MORE REDUCTION IN

United States Must Cut by IS

tional activity In reducing wheas

farm administration officials survey
the possibility Of winter wheat pro-
duction exceeding the figure ex-
pected.
They are faced with the threat
that the full acreage reduction OF 10
per cent will not be achieved IN the
production control program now un-
der way. Production control figures
checked with the crop reporting board
showed that only n per cent of the
reduction expected In winter wheat
paintings had been secured.
Under terms of the international
wheat agreement the United States
agreed to reduce both production and
exports by Is per cent.
Officials Wednesday attributed the
failure Of the reduction to reach the
level expected to farmers who did not
sign the production control contracts.
increasing their paintings. Only about
one-fourth Of the discrepancy was
due to failure Of contract signers to
fulfill their obligations, they de-
clared.
Many contract signers who did not
make the full Is per cent reduction
called for in their contract will make
up for It in cutting their sowings OF
spring wheat, officials added, and de-
clared that unless the contract was
fulfilled in full in this manner farm
ers would not receive their second
benefit payments.
Hope Is held for q heavy winter
killing Of wheat to assist In cutting
production by the full Is per cent for
the country and reports from west
ern Nebraska indicate damage in that
section to date has been heavy.
Should the climatic damage and
reduction Of spring paintings by con-
tract signers prove insufficient to
bring production down to the re-
quired level, the administration plans
to follow one of two courses-either
conduct an additional sign-up cam
paign, or ask contract signers to make
an additional reduction on their con-
tract acres, paying them an added
benefit for 50 doing.

RADIO HISTORY IS
TRACED SPEAKER
kFYR Engineer Tells How In.
dustry Developed From
Swaddling Clothes Era

How radio has developed from q
curiosity to an influence In the every
day life Of many persons was ex-
planned to members Of the Bismarck
Rotary club at their luncheon meet
ing in the Grand Pacific hotel We'd
nesday BY Stanley Lucas. engineer
for KFYR.
Beginning with the development Of
the telegraph and other means Of
wired communication, Lucas said
radio was . natural development.
Experiments with radio as We now
know it began In 1910, he said, while
wireless stu was In It's infancy and
two years before hundreds Of persons
were saved through its use IN 1912
when the Carpathia picked up sur
vivors OF the Ttantic disaster.
It was not until 1922. however,
that the first large-scale sound
broadcast was made from KDKA,
Pittsburgh, the pioneer Of all Ameri-
can radio stations. Since that time,
he said, radio has become an impor-
tant industry and 600 licensed sta
tions regularly are ION the air" Each
one has . technical staff to keep It's
delicate machinery In operation and
hundreds Of individuals are con-
stantly engaged In radio research.
Employment Is given to many per-
sons In the preparation and produc-
tion Of radio programs.
From technical standpoint, Lucas
said. the most difficult Job IL to get
the program from the studio into the
ether without distortion. Many prob
lens Of transmission and reception
remain to Be solved or explained, such
as the fading Of radio signals In Ger
tain areas. The presence Of hills
seems to dim the signals, he said,
and In certain kinds Of terrain they
seem to disappear altogether.
President George M. Constans pre-
sided at the meeting and p. J. Meyer
was program chairman. A. r. Tavis
was appointed Rotary chairman for
the presidents birthday ball to be
held next Tuesday night.
Visitors were M. O. Storvik. Aber-

third = that he did not attempt to

Further investigation Is made. Little
pieces Of paper come to light. They
were written at the time the sales

them, decides to make them part Of

Two other points remain to be

Chicago, Jan. -. -(R)- Poll c e
searching for the slayers Of william
J. (three-fingered Jack) White. pub
lie enemy, Wednesday ordered the ar
rest Of william (Klondyke) O'Don-
nell, gang leader Of suburban Cicero.
and his pal. Joe Chernik.
Fear that White had "squealed' to
government men was advanced Is the
most like motive for the staying Of
the ex-convict in his apartment at
Suburban Oak Park Tuesday night.
At the federal building Wednesday It
was learned that Oliver Kempster, q
state highway policeman assigned to
the office Of the federal bureau Of in
vestigation. had gone to Whites
apartment late Tuesday to seek In
formation.
White had been indicted with 16
others in connection with the alleged
trucking and transport exchange
racket, known as the INT. but al
though his whereabouts was said to
have been known to certain author
tiles, he had not been placed under
arrest.
The slain racketeer was known to
be 4 bitter enemy Of the Roger Touhy
gang, whose leader and three Of his
cohorts are on trial for the kidnapping
Of John Factor, stock market specu-
lator.
Had Valuable Information
Police pointed out that White prob
ably was IN . position to give infor-
nation valuable In the prosecution Of
either case.
His body, partially unclothed, was
found Tuesday night after tenants
Of the building heard series Of rap
i'd shots and saw two men flee from
the building and Jump into waiting
automobile and drive away.
That the gangster had put up q
desperate struggle was evidenced by
the overturned furniture In the we'll
furnished living room In which his
bullet-marked body was found.
Two glass bookcase doors were
smashed and from bottles and glasses
found on the premises 1t was evident
that White and his visitors had en-
gagged In . drinking bout before he
was slain.
Early Wednesday two women, one
|of whom identified herself to police
as Whites wife, and q man were tax
en- into custody when they drove up
to the apartment in an automobile.
All denied knowing anything OF the
killing until informed by the crowd
that had gathered in front Of the
building.
Brother and Friend
The others gave their names as
Miss Dinah Anderson, 20, Of Sterling.
ILL.,, who said she had been visiting
the Whites, and James Kelley, %, a
brother Of the widow.
In 1875 White was accused Of the
Staying Of Policeman Edward Pflaume
Of suburban River Forest, and he also
was arrested, but never brought to
trial, for participation in the $4,000
robbery Of the International Har-
vester Co.
The state twice convicted White OF
the murder Of the policeman, but
each time the state supreme court
reversed the decision, and finally
when he was brought to trial for the
third time the charges were nolle
pressed when the prosecution admit
ted 1t had no new evidence.
Under questioning Of Chief Deputy
Coroner Stephen Zolankowski, Miss
Anderson gave information that led
police to begin q search for two men
known to her as "Bill and "Joe," a.
