PARLEY 7 OPIC
Conference at Cairo
To Vote New Rules
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

O.N.S0 "A hot fight against
government radio propaganda EN-.
anating from dictator states is in
store for the International Radio
Conference opening February /. in
Cairo. Egypt.
The United States 14-man dele
cation will be in the thick Of it
by virture of her agreement at the
recent Havana conference to stick
by her southern neighbors on this
continent.
Dictatorships which have been
blanketing adjoining nations with
radio propaganda against other
forms of government are headed
for trouble in the meeting. Several
countries toward which Italy, Ger
many and Russia have turned the
directional antennas of their gov.
ernment drafted programs plan a
vigorous protest.
MAJORITY PROTESTS HEEDED
Protests at an International Ra-
dio Conference, if supported by a
majority, stick. The radio treaty
is one compact that no nation
dares break. 1t is too easy for an
adjoining country to retaliate by
drowning out all radio broadcaSts
with interference.
The European radio war, in par
ticular, is due for a showdown.
Only recently Italian announcers,
incensed at what they called Dol
shevlk lies" emanating from Rus
STA, declared they would fight to
the finish" to offset the Soviet
propaganda programs blanketing
Italy from Moscow's high powered
government stations.
And protests are expected from
the South American countries,
The big short wave sets sending
daily programs but from Rome,
Moscow, and zeesen, Germany,
are heard in the countries to the
south on this continent, and Of
ficials are alarmed.
U. S. LITTLE AFFECTED
Individually, the United States
has suffered little from this prop
aganda blanket sent out over the
ether. In the first place, the sta
tions abroad using the broadcast
bands do not reach this country.
Secondly, the big short wave sta
ton programs, which may be
picked up here, come in hampered
by static, and anyway cannot COM
pete with the spicy, amusing COM
mercial programs available here.
The American people simply will
not listen to them. They are too
dull.
But Great 3ritain, with her
government controlle d radio
broadcasting system, is up in
arms against this propaganda,
particularly with reference to
Italy. Recently, the British
launched a cCunter-offensive in
the ether to offset broadcasts
which the Italians have been
directing toward British colonies
in Africa.

THOSE who are looking over
l. the hill see some breaks COM
ing shortly. For example, there
is a large life insurance COM
pany in New York which is ad-
vance-planning to spend $780,
100000 (count them) on a new
rental building project. AS soon
as the housing bill is passed, the
company will seek an amend
ment to New York State inSur-
ance laws which will permit it
to go into the rental-building
business. At least it has so in
formed Administration officials
privately.
Executives of this concern
have noted the bond market is
not what it used to be. Looking
for other places in which to in
vest their money for a safe re-
turn, they have discovered the
field of housing, not low-cost or
slums clearance, but white-col-
lar housing. They figure this
may net them 5 per cent in good
times and at least 2, 3 or 4 in
bad times with no more than
a bond risk.
One other large insurance
company is planning a similar
step.
THIS and other housing moves
l. will not be effective econom-
ically for five to eight months,
nor will the expected increase
in freight rates from the ICC.
Whatever increase is granted,
the railroads will not be able to
spend it until the cash starts
coming in. All of which, of
course, is still another reason
why the economists now think
as they do.
THE considerations involve
Il only economic factors and
not the political ones which no
one can foresee. Such things
as the oil convictions for price
fixing (after the Government
encouraged price fixing to save
the industry, the SEC move to
bulldoZe the Stock Exchange
into stricter regulations, the
iva court threat against pri-
vate business, the move to kill
bank holding companies and the
probably disappointing results of
the business conferences at the
White House-theSe separate
handfuls of dirt thrown at busi-
ness, whether justified or not,
may fill the air with so much
dust as to stifle economic fac
tors.
Note-The abnormal bulge in
nonagricultural income for De-
cember is a natural statistical
deformity due to dividends
forced out by the corporate tax.

Quoted secretly by Commerce Sec

never be. The official reason
is it was done in a hurry by wire
and was not complete. But 1t
was complete enough to indicate
the stocks of goods held by pri-
mary manufacturers is quite
high.
No wire canvass was needed
to confirm known situation

the canvass showed manufactur-
ing stocks on hand are high IN
electrical equipment and some
other industries. Retail and
wholesale inventories were in
fairly good shape. Pre-Christ.
mas sales campaigns in retail
stores were successful in keeping
the shelves from becoming over
loaded.
But the primary producers
still have lot of goods on hand
to be moved. Until this goods Is

sumers, the wheels of factories
cannot even be stepped up high
enough to meet current demand.
To do it will require several

Factory output has been in e

But farm income is now only

In other words, the factory

Smoking Once Was Crime;
Offenders Sent to Jail

In a collection of family papers
found in France was letter which
revealed the fact that in 1852 Ger
mans were grumbling because the
Berlin chief of police had issued an
order which strictly forbade tobac-
co-smoking in the street. First Of
tenders were liable to fine of two
thalers, while hardened criminals
caught repeating the offence were
actually sent to the gaol, says a
writer in Pearson's London Week
ly. !,
In Pomerania there is legend
that the Devil invented tobacco-but
smoking goes on all the same.
Though tobacco growing is one OF
the leading industries of Turkey,
there was time when anyone
caught smoking had his pipe thrust
none too gently into his nostrils by
the Sultan military police. In Rus
STA, hogging was once penalty for
smokers. and a man who continued
in the habit was to have his nose
slit.
And Pope Urban the Eighth sent
to every church a message sternlS
denouncing smoking, to be read t
the congregation by the parish
priest But tobacco won III thi
end.

Drunk, Arrested,
Wrecks Interior of Jail

Mike Pierce, WPA worker, was
arrested and jailed Saturday even
ing for being intoxicated and dis
turbing the peace.
Upon being left to himself in the
city jail he proceeded to tear up and
destroy the lavatory fixtures. After
completing this job he threw the
broken objects against an unbreak-
able window and shattered 1t beyond
repair.
AT this point of the game the night
policeman, Geo Bryant, returned to
! the city hall. He found the floor Of
the fire hall covered with water
and upon investigation discovered
the game which Mr.. Pierce was play
ing by himself. Mr.. Bryant then
locked Mr.. Pierce in the cage
Thinking that the prisoner had done
all of the damage that he could, the
officer left to make his rounds again,
After short time he again returned
to the jail and upon peerlng into
the cell discovered huge stack o.
mattress stuffing. The prisoner hae
been busy again, this time tearing
up the mattresses and stufflng the
entrails through the holes in the
cage.
Monday evening when the prison
er was brought before the court III
plead guilty and was fined $500
This amount should take care of re
pairs on the jail.
This is the re-enactment of
similar case which took place abou
three years ago when the city lai
was torn to pieces.

Thought Precious Stones
Protection From Disease

In earlier times precious stones
were supposed to have supernatural
and medicinal powers. Certain
stones gave protection from sorcer-
ers or vampires, disease, poison or
evil spirits. Others put spell on
enemies, enabled their owners to
see distant events, cure illnesses,
and look into the past or future.
They were also believed to insure
good luck.
Practically the only ideas of this
kind surviving in Britain, says Pear
sons London Weekly, are that
pearls bring tears, that opals are
unlucky and lose their brillianee
while the person wearing them IS
i'll.
Many a French bride will not
wear pearls on her wedding day,
believing them TO be omens of tears
to come.

gin to lick it with its Pickering

The ancient scientist Cardanus adj
vised people to wear jet, to avoid

declared that the emerald split as
soon as it touched the skin OF ar
adulterer.
The French used to believe tina
sapphires soaked in vinegar made
