 After some research, it has been discovered where Clise Dudley, the handsome ex-Brooklyn finger now with the Phillies, acquired his un- usual first name.
 Tom Shriver of the Philadelphia Record is authority for the story that Dudley's father and a partner named Clyse, prospected for gold somewhere in the Carolina S Whether or not they found gold they remained close friends, hence the. selection of name for the younger Dudley.

SIGN BILL HEARING
IS SET FOR TODAY
Commissioners Want Action
in Time to Prepare for
BicentenniaI.

Conferees were scheduled to meet
late today on the District signboard
regulation bill in an effort to reach a
final agreement on amendments pro-
posed by Corporation Counsel w. w.
Bride to overcome whatever doubts may
exist as to the validity of the legisla-
ton.
Senator Capper, chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, who is one
of the confereeS, was hopeful that an
agreement would be reached satisfac-
tory to both houses in time for the
early enactment of the measure. Dis
trict officials are prepared to take steps
to appoint a committee to draw up the
authorized regulations governing out
door advertising signs within the Dis
trict as soon as the bill is finally passed.
The other conferees are Senator Jones
of Washington and Senator King OF
Utah; Representative Zihlman, chair
man of the House District Committee;
Representative Hall of Indiana and
Representative Mary T. Norton of New
Jersey. The chief point of difference
involves the regulation of signs on pri-
vate property. The House had included
within the scope of the regulation all
signs within public view" and the SEN
ate committee inserted Brides sugges-
ton that it be changed so as to pre-
vent the display or erection OF signs
within 500 feet Of public ways.
The District Commissioners are eager
for the enactment of the bill during the
present session so that the regulations
can be enforced before the opening of
the Washington Bicentennial celebra-
ton. without more regulatory powers
they would be helpless to clean up con-
ditions caused by outdoor advertising
in connection with the Federal plans
for beautifying the city and its highway
entrances.

ROME BLAMEs FRANCE.
Puts Building Race Responsibility Up
to Paris.

ROME, February 10 R.-French en-
thusiasm for a bigger feet is con-
sidered in official quarters here as a
distinct setback to efforts for dis
armament and permanent peace, but
nothing has occurred to move Italy
from her long standing determination
to maintain naval parity with France.
In well informed circles it is said
that italy is ready for long building
holiday If France wishes 1t, but still is
prepared to duplicate every new fight
ing unit France puts on the seas. Italy
prefers a naval holiday to a naval race,
it is asserted, but takes the position
that France is forcing the issue with
her present naval program, and par
ticularly with the present big-navy dis
position Of the French Parliament and
the French public. Of1cials here have
commented that France alone is out of
tune with the worldwide hymn TO
peace through disarmament.
France, 1t is emphasized here, never
has been forced by Italy into what ap-
pears to be her trend toward a naval
race. 1t is reiterated that Dino Grandi's
offer of naval truce is still open and
could run to 1886, giving an oppor-
tunity for adjustment Of the Franco
italian differences
Government circles have expressed
belief that the world Is beginning to
realize that France instead of Italy is
responsible for the present situation.

SELECTS 8 STATIONS
FOR CLEARED BANDS
Examiner Yost Recommends WIZ,
wCAU, wsB, wsM, wGN, wCCo,
KP0 and K0A for $4,000 Watts.

