Trouble deepens us, broadens US,

WASHINGTON. Boss Frank
" Hague has received at least
a mild slap on the wrist from
President Roosevelt with the pro-
motion Of District Judge William
Clark of New Jersey to the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Clark has been hearing the suit
for an injunction which would
forbid Hague to suppress civil
rights in Jersey City. His nomi-
nation was sent to the Senate at
time when it was generally be-
lieVed in Washington that he
would grant am injunction against
Hague. Clark is a Republican and
Hague wasn't consulted as to his
nomination at any stage. Suisse
quently it appeared the Hague
machine wanted Senate confrma-
lion held up until Clark had ruled
in the injunction suit. Senator Ed
Burke of Nebraska was the only
one who seriously sought to aid
that effort.
Ex-Governor Silzer, who came
down here to protest Clark's NOM
ination, is Hague Democrat who
owed his nomination and election
to Hague, although dissatisfaction
at certain Clark comments when
ne defended Ellis Parker and
Dutch Schultz, the racketeer, may
have been enough to inspire Sill
ger. A 4
CLARK is a 47-year.old liberal
whose decisions have seldom
been reversed by higher court:

ON 1910 Kilocycles,

Lawrence J. Heller, An attorney
with ohces In the Colorado Building,
has filed an application with the
Federal Communications Commission
for permit to construct q new radio
station here to operate on 1910
kilocycles with 100 watts power at

unlimited time.
The frequency and facilities asked
for by Mr.. Heller are the same Is were
used by Station VOL until last week.
The commission will hold . hearing
on the application.
Mr.. Heller said 1t was his idea to
develop . high type of station here
which would give greater outlet to
local programs. He said that In con-
ferences with school. civic and religious
groups there had been some complaint
that stations tied up with the chains
did not provide sufncient outlet for
their programs.
The exact location of the studio and
the transmitter have not yet been
determined, but Mr.. Heller said en-
gineering studies now were being made
and 1t was hoped that q site for q
transmitter might be obtained which
would give a clear signal over the
entire metropolitan area Of Wash
