ASSERTS RADIO
MAKES INR0ADS
ON NEWSPAPERS

NEW YORK, April %. (U.P)-The
radio, by unfair" competition, ac-
cording to Elzey Roberts, st. Louis
Star publisher, is making vast in
roads on the revenue of the ma
tons newspapers and American
publishers are short sighted in rec
ognizing radio competition as the
railroad men were in recognizing
bus and truck competition 10 years
ago."
Roberts, as chairman of the A.
N. P. A. radio committee. told the
association convention today in his
annual report that competition from
radio is so great that newspapers
might well discontinue exploitation
of broadcasting programs in their
columns.
He quoted figures from survey
showing that, for the first three
months of 1881, radio advertising
has increased to more than half the
total sum spent in newspaper ad-
vertising during the same period.
During 1890, he said, the ratio of
radio advertising to newspaper ad-
vertising was newspapers 100; radio
26. The figures for the first quar-
ter of this year were given as news
papers 100, radio 592. And this
growth, the survey shows, has been
accomplished since 1896 when ra-
dio advertising was virtually un-
known.
The competition between radio
and newspapers does not end in the
advertising end, however, the COM
mittee chairman said. Radio COM
peteS with the press in news, edi-
torials and features. Flash or bull
letin news of exceptional import
ance is handled by the radio today.
Descriptions of important prear-
ranged events are broadcast. Run
ming accounts and results of sport
ing events are carried on the air.
Election returns are often broad
cast, as are market reports, weather

Brand.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April %. tU.P)
Evidence tending to class the
slayer of Louise Teuber, II, as a sea-
.aring man was added to the mys-
terry case today when a San Diego
ship supply dealer made an identi-
fication of the rope used to truss
the girl to a limb of a tree on Black
Mountain.
T. E. McCaffres, San Diego ship
chandler, declared that the rope was
made by the Tubbs Cordage Com
pany In Oakland, Cal, and was sold
by only two or three dealers in San
Diego.
McAffrey declared that the rope,
tied in a double half hitch used by
sailors, was Of a type commonly
used forsmooring small shore boats.
He said it was not heavy enough
for use in towing automobiles.
Sheriff Ed Cooper, with scores OF
angles to follow. declared he be-
lieved the sea-faring theory one of
the most valuable held at present.
The theory that jealous woman
killed Louise, who had more dates
than any girl in San Diego" has
not been abandoned, according to
Sheriff Cooper.
Detectives and deputies under the
orders of Cooper Sought evidence in
the lunch counters and amusement
establishments around the base of
Black Mountain.
The search was ordered when a
chemical analysis showed that
Louise ate a sandwich about an
hour and one-half before she died.

ers of concessions within a radius
of several miles.
F.. M. Jones, a commercial photo

thus far to see Miss Teuber alive
Saturday evening.
Jones, who had been sought since
Monday, was located today and told
the officers he saw Miss Teuber
about 7 p. m. Saturday in an auto
mobile with another man. He was
released after questioning.
Members of the Teuber family
were taken Immediately to the sher-
ifs office and questioned in the
hope they might be able to identify
the man seen by Jones from the
description Jones gave the officers.

SACRAMENTO, April 30. U.p)-
Ignoring it's former stand for gov
ernmental economy, the senate fl
nance committee today astonished
the state legislature by passing out
nearly S4,00O,O00 in so-called pork
barrel appropriation bills without
blinking an eye.
This was the same committee
that last week recommended the re-
duction of Governor Rolph's bien-
MEL budget by nearly a million dol
lars, only to have its recommended
tions turned dowi. ON the floor of
the senate.
Todays action, however, virtually
marked the end of the generous
spending" Of state funds by the
committee ROLAND A Vandergrift,
state director of finance, informed
the committee that approximately
S6 100000 in special appropriation
bills could be handled during the
next two years. There are approxi-
mately $50OO0,O00 in such bills now
before the legislature.
Water conservation, the hope of
hundreds of San Joaquin Valley
farmers whose lands are burning up
for lack of irrigation, was a doomed
issue in the state legislature to-
day.
Continued wrangling and fighting
among the various opposing factions
caused them to withhold acceptance
of the proposed $188, 100000 state
! wide development program, despite
| the scores of amendments that had
been offered by its sponsors.
Meanwhile, the legislature ad-
Vanced by another week the date
originally planned for adjournment,
TO May IS. At that time 1t was
explained, the legislators pay for the
present year runs out, and if they
remain longer it must be at their
own expense.
Final hearing on the water con-
servation amendments before the
senate constitutional amendments
committee last night failed to show
the slightest possibility that legiS-
lation could be drawn to satisfy the
conflicting interests throughout the
state.
AS a result of continued protests,
the constitutional amendment pro-
posing a state tribunal for the adj
justment of water rights and the
disposal of litigation, was tabled by
the committee as. too arbitrary"