BY the Associated Press.
Chief Examiner Yost recommended to
the Radio Commission today the filling
Of eight unoccupied 50,000-watt posi-
tons on clear channels by the following
stations:
WIZ, New York, first zone; WCAU,
Philadelphia, second zone; WSB, At
lanta, and WSM, Nashville, third zone;
WGN, Chicago; WCCO. Minneapolis,
fourth zone; KPO. San Francisco, and
KOA, Denver, fifth zone
He also advocated allowance for the
following stations to increase their
power to $4,000 watts:
First zone, WBZ, Boston; WHAM,
Rochester; WOR, Newark; second zone,
WHAS, Louisville; third zone. WHIT,
Charlotte, N. c.; WAPI, Birmingham;
KVOO, Tulsa; fourth zone, WMAQ,
Chicago; fifth zone, KSL, Salt Lake,
and KGO, Oakland.
Early in February, Yost had recon-
mended that 20 of "a stations which
had applied for 50,000-watt power be
granted permission to use that amount
in broadcasting.
The commission refused to consider
the recommendations and returned the
report to Yost with instructions to re-
wise 1t and allocate the eight remaining
positions on cleared channels through
out the country to eight stations.
The new report has to be acted upon
by the Radio Commission before it
can become effective.

SCISSORS Of wine have become suspicious
Of the agent, fearing that he was not an
accredited agent producing concern
specified in receipts.
Louis Rothschild, director of the Bet
ter Business Bureau, today sent a let
ter of inquiry to California Investigators
to find out about this point.
A local physician and other profess
sional men are listed among the COM
plainants. The agent is said to have
revealed a list of doctors who had given
him orders for the grape wine proudct
and to have talked about how Mrs.
Mable Walker Willebrandt, counsel for
Fruit Industries, Inc, was attending to
the legality of the business.
The complaining physicians and
others report that. they gave the sup
posed agent prepayment of $3.50, re-
ceiving in return a receipt, signed only
by the last name of the man purporting
to be the agent of one Of the producing
concerns. The remainder of the price

Salesman Complaining.
A checkup today of local Offices of
concerns selling the wine-making juice
failed to reveal the name given by the
agent on the cases on which complaints
have been made.
While the bureau here was trying to
determine whether the complaints were
due merely to delay in shipments, or to
Misrepresentation on the part of a con-
fidence man, 1t was revealed that or
ganized grape products concerns were
alive to a fake agent racket"
The local sales manager for one ma
tional fruit juice company said he had
received a number of complaints from
his statesmen regarding the activities
of fake statesmen, and that investiga-
ton revealed the identity of one con-
f1dence man. He estimated that about
20 such frauds" have been at work
here, selling orders for grape products,
but which they couldn't deliver.
To combat this situation, 1t was re-
ported, this Acknowledgement has set
up an Intelligence" department in New
York for the purpose of bringing fake
agents to justice.
The concern said all of its statesmen
had lived for at least five years in
Washington and that they required full
payment IN advance, promising heliv-
cry In two weeks.

DAVIS WILL START
POWER SUIT SOON
Counsel for Senate in Con-
troversy With Hoover Due
Here Shortly.

John w. Davis, Democratic presi-
dental candidate in 1924, will come to
Washington in few days to assume
his duties as special counsel of the
Senate in its court contest with Presi-
dent Hoover over the right of Chair
man George Otis Smith of the Power
Commission to hold Office. The Sen
ate asserts the right to reconsider his
confirmation.
The selection of Davis and his. &C
ceptance was announced yesterday by
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana,
leader Of the Senate group opposing
DR.. Smith. Mr.. Davis was chosen by
a subcommittee Of the Senate Judiciary
Committee. composed of Senators Nor
ris, Republican, of Nebraska; Steiwer,
Republican, Of Oregon, and Walsh.
The case, which in the end will
likely be decided by the Supreme Court,
legal battle is expected, with Attorney
General Mitchell as the possible OPP
ponent of Davis. President Hoover
contends the Senate is trying to invade
his authority.
The Senate so far has appropriated
only $4,000 for counsel fees, but 1t may
authorize more later.
The dispute between the Senate and
the President over Smiths nomination
arose from the dismissal of two en-
ployes of the commission, Charles A
Russell, solicitor, and william ". King
chief accountant, whom many Senators
regarded as valuable public servants. >
King was later reinstated.
Many Senators who voted with the
President on the Smith case have eX-
pressed desire for court test to de-
eide the issue, which they consider more
important than the mere question OF
whether Smith shall retain Office.

