There's hope tor NaterDufN C1 all the cues III country to win the 19i6 Grand National Achievement Award of the Noise Abatement Council - Chicago! Imagine that, The Old Windy City is free from necessary noise, they say. Apparently they don't count the reported rattle of machine guns the gang sters mow another down, political speeches. etc. Why not send some of automobile wedding parties out there to break the "sience?" Chicago may become too compacent. Here's another little interesting bit of statistical data. Connecticut and New Jersey share fourth place in the national lineup of the number of families owning radios. Massachusetts with 977 per cent radio ownership leads the United States. Rhode Island ranks second with 97.6 percent New York third and the Nutmeg and Mosquitoe states fourth Of New York numerically speaking leads all the states but the proportional family basis, the Bay State stands tops Incidentally the l. s. Census Bureau reports s., 99S000 radio families in the country Promoter James J. Hennessy of the Waterbury band of Mt. Manresa Re- treatants will lead the largest group of local Catholic laymen in the movements history to the famous Staten Island mission home next Friday It will be the 30th successive year that "jim" has made the pilgrimage. Thirty years without miss. As the retreat spreads throughout the country this record looms impressive with the passing of time. He has been the central figure in the local campaign which is supported by three different retreatant bands.

Remote control for the unit can
also be provided if it must be placed
in position which is not easily ac-
cessible. The rays from the unit
are harmless to human beings and
will not affect the eyes or burn the

has another advantage in that it cuts

Transcript of Testimony
An indication of the difficulties
under which Chairman Spence has
labored IN proceeding with hearings
is given by transcript of testimony
June IS, the day on which House
hearings began.
Senator Taft was on the stand
testifying in support of the bill when
the hearing was interrupted as fol-
lows.
Representative Buffet, Republi-
can, of Nebraska-Mr Chairman,
the House is in session. Is it in
orGel for the committee to continue?
Chairman Spence - Yes, unless
some one makes the point Of order
Representative Patman, Democrat.
Of TeXaS-What is the situation in
the House? Is there a roll call now?
Chairman Spence-The bells have
rung for quorum.
Mr.. Buffett-Mr. Chairman, I re-
gret the necessity of turning off my
colleague from Ohio, but I must
object to this committee sitting at
this time
Mr.. Patman-Will the gentleman
withhold his point Of order, just for
a moment The call in the House is

for the purpose of getting quorum
There are some of us who do not
mind staying here without answer
ing the quorum call. hope the gen.
tleman will not object to our staying
here and listening to the testimony
so that it may be matter of record
Buffet Objects.
Mr.. Buffet-It is not practical for
this committee to come to a decision
on matter of this importance with
out a good general attendance. I dc
not think this committee should sit
when the House is in session in the
closing days of session. when we
have very important matters COM
ing up. So I am constrained tc
object.
Mr.. Patman-Will the gentleman
hold his point of order for a mo-
ment?
Representative Monroney, Demo-
Graf, of Oklahoma-Mr. Chairman
in view of the tremendous load OF
work that the Senators have on their
calendar, think it would be only
fair for some of us to stay here and
listen to the distinguished Senator
from Ohio until he completes his
statement.
He has as great work load as any
member of the House or Senate. and
1 think it would be only courteous
on our part to continue so that the
members of the other body may ad-
Just their time as nearly as possible
to their program for the day.
Mr.. Buffet regret that I do not
find it practical to yield my judg-
ment to that purpose. As much as
think Of the Senator from Ohio
1 think this problem should be ap.
preached in an orderly manner, anc
I do not believe this procedure vii
accomplish that.
Calls Procedure Usual.
Chairman Spence-We are no
approaching it in any unusual man.
ner This has been done right along
1t has not been unusual for us to 81,
and hear testimony while the House
was in session. This is the first time
since I have been here that I have
heard point of order made in this
! situation.
Mr.. Buffet am surprised that
am the first one that has ever
made it,
Mr.. Patman-I have been here Il
years and a good deal of that time
on this committee, and this is the
first time I have ever heard it.
Mr. Buffett-If the rule is no good
it should not be on the books.
Representative Thorn. Democrat
of Ohio-I move that the hearings
continue until Senator Taft con.
cludes his testimony.

Creek Indians Sue
U. 5. for $50, 100000
In ROYALTIES Claim

More than $4,000 Greek Indians
will be affected by the outcome of a
suit on file in District Court today
through which their tribe seeks to
collect S150000,000 in royalties al
legedly due from the United States.
The tribe sought per capita COL
lection by its members when it filed
the action yesterday through its
National Counsel. Named as de-
fendant, in his official capacity, was
Interior Secretary Krug.
The suit designated, as grounds
for the action. a congressional law
of March /, 1901. and the Repeal
Act of April 26, 1906, together with
all supplementary acts relating to
affairs of the tribe.
According to the suit the tribe
owned or owns certain lands, rivers.

resources in Oklahoma. The suit
stated that under the legislation
the United States agreed to sell
lease o. rent certain surplus prop

in the United States Treasury to
be held in trust for the Indians.
The suit explained it was further
agreed that, when the Indians re-
quired or requested per capita pay
ment OF such funds, the payments
would be made promptly
Formal demands and requests fol
payment have been made, but the
United States has refused and still
refuses to make distribution of the
funds, the suit stated, although
such an act is mandatory upon Mr.
Krug in his official capacity. The
suit requests that he be ordered
to do so.
c. w. Ward, president of the
National Counsel of the Greek tribe
said that around 1904 about $5 was
paid to each member of the tribe as
brave money" and that few years
later SGT was paid to each man
About 1918, he added. some $4,000
900 was set aside by the Government

It Won't Work

Wilmington business and industrial
leaders, especially those concerned with
the building industry in all its branches,
were quick to condemn the new regu-
lations governing building, remodeling
and repairs, as unavoidable and i'm
practical.
Says ]. G. Thornton, president of In
dustrial Properties, Inc, which has had
leading part in expanding Whining
tons industrial resources, lit stops our
building program cold"
1T will increa an already sizeable
black market in building materials"
is the testimony of E. R. Wilson, build
ing supply company manager. A prom
inent contractor fails to see how the
building industry can provide homes
when nothing is done to encourage
material manufacturers to produce"
Obviously the Civilian Production
Administration, created to direct the
program, is in the pattern of other
bureaus which failed so pitifully dur
ing the war to reach the goals set for
them, chiefly because they were ad-
ministered by dreamers, men with no
practical experience in the business they
were empowered to control but having
strong political backing.
This may or may not be the case
in the CPA, but it is apparent that it's
program is the product of dream.
The position of Wilmington's lead
ers finds substantial support in the at
titude of national industrial spokesman.
The National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards, the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, manufacturers
and builders oppose the program for
the same reasons given by the local
opponents.
It just won't work. And as con-
sequence the splendid object of pro-
viding homes for veterans is in ieop-
ardy.
Unless, forsooth, the dreamers
who drafted the program are counting
on the timely arrival of a Fairy God
mother.
