Wisner's experience in following the
first radio bills through Congress
stood him in good stead. When the
Radio Commission decided to have a
press service, they hired Wisner as
press agent pro tenn.
After several months in that role,
his job was made safe by virtue of
his passing the civil service examina-
tion for that job, sought by l25 can
didates. with the highest rating.
No publicity or propaganda is issued
from Wisner's Office. His is one OF
the factual press services which
sticks to the details and has little
opportunity to use its imagination.

Conversation ended abruptly as

Conversation ended abruptly as Hal
and Jonesy went to work. BY the
time the truck arrived from the Nor
beck plant, the Oriole was on the line
with its motor warming up. Hal
helped the truckman transfer the
precious packages Of medicine to the
plane, while Eddie stood nearby. talk
ing to Mr.. Stafford.
At last Eddie. with a glance at his
wrist watch, climbed into the ship.
He waved to Mr.. Stafford and Hal,
and roared across the field. taking
the air cleanly. Hal stood beside his
employer. watching the graceful plane
climb, turn, and head for South
Branch, 800 miles away.
Then SUDDENLY strange feeling came
over Hal. In exactly this same way
he had stood with Mr.. Stafford a
few days before, watching Shade leave
on exactly the same kind of errand.
And Shade had never come back!
Mr.. Stafford looked at him suddenly
and spoke in sharp tone.
whats the matter with you, Hal?"
he demanded. You look little white
around the gills."
Hal gulped. II couldn't help think
ing" he began. and then stopped
abruptly as Mr.. Stafford raised his
hand.
Neither could II" he retorted: But
don't say it. Eddie will come back all
right. Good heavens, two planes can't
disappear without trace inside of
single week."
Hal returned to the shop and went
back to work. But somehow he
couldn't throw of the feeling which
had come over him as he watched
Eddie take the air, and he was still
quiet and subdued when he went home
for supper.
He ATTENDED night school as
usual that evening, but he
couldn't keep his mind on his studies.
Finally, when the session was over, he
hurried from the building and entered
drug store on nearby corner. Feel
ing secretly that he was acting fool
ishly, he nevertheless could not keep
from calling the airport to inquire
about Eddie.
The telephone rang several times be-
fore it was answered. Then Hal recog-
nized Mr.. Staf1ord's voice, and imme-
diately he was ashamed of the i'm
pulse that had made him call. But
there was no help for it now.
Hello, Mr.. Stafford" he said. "I
Just wanted to call up and make sure
that Eddie got to South Branch all
right"
For a moment there was no answer.
Was Mr.. Stafford indulging in little
private laugh at his expense? Finally
came the reply. eyes, Eddie got there
all right, Hal"
"Oh! Well, I'm glad to hear that"
Hal said quickly.
wait minute!" Something in Mr..
Stafford's voice made Halls breath
quicken. He got there all right, put
the Norbeck shipment aboard the
Associated plane. and started back.

HAL hung up the receiver moment
later, and walked slowly out to
get his street car. But suddenly he
changed his mind. He crossed the
street and took car going the oppo-
site way.
A half hour later he walked into the
airport office Mr.. Stafford was there,
pacing up and down, his face mask
of worry.
Hall he cried as the boy entered
What are you doing down here at
this hour?"
Has Eddie come in yet?" Hal de-
manded.
"Nc!"
Slowly Hal crossed the room and
sank into chair. For q moment
Mr.. Stafford continued his pacing,
then swung furiously about.
Hes gone!" he cried. II know he's
gone Eddie Moore has disappeared
just like Shade did. Disappeared into
thin air! It couldn't happen-but it
has!"

ago and he hasn't shown up yet"
Hal felt his heart sink. He made
a hasty calculation, and realized tina,
Eddie could have been back an hour
ago if the Oriole had been flying at
her usual speed. But he tried to fight
down his apprehension.
Maybe he's been having q little
trouble. and stopped somewhere" he
suggested.
Probably that's it." agreed Mr.
Stafford. But he should have let me

Then they ferried the river and tock a suburban train for their Westchester home, village, incl dentally, that is hardly stones throw from the outskirts of the city.