Appeals was planned today for the re-
lease of Harold D. "Three-gun" Will
son, deputy prohibition administrator
Tor Delaware. who is in custody of
United States Marshal Hanratty,
charged with contempt of court.
The deputy administrator was held
in contempt yesterday by Federal Judge
John P. Nields at Wilmington when he
refused, at the direction of the court,
10 name the member of the Democratic
League Club who gave him the key he
used In raiding the clubs headquarters
In Wilmington last October.
To Seek Revocation Of Order.
Wilson spent last night in the custody
OF Marshal Hanratty at the latter's
nome In Smyrna, Del, United States
District Attorney Leonard E. Wales of
Wilmington, announced that he would
ask the Court of Appeals, sitting in the
city, to revoke the contempt order until

a telephone conference with John d.
1eHIlluslOIl, pFOIADlLlOn ADMINISTRATOR
for Pennsylvania, Delaware and New
Jersey, and with the office of the ma
tional administrator in Washington,
said the case had become one of the
most important in the department.
Pennington asserted that there had
been many decisions handed down by
Federal district courts to the effect that
police officers" are not required to
divulge the source of information by
which they obtain evidence.
Wilson'S refusal to disclose the owner
of the key was made during the hear
ing of a suit by the Democratic League
Club in which it seeks the return of
property seized during the raid. The
club contends the property was OBJ
tanned illegally.
II have the utmost respect for the
court but I refuse the information

said the profit to the company is not
more than one-third Of q cent per
quart bottle.
While the retail price for bottled milk
is is cents a quart, he said the average
price for all bottled milk, wholesale and
retail, Is about IA cents. He declared
that whenever there has been a reduc-
ton in the cost of the company's raw
material it has been passed on to con-
sumers, but that there has not been
reduction in raw material which could
be passed on.
Mr.. Thompson also said the basic
price to the farmer has remained at
SO cents, plus premiums for farm
scores, during the past three and one
half years, and told the committee
Washington milk Is not in competition
with milk from other markets, because
local dairymen must get their milk from
farms which have permits from the
Health Department.
Commenting on the testimony that
the farmers Of Maryland and Virginia
serving Washington have received the
same basic price for more than three
years, Chairman Capper said:
"I think Senator Frazier and can
rejoice in the fact that there is one
place where farmers have not had their
prices cut down."
Prefers Competition.
When Mr.. Thompson said his dairy
was remaining an independent one,
Senator Capper asked II he thought he
would meet hard competition.
Competition is the life Of trade, -
Thompson replied.
John McGill, jr., Of the Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers Association,
which serves Washington with its sup
ply, said the farmers basic price from
Washington has remained unchanged
since May, 1927. The price for sur
other than fluid purposes, ductuateS
from month to month, according to
conditions.
Senator Capper told McGill this
seemed TO be the best example of CO.
operative marketing he had ever seen,
and congratulated the organization on
what 1t is doing for its farmers.
McGill testified the quality of Wash
ington milk has been raised materially
since Congress passed the regulatory
law of 1925. He described in detail the
sanitary requirements adhered to on
the dairy farms supplying Washington.
Brawner said that during the drought
his company has loaned thousands OF
dollars TO the dairy farmers to buy feed
and equipment.
The statement of the Great Atlantic
& Pacific Tea Co. regarding its bread
prices said the whole-wheat loaf in the
Eastern division stores was reduced
from 10 to cents. Comparable reduc-
tons were made in the $4,000 stores
served by the company's 81 bakeries. II
was further stated in connection with
the introduction OF the A. g. p. Scent
loaf in Washington, that experts esti-
mate the effect of this move on the
price of bread generally here will be
a saving of $780, 900 to consumers.
r. Smith Snader, president Of the
Maryland State DairymenS Association
Baltimore, said his organization supplied
from 95 to 80 per cent Of the milk that
Baltimore consumes. He declared the
basic price paid the producers had not
been changed in four and one-hal1
