All-Wave Radios Gain.

ESTIMATING that so per cent of
all the radio sets sold in 1884
and 80 to 80 per cent of those sold
so far this year were of the all-wave
type, DR. o. H Caldwell, former Fed
eral radio commissioner and now
editor of the Radio Retailing, places
the number of all-wave radios now in
use in the United States at more than
100000.
Among something like 20,000,000
homes equipped with radios, this num-
ber does not appear to bulk large. but
trade authorities predict that another
three or four years will see practically
all radio sets of the all-wave type.
Short-wave listening, far from being
merely fad, has become an estab-
liShed institution.

plans to get the best results from these
skillful word craftsmen. Instead of
expecting them to turn out a radio
script with the same smoothness OF
an article or a short story, both the
network and the agency plan to team
the name author with trained radio
continuity writer. The combination
ought to be a good one and the result
may be radio literature that will stand
on its own legs.
Curiously enough, the rank and file
Of the radio writers welcome this influx
of name" authors. The competent
ones know that there will always be
work for them to do and that an i'm
port of literary giants will merely
serve to focus attention on the i'm
portance of material and, in time, the
fees paid for good material will be
considerably increased.
THE average price paid for radio
script has doubled in the past
year. However, the radio writer is
still paid less for the amount of work
he does than the playwright or the
movie scriptist. This situation is
little inconsistent when one realizes
that for the amount Of time spent in
actual work, a radio star is the high
est paid person in the world Of en-
tertainment.

Palmers have been actively interested
in radio since long before radio be-
came an industry. Palmer did his
first experimenting in radio 80 years
ago, and has been keenly interested in
every step Of progress it has made up
to this good time. Mrs. Palmer &C
companied her husband in 1925 on
the first radio-equipped train to travel
through the United States, and went
to Europe with him twice, when
Palmer helped on international tests.
They were once the guests of the In
ternational Radio Committee in
Geneva.
In fact" Palmer said, there have
been heaps of thrills, including our
short-wave contacts with Eric junior
in Brazil and other foreign points.
We have contacted every nation on
our home stations, 20 and 40 meters,
and appeared in television a decade
ago."

Trial of Worldwide
 Interest

New York, Dec. 31 CUP) The new year was only one day old when the news event that was to occupy 1e35's largest headlines fo- cussed attention of the world on a little town in New Jersey. There. in Remington, on January ?, Bruno Richard Hauptmann went on trial for his life charged with Kidnapping and murdering the Lindbergh baby.
 From that day until the fateful 18th of February when the Bronx carpenter was found guilty and doomed to die, the world followed the trial. The jury of eight men and four women returned its ver- dict after deliberating Il hours and A minutes.
 The defense would not concede that the verdict solved the mys- tery of the Lindbergh case. The prosecution insisted it proved con- clusively that Hauptmann commit ted the crime which shocked the world on the night of March |, 1882.
 Altogether the search for the Lindbergh kidnaper and the cost of trying Hauptmann totaled more than $1,20o,000. The trial alone cost New Jersey $l30,000.
 An appeal to the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals auto matically stayed the execution of Hauptmann. This tribunal upheld the conviction in a decision October g, declaring that the evidence pointed "unerringly to his guilt" With this battle lost, Hauptmann carried his case to the Supreme Court of the United States. In a ruling December g, the highest court refused to review the case.
 Then Hauptmann was resen- fenced to die the week of January 13, 1886. Only one avenue of es- cape remained for the convicted killer, the New Jersey Court of Par- dons, a mercy tribunal.
 Early Preparation For War
 Second only to the Hauptmann case in sustained interest was the Italo- Ethiopian conflict. AS early as January 29 the stage was set for war. On that date the Wal Wal incident occurred. Italians and Ethiopians engaged in battle, the result of boundary dispute.
 Premier Benito Mussolini acted quickly. In February he sounded the call to arms. From that time until the last of September Ro- man legions poured into East Af- rica. The greatest military machine ever seen on the African continent was assembled.
 Ethiopia meanwhile marshalled its warriors and supplied what arms were available. Thousands of warriors went to the front carrying ancient muskets, and some were equipped only with shields, lances and curved swords.
 In the face of these heavy odds. Emperor Halle Selassie remained unshaken in his belief that Ethiopia never would yield to a conqueror. On August 6. Edward w. Beattie, United Press staff correspondent, and first press service writer to reach Addis Ababa, interviewed the King of Kings.
 "No special mental preparation, ? he told Beattie, "is necessary for a people to resist attack sf the mod

