Wenatehee against the Pacific
Brosdossting company Of Tacoma
goes 70 trial. It developed at a
preliminary hearing before Judge

cancel certain clauses of their
contracts with Pacific Broad

the contract virtually no con-
tract.

Of thought by the plaintiffs came
on July when Rogan Jones. presi-
dent Of companies operating both
KVOS and KPQ. notified Pacific
Broadeasting company that they
would no longer broadcast certain
commercial news and serial pro-
grams.
Upon receipt Of this notice Pa
cific Broadoasting company noti-
fled kVOS and kPQ that they had
preached their contracts and that
network service would be stopped
at midnight, July L. On that date
the plaintiffs filed SUIT and OBJ
tanned an injunction against the
broadeasting company enjoining
them from severing the network
connections.

tween networks and their

Automatic Radio Device
Demonstrated by {. A. A.

A new automatic radio device
which makes an aviation radio
range station out of any kind OF
radio-sending set was demonstrated
today by the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority in its new flying laboratory
In 25-minute flight over Wash
ington, the big airliner used the
towers of Station WJSV and the
airways station on the Mount Ver-
non highway as base points for a
double air naviga ton problem.
Using the device, it is possible to
work out an instrument approach
of 500 miles with a navigational er-
ror of less than l mile and to fly
exactly over any radio station which
can be tuned in.
The device now is undergoing an
IL l.000mile flight demonstration to
acquaint air transport operators
with the device, which not only is
expected to become standard air
line equipment. but which also may
play an important part in military
operations.

Head Tells of Stroin
With Short Vacations

Announcement that Earle w Cas-

IAN extended leave of absence" was
made last night by Welfare Director
Robert E Bondy at the end of a
two-day investigation of Tuesday S
riot at the institution.
This development came after II
had been declared that investiga-
tors had found no single individual
on whom blame might be placed" for
difficulties at the institution. In
fact, after conferring with Mr.
Bondy, Commissioner John Russell
Young had said he believed the
difficulties were not serious and
that he was informed the children
at the institution had been well-fed
and well-treated.
There had been denials that Dis
trict wards at the institution had
been subjected to any harsh treat
ment
Mr.. Cassie explained that he had
been under strain for several
years. that he had not had full
vacation for quite a number of
years. He said he had been at the
institution for 18 years and that
during that time he had not been
away at any one time for as much
as one month. 1t was said he had
10 days of leave due him.
Mr.. Cassie described to reporters
Tuesday nights difficulties as be-
ing the last straw" and Yesterday
afternoon he applied for leave. say
ing he intended to vacation in
Florida. His leave began this morn
ing.
Welfare officials have insisted the
institution had faced difficulties in
obtaining and keeping adequate per-
sonnel even under available ap-
propriations Mr.. Cassie, in fact.

Fiscal Problems

The House was told today by its
District Committee that adoption of
the Overton formula for fixing the
amount of the annual Federal pay
| ment toward municipal expenses
| here would rest the fiscal relations
problem on "a stable basis free of
! uncertainty, bitter controversy and
! ceaSeleSS Wrangle.'
The views of the committee are
outlined in a formal report which
was filed with the House coinci-
dental with the placing of the Over
ton bill on the calendar. The COM
mittee yesterday by a 7-to-4 vote
ordered a favorable report on the
measure after adopting an amend
ment suggested by President RooSe-
welt which would require that the
appropriations allocated each wear
for capital Improvements at least
equal the amount of the Federal
payment.
Adoption OF the Overton plan. 1t
is estimated. would increase the
present annual S6,000,0O0 Federal
payment to approximately $4,000, ,00C
in the coming fiscal year, beginning
July l.
The Overton bill. which already
has passed the Senate, is now in a
position to be called up in the House
Monday. the second District day of
the month.
A move is being made, however
to have the Rules Committee grant
a special rule to give it preferred
status on the calendar so that it
could be called up on some day
other than District day.
The formula embodied in the bill
is that the annual Federal payment
will bear the same ratio to the total
general fund appropriations as the
land owned by the United States in
the District bears to the entire land
area.