Pope Forbids Aid
 to 'IIIegitimates'

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 4-Pope Plus inveighed sharply against pro- posed changes in the Italian civil code which would legitimize chil- dren born out of wedlock.
 Receiving 118 newly-wed cou- pies, the Holy Father was quoted by the authoritative Vatican news paper, Osseryatore Romano, as say ing:
 "These innovations are called dar- ing. But to use, as the supreme pastor of souls, they seem not only daring and audacious, but truly menacing.
 Tt is affirmed that the innova- tions would be proposed in order to improve the heritage of the sur viving spouse and for humanitar- ian understanding in the consider ation of natural children they would not be called illegitimate, but natural
 Tt seems to us that in crude, but exact, language this would tend to put the legitimate family on a level with the illegitimate family
 This would be one of the great est menaces that could be launched upon a people and upon a coun- try"

Arthur M Uggen, manager of the Alaska Music Supply which was established in Juneau a few months ago, states that he is arranging for larger quarters early next year to be better able to display the large stock of music, musical instruments and pianos.
 Mir Uggen said he was surprised at the amount of musical talent in Juneau and added that no doubt credit for this to a great extent is due to the efficient music depart ments of the Juneau schools.
 MT Uggen also stated that in spite of the maritime strike his business has been growing rapidly and expects, soon after the strike is settled, to receive several large shipments of musical merchandise to take care of the growing demand for better instruments and music

LONDON, Dec 4.-Mayfair hos tesses are dropping the drawing room for the kitchen-all because Mrs. Wallis Simpson prepared tas- ty dishes with her own hands fit for a King" and the King ate them.
 The rush for the kitchen began when London elite learned the American friend of King Edward was an excellent cook and the Mon arch approvingly sampled her ef- forts.
 Now it's no unusual sight for a smart hostess to greet her guests with face flushed from standing over hot stove and to offer food of her own making, say those who mingle with the Mayfair elite.
 Those who can afford it are broil- ing hams in champagne because, it was rumored. Mrs. Simpsons cook did hams, for the King that way
 Several women are taking an- cient recipes from museums or the ancestral library and adapting them to modern times. Others are spe- cializing in continental peasant dishes, while many are studying American methods.
 Homemade ice cream and frozen deserts from American recipes are being served with maids of honor, in place of petits fours, made from family cookery books.
 At one fashionable afternoon tea the surprised guests were offered tall glasses containing chopped ice and brownish liquid, as an al formative to dainty cups of steam ing tea. "A new beverage?' irl- quired one. Its iced tea, the popular American drink" explained the hostess.

WAGNER ACT SEEN
IN "ALIBI STAGE"
Measure Exactly Where N. R. A
Was in Schechter Era,
Gall Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 23.-John G.
Gall, associate counsel of the National
Association of Manufacturers, said to-
day that the Wagner labor act "has
passed from the ballyhoo stage to the
alibi stage"
1T is now exactly where the Blue
Eagle and the recovery act were prior
to the Schechter decision" he said in
an address prepared for delivery at
the annual convention of the National
Metal Trades Association.
BASED on false premises and aimed
at one party to the employment re-
lationship alone, the act never held
any possibilities except for promoting
discord.
Its failure is now clear to all except
its sponsors and those who are paid to
administer 1t.
"If any proof of the failure of the
Wagner act were needed, it can be
found in the recent appearance Of
members of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board before the La Toilette
Subcommittee of the Senate, where
they presented various alibis and ex-
cuses for the failure of the act, and.
as was expected. laid upon employers
the blame for an inevitable situation" I"

EQUIPMENT SALE
BYA.T. .&T.|STO[
Firm Made Profit After
Years of Renting Phones,
Board Hears.
BY the Associated Press.


The Communications Commission
today received evidence that after COL
lecting huge profits from operating
companies in the rental of telephone
instruments, the American Telephone
& Telegraph Co. sold the equipment
in 1927 at an additional profit Of
$14000,000.
Testifying at hearing in the COM
MISSIONS investigation of the big
utility, John H. Buckley, an account
ant, introduced an exhibit showing
the A. T. & T. received profits on the
rental of equipment from 1902 to 1927
which ranged from $50.000,000 to
$216, 900, 900 in excess of 6 per cent
return on gross book cost.
The exact amount Of the excess
profits. Buckley said, would depend on
the technical method used in fgur-
ing A. T. & T. accounts.
The instruments were sold to the
Associated Telephone Cos, most of
which were controlled substantially
100 per cent by the A. T. g. t."
Buckley said, "at a profit of over
$4,000, ,O00."
Price Fixed by Seller.
"The price at which the instru-
ments were Sold" he continued, was
fixed by the seller, which controlled
the buyers"
The witness added officials of the
A. T. & T. had "undersNted the
profit on the sale Of the instruments
in the amount of over $500 900" in
testimony before State regulatory
bodies and had "given conflicting tes-
timony as to how the sale price was
determined"
Buckley, a commission accountant,
added that when the instruments
were sold in 1927 the hand telephone
set was being introduced and "the
risk of obsolesence" of the old equip
ment was passed to the buyers"
1T is highly significant" Buckley
declared, that the instruments were
sold to the associated companies at
the time of the introduction of a
