BORAH SUGGESTS
 RED RECOGNITION
Not Afraid of Communistic Propaganda, He Asserts

Twin Falls, Ida, Oct. 22 P- Senator William E. Borah of Idaho declared without qualification for recognition of the Russian Soviet government in d campaign address last night.
 T am not afraid of communist propaganda" he said.
 There is nothing the people Of the United States reject more quickly, when they know what it is, than they do the communist doc trine," he said.
 If l had my way l would trade with every country in the world. 1 know in due time we will recognize the government of Russia. We don't do it now because that would be regarded in some quarters as an . endorsement of the communistiC doctrine.
 |. No one has less use for the doc Urine than I, but believe that Rus sia, in pursuing her present policy, will work out something in the na- ture of sane democracy.
 The United States, by recognition of the government of Russia, can bring about the establishment of sane conditions in Russia more quickly than by standing aside.''
 Borah hailed with approval the manifestations of "a broader and more sympathetic policy" on the part of the United States recently with relation to Central and South American nations and predicted i'm proved relations would result.

Odd Fellows Assn. Considers
 Step to Raise Revenue

X. Emil Bentson, local business man, of 59 Buell. street, was elect ed president of the New Britain Odd Fellows association, at the annual meeting held ill Odd Fellows hall last night. Other officers elected were: Vice president, William Thiede of 191 Cherry street; secretary, Will liam W. Bullen of 23 Russwin road: Urea asurer, Baker E. Mann of 1S6 Maple street.
 While no action was taken by the association on probable increase in rental prices for the halls in the building, such action may be taken ing was acquired and rental prices were established several years ago, the basis of rental for the halls was not fixed in accordance with the overhead charges, it is said. The re- suit has been that the association has been worried each year to find enough money to pay the overhead, it is reported.
 If any increase is made in rental of the lodge rooms, it will be small enough not to be burdensome on the lodge members.
 There is a possibility that a spc- cial committee of the association will be selected to secure conven- tions for the auditorium, conduct special dances and perhaps oversee boxing shows this winter, to secure added revenue. This will be dis cussed at the next regular meeting of the association on November IS.

LAW BODY REPORT
 MAY ROUSE DRYS
Document May Reach Hoover by
 Middle Of November

Washington, Oct. 22 UP) - expect the Wickersham crime com- missions to make a prohibition re- port soon which may not be entire- ly acceptable to some dry organiza- tions.
 The document will be drafted when the commission resumes it's secret sessions here November 5, the day after election. It is to be sent to President Hoover probably about November 15 and may be forward ed by him to congress in December.
 Parts of the report have already been agreed on, according to those in d position to know. They say the commission has decided there will be no ''pussy-footing or lodging" in the summary of its investigations and in it's recommendations. The prohibition issue will be met frank ly if not sensationally, it is said, and in way which may not meet the approval of those who have been championing the dry act.
 Repeal Not to Be Urged
 Modification proposals may be en- tertained, but repeal suggestions will not be mentioned, according to these sources. The commission has been working on the assumption its chief duty was to find out what is wrong if anything with the law as well as enforcement. ,-..s
 The matter of prohibition has been thoroughly threshed out among the commissioners and has caused at least one member to offer his res- ignation -" Federal Judge William s. Kenyon of Iowa, an outspoken dry. His retirement offer is now re- ported 10 be in the hands of Chair man Wickersham. Previously two other commissioners are reported to have been dissatisfied - Dean Ros- COG Pound of the Harvard Law school and Kenneth Macintosh, Washington state supreme court justice. However, the retirement of neither is indicated.
 Kenyon is understood to have agreed to withhold action for the time being. The resignation has not yet reached Mir. Hoover's desk and the White House has declined to dis cuss it.

cation to obtain the proper degree Of
sensitiveness.
It will be readily apparent that the
use of radio In connection with the au-
tomobile will be particularly popular
during the warm weather months, when
people are going away on vacations ana
using their automobiles to carry them
on their outing trips. When these vari-
Gus families go on their motorized vaca-
lions, especially those who enjoy camp
ing along the road, they will have the
advantage of f1rst-class orchestras for
dancing in remote and unsettled parts

prefer to camp. They will be able to
get reports on the sporting events Of
the day as well as the news items, and
continue to follow from time to time
the broadcasting of their favorite radio
artists.

