This may be solution! A new music publishing company has been formed with an eye to overcoming the mOnOtOnOus repetition of the same songs over the air. A plan has been evolved to have regulated the number of times its songs are played before the mikes, to stop stations from using its re- cOrdings, and to cOnfine its ''plugs'' to capable artists and musicians.
 In this plan may be the end of the present quick death of worthwhile songs. A number is published and catches pub- lie fancy. Bing Crosby crOOns it beautifully over a network, then Joe Nitwit renders it limb from limb over a 25-watt local station. While Cab Galloway gives it n masterful rendition, Hotcha Harrison and his Four DischOrders make an unrecog-

MILK PLAN IN
 EFFECT TODAY

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 3-(UP)- The quota plan of the State Milk control board was in effect today, but members of the producer-deal- CTS association had been advised by their leaders to continue in bus mess as in the past and to refuse to pay any money into pools. The members were advised there was no objection to them sending re- ports to the milk board.
 If the producers refuse to bear their share of the milk purplus it is expected the board will take ac- ton to enforce its order, after which the association probably will take the matter into court for a test of the boards powers.

HIGH PRICES FOR TROLLEY
 FARES

Moscow-(UP)-The only item in the Muscovite's budget which held out against the rising tide of high prices has at last succumbed. Trolley-car fares, which for five years had remained 10 kopeks, re- gardless of the length of the haul, now have been put on a zone basis, which for most workers will mean from 100 to 200 per cent increase.

Man Lies Down on Ice as Friends
Plod so Miles.
FORT WILLIAM, Ontario, December
81 R.-Battling blizzard conditions in
30-below-Zero weather, Tony Neborak,
%. saved two companions, but a third
fell victim to frost and storm on the
wind-swept ice of Nipigon Bay.
Police learned the story of struggle
of the four men today-how they set
out to work in lumber camp, became
lost in a blizzard, ran short of food
and finally plodded so miles before
finding cabin where trapper lived.
Fred Harbon Of Fort William died
on the Nipigon Bay ice. Joe Serbian
and Mike Dhlacsoc were rescued after
Neborak's pleadings to keep moving"
had kept Dhlacsoc walking and inspired
Serbian to arise and fight the stern.
The four men left Coughlin, six miles
camp on st. Ignace Island. in Nipigon
Bay. They carried only few sand
wiches.
Rapidly the men lost strength as the
blizzard grew in intensity. Harbon and
Serbian became exhausted and lay down
on the ice. Neborak and Dhlacsoc
warned death would overtake them, but
their pleadings to keep moving were
futile. Fearing death of sI, Neborak
and Dhlacsoc went on.
Dhlacsoc became tired and wanted
to lie down and rest but Neborak urged
him to plod toward St Ignace Island
They missed the island and struck land
at Quincy, 20 miles from where they
had left their companions.
At Gurney they found cabin oc-
cupied by trapper named King.
Learning of the two left on Nipigon
Bay ice, King set out with Neborak
