RADIO. DEBATED
ASAD MEDIUM

Senator C. C. Dill, Washington,
foremost authority in the Senate
on radio developments. told the
American Association of Advertis-
ing Agencies at the Mayflower to-
day, that there should be no con-
flict between radio and newspaper
advertising because they are wide
ly different mediums.
They should supplement rather
than oppose each other, he said,
since each makes its special ap-
peal and the combination is ordi-
nsrily highly effective.
Radio advertising, he said, is
entirely different from printed ad;
vertising: it is a "mouth-to-ear'
advertising which calls on the Gre
ative ability of those who prepare
it's programs to approach the lis
tener from ~ new angle.

Furlough and Pay Cutting Provisions Contain
 ed in Measure APPROPRIATIONS
 CAUSING WORRY
Many Departmental Bills Carrying Large Amounts
 Are in Conference

WASHINGTON, June 29. - The National Economy Bill, carrying an estimated savings of $150,000,000 to SITS 100000 has been approved by the Senate by a vote of 35 to II.
 Meanwhile an agre m mt in bringing the $2,30O,OO00oo Unem- ployment Relief Bill nearer con- formance with President Hoover's views has been reached by the Senate and House conferees.
 Starts Friday
 The Economy Bill will probably go to the White House in time to start the fiscal year Friday.
 AS finally approved, the bill car ries the McDuffie provision, ap- proved by the Administration, a plan of furloughing for one month without pay all Federal workers making more than $1,OO0 year.
 The bill also reduced the salaries of Senators and Representatives 10 per cent; of the Speaker and Vice. President Is per cent; of employees in the legislative branch who can not be furloughed and who make from $1,0O0 to $10,000 year, 8 1-3 pei cent.
 High Salaries Cut
 Other Federal workers who can not be spared or who can not be grouped under the furlough provi- sion receive these cuts:
 Ten thousand dollars to $12,000, 10 per cent; $12,000 to $15,000, 12 per cent; $15,000 to $20,000, Is per cent; $2O,000 and over, 20 per cent. The bill applies the same reduc- tions to retired pay of army and navy officers and Judges, except those whose salaries are fixed by the Constitution. These, however, along with the President, will be allowed to return to the Treasury anything they choose.
 More Bills Worrying
 Despite the action of the Sen ate, hope is being lost regarding adjournment this week. Leaders are worrying principally about the deadline marking the end of the fiscal year, tomorrow night, with the possibility that all funds of the Government may not be avail able.
 The War Department and Agri- culture bills are tied up in con- ference deadlocks.
 Some Bills Approved
 The billion dollar Treasury and Post Office Supply Bill has been approved by the Senate, next to the last of the ten annual appro- priation bills requiring the Sen ate approval. The bill goes to a conference with the House to ad- just differences.
 The second deficiency bill now awaits action. Most of the other bills are in conference

CHICAGO, Ill, June 29.-Urging the party to gird itself to lead the country back to prosperity United States Senator Thomas J Walsh, of Montana, became Perm anent Chairman of the Demo- Eeratle National Convention late yesterday "a fte r n oon, defeating Jouett Shouse.
 The man who swung the gavel in New York in 1924 in the long est Democratic meeting, assailed the Republican policies of the last three Administrations.
 General Criticism
 Chairman Walsh criticised the high tariffs, fiscal policies and at titude of the Government toward agricultural and industrial relief.
 With a callous indifference, ev- cry appeal for relief has been ig- nored or rejected until forced to yield by political necessity" said Senator Walsh.
 The Chairman called for a re- turn of the policies of Jefferson and cited a long list of Democrat notables to prove the Republicans have no monopoly of talent"
 "It is no particularly compliment to any individual in the galaxy of statesmen whose names have been mentioned in connection with the nomination you are about to make for President to say his public carer has shown him to be at least equal to one of the last three incuments that exalted that office" concluded Senator Walsh
