Take Train On
Trip To Guaynas

If you have a trip to make to
Guaymas SO by train instead of
via automobile.
That's the advice of Major George
Macdonald, retiring secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce, who
got back Wednesday night from a
fishing trip to Guaymas Bay.
Reporting on tie road work be-
tween Nogales and GuaymaS, Mac
donald said:
They're building a road and it's
going to be a beautiful highway.
Culverts are now being put in be-
tween Hermosillo and Guaymas.
The road between here and Magda-
lena is not bad but that between
Hermosillo and Guaymas. on &C
count of the detours, is the worst
in five years"
It is Macdonald's opinion that it
will be a year or two before the
road is paved between here and
Guaymas.

CHEAPER MILK
OFFERED IN D. C,

Proposing to utilize paper con-

sell milk at a cent a quart under
the standard Washington price,
tn eSylvian Seal Milk, Inc, of Balti-

permit to invade the Washington
field.
The application was placed be-
fore the District Commissioners
yesterday, but action on it was
deferred until the Friday meeting.
When it was first proposed, the
Health Department frowned on
the application, on the grounds
that issuance of the permit would
necesSitate travelling expenses and
extra personnel for inspectors to
go to Baltimore for the routine in

Representatives of the Balti-

only milk and cream which comes
from District licensed dairy

Virginia area, some of which are
further than Baltimore from this

"Moronic Radio Programs"
AssoiIed by Payne

GN.s.) Criticisms of Government regulation of
radio by David Sarnoff president of the Radio Corpo
ration of America, today brought sharp reproof
from Federal Communications Commissioner George
Henry Payne.
Payne described Sarnoff's attack made last week,
amazing because of it's disregard of the facts and
its defiance of public opinion.
Declaring the only answer to Sarnoff the long
needed congressional investigation" Payne called
Sarnoff's speech "evidence of the organized move
ment of the radio monopoly to mould public opinion
to its will and to control not only the radio industry,
but the Federal Communications Commission"
From the mead of the company that was respon-
sible for the Mae West broadcast might we'll have
expected mider note," Payne said. There is not
word OF apology for the blood-curding programs that
do harm to children for the character of the pro-
grams that have been described in many places as
moronic and fit only for the intellect of child of 12
Sarnoff charged the present system of granting
radio licenses for sx-month periods "leaves the door
open for indirect and insidous Government censor
ship"
On the plea for longer licensing period, Payne
said "even with the present six-months period the
broadcasters, as a class have become negligent of
the public interest and arrogant"
