BAN ON RADIO SERVICE
TO NORWAY IS UPHELD
Court Backs. r. &C. G. Refusal to
Issue Permit to Mackey
Firm to Compete.

1Irm TO compete.
Refusal OF the Federal Communica-
tions Commission to license Mackay
Radio Il Telegraph Co., Inc, to op-
crate public radiotelegraph service
between the United States and Nor
way was upheld today by the United
States Court Of Appeals.
The radio company, a unit in the
Mackay international system, con-
tended the commission was required
by law to permit it to compete with
the Radio Corp. Of America Communi-
cations, Inc, which. it said. has q
monopoly on the Norway traffic.
Pointing out that the traffic to
Norway is small and from Norway to
the United States is practically negli-
gible, the court said there was moth
ing to indicate the finding by the
commission that public interest would
not be served by the additional license
was arbitrary.
III Congress had had the odd inten-
ton Of requiring the commission to
issue second license wherever a first
had been issued, Congress could easily
have said so." remarked the court in
support OF its conclusion that there
is nothing in the Communications Act
requiring the setting up Of competi-
ton.

SAYS UNCERTAINTY
BEWILDERs BUSINESS

Representative Hartley Cites N.
L. R. BIS Order Calling for
Written Inland Steel Contract.
By the Associated Press.
Representative Hartley, Republican,
Of New Jersey said yesterday that
business men are "bf wildered'' by the
uncertainties" Of the New Deal.
He cited a decision Of the National
Labor Relations Board requiring the
Inland Steel Co. to sign a contract
with employees If they reach an under
standing with them.
Mr.. Hartley asserted in a statement
that Senator Wagner, Democrat, Of
New York, had asserted in 1885 that
the National Labor Relations Act re-
quired on employer to sign any type
Of agreement.
apparently, Senator Wagner was
mistaken in what he thought was
written into his own bill, and he must
have a feeling akin to sympathy for
the beWildered business man who
doesn't know what it is all about"
Mr.. Hartley said.

CHINA PLANS DRIVE
TO RETAKE CAPITAL
Victories at TaierhChWang
and on Tsinpu Line Inspire
Offensive.
By the Associated Press

SHANGHAI, April 11.-Chinese said
today they were preparing a gigantic
| drive toward the Yangtze River in an
effort to retake Marking. the capital
they lost to japanese last Decem-
| ber IL.
Reporting new sweeping victories
along the Tientsin- -Puwok Railway and
Taierhchwang fronts, the Chinese
saw these asserted victories as the
inspiration for the new offensive.
A strong Chinese force along the
Tlentsin-Pukow line, awaiting an ex-
pected japanese drive northward
against SuchoW, was reported ready
to change its tactics and strike out
toward Pengpu, about 100 miles north
of Marking
Admit Three Chinese Attacks.
japanese acknowledged three Chi
nese attacks in the vicinity of Pengpu,
but said they were repulsed and that
Chinese losses were heavy.
The ambitious offensive mapped bv
the Chinese includes a flanking often
slve against Wuhu. up river from
Nanklng and through region where
Japanese constantly are harried BY
guerrilla attacks; drive northWard
from the Yellow River in an effort
to push japanese from its north bank
and through Shansi Province; ulti-
mately a northward movement along
the Peiping-H -Hankow Railway, and
then, If successful, a push against
Peiping and Tientsin, with the aid
OF the 100000 or so Chinese Reds
who have established Soviet state
in the heart of Hopeh Province.
Heavy japanese reinforcements were
pouring into Shantung Province yes
terday from North China and Tsing-
tao, Shantung seaport, to prevent a
threatened isolation of Japanese
legions along the Tientsin- Pukow
Railway.
Canton Bombed.
Far in the south. Japanese bombed
Canton Sunday. More than 100 per-
sons, including many girl workers in
weaving plant, were reported killed.
Chinese forces from Suiyuan Prov
ince operating along the Peiping-
Suiyuan Railway reported they had
captured the important railway town
Of Taochen. Chinese authorities said
this afforded an advantageous posi-
tion for an advance eastward against
Peiping.
Although the japanese have as
serted they eliminated opposition in
Shansi Province, foreign military OBJ
servers estimate there are still between
100000 and 100000 Chinese soldiers
north of the Yellow River.
Two Universities Bombed.
HANKOW, April IL Pl.-Tsinghau
University and Human University were
hard hit when japanese bombing
planes raided Changsha, in Tunan
Province, yesterday.
Tsinghau University originally was
established at Peiping with a portion
of the Boxer indemnity funds America
gave back to China. It was removed
from Peiping after the outbreak of the
present war.
Reports from Changsha said several
university buildings were destroyed in
the raid and so students were casual

meath the glare of a brilliant sun

The doughty leader Of the late

verely scores the President, infer
entially, for the rank conferred
on Son Jimmy. whose military ex-
perience is practically nil, con-
Sisting as it does in a framed
membership certificate in the An
cient and Honorable Artillery
Company, of Boston, which has
not fired a gun since the black
powder days, but which knocks
'em off their feet socially and on

