mandant of the infantry school,
cited the recipients for heroism in
the incident. which occurred while

on Upatoi Creek March 6.
The soldiers had completed their
part OF the problem and were on the
bank of the stream when the visitors
were invited to cross a newly con-
structed footbridge The unnamed
journalists failed to keep moving
with the result too much weight was
concentrated at one point, Army
officers said.

received high praise from Wash

party accompanying the Journalists
from Argentina at the time of the
accident.
Harry w. Frantz, associate director

helping save the lives of the visitors,
has insisted ever since the accident
that most credit belonged to the
soldiers who finally took the whole
group to shore
Mr.. F'rantz was in the group which
was precipitated into the flood
swollen stream, and according to
eyewitnesses helped to hold up the
visitors until Army help arrived.

Senate Radio Bill HEARING
Set for September
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Wheeler has postponed
until September hearings by the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee on the Wheeler-Whiter radio
bill.
The legislation, sponsored jointly
with Senator White, Republican, of
Maine, is designed to define the au-
thority of the Federal Communica- a.
tions Commission over radio broad
casting.
Senator Wheeler said in a state
ment yesterday that in view of an
expected recess of Congress during
July and the continuance of a pend
ing hearing on railroad legislation,
''it seems unwise to proceed at this
time" on the other proposal.
With Senator Whites concur
renee, he said, it was his purpose to
begin the radio hearings 'in the
early days of September and to
proceed with them uninterruptedly
with the hope that the committee
may speedily come to a definite con-
cluSion as to recommendations"
