SUIT MAY CAUSE
RADIO SHAKE-UP
Tube Fight Involving R. C. A.
and Affiliations NearS
Supreme Court.
BY ROBERT MACK.

Separation of the interests of the
Radio Corporation of America and its
affiliated and associated enterprises in
the radio field may result from the
protracted vacuum tube litigation the
the De Forest Radio Co.
After three years Of litigation the
r. C. A. stands on the threshold of the
Supreme Court, seeking a reversal OF
the opinion of the Circuit Court of APP
peals in Philadelphia last week that it
had undertaken unlaWfully to monopo-
lie the manufacture and sale of radio
tubes. in violation of the antitrust laws.
Should it be adjudged guilty in this
case, the radio law provides that the
company or any of its subsidiaries be
refused renewals of station licenses OF
any character.
Renewals Would Be Denied.
This would mean, it is stated in in
formed radio circles, that the Federal
Radio Commission, as the licensing
authority must deny renewal of licenses
to stations of the National Broadcast
ing Co, leading radio network;
r. c. A. Communications, Inc, which
maintains the bulk of Americas trans
oceanic radio links; Radio Marine Cor
poration of America, the ship-to-Shore

that involving the requirement former
1y specified by the r. G. A. in its con-
tracts with the radio receiving set
manufacturers that they initially equip
their sets with r. G. A. tubes. The de-
cision of the Appellate Court at Phila-
delphia last week affirmed the ruling
of Federal District Court of Delaware,
which in February. 1928, ordered the
r. c. A. and its associated companies
to discontinue the pooling arrange
ment" r. C. A. licenses 95 per cent
of the set industry for receiver patents.
Review to Be Asked.
r. C.. A. has announced it will apply
promptly for a review of the adverse de-
cision by the Supreme Court. Should
the court refuse to review the case, the
opinion of the Appeals Court would be
a final judgment That would mean that
the Radio Commission would have to
enforce the provisions Of the radio act
and refuse renewals of licenses to the
r. C. A. or any subsidiary thereof. 1t
is explained, however, that by the trans
fer of its actual radio operating subsid-
iaries to companies over which it does
not have actual ownership control the
rigid provisions of the law might be
circumvented.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
IMPLICATION is URGED

Pastors of Two of Largest Congre-

Northern and Southern Branches.

OF the Presbyterian Church in the

Rev. DR.. Mark A. Matthews of the

not far off when tie two largest di-
visions of. the church would be merged
DR.. Matthews said there was mo
physical, doctrinal, geographical or ra
cial reason against the union and the
only reason the two divisions have not
already merged was the apathy of some
of the churchmen.
DR.. Hill believed "the present OBJ
stacles to union are very many and
more or less indefinite"

Waterbury Ranks 5Oth, Chicago 68th;
 City Of Toledo Leads
liartfords Percentage Higher Than Brass City With Bridgeport Trifle Lower - Study of Cities Having 100000 Population or More Reveals Interesting Data

I haustive tabulation of Known of fenses,' so it is said and the table of figures compiled is based on re- ports of the Bureau of Investigation of the United States: Department of
 Justice and published in a federal phamplet entitled Uniform Crime | Reports, dated September. 1880. The city of Toledo. Ohio, takes
 first prize for having proportionately the greatest number of known
 crimes. Hartford stands 31st, while Waterbury is 50th and Chicago Is 68th!
 The known crimes considered are CD murder and non-negligent man.
 slaughter; CD nanslaughter by negligence; (3) statutory, (4 rob- CD larceny, (8) auto theft. Waterbury's population Is given
 as 1O1,205, which is not officially ac-
 cucrate, but which would please Andy Cooney and the Chamber of Commerce if 1t were. This city is
 not in the 100000 class. Total num-
 Der of known crimes is given as 995
 and its ratio per 100000 population as 985. Hartford with a population
 of 163,S18 is credited with 2,31G known offenses and is given ratio of 142.0. Bridgeport is 97.4. The information concerning Chi cago of course Is propaganda for the windy City,, but local police officials will certainly disagree with
 MT Rex of the reference library. Wa terbury in major crimes has not had
 three murders in five years. Only one murder was committed here in 1880 and later that charge was changed to manslaughter and the accused after spending few months
 in jail.
 Waterbury lists it's cases concern ing thefts of automobiles rather freely with other municipalities that
 softens the charge to taking without permission.
 MT Rex pays Waterbury the com- i pliment of being a city of over 1O1,- | 900 population but spells the enjoy
 ment of the tribute in attempting to prove that 1t has one of the greatest rates for crimes in proportion to its population than hundreds of other cities.
 The story. however. has been
 countrywide publication and MT Rex
 may be pleased with his efforts. Lo-
 cal officials, however, would un- doubtedly ask for more details as
 to how he arrived at his official con-
 clusions.

