portant branches of domestic busi-
ness.

"peaks" by another wave Of selling.
Cuited States Steel dropped back
to 42h and Bethlehem to its start
ing point at 2l5s.
New Low for Utility
Weakness in the utility stocks
was concentrated in United Gas

utility holding companies, which
fell off under heavy selling pres

listing on the big board.

to rally and Columbia Gas and
Electric dipped to a new low at 43.

REVISION OR CHAOS.

debt and reparations revisions, if
not actual cancellation.
The Wiggin committees sugges-
tion-so put because the committee
was not authorized to make any
proposals Of a-political nature-ex-
pressed concretely, however, the
nebulouS undertone of comment 60
ing the rounds in the capital.
It was the first suggestion of the
sort put forward by any official
group since the Young plan, and
was viewed here as far more radical
in its implications than the Yong
plan, in view of international po-
litical and economic developments
since then.
The suggestion, however, is only a
first and very tentative step toward
revision or cancellation. Parlia-
ments have the final say, and that
say, informed circles here predicted,
will have decidedly political tone.
Whether the detached views of
economic experts can be made to
sway the political minds of legisla-
tors here and abroad is a matter of
considerable doubt.

United Press stan Correspondent

FRENCH LICK, Aug. 19.-Martin
H. Carmody; Grand Rapids attor-
ney, today was reelected supreme
knight of the Knights Of Column
bus at the forty-ninth annual con-
vention.
BY unanimous vote Carmody was
retained in the office he has held
for two terms of two years each
since his first election in 1927.
All other officers were reelected.
They were: Deputy supreme
knight, John F. Martin, Green Bay,
Wis; supreme secretary, William
J. Mckinley, New Haven, Conn;
supreme treasurer, David j. Gala
han, New Haven, Conn; supreme
advocate, Luke E. Hart. st. Louis:

preme physician, DR.. Edward F. Fa-
hey, st. Paul, Mimi, and supreme
warden, David F. Supple, San Fran
cisco.
The delegates have yet to vote for
the supreme directors, but it was
indicated the present board would
remain in office.
Washington appeared the strong
est bidder for the fiftieth conven-
ton next year, despite efforts of the
Los Angeles delegation to hold the
meeting in California at the time of
the Olympic games.
1t was suggested that next years
meeting, if held at Washington,
could become a part of the nation
al observance of the 20Oth birthday
anniversary of George Washington.
Selection of the convention city,
however, will be left to the directors,
who will act after the convention
closes.
The committee on resolutions was
expected to introduce some 125 pro-
posals to the convention late today,
with vote by delegates scheduled for
Thursdays session. 1t is understood
that the vote merely would ratify
the recommendations of the COM
mittee.

Emergency Calls Flashed
on Air by Dispatcher at
Mike

One finger controls the crime of
Indianapolis.
One lever which is operated by
that finger chases down burglars,
watches providers, stops martial
spats, dog fights and hauls in
DRINKS to police headquarters.
And the man with that finger and
at that lever is c. A. Beeson, radio
operator, at the police radio station
in Willard park Shown in the up
per photo).
When Blossoms eight-hour shift is
over there's another operator and
another finger that substitutes at
the control wheel of a citys crime.
But the one lever always does but
one thing, and that is opening the
circuit so that Beeson and the other
operators can tell police squad cars
where to go on emergency calls.
Captain Relays Call
Police chauffeur Cy Macy is
shown in the lower photo receiv-
ing call in the "hot-shot" car at
police headquarters.
Dispatching car to a gang-fight
is as easy as getting a cup of coffee
out of a New York automat.
The call on the gang-fight is re-
ceived over the telephone at po-
lice headquarters by the Gamewell
operator. He transfers the call to
the Office of the captain of police
on duty.
The captain picks up his desk
mike" and opening the circuit re-
lays the call on the air and through
the radio station, where Beeson is
on duty. Beeson repeats the cap
tain'S instructions to squad cars.
System Change Studied
The result is that every order
given to police cars by radio is re-
peated twice and sometimes three
and four times. The police captain
gives the first order and Beeson and
his co-operators do the repeating.
1t is planned to change the radio
system shortly and relieve the po-
lice captain from the duty of giving
the mike" orders by placing a dis
patcher at police headquarters.
Although a dispatcher may be
used Beeson and his operators will
continue to have the last word in
repeating calls over the radio.

whom Hoover referred the letter.
Castle said simply: "All that it is
possible to say now is that no ne

Roosevelt in Albany said he con-
sidered Castles note personal" and
intilnated he still was awaiting a
direct answer from the President.

FORCING WATER
ISSUE TO FORE
New York Governor Pushes
Hoover'S Hand Over
Power Development.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The
issue of public development Of water
power was drawn sharply today
between President Hoover and Gov
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt OF
New York, leading contestant for
the Democratic presidential nom
ination in 1882.
Roosevelt is an ardent advocate
of government development of pow
er resources. Hoover long has OPP
posed it.
The two we're brought into direct
conflict on the question by publica-
ton of a letter from Roosevelt to
Hoover, concerning negotiations be-
tween the United States and
Canada on the st. Lawrence water
way project.
Roosevelt made the letter public
in Albany after the White House
for days had denied it had been
received and had refused to disclose
its content.
Reiterates N. Y. View
The letter reiterated New York
states view that it should be repre-
sented in the negotiations because
of its plans to build a great state
owned power project on the st.
Lawrence. Roosevelt asked Hoover,
in effect, if it were true the federal
government planned to exclude the
state from representation by con-
Quoting the negotiations through
secret diplomatic channels.
The power angle of the situation
was emphasized in a communication
from Frank P Walsh, chairman of
the New York power authority,
which Roosevelt included in his
letter to the President.
Walsh said:
1--WE must repeat with definite
emphasis that We adhere to the be-
lief that a representative of New
York should take part in the ne
gotiationS in view of the fact that
state-OWned power development is
equally involved with the naviga-
ton plans of the federal govern
ment."
Awaiting Direct Reply
Roosevelt then added:
TN view of this whole matter, in
which concur, I would greatly
appreciate it if you would be good
enough to advise me of the status
of negotiations between the United
States and Canada relating to
drafting of a treaty covering the
development of the st. Lawrence
river in the international section
for navigation and power purposes. y