Business in almost every line showed great improvement here during 1885, as increases in employ ment, payrolls and retail sales sounded the return to better times. Factories, public utilities and stores led the way as business bounded back from the depths of the depres- sion.
 The first half of the year showed slight gains in most lines, but the big upturn first gave hint of its existence in July. Employment gained that month, so did payrolls and retail sales. Then in August and September, employment gained by several thousands, payrolls jumped accordingly, and business in retail lines likewise began a surg ing climb.
 Through the last three months of the year, the upturn failed to lose its momentum and employ ment continued to gain. Factories here were swan1ped with Christmas orders, to top off a year Of fine business. Major plants declared dividends, and much new equipment was bought to care for increased needs.
 Labor trouble flared Up once, but there was no violence. It was at the Mil street plant of the Water town Undergarnent O., where some 400 employees, mostly girls, walked out when wages were cut below the NRA levels. After some weeks, the employees were successful in their demands, with the factory recogniz- iIg the workers union and taking all the strikers at higher pay.
 A complete picture of the year in business here shows gains all along the line over 1884. Employ ment now is much higher than 1t was year ago, the city has great- CT spending power through heavier payrolls and retail business has

ern equipment of our possible ad- versary (the war had not started at that time) will not deter the Ethiopian people from the sacred task of defending their liberty and territory"
 Mussolini Stands Firm
 Then IT days later. on August g, the Italian side of the dispute was presented by Premier Mussolini in an interview with Ed L. Keen, veteran United Press European vice president.
 "Ethiopia," said Il Duce, Cannot continue as 8 weapon-a modern weapon, not 8 lance-pointed at Italy's back.
 ''Italy will pursue her aims with Geneva or without Geneva, or against Geneva"
 The Mussolini-Keer1 meeting was the first detailed news interview granted after the Ethiopian sit- uation became acute.
 The big drive started on October 3, when bombers blasted a path for the Blackshirt infantry. Aduwa and Adigrat were the targets. Mus solini's war machine advanced on 12-mile front. Both cities fell on October 6.
 On that day President Roose- welt issued neutrality proclama- ton, warning Americans that they travelled on Italian ships at their own risk. On October the League of Nations Council found Italy guilty of war in disregarding Article XII of the Covenant. But the Italian army pushed on.
 Fifty-one nations in the League Assembly condemned Italy on Octo- Der 10. The next day the League placed an arms embargo on Italy and lifted one against Ethiopia. Voting of sanctions followed.
 Before these actions at Geneva were completed, Great Britain massed her home fleet in the Mediterranean. The full force of this armada reached IA vessels by the end of October.
 The Italian push was slowed dur ing November. not by Ethiopian re- sistance but by a more cautious policy of the invaders. A major battle seemed near as the old year waned.
 Mary Pickford Divorced
 While the Hauptmann trial was dominant and before the Ethiopian war began, other events of note oc- cured. On January 10 Mary Pick. ford won a divorce from Douglas Fairbanks.

Where It Comes From

Here is the proof of the pud- ding. Business points to the increase in bank deposits as an ' eidence of rising business. Bank deposits have risen. At the low point in 1883 they were $38,- 900, 100000. Nor they are around $45, ,O0O, ,O00, 0,00O. There is 8 rise of $7,O0O, ,0OO, 900. Where did all that money come from?
 Money in banks can increase only witlA the creation of new money. This can take place either by CD fresh emission of money by the government, CD bank credits or loans, (3 gold imports, (4) government borrowing at the banks.
 It has not come from fresh supplies of government money. These have increased only a few hundred million. It has not come from bank loans for these are less now than in March, 1933. Some of it has come from gold. imports nearly two billion of it.
 The only energy left is govern ment mank borrowing. And of course this has been on an enor- nous scale. In the period since March, 1883, it has amounted to $9, ,426, ,872, ,837. This is where the great bank deposits have come from.
 How anyone can doubt that it is this which produces the current rise in business passes under standing. It was about the sum- mer of this year that these acc cumulated spendings began tc have 8 cumulative effect and tc quicken the whole structure o1 I the economic machine.

 Germany Scraps Treaty
 A bombshell hit the world on March 16 when the German gvo- ernment announced the immediate reinstatement of universal mili- tary training, thus scrapping the Versailles Treaty. Reichchancel- Tor Adolf Hitler cited the failure of other nations to fulfil their disarmament obligations as justi- fication.
 Hitler's army plan was designed to put Germany in fourth place behind Soviet Russia, France and Italy.
 Germany's domestic policy as it affected Jews was the cause of widespread protests during the year. Decrees and anti-Jewish legislation served to make the na- ton "Araan" in public and private enterprise.
 The official explanation for this course of action was given by Reichchancellor Hitler in an in- terview with Hugh Baillie, presi- dent of the United Press, on Nov. 27. It was one of the rare instances when the head of a world power has granted an inter- view explaining internal policies.
 "The necessity of controlling Bolshevism," Hitler said, lis one of the fundamental reasons for Jewish legislation in Germany" The Fuehrer said that the Jews, representing less than 1 per cent of the population, sad sought to usrirp cultural leadership. Relief Bill Passed The news pendulum swung back to Washington on April 5 when the $4,880, 100000 relief bill reach- cd the end of its stormy passage in Congress. Ia was the largest appropriation ever voted in Amer ican history.

and silver purchase acts are ad- nittedly failures. The home own- CTS and Farm Loan acts, while bringing peace to the mortgage foreclosure market, played no part in recovery; they were pure ly relief measures. The Emergency Housing Act was a complete flop. The Securities and Stock Ex- change Acts are not intended to be recovery measures; they seek reform, not recovery. The Utili- ties Act is not yet in force. Nei- ther is the Social Security Act nor the Banking Act nor the act to tax big incomes. The Guffey Act is hardly effective yet and the same is true of the Railroad Re- tirement Act.
