Flood Aid Commended.

GOVS. SMITH of Vermont and
~ Bridges of New Hampshire and
Red Cross officials have commended
N. B. c. for its outstanding aid and CO.
operation during the recent flood crisis
in the New England States.
N. B. C's affiliated stations, WBZ
and WBZA, in Sprinfield and Boston,
respectively, were open at all times
for dissemination of information,
warnings and medical advice.

allies IN their EFFORTS to ma1ntaln'
themselves as free democratic institu-
tions, was expounded as an incidental
but nonetheless cogent part of the
radio report of the American News
vention. The report expressed appre-
hension lest the dictatorial control
over radio and the press exercised
in some European countries, notably
Germany, should furnish an example
for a similar dictatorship here.
Political dictatorship, it was as
serted. not only suppresses freedom
of expression but inevitably is fol-
lowed by complete political control
OF the vehicles of publicity, which
soon become mere avenues of propa-
ganda designed to maintain the party
in power. That Germany and other
European countries are using the
radio not only for domestic political
aggrandizement, but for purposes of
foreign propaganda, was one of the
dangers to democracy pointed out in
the A. N. P. A. radio report.
LOW real this danger is may be
= quickly discerned from even
cursory glance at what is going on
in European radio today. Returning
American observers, particularly
those who attended the recent in
ternational broadcaSting conference
in Paris, bear out these conclusions.
First of all, they describe the race
for superpower broadcasting in Eu-
rope as intended to carry one coun-
try's programs not only to its own ma
tionals, but across the borders to
other countries. Praise for the pro-
gram and technical services of many
of Europe's broadcasting administra-
tions, particularly the British. is tenn
pered by the finding that Germany,
Russia and Italy are building more
and higher powered short wave sta
tions for the prime and obvious pur-
pose of carrying their messages far
and wide over the world.
At the Paris conference 1t was made
clear that more international short
waves will be sought at the 1888 world
dAlO Rd4 ACy Ii SoAO AO2 PAi POcS
since the waves now set aside for So
called international relays" are al
ready overcrowded. This movement
is going forward in spite of the fact
that meeting of the League of Ma
tions has been called for September
IS next In Geneva to discuss the draft
of an international convention for the
promoton of peace by broadcasting.
WHILE the United States has some
wv thing like 80 short wave adjuncts
OF regular medium wave broadcasting
stations on the air more or less reg
ularly, these stations can hardly be
claSsed as propagandistic in charac-
ter for the simple reason that their
programs are mere simultaneous
broadcasts Of the programs carried
by their medium wave affiliates and
are practically never built" expressly
for foreign reception. In this respect,
the American broadcasters, in their
tntentness upon domestic markets"
for the commercial products they ex-
plot, are carrying forward the diplo-
matte tradition of splendid isola-
tion," perhaps unwittingly, but none
theless faithfully.

Unknown speaker, and represen-

Mr.. Bentley came here on o

the growth of Rotary from one

MINIMUM WAGE MOVE

The titanic struggle for control of

night roared toward a climax un-

moves designed to increase the

unanimous demand by labor ex-
perts gathered here for a consti-

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. (UP)
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace yesterday indicated
administration plans for an ex-
banded farm-aid program, to be
submitted to the next session OF
congress, include crop insurance
but not production control.
However, he's declined to COM
nit himself definitely on the pro-
duction control phase, asserting
that although he did not contem-
plate such step now the ultimate
decision depended on congress
and what the farmers want"
Wallace also said that consid,
cradle thought had been directed
toward the possibility OF seeking
an amendment to the existing
soil conservation act which wouia
retain control Of that program in
the hands Of the federal govern,
ment, rather than giving control
to the states in 1888 as the law
now provides.

But Intimates Deny
Stroke Suffered

VATICAN CITY, Nov. ~. =
CUP. = Intimates of Pope Plus
Yesterday admitted anxiety over
the pontiff's health, saying that
for several days he had scarcely
been able TO walk.
Members OF the pontiffs house
hold described his condition re-
luctantly only after long ques-
tioning.
They strenuously denied reports
that his holiness had suffered
partial paralysis in one leg, but
said that in his very brief walks
ne dragged his left leg and that
his ankles and calves were swol-
len.
Household attendants are max
ing every effort to save the pope's
energy. They say that he has a
horror of being i'll and resolutely
insists on continuing his daily aud
fences. To save his strength, the
audience room has been shifted
nearer his apartment and when
ever possible attendants carry nm
to the small papal throne.
One attache of the Vatican VINO
Is in daily contact with his holiness
said that the pontiff had not walk
ed more than so PAGES at one time
within recent weeks.
Intimates of Pope Plus say that
his condition cannot be described
as grave" because his iron Will
is unimpaired, but his general
physical enfeeblement is causing
considerable anxiety, especially IN
view of the fact that he appears
unwilling to save his strength.

GREEN REFUSES TO

TAMPA, Fla, Nov. ~. (UP)-
The rift in ranks Of American Ia.
Dor was broadened yesterday as
John p. Frey. president of the
A. f. l.. metal trades department,
charged John l.. Lewis and his G.
|. 0. with opening the doors of
labor to communism.
Almost on the eve of the con-
vention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, Frey, bitter enemy
of the Committee for Industrial
Organization, charged formation
of the c. /. o. was the opening
for which Communist leaders i'm
America and Moscow had sought. "
The charges, leveled in Frey's
annual report to the metal trades
department, was the first blast in
the fight of A. F. L. leaders here
against Lewis organization in its
drive to attract the millions of
workers in the mass production
industries.
Frey's report devoted an entire
chapter to Communism and the
Committee for Industrial Organi-
zation." 1t was read as labor lead
ers from all sections of the coun-
try streamed into Tampa for what
may be the most momentous ma
tional convention in the turbulent
history of labor.
Frey said the trade union prin-
ciples, around which the A. F. l..
organization is constructed, had
formed a staunch bulwark for
years against communism.
But unfortunately" the re-
port said, within the last year
the door has been opened by the
Committee for Industrial Organi-
cation. 1t is immaterial whether
his open door was the result of
deliberate purpose, indifference
or inability to stem the tide, but
what the trade union movement is
now forced to realize is that a
trade union door has been opened.
Communist leaders were quick
to seize upon the opportunity"
of c. |. O.'s organization, the re-
port continued.
early in January, the Com
munist party in the United States
strapped all it's previous programs
so that it could take full advan-
tage of the opportunity -" Frey
charged.
"The communist leaders in
formed their members that criti'
cism of the A. F. l.. must cease.
Instead, communists were in
structed to become members of
trade unions and then to work
within the unions to secure sup
port for the c. I. o. and to Gre
ate sentiment in favor of a Farm
er-Labor party.
Frey charged that communists
already were infiltrating the steel
centers, working to spread their
influence with the growth Of the
C. |. o. in the first major mass
production industry at which it is
driving.
