latively with other means than

Declaring against anything
approaching Federal "dOle" to
meet unemployment, against any
tinkering with the tariff, any
extension of Federal financing to
meet the business crisis, he took
the position that the less govern.
mental interference with natural
economic laws at this time the
better.
On tariff reform and the issue
OF power control particularly did
he challenge his critics, saying:
"Shall we undertake Federal
ownership and operation Of pub
lie utilities instead of the rigor.
Gus regulation of them to pre-.
vent imposition? Shall we pro-
tect our people (thrOugh the
tariff from the lower stand

tries? Shall the Government
enter into business processes in
competition with its citizens?
Shall we establish a dole from
the Federal Treasury"
He answered a vigorous mo- to
all these interrogatories.
Administration Objectives
Then he asserted that his Ad-
ministration had bent its en-
deavors toward helping people to
help themselves, "by inspiring CO.
operation in the community to
sustain good will and keep our
country free of disorder and con-
flict."
AS for the business depression
itself, Mr.. Hoover ventured the
opinion that it was passing, but
he offered no opinion as to when
it will be ended definitely and
normal times restored. The great
est need in the country today, he
asserted, was more confidence in
the inherent strength of Ameri-
can institutions and the future Of
the country.

heard Mr.. Hoover deliver the
maiden speech of his four-day

RIGHTS
R.C.A. and Interveners to Use
Two Hours Each Today Be-
fore Board for Arguments

The Radio Corporation of Am
erica today opened it's legal ap-
peal before the Federal Radio
Commission for renewal of oper.
ating licenses which the recent
order of Federal district court
in Delaware threatens to deny.
The radio corporation was held
q violator Of section 13 Of the
Radio Act, which provides that
any concern or persons violating
trust laws shall be denied
license.
The Supreme Court upheld the
decision by refusing to review the
case.
Only Good Till July Is
The hearing before the Radio
Commission was called to deter
mine whether, under that section,
1t will be possible to renew R.C.A.
operating licenses. At present
they are in effect until July is
under a temporary order.
Already five hours of hearings
have filled records with economic
pleas of the radio corporation.
Executives of its various sub
SidiarieS, the National Broadcast
ing Company, RadiOmarine Cor
pOration of America, R.C.A. Victor
Co., and R.C.A. Communications,
Inc, told the commission that to
deny licenses to R.C.A. would
throw the American radio and
communications world into chaos.
Priority Channels
Headed by William Winterbot-
tom, vice president and general
manager of Radio Corporation
of America Communications, and
M. H. AyleSworth, president OF
the National Broadcasting Com
pany, the corporation said not
only would millions be lost should
the licenses be denied, but that
America might lose its interna-
tional position in the communica-
tions world.
It is said the United States
holds most of its international
radio channels largely through
priority, and that once these
channels, used by Radio Corpora
ton of America, we're discon-
tinued, dozens of foreign coun-
tries would use them.
Today both the radio corpora
tion and the interveners oppos
ing it were to have two hours in
which to present argument.
Interveners are headed by Os-
wald r. Schuette, executive secre-
tary of the Radio Protective AssO-
citation, and Representative Frank

Submarine in Tow of WarShip
Due in Iceland Next Week;
All Aboard Reported Well

COBB, Ireland, June 16
Q.NS0-Inhabitants of this port
today were eagerly anticipating
the arrival of Sir Hubert VIII
kins' Polar submarine Nautilus,
being towed here by the Ameri-
can battleship Wyoming.
According to latest reports,
however, it will take a least a
week for the underwater craft
to arrive at this port. She was
proceeding today in this direc-
tiOn at the rate of about eight
knots.
Disabled in Mid.Ocean
The Nautilus broke down in
mid-ocean when her starboard
engine refused to function. The
b a t ships Wyoming and
Arkansas, under command of
Rear Admiral Claude c. Bloch,
went to her assistance and the
steamships Roosevelt and Inde-
pendence Hall also responded.
When the Nautilus arrives off
Cobb, a local tug will set out
to relieve the Wyoming of her
tow. permitting the battleship to
proceed to Copenhagen, where
she and the Arkansas are due
June %. The two war craft
have midshipmen of the Naval
Academy on their annual for
eign cruise aboard.
The latest wireless message
from Admiral Bloch picked up
here said that Sir Hubert was
attempting to repair the mechan.
ism of his craft, with which he
expects to cross the North Pole
under the ice of the Polar Sea.
All aboard the submarine were
reported well.
Previous Ill Luck Recalled.
Sir Hubert'S ill-luck on his
previous exploration of the arctic
was recalled here today. Before
he finally crossed the pole by air

ever, was expected here to carry
him through. should a voyage
under the pole be humanity pos
sible.

When Lady wilkins, whose hus-
bands polar submarine, Nautilus,
disabled, is being towed to Cobb,
Ireland, debarked from the liner

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Tnsistence
that active and effective measures
be taken to end the reign of Grim

editorial appeal of William Ran
dolph Hearst that gangsters and
racketeers be suppressed.
Two definite ideas stood out
from the many constructive sug-
gestions that were offered. One
was reiterated demand for the
control of the manufacture and
sale of deadly weapons. The other
was to call for vigorous action
in deporting criminal aliens.
Stressed by Wagner
These two points were stressed
specifically by Senator Robert F.
Wagner. who characterized pres

ment of the entire nation.
District attorneys of Greater
New York pledged their co-opera-
ton in any drive against gang

District Attorney Mclaughlin, of
the Bronx, emphasized the need
of drastic revision in criminal
practice by attorneys. Mr.. Nc.
Laughlin placed squarely on the
shoulders of those who defend
gangsters much of the blame for
the present situation.
Even more pointed was the
statement of Federal Attorney
Forman, of New Jersey.
Enforcement Asked
Enforcement of the laws as they
exist, Mr.. Forman believes, will
solve the problem. but he empha-
sized that those laws must be en-.

"Our recent immigration laws

many criminal citizens"
Gov. B. Ely, of Massachusetts,

FROM POUCH

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 GN.SD.
Authorities are searching for a
package containing $4,000 in
currency, which disappeared from
a mail pouch arriving here on
the liner Mauretania from Mas
Sau, Bahamas, on June 8.
The package was consigned to
the New York branch of the
Royal Bank of Canada. The
seals on the pouch were unbroken
and there was no evidence of
tampering when the pouch was
delivered to postal authorities, it
was learned. Later, when the
outside pouch was opened, the
inner pouch was found to have
been slit and smaller leather
bag inside had been cut open.
The robbery was believed to
have occurred in Nassau, as the
seals were intact when the pack
age was placed on board the
Mauretania and in the same con-
dition when taken from the liner.