The White House friends, fol-
lowing this blast, call discreet at
tention to General Johnson'S war
record which was largely in Wash
ington. Also they endeavor to
give the impression that the gen.

periences included the writing of
books for boys. Administration
friends apparently try to give the
impression the books were pitched
to the tune of Five Little Pep

The truth about the rank Of
lieutenant colonel Of reserves in
the Marine Corps attached to
James is that when the President
went to South America he had
his son as aide and the South
Americans just did not know how
to treat, talk to, or seat at table

ARNOLD VOTED
APP PROVAL BY
SENATE GROUP
Borah Reserves Action
After Hearing

U.NS.) Senate confirmation of
Prof. Thurman w. Arnold, of Yale
University, to be Assistant Attor-
ney General, was recommended
by a Senate Judiciary subcommit-
tee today, following a brief hear
ing on his qualifications.
Before a throng that jammed
the committee room in eXpecta-
ton Of seeing the 47-year-old pro-
fessor get a grilling from his sena-
torial examiners, Arnold declared
he was thoroughly in favor of
vigorous enforcement of the anti
trust laws. That is to be his job
in the Department of Justice. But
the grilling turned out to be
rather mild.
CITES JACKSON AID
Asked by Senator Borah (R.) of
Idaho whether he believed in en-
forcement of the antitrust laws,
Prof. Arnold replied:
''The shortest answer I can
give to that is that I have
worked intensely with Robert H.
Jackson during the last year
and have never known of any
disagreement. I think enforce
ment of the antitrust law
should be vigorous and should
be fair"
Borah questioned Arnold on
statements in the latter's book,
"The Folklore of Capitalism" a
Satirical narrative of monopolieS
and antitrust laws. There was a
ripple of laughter when Arnold
said he "had not thought of this
hearing when I write the book"
"Then this book is a prepa-
ration for your attack on mo-
nopolieS and trusts?" Borah
asked.
II hope So" replied Arnold.
AGAINST MONOPOLIES
"Do you believe in breaking
up monopolies?" Borah per.
sisted.
Certainly"
Frankly" Borah said, II
came to the conclusion, after
reading your book, that you did
not believe in the philosophy of
the antitrust laws. I am inter-
ested in having someone there
Tin the Department of JuStice)
whose heart is in enforcement
of the antitrust laws. If one
doesn't have his heart in it, as
the last two years have demon
strated, nothing will be accom- I
plished."
Arnold said he thought it a {
dangerous practice" to settle
antitrust cases around the ]
table,"
2 RESERVE VOTES
The approval of the five COM
mittee members was by voice
vote.
Chairman O'Mahoney CD of
wyoming and Senators Nicely
CD Of West Virginia and Hughes
CD Of Delaware shouted aye"
Senators Borah (RD of Idaho
and Burke CD of Nebraska re-
served the right to oppose his
confirmation on the Senate floor.
Borah said he wanted to ex-
plore Arnold's writings and rec
ord further before reaching a
final conclusion over his fitness
to enforce the antitrust laws. =

TO BUILD ORCHARD TOPSOIL
Straw Mich Found to Be a Cheap
and Better Method

Orchard soils, like any other.
must retain fertility to continue
producing good crops. A majority
of orchards are on sloping land.
and thus susceptible to washing. A
good cover crop, together with
modified cultural practices, ter
races, annual burrows, diversion
bitches, sodded waterways, and
perennial buffer strips are soil con
servation practices used by many
orchardists. Some orchards, how
ever, have lost so much topson that
it is difficult to grow a cover crop.
The Soil Conservation Service.
working with cooperating orchard
lists in New Jersey, found a heavy
mulch applied in the fall and pillow
ed under in the spring is the cheap
est and most practical means of re-
gaining fertility. This should be
repeated annually for or 3 years.
Where a straw mulch was used
they found it necessary to add 10
to IS pounds of nitrogen fertilizer
to each ton of straw. When 4
legume mulch was applied the nj
trogen was unnecessary.