on the problem of getting the automo-

as they continue to make consistent

BY II. CLIFFORD BRoKAw,

While the automobile had a big start
on the radio industry, the later has
grown so rapidly that both industries
appear to have become adults. And
increasingly they seem to have much
in common. At least they have this In
common, namely, that millions of people
in the United States of America are
Consequently it is logical that the auto
mobile and the radio should get together.
For several years different people
have been experimenting on the possi-
bility of installing a radio equipment in
an automobile, so that the motorist,
when driving along in his car, can at
the same\ time be getting good radio
reception. If it can be brought about
that the automobile driver can listen to
the stock market quotations as he
drives home, or can listen to all kinds
of programs In case he goes on tour,
1t is figured that the market for radio
receiving sets will be greatly widened.
AS a matter of fact, the day has al
ready arrived when many automobiles
are equipped with radio, and the results
are said to be very satisfactory in many
instances.
Many Doubters.
There appears to be q growing de-
mand for this Joint use of radio and
automobile equipment. On the other
hand, It seems to the average person to
be SO impossible to achieve desirable
results in this field that the demand is
probably not as large as 1t would be
II people generally believed that such
combination could be possible.
For instance, one person states that
he Is afraid the ignition noises Of the
car would interfere with the. radio re-
ception. Another maintains that prob
ably it would be impossible to get a
radio set sensitive enough to be Of use
In travelling automobile. 1t must be
admitted that these are difficult engi-
neering problems and it Is well known
that competent engineers are working
on this all the time.
A radio set, If it Is to be used In an
automobile, surely must be highly SEN
sitive. It must also be shockproof and
capable of flnctioning acceptably in
spite of ignition noises Of the engine.
Other factors In this problem include
method of control, compactness, ease
of installation and weather precautions.
Electrical Features.
Naturally, whatever radio equipment
Is installed in an automobile, must take
up the minimum amount of space; 1t
will probably be made completely Of
metal Doubtless, the aerial will not be
long and the speaker will also need to
be as small as possible. When 1t comes
to installing the electrical part of an
automobile radio set, 1t will probably
be found necessary to use three stages

In the Motor World
BY q. ADAMS HOWARD.

1.-THE biggest tonic for business
Is good motor year. The indus
try employs, directly and indirect
~, more than four and half mil
lion persons. It buys ID per cent
of the steel and So per cent of the
malleable iron. It consumes 70
per cent of the plate glass and So
per cent of the upholstery leather.
Traffic over the Holland Tun-
mel, gasoline consumption and
other records of motor use indi-
cate that the public is setting new
records in automobile mileage.
These indications of the univer-
salty Of motor transport are an
excellent business sign.
Industry's Chief Worry.
1.-THE chief worry of the motor
industry Is not the question of
general business conditions, but
rather the growing tendency to
harasS the motoriSt.
"BuSybodies, reformerS, bureau
Gratis, every one with an ak to
grind or an experiment to foster,
tries to take 1t out on the motor
list.
I'VE have every sympathy with
public records which aim to stop
recklessnesS, but there is too much
paper work and too little real ex-
animation with respect to getting
licenses.
There are many persons in mid
die life who do not wish To tell
their ages because Of the premium
which Is put on youth. The
licensed applicant should not be
required to state more than the
fact that he is of age.
Every State should have special
traffic courts, but 1t is a gross in
justice to treat the overtime
parker as q common criminal.
Another Trouble Maker Cited.
Another attack on the driving
public is to be found in the So
called financial responsibility
laws which have been enacted in
many States.
1--WE favor such a law where
financial responsibility is de-
manded after certain major vio-
lationS, such as reckless driving,
drunken driving and hit-and-run
driving.
such a measure is much diff
ferent, however, from the situa-
ton in New Jersey and Connecti-
cut, where for IS or more Of
lenses, many of them very minor
and not involving safety, the mo-
torist can be compelled to take
out insurance.
The insurance companies are
a great blessing to this country.
Insurance Is one Of the accom-
pliShmentS of modern civilization.
Many doubt, however, If insurance
adds to safety, in which we are
most concerned.
One Law Provision Criticized.
"I hear strong criticism Of the
provision in these laws which
makes the State q collector Of
damage judgments. It tends to
bring demands for State insur-
ance funds, to which most think
ing people are opposed.
There is a grave question about
compulsory insurance as safety
The reckless man who
has insurance is doubly reckless.
It may be desirable from the
standpoint of financial protection,
but until further experience should
only be adopted with application
to drivers guilty Of being a men
are IN nllh1ic welfare"
It would seem that Mr.. Reeves
views are in accord with the pol
icies of the American Automobile
Association in regard to the safety
responsibility bill.
