Raps Commercial Radio

Ii the advertiser wants to pay forty
or fifty dollars minute to have cheap
stuff broadcast from Boston to San
Diego, that's his business. But it is
distinctly the public's business when
the Federal Radio Commission denies
university the right to broadcast in
formation of real value during evening
hours, because the time after p. m.
is all needed by commercial stations.
Ballyhoo interspersed with thread
bare jazz and moronic dialogue is
forced into millions of homes during
the evening, to the exclusion of
worthwhile entertainment and infor-
nation of value. 1t Us time that Con-
gress kick radio out of the morass of
commercialism and enable better pro-
grams to get on the air.-The Iowa
Publisher.

IN THE ARENA OF

G. o. Z. Prohibition Plank "Cheaply'
Dishonest" and Bars Voters from
EynreSSinu Views an Suhiect
C.E.B.

- We a . NhOaPiF
Dishonest" and Bars Voters from
Expressing Views on Subject
Washington -" "Cheaply dishonest"
and wrapped up in 'woolly words"
are that characterizations by The Ma
tion of the Republican platform
plank on the Eighteenth Amendment.
That frank and outspoken publication
also finds that the voters are not
even given an honest chance to ex-
press their sentiments on the prohi-
bition question under the language
of the G. o. P. plank. The Nations
analysis follows:
when We have unwrapped layer
after layer of woolly words, we find
that the Republican platform does
aot even favor a fortnight submis-
sion Of the issue to the voters, as
even the Democratic minority plaak
proposed. The Republican plank ue-
clares: we do not favor a submis-
sion limited to the issue of retention
or repeal This means that the
voters are not to be given even an
aonest chance to express their pref
arences. The Republican platform
proposes, instead, that an amendment
,e submitted which, while retaining
n the Federal Government power to
preserve the gains already made in
lealing with the evils inherent in the
liquor traffic, shall allow states to
leal with the problem as their citi-
ems may determine.' Nobody can
possibly know what this means. 1t
clear self-contradiction If the
federal Government really allows the
tates to deal with the problem as
heir citizens may determine, then
urely it must relinquish the power
to preserve the gains already made
it retains that power, it cannot
allow the states to deal with the
,roblem 'as their citizens may de-
ermine.' 1t is doubtful if a more
heaply dishonest plank was ever en-
,odied even in the Republican plat
orm before. 1t cannot fail to dis
,ust anyone who has any honest con
ictions on the subject"

Barbara Stanwyck in
$50 BIG"

How will your favorite motion pic
ture actress look as middle-aged
woman?
And here is another question: How
many Of the young and beautiful ac-
tresses Of Hollywood would be willing
to give you peep into the future, to
see what the answer might be?
Well, one at least is willing. She
is Barbara Stanwyck; and because
Barbara is not just young and charm
ing and comely, but a capable actress
as well, she has not shrunk from the
test of playing a difficult role minus
all the advantages Of her golden youth.
In $50 Big, Barbara is seen first as
a young girl, Selma Peake, fresh and
full Of the spirit Of life and hopeful-
ness. Then the years pass, and in the
final scenes Of the picture you will be-
hold her with gray hair, veteran in
the battle of life. Included in the cast
are George Brent, Bette Davis. Mae
Madison, Hardie Albright, Dorothy
Peterson and many other favorites.
