RADIO LEAGUE
ORGANIZED

COLLEGE PARK, Md, May 6.
First steps in the formation Of a
national collegiate amateur radio
system were taken at the Uni
versity Of Maryland yesterday
when student representatives Of
five Eastern colleges met in the
engineering building.
The group decided to complete
the University Radio League or
ganization this spring and put it
into operation at the beginning
Of the fall term.
Prof. S. S. Steinberg, head Of
the civil engineering department,
announced that the University of
Maryland would erect a 500-watt
short wave transmitter, one Of
the most powerful Of its kind. in
the country.
It was proposed that the
league stress research as its
main objective.
M. L. Roylance, president Of
the University of Maryland radio
society, who was largely instru-
mental in formation Of the SyS-
tenn, and DR.. Ferdinand Han
burger of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, were appointed a committee
to draw up a constitution. The
suggestion of Prof. Steinberg that
the University of Maryland be
made the headquarters Of the
league was approved.
Represented at the meeting
were Virginia, Johns Hopkins,
Lehigh, Maryland universities
and Haversford College. Stephens
Institute of Technology, Swarth-
more, North Carolina University,
City College Of New York, and
Rensselaer, Polytechnical InSti-
tute sent letters expressing in
terest in the move.

TALK TO VETS
MAY SQUARE
: PRESIDENT
Nv EARL GOODWIN

If President Roosevelt accepts
the invitation Of the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars to attend its ma
tional encampment in Colorado
late in September he may use the
opportunity to square himself, If
possible, with the bonus bloc
which has been q trifle chilly to
the Administration since the
President vetoed the prepayment
Of the bonus.
This is particularly true Of the
American Legion, which has been
considered a bit "off" politically
by the higher-ups in the Admins
tration's political circles.
But those who observe things
around the White House seem to
think they feel q slight rise in
temperature when they contact
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars,
The atmosphere has less chill.
Furthermore, those who are trying
to boost the Administration
political chances, say the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars is "a coming Or
ganization." It Is an older organi-
zation than the Legion, this being
its thirty-seventh year, although
it Is a smaller organization.
Stood For Bonus
It stood for the bonus but has
not been so drastic in its disap-
proval of the Presidents veto, &C.
cording to politicians within the
Administration.
Therefore, the Presidents polit-
ical advisers are watching the sit
uation so as to get all they can
out Of the opportunity for the
President to make a speech in
Denver late in September.
The encampment will come
after the Colorado primaries,
which removes much of the en-
barrasSment which is always
present when a President makes
a speech while there are fac
tional rows in progress.
Free-FOr-AlI Expected
This year, too, the Democrats
must pick a successor to Senator
Costigan, who n nounce I'd he
would not run for reelection, and
the Democrats are likely to ex-
perience a political free-for-all
that will take on the aspects Of
an old-time Rocky Mountain
rodeo.
There is a tug-of-war between
the progresSives like Senator Cos
tigan and the old-line conserva-
tiveS like Gov. Ed johnson, and
the feeling among political OBJ
servers is that Governor johnson
will be the choice of Colorado's
Democrats. However, it is no
sort of a fight into which the
President cares to mix by max
ing a speech, or even an appear
ance, in Colorado until after the
primaries are over.
Taking it by and large, it would
seem that if the President can
arrange matters he may go out
to Colorado and other points
West in the latter part Of Sep
TENDER.

District legislation will be con-
Sidered early in the House next
session, if plans of Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New
Jersey, chairman of the House
District Committee, materialize'
The District chairman said to-
day that she is considering re-
QueSting various District officials
and representatives Of local civic
groups to attend q meeting Of
her committee before the end Of
this session, when she will ask
the witnesses to present sugges-
tionS for action next session.
Mrs. Norton explained that this
idea was provoked because Of the
delay which has attended the
consideration Of numerous meri-
toriouS measures which she has
referred to subcommittee this
year.
80 Bills Waiting
She pointed out that there
are more than 80 District bills
now awaiting action of Subcom-
mittees on her committee, and that
this situation could have been
avoided if the subcommittee
had started to work on them i'm
mediately after they were turned
over to them.
Because of the hardness Of sub
committee action, she pointed
out, it is somewhat doubtful if
more than one or two more Dis
trict bills will receive House con-
sideration this session, despite
the fact that on two District
days in the House there were no
local measures ready for con-
Sideration.
Under her present plan, Mrs.
Norton related, the District Com
miSSionerS, Peoples Counsel, men,
bers of the school board, members
of the Public Utilities Commits
sion, the acting corporation coun-
sci and other department heads
from the District Building, as well
as civic group representatives,
will be asked to attend a District
Committee meeting within the
next few weeks.
Those asked to attend will be
invited to suggest matters calling
for legislative action which, they

session.
Early Action Sought
In this manner, Mrs. Norton
added, the members Of the Dis
trict Committee will have these
suggestions before them for study
during the summer, and when
they return to the next session
will have opinions formed and be
ready to act early in the session.
During the next session also,
the chairman explained, the new
procedure Of having the full COM
mittee act directly on most Of the
legislation will be invoked and this
is expected to expedite many Of
the bills.
Measures Of a controversial ma
ture will be turned over to special
subcommittee appointed to han
die specific bills, Mrs. Norton con-
tinued, and it is believed this will
result in speeding such bills

COUNTY AUDIT
DELAYED BY
BOARD

ROCKVILLE, Md. May g.
Plans for a complete audit Of the
accounts of all MONTGOMERY county
departments, proposed by the
Fusion bloc of the board Of county
commissioners, were delayed again
today.
Ira C. Whitacre, clerk to the
commissioners. declared that al
though the question was brought
up for discussion at the board
meeting yesterday authorization
of check up was deferred to await
outcome of a conference Of Off
Gals slated here Friday.
The probe was proposed by
Commissioner Charles E., King
after the arrest several weeks ago
of Edward Peter, former Fusionlst
counsel to the board; on a charge
of embezzling funds in connection
with the Wisconsin Avenue widen
ing project. Commissioner King
said:
"There are apparently irregu-
larities in the financial accounts
relating to this project and
thoroughly believe we as COM
missiOners Of MOntg Omery
county should call for an audit
Of all county accounts. I sug-
gest we contact the State comp
trOIler's office Of Maryland"
Commissioners Paul M. Cough
Ian said it would be impossible
for the comptroller'S office to con-
duct the audit, as it is too busy
on routine work.
It was reported that represen-
tativeS of several Maryland and
Washington firms will be present
at the conference Friday to ex-
plain their methods and attempt
to obtain the contract. for the
audit it generally is believed the
commissioners will order.
