Senator Vandenberg, in his tele

Legitimate" free speech was lin
fringed" in the cutting off of the
broadcast. The text of his tele
gram follows:

Controversy over Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg's being
cut off the radio Saturday night
for using photograph records of
President Roosevelt's voice con-
tinued to agitate political circles
today.
The Columbia Boacasting Com
pany, which terminated Vanden-
berg's talk, issued a statement
declaring the chairman of the
Federal Radio Commission itself,
Aiming S. Prall, was similarly
barred from the network recently
when he sought to have a speech
made by electrical transcription.
The statement said:
"The chairman had been in
vited by the owners of KTSA,
at San Antonio, to speak in a
program over Columbia net.
work on Sunday evening, Oc-
tOber 4.
"The chairman accepted the
invitation to speak for five
minutes, prepared his speech,
and then discovered it would
not be convenient to go to the
brOadcasting studio that eve
ming. Someone suggested re-
cording his voice so it could
be put on the air without his
presence. without thinking to
check the network rule pro-
hibiting the use of records or
prescriptions, the chairman
had a recording made and sent
it to COlumbia'S Washington
office for use on the network.
"The chairman was informed
of the rule. Neither the tran.
scriptiOn nor the record itself
appeared on the network pro-
gram. The chairman made
no complaint.
"The fact that Columbia
barred a recording by the
Democratic chairman of the
Federal Communications Com
mission would hardly seem to
support published differences
that our action in the case of
Senator Vandenberg was dec.
tated by fear of either the
Democratic Administration or
the Federal Communications
Commission"

light.
Sam Hellman, famous humorist, and
Gladys Lehman adapted the play to

In the picture, Rogers enacts a
shrewd and genial trainer of horses,
whose homely philosophy and keen
wet sets right all the troubles of the
impulsive people about him.
Russell Hardie and Drothy Wilson

of old Charles Sellon who is feuding
with Charles Richman. Although his
daughter fights to win Hardie for

finally brings the boy to Miss Wilson.
Rogers able assistant in the picture
is Bill Robinson, the tap dancing gen.

some widow, and thus provides one of
the comedy punches Of the picture.
although "In Old Kentucky" is full
of humor and drama in the feud situa-

for the pounding climax in which
racing thoroughbreds pound down the

FOUR CONTESTS
OF FOOT BALL
LAST MONDAY
East Seems Stronger Than West
AS That Section Wins
Three Games
SOUTHERN METHODISTS
BEATEN BY STANFORD

The great American game of foot
ball closed it's season on New Years
Day by four great clashes. Southern
Methodist University bowed to Stan
ford by score of z to 0 in the classic
Rose Bowl contest at Pasadena, Cali
fornia. Texas Christian University
won from Louisiana State, to 2;
the Catholic University Cardinals
downed Mississippi at Miami, Florida,
by the close margin of 20 to 10;
and team OF stars from Eastern
institutions beat similar combina-
ton from the West by a score Of 10
to 8, the game being played at San
Francisco. These were, more or less,
sectional contests, and it can be seen
that the East and South East won
three of the four contests from the
more Western elevens.
The game at Pasadena, Rose Bowl,
saw Southern Methodist as the in
vited guest. This annual set-to is
governed by a conference of 10 uni
versities on the Pacific slope, and the
Rose Bowl invitation is generally ex-
tended to what is supposed to be the
strongest team of the East.
Southern Methodist, while not los
ing game, was, probably, not as
strong as Princeton, but this univer-
sity has put the ban on post season
games, and would not go to California.
Minnesota, of the middle west is also
thought to be superior to Stanford,
but Minnesota also bans post season
dates. The Conference then turned
to the Southeast and selected South
ern Methodist.
The Texas bunch was expected to
win but the dope miscarried. While
the statistics of the game seemed to
give the edge to S. M. u, the STAN
ford boys were too quick to take ad-
vantage of MISUNDERSTANDING touch
down in the first quarter, as the re-
suit of long forward pass, Stanford
was able to hold that small lead to
the end. S. M. U. worked it's way to
the yard line once, but lost chance
to score by disastrous tumble, STAN
ford recovering the ball.
The game was not as exciting to
the $4,000 people present as was an
ticipated, and both teams have played
better football in their regular season.
It was big success financially, both
teams realizing thousands of dollars
for their athletic chest.

Consumer interest in home en-
bellishment and improvement has con-
tinued forcefully during the first por-
tions of this season, the association
reported. This was brought out by a
check of the six departments in each
store which showed the greatest sales
increase in the six weeks from Sep
tember l to October IS. The home
furnishings department, 1t was found,
registered more often in this respect
than any other section.
The accessories section followed
closely, and after it, in this order,
came women's and misses apparel,
mems and boys clothing, piece goods,
small ware and miscellaneous depart
