be investigated thoroughly, the
committee announced that is could
do little until additional information
was received from Washington.
AS soon as we learn from Sec
rotary Hyde the names of the bro
kers who executed the Russian
sales orders, we will call them in
to explain and find out definitely
what is behind the charges, said
Joseph w. Badenoch, chairman Of
the committe, who explained that
the situation was a new one and
that the committe needed full de-
tails before proceeding.

TRYING TO CUT
WHEAT GAMBLING
Legge Blames Recent Slump
to Soviet Activities in
Chicago Pit
MAY CLOSE MARKET
Board of Trade Committee Is
Investigating the Charges
of Secretary Hyde

Washington, Sept. 23,-Chair-
man Alexander Legge. of the Fed
eral Farm board believes the wheat
market should be protected against
speculative trading such as Off
Gals suspect Soviet Russia has
been engaged in by selling short on
the Chicago Board of Trade.
Legge today joined Secretary of
Agriculture Hyde in charging that
short sale by the All-Russian Tex
tile syndicate had part in caus-
ing a recent decline in wheat prices.
He said he believed that the fed
eral government was able under the
grain act of 1922 to stop such prac-
tees and is confident the govern
ment has the power to close any
market.
AS was the case when the wheat
problem was free of foreign entan-
clements and merely appeared in
the shape of uncomfortably low
prices, the situation is developing
political angles. Senator Brookhart,
Republican, Iowa; Senator Cara
way, Democrat, Arkansas, and Rep
resentative Fish, Republican, New
York, have indicated their opinion
that the Russian short selling in
cident has emphasized the advan-
tage of closer control of futures
trading.

DAVIS TO REMAIN
IN CABINET POST
Cites Hoover Precedent, but
Says He viii Not Embarrass
the President.

Secretary James j. Davis intends to
remain in President Hoover's cabinet
while campaigning against Senator
Joseph r. Grundy for the Republican
nomination in Pennsylvania, but he
will do nothing that will embarrass"
Mr.. Hoover.
Secretary Davis made known his In
tention definitely yesterday In answer
to questions concerning speculation on
his remaining as head of the Labor De-
partment. His attention had been di-
rected to published reports that the
cabinet table association of himself,
Secretary Mellon and the President, in
view of the reputed support of Grundy's
political aspirations by Mr.. Mellon, was
proving embarrassing to Mr.. Hoover.
Some members of the Pennsylvania
congressional delegation think that the
Treasury Secretary and his nephew, W..
L. Mellon, former State Republican chair
man, will remain neutral, not only in
the senatorial but also In the guberna-
torial contests.
Davis said he had not altered the
sentiment he expressed on March IL,
when he denied rumors of resignation
from the cabinet. At that time, he de-
clared "the publication Of such report
is great injustice to me and If broad
cast will do Unreasonable harm to Pres
ident Hoover" To several members of
the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress
Davis has cited Hoover's continuance in
the Coolidge cabinet as q. precedent he
will follow.

Charges. Barber
Was Given Job as
Building Inspector
Simmons Throws Out
RumOr-Davison Cites
New System.

Report that a barber had obtained a
job as a building inspector enl1veneo
hearings before the House District sub
committee on appropriations during
consideration of items for the building
department.
The rumor, thrown out by Represent
alive Simmons, was neither directly
confirmed nor denied, but it brought
from Maj. Donald A. Dawson the state
ment that personnel in the department
was not satisfactory either to him OF
to Building Inspector Oehmann and an
announcement that he had set up a
new and more drastic system for the
selection Of new employees.
Mr.. Simmons opened this part Of the
hearing with the statement that: I'VE
have had a lot Of complaints, major
that the building inspection division has
been filled with incompetent appointees
l believe one story that came To me was
that you have an inspector of buildings
who, before he went on your force, was
barber. There are stories of that
kind; rather diSqiieting reports"
Maj. Davison-They are not without
foundation, either. The type of employe
that we have now is satisfactory neither
to the inspector OF buildings nor to
Representative Holiday asked-Do
you propose, under your reorganization
plan, to drop from the rolls any of the
employees that you now have?
Maj. DaviSon-We are dropping from
the rolls the older men who are becom-
ing of retirement age and are coming up
for another appointment.
Mr.. Holaday-But do you propose to
drop any for incompetency?
Maj. DaviSon-You can do that only
in case their efficiency report iustifies it
Mr.. Holaday-Have you had any re-
ports that would justify it?
Col. Oehmann-If can find tbs
barber that was referred to, there would
be. I would like to know who he is.
Mr.. Holaday-It might be that a mar
who had been barber previously was
as good an inspector as YOU had.

HANSON DESCRIBES
RADIO AID TO BYRD
Highly important as Safety
Measure and for Efficiency,
He Declares.
By the Associated Press.

by Lne AbSOClbIeQ ETebS.
DUNEDIN, New Zealand, March 18.
The three-fold value of radio to the
Antarctic expedition Of Rear Admiral
Richard e. Byrd was described today by
Lieut.. Malcolm Hanson, radio engineer
attached to the aircraft radio section of
the naval research laboratory at Ana
costa, D. C.
In an interview, he said that radio
had provided highly important chain
of safety by making possible communi-
cation between flying and dog parties
and the base.
In the second place, it had made for
efficiency in the handling of the expe-
dition's affairs getween the base at
Little America, the ships, and Dunedin
and New York. Every day Admiral
Byrd had dictated letters as though in
an Office in New York, and business
with the United States could be COM
pleted at moments notice.
Keeps Up Morale.
The third value Of radio was In con-
nection with the morale of the men.
Lieut.. Hanson said in general, radio
made an exceedingly valuable contribu-
ton to keeping up their spirits They
were able to keep in continuous touch
with their families and friends and at
the same time the families were saved
from anxiety by reading daily In the
newspapers about the activities and the
progress of the expedition.
Lieut.. Hanson thought that perhaps
the greatest advance from the point OF
view Of radio as science was shown
not only in the ease with which the
expedition was able to reach stations
in any part of the world on short-wave
lengths. but in the experimenting done
to determine the wave length necessary
for q particular season and time OF
day. The wave lengths used varied
between IS and SO meters, most Of the
communications being handled on 81
and "a meters.
Direction Finders Valuable.
Radio direction finders had proved
to be very valuable and were extensive
ly used In navigating ships through the
ice to Little America. Owing to the
uncertainty Of the magnetic compass in
the Antarctic radio had special func-
ton to fulfill in this respect.
Communication with the base Of Sir
George Hubert wilkins on Deception
Island had been attempted but was I'M
successful, owing to intervening con-
ditionS Attempts to communicate with
the expedition Of Sir Douglas Mawson
also were unsuccessful.
Measurement taken at the great ice
barrier revealed the interesting fact that
signals from the United States and
South America often were louder than
base on certain wave lengths.