BIRTH CONTROL HAS RETURNED TO
 CONGRESS AGAIN
For Over 100 Years This Has Been Agitated- Margaret Sanger Is the Leader of the Old Battle
BY DON A. HIGGINS

United Press Staff Corrcspondcnt)
 Washington, Feb 13-UP)-The birth control problem was brought to congress to-day after more than 100 years of agitation upon the mat ter.
 Led by Margaret Sanger. a group of social scientists, physicians and c!erics appeared before a senate ju- dietary subcommittee seeking a lib- eralized law to permit circulation of birth control advice through medi- cal channels.
 Their case first was stated 133 years ago by the Rev Thomas R. Malthus, English theologist and po- litical economist. He viewed with alarm the increase of population. and gave rise to the Malthusian the ory. now known to most schoolboys.
 Malthus' theory was predicated upon the belief that the more peo- pie there are the less chance a per- son has to progress in this world. He suggested celibacy and delayed marriage ss a remedy.
 Birth control advocates went him one step further, suggesting medical control. This precipitated a century of sensational clashes. Zealots of the cause defied bans, were jailed and went on hunger strikes. With mili- tant protests, they carried their and American. But they failed to get official recognition.
 The movement was given hars blow in this country in 1873. An thony Comstock, young New Eng land purity leader, put through con- gress a bill making it crime to send birth control information through the mails. For AZ years, he fought to enforce this measure until in 1915 he died of over exertion.
 Comstock's triumph over congress came at a time when congress was astir over the credit mobilizer scan- dal. His victory was attained despite the fact that only in a few quarters could the 29-year-old lobbyist look for help.
 ibly written, but he failed to outlive his most active opponent. She is Margaret Sanger, former New York nurse and social worker, who to-day is leading the attack on the ban written by belligerent Comstock.
 Nurse Sanger, privately known as Mrs J. Noah H. Slee since her sec- ond marriage, first defied Comstock in 1914 when she founded the birth control league. She advanced its cause through the magazine known as 'The Woman Rebel" and since has become the world leader of birth control advocates.
 Mrs Sanger crowned her crusade by world tour in 1922, and five years later organized the first world population conference" in Geneva. Switzerland. So widespread has become this work that Dr c. V.

Drysdale. president of the Mall thusian league of London, estimates that 60.00O,000 of the 80,000.000 married people in Europe, Austral- asia and America practice some form of birth control"
 Mrs Sanger's appearance to-day recalled a career in which she was variously arrested. tried and forced to serve sentences for violating Comstock's lav. On one occasion, her first husband was forced to serve her sentence after she fled to Europe. At another time President Wilson. persuaded by friends, halt cd her prosecution.
 She has founded numerous re- stricted clinics on birth control, one of which was raided in New York in 1929.
 Her present aim is to liberalize the Comstock law so doctors and medical schools may give public ad- vice on contraceptive methods. The bill to accomplish this was intro- duced by Senator Gillett, republican, Mass.
 Mrs Sanger's crusade was paral. leled In England in 1877 when Charles Brad.augh. an attorney, and Annie Besant social worker, violat- ed similar English statutes. carried the case before the lord chief justice and succeeded in squashing the in- dictment.

INTRODUCTORY OFFER

The makers of vicks vapoRub an- nounce a new product-based on a brand-new idea. An Introductory supply has been placed with the To- cal druggists and. for limited time, upon presentation of the coupon be- low. you can purchase a full-size soc bottle of Vicks new Nose G Throat Drops for 25c--half-price.
 For several years, the Vicks chem ists and medical consultants have been studying the problem of pre- yention of colds. They were finally convinced that only Nature can pre- vent colds. So long as we live nor- mally, as in summer--with plenty of fresh air, exercise, and sunshine the nose-Nature's "first line of de- fense" against colds-is able to pro- tect us very well. But artificial living in winter often puts too heavy a strain on this delicate organ. until 1t can no longer function normally.
 Why Nature Needs Help
 In the winter we crowd together in over-heated rooms and offices. We breathe in dust and other im- purities from city streets. We are exposed to sudden changes in tenn perature, drafts, wet feet, or unusu- al germ-attack. We lower our vital working. or by too little selep and exercise.
 Aid Natures Own Dcfcnses
 Vicks Nose & Throat Drops are based on this new idea: to keep the nose functioning normally-in win- ter as well as summer. They supply not only an important new aid in preventing colds. but also a helpful adjunct to Vicks VapoRub in treat ing colds which have taken hold"
 Now Scientific "Cold Control''
