The claim of G. Bryan Pitts,
former chairman Of the board of
the F. H. Smith Company, who
is in jail pending disposition of
the appeal from 14-year prison
sentence imposed on him for con-
spiracy, that the District Jail is
sanctuary and that he is exempt
from service of civil process while
there, is disputed in a brief filed
in Supreme Court yesterday.
The brief was filed for Alma
Morton, 600 Twentieth St. N. w.,
who sued Pitts several months
ago for the recovery Of a large
sum Of money, which she invested
in bonds of the F. III. Smith Com
pany and which she claims were
sold to her under false repre-
SentatiOnS.
Deputy marShals served Pitts
with summons in the case while
he was in Jail and after sentence
had been pronounced upon him.
He filed a motion to quash the
service on grounds that he was
a litigant and came here from
his home in Florida to attend
the trial that resulted in his
conviction and sentence.

Despite the TACT that 1880 saw
decline in sales of radio sets
as compared with the peak year
1929, the figures just released by
Radio Retailing show that re-
tail sales of radio equipment for
last year reached the total value
of $500, ,951, 900.
Radio sets had the largest sale
of any other type of radio prod
uct last year, a total of 1927 300
having been sold, with q retail
value of $332, 10000. Tube sales
aggregated 100000 units, cost
ing $119,600, Auto receivers,
accessories and parts made up
the balance Of sales.
Estimates by the radio publica-
ton place the number of Amer
ican homes now using radio sets
of all types at 100000.
In 1929, the peak year for the
radio industry, sales amounted
to $842 $4,000, the survey report
shows. In that year, 4,438,0 900
radio receivers, valued at $685.
068,000 were sold and tube sales
during the same period came to
5000, 900, at a total osst of $172,-
100000.
The NB.C. scouts may have
signed Ruth Chatterton, but Co
lumbia comes forth with the news
that it has signed Irene Bordoni,
the vivaciouS French star, for SO
weeks, at $2,500 q week. She will
appear in a weekly series of half
hour broadcasts, backed by a per
fumery sponsor, beginning next
Sunday night at 9 o'clock.
I accept it all except the $4,000
figure. That I take with Holly
wood reservations.
Lowell Thomas worldwide
adventures are rather tame
when compared to those he is
finding in the radio realm. One
of the latest comes in the form
of a telegram, asking for one
of his scripts. It seems that a
crime was committed in Norfolk
on January 6, and a man there
has been sentenced to death for
it. Since then, evidence has been
developed that one of the wit
neSSeS against him was listening
to Lowell Thomas, at the hour
the crime was committed, and,
therefore could not have seen the
crime.
The witness was confused by
dates, and is willing to recant
if it is proved that what she
remembers was read by Mr..
Thomas on a given date. The
script has been sent. It may save
a mans life.
The Conclave of Nations series
of the Columbia Broadcasting
System, in which the ranking
diplomatic representatives of ma

the program honoring Czechoslo-
Vakia.
Ferdinand Veverka, minister
from Czechoslovakia, will speak
on the topic "Czechoslovakia
The Old and the New" The
usual accompaniment of native
music will be played by the Con-
clave orchestra under the direc-
ton of Andre KoStelanetz.
Including this final program,
the diplomats of all the 56 ma
tions having diplomatic represen-
tation in the Capital of the
United States have spoken to
nationwide Columbia audiences.
The series was opened early last
year by Sir Esme Howard, then
British ambassador and the rank
ing member of the Diplomatic

President Hoover met that Is

disapproval. He declared it had
placed before him one OF the
most important matters before
the nation-namely "the issue OF
Federal Government ownership
and operation of power and
manufacturing business, not as a
by-product, but as a major pur-
pose"
He admitted the conduct of
the power industry was involved
in the question, but said it could
not be solved by the Government
going into the business. He
pointed out he had recommended
on several occasions that Con-
greSs establish Federal regula-
ton Of interstate power in co,

true solution. He wrote:
