PARIS. June 15.-A cyclonic storm,
In which the excursion boat st.
Philbert was lost, swept the western
coast Of France yesterday and produced
strange atmospheric disturbances In the
interior.
In Paris and suburbs the populace
experienced one Of the most sultry,
depressing days in years. Late in the
afternoon squalls changed the torrid
heat to cold and sent spirals Of wind
across this section.
The blast hit channel resorts as well
as the Brittany coast. Many Americans
in such places as Paris-Plage and
Trouville were caught in Sandstorms
which filled eyes with sand and
caused great discomfort. At Granville.
Normandy. the sky was overcast by o
black pail and thunderShowerS oc-
CURED, accompanied by hailstones near
ly- as large as hens eggs. The lower
quarters were inundated and the streets
became torrents Of water.
The violence Of the storm was shown
by an accident at Dunkirk. An auto
mobile literally was swept from the
highway and dropped into q canal. Two
Belaians, O man and q woman, were
drowned and two other women saved
their lives by breaking their way out
Of the car.

RADIO MEN FIGHT
LOSS OF LICENSES
Commission Told Damage to
r. c. A. Subsidiaries Would
Be IrreparabIe.
By the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
Representatives of Radio Corporation
Of America subsidiaries told the Radio
Commission today that any ruling to
prevent them from using the 1,4o9
licenses they now hold, would irrepar-
ably harm their business.
The commission heard these state
ments rs 1t opened hearings in its ef-
fort to determine whether it can renew
the licenses since the r. C. A. has been
held by United States appellate court
In Delaware to have violated the Clay
ton ANTITRUST act in the tube clause
Of its contracts.
The District of Columbia Supreme
Court last week refused the r. c. A. a
preliminary injunction to prevent the
hearings. but Justice Bailey said he
might grant the Injunction later II de-
velopments warranted.
Fears Loss Of Frequencies.
william A. Winterbottom, vice presi-
dent and general manager OF r. G. A,
Communications, Inc. said his COM
pany now holds ia operating, II
experimental and marine relay
licenses. If these were not renewed,
ne said, the frequencies likely would be
lost to the United States.
Even q 24-hour suspension, he added.
would ruin the service" He said 1t
would be impossible to estimate the loss
If all stations his company now operates
were closed.
Winterbottom contended American
inventors and the public would lose the
benefit Of much research work his COM
pany now conducts in It's operations.
Among other things, he said. foreign
programs which now are relayed over
National Broadcasting Co. chains would
be lost.
When he had concluded, Representa-
tive Reid Of Illinois asked the commits
sion to rule out the entire testimony on
the ground it had no reference to the
point ct issue.
Point to BE Determined.
The commission, Reid asserted, is at
attempting to determine whether the
radio act specification that licenses may
not be granted to those finally adjudged
guilty in q Federal court OF monopoliz-
ing or attempting to monopolize, radio
communications should be applied to
the r. G. A. subsidiaries.
The Winterbottom statement, he add
ed, was combination Of phrases show
ing how wonderful they are"
President M. H. Aylesworth Of the
National Broadcasting Co. said the loss
to his company would run into mil
lions" II It's license were revoked. He
said his company's gross income reached
sac. 0OO, 900 in 1880, giving small profit
for the FIRST time since 1t was organized.
Discussing experimental work, Ayles-
worth said researchers for his concern
expect to bring television into the
practical field within the next year"
To continue this research work, he con-
tended, the 1l2 experimental licenses
Of the company must be retained.
Among other future activities which
depend upon license renewal, Alyesworth
placed development of facilities In Radio
City, now being planned for New York
City.

Appeals for financial aid have reached
the Agriculture Department from North
Dakota and Montana. Reopening Of

Crops were reported to be facing
complete ruin and farmers In serious
plight The Department replied there
was no authority for reopening the
loans, inaSmuch rs the season for plant
ing crops has passed. It also was point
e.: ont that crop destruction by the
drought had removed Government Sc
curity for loans.
Requests for additional loans also
have been made from single counties IN
Texas, Missouri, South Carolina and
Georgia. In the two latter States some
farmers have suffered hail damage.

HOOVER PRAISES
|. ADVERTISING ROLE
Declares It Aids Standard Of
Living in Message to
Convention.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 16.--Advertising's
role In helping raise Americas standard
Of living, stimulating. invention and
maintaining competition was praised
today by President Hoover in a mes
sage TO the Advertising Federation Of
America.
The message, which was read ct the
luncheon opening the organizations an
nuaE convention, follows:
1T seems to me most appropriate that
at your annual convention you propose
to clarity the function OF advertising
as an economic force, so that its bene-
Ats may be better understood, not only
by those who employ it, but by the pub
lie, to which in the aggregate it rem
ders its greatest service.
Raises Living Standard.
Advertising has played an import
ant part In raising our standard Of
living, in stimulating invention, and IN
maintaining competition. BY promot-
ing production and distribution, 1t has
brought within the reach Of many the
COIIlIOIlS At1Q COuSCEAC1lCCb RhCEAOuoAy
enjoyed by the few.
aThe theme Of your convention Is
especially timely because OF the part
sound constructive advertising Is bouno
to play in accelerating the return OF
normal business activity"
advertising Business Tonic"
visualinng advertising as tonic for
ailing business, Gilbert T. Hodges, pres.
ident of the Advertising Federation OF
America. today urged that 1t get back
on q full time working basis and help
restore the Nations buying power.
Sounding what Is expected to be the
keynote of the convention Of the fed
Grafton, Mr., Hodges asserted: "Adver-
Using must release our people from the
letters Of fear and from apprehension
that Jobs are endangered"
by so doing. 1t will turn loose the
enormous buying power OF the Ameri-
can people"
Halt Dramatization."
Mr.. Hodges, who is a member Of the
executive board of the New York Sun,
demanded that negative and destruc-
tive advertising which dramAttzes hard
times and unemployment be halted.
I'VE must dispel the fear Of DOGGY
man and restore confidence" he said.
And the FIRST step in that accomplish
ment is to stop negative and destruc-
tive advertising-we must stop adver-
Using hard times-we must stop adver-
Using unemployment-we must stop ad-
vertising loss Of jobs and lowering Of
wages"
Wage Cuts Not solution.
Urging industry to grapple with this
problem and do everything in its power
to maintain wages and employment, Mr..
Hodges said cutting wages was not the
solution; 1t only makes serious situa-
ton worse.
He also decried advocacy Of further
reduction in prices. Price cuts lead to
further wage reductions which in turn
lead to further loss Of buying power,
which means further reduction In bust
ness and profits, he said.

Never did anything strike US with such
suddenneSs as this upheaval. which
broke out with amazing speed In the

Provincial forces" he wrote, seek

feated by bandits from Kiangsi Prov
ince. Their ranks were shattered by
provincial troops, forcing the latter to
retreat eastward. The retreat became

Three thousand of the hopelessly out
