Gleimann said he set trap for the

Gleimann followed the spoor into the
forest. He came unexpectedly upon the
beast and 1t sprang upon him.
His cries brought Lovatt Campbell,

lion with the last cartridge in his gun.

The School Board had on hand
$5,250.000 of this fiat currency to meet
unpaid debts of $13,677 900. While
legalized by the signature OF Mayor An

by him as likely to impair the credit of

there was a heavy call for the scrip to-

DECISION ON R. c. A.
LICENSES APPEALED
Milwaukee Stations Petition
Throws Whole Question
Into Litigation.
BY ROBERT MACK.

An eleventh hour appeal from the
Federal Radio Commissions decision
renewing the more than 1,400 radio
station licenses held by subsidiaries of
the Radio Corporation of America was
taken in the Court of Appeals of the
District Of Columbia today by the Mil
waukee Journal. operating broadcasting
station WTMJ in Milwaukee, Wis. The
effect is to throw into litigation the
question Of renewal Of licenses covering
the whole field of radio.
The licenses are held by the National
Broadcasting Co, RCA Communica-
lions, Inc; Radio Marine Corporation
Of America and RCA Victor Co., each
of which is prominent in broadcasting,
television. transoceanic code commune
cation, ship-to-ship communication and
general radio experimental and research
operation.
Holds Refusal Ordered.
Station WTMJ, through its counsel.
Elisha Hanson and Ralph S. Fowler,
contends that the commission was COM
manded to express terms of the radio
law to refuse the renewal of these
licenses because the RCA had been
held by the Federal courts to have vio-
lated the Clayton antitrust law in the
celebrated vacuum tube litigation.
WTMJ Is an applicant before the
commission for the radio channel &C.
cupied by stations WENR and WIS,
both in Chicago. The former station
Is operated by the National Broadcast
ing Co. and the latter has a working
agreement with N. B. C. WTMJ con-
tends that this channel should be as
signed to it in view of the court ruling
in the Vacuum case andsthat the COM
mission ignored the requirement of the
law in renewing the license of WENR
along with the licenses of all other
r. c. A. stations. Although WTMJ has
no interest in the other r. G. A. sta
lions, the entire question of the validity
of all these licenses is raised automatic
ally by the appeal
The commission by 3-to-2 vote on
June 26 absolved the RIGA OF viola
ton of section 10 of the radio act and
ordered renewal of the 1909 licenses
held by the four subsidiaries which for
two months had been in Jeopardy.
Result of Delaware Case.
The case grew out of the decision of
the Delaware Federal courts holding
that the parent RCA Co. had violated
the Clayton act by requiring radio
receiving set manufacturers using its
patent initially to equip their sets with
RCA tubes.
Under the law the Milwaukee Journal
Co. had 20 days in which to note an
appeal and this period expires today.
The Court Of Appeals now is in adj
journment until Fall and the case
therefore will not come up until that
time. In the meantime, 1t is believed
that no new facilities can be awarded
the RCA companies on a permanent
basis during the tendency of the litiga-
ton.

All the banks were closed by govern
ment decree today so Withdrawals might
be halted.
One project which the experts have
suggested Is to bring back into circula-
ton the "rentenmark," which was Ger
many's first currency after the mark
was stabilized in 1928. It was backed
not by gold. but by 5 per cent bonds OF
500 gold marks or multiples thereof,
charged on German agriculture and in
dustry.
Backed by Gold and Exchange.
More than 5000, 000, 900 rentenmarks
were printed and about 1000, 900
circulated, but in 1924 the Reichsbank
absorbed them and issued reichmarks
backed by gold and foreign exchange. SO
that today only about 4oo, 900 renten-
marks are in circulation.
Normally these would have been abb
sorbed by 1912.
BY substituting the rentenmark for
the reischsmark it is hoped to halt in
some degree the flight of capital, for the
rentenmark is domestic tender only.
Besides taking the reichsmark out of
circulation and substituting the renten-
mark. the experts project provides that
the rentenmark could be accepted as
collateral instead of gilt-edged Securi-
ties, SO additional currency could be
put into circulation without causing
imitation.
