Radio Corporation of America today failed in its attempt to prevent the Radio Commission from holding hearings which may result In revocation of the 1409 licenses held by corporation subsidiaries. Justice Bailey of the District of Columbia Supreme Court denied the subsidiaries an injunction to prevent the hearings, set for next Monday, but kept the case upon the docket.

He explained that developments might warrant the injunction later. The commission will have before it the question whether the Radio Corporation violated antimonopoly provisions of the Radio Act in making a radio tube contract which violated antitrust laws. Under Section 13 of the Radio Act the commission must refuse licenses to concerns which have attempted to monopolize radio communication. The antitrust decision was made in a Delaware Federal Court and upheld by a Circuit Court of Appeals. The commission then fixed the hearings as test cases on a number of licenses held by the National Broadcasting Company and three other subsidiaries of the corporation.

Louis Titus, counsel for the subsidiaries, issued a statement saylne the decision protects the position of the Radio Corporation. Titus attacked the constitutionality of Section 13.

NOW. Easier io Read. Wider (glumns, Biqqerliji TIMES CLASSIFIED ADS I Among 100 Present Brookhart, Chief Speaker, I. rges Bank Changes CHICAGO, June 12. (Exclusive) About 100 persons answered the call today to a two-day "Illinois Progressive Republican conference" at the Auditorium Hotel.

Nevertheless, the sponsors considered it a fair start toward the launching of a complete slate of national. State and county candidates in the Republican primary next spring According to the keynote of Newton K. Jenkins, who initiated the movement and presided at the sessions, 'the object now in view Is only a primary battle within the ranks of the party. The well known faces in the session were chiefly adherents of the Old Bull Moose or the La Fol-lette cause, but there was also a strong element of service men interested in the demand for full payment of the Federal bonus immediately. United States Senator Brookhart of Iowa, one of the radicals, was the principal speaker of the first day.

BANK. CHANGES URGED The Senator's speech was largely the same one that he has been delivering before Chatauquas and other gatherings, chiefly a demand that co-operative banking with a second reserve bank be established under the Farm Board. As usual, the Iowan charged that the present depression is due to mistreatment of the farmer, that big business deliberately inflated the farming industry in 1919 and just as deliberately effected its sudden and disastrous deflation in 1920. He contended that the Farm Board should have $2,000,000,000 at its disposal to handle the surplus of all cereals and cotton. "Suppose we do have a loss?" he said.

"The Treasury of the United States owes this to tne farmer." He closed by predicting that 'a progressive" can be nominated in the Republican primary next year. In his keynote speech Chairman Jenkins, who was a candidate for the United States Senate in 1924 i and J328. said he is opposed to the i renomination of President Hoover and the statement was met with I applause. OTHERS SPEAK Prof. Charles E.

Merriman of the University of Chicago. Prof. A. R. Hatton of Northwestern University.

Thomas K. Davey, service man, and George C. Jewett, Chicago banker, spoke at the afternoon meeting. Dr. Merriman urged the Progressives to adopt a defensive policy for the protection of direct primaries and an aggressive policy for the adoption of a corrupt practices act in Illinois.

He recommended particularly a requirement for publicity of campaign expenditures, limitations as to sources of such funds and some sort of limitation in the expense of manning the polls. Prof. Hatton labeled Illinois "not only a background, but a reactionary State" in permitting home rule to cities He advocated the granting of complete home rule either by the Constitution or by statute.

lying with eighteen dead 120 feet down In the Yellow Sea. The Pigeon will attempt to raise the Poisedon tomorrow from her tragic berth where she lies after collision Tuesday with the Chinese steamer Yuta. The American rescue ship arrived late yesterday from Tsingtao to aid several British and Japanese vessels. Weather conditions -were so bad the Americans would not prophesy success, but were hopeful.

(JP) A "hot knife" for surgery, progress In a cure for congenital dislocation of the hip, and tracing of colds and Indigestion to strange causes were come of the subjects discussed at the closing session of the annual convention of the American Medical Association today. -he "hot knife" is not so warm to the touch barely 120 deg Fah- "renheit but it is deadly to cancer cells. It is equally deadly to all rapidly growing cells, but is not so lethal for the great mass of normal cells which have passed their growth period. For these reasons it is useful in cancer surgery to prevent malignant cells from being cut loose to1 wander around elsewhere in the body. It is a loop of special wire electrically heated, and was described byA.

C. Scott. M.D.. of the Scott White Clinic, Temple, Tex. RADIATES ON WOUND "It radiates on the surface of wounds," he said, "thus sterilizing any malignant cells which may have escaped from the tumoi mass, or from the injured lymph nodes and vessels.

One may spread disease with cold scalpel, but it is impossible to spread any kind of disease with a hot Instrument." Congenital dislocation of the hip may be cured in its earliest stages by manipulating the joint into place, said Charles H. Jaeger, M.D.. of New York City. He said the treatment is new and has been used in several cases. A splint holds the leg in the proper position while i a pressure pad, without violence, gradually pushes the dislocated bone into its socket.

NEW SLANT ON COLDS Seeming common colds which are not really colds, but manifestations of the strange sensitivity called allergy, were discussed by Milton B. Cohen. M.D., and Jack A. Rudolph M.D., of Cleveland. Allergy is an exaggerated susceptibility to a substance harmless to most persons Thirty-four cases of digestiv disturbances traced to the thyroid gland were reported by J.

Russell Verbrycke. M.D., of Washington, D. C. He considered them remarkable because the thyroid in each case apparently was normal. The lact that the thyroids were not functioning properly was discovered through use of one of the most delicately balanced tests of science, measurement of the basal metabolism rate, wlich mean the amount of energy expended by the body when at ret.

SENSITIVE TO FOOD Other obscure digestive ditoidcrs due to food allergy were described by Albert H. Rowe. M.D.. of Oakland, Cal. The stomach for no apparent reason becomes sensitive to a perfectly good food.

Sometimes this unexpected poison may be Identified by rubbing specially nrepared extracts of the food into the skin. If the skin becomes inflamed, it Is a sign of possible allergy. There are also other methods "Family history," said Dr. Rowe, "often shows that several members of a family show strong intolerance for certain foods, such as milk or eggs. If a person says he does not like certain foods, he may have good reasons for his dislikes, as he may show sensitivity to these foods.

Many persons who nave a food allergy, however, are not aware of any food disagreement." Rondout Mail Robber Slain STILLWELL iKan.)

(P The attention of the conference of young Republicans was focused again today on President Hoover as Cabinet officers and party speakers called for an aggressive campaign in 1932. Secretary Hurley, in concluding the conference program tonlgnt, re cited the record of Mr. Hoover, denounced his critics, termed his policies "progressive and aggressive, and urged that "we keep the leadership of the Republican party sincere, intelligent and patriotic." VISIT PRESIDENT President Hoover, whose renomi-nation and re-election were predicted by administration speakers through the two days of the conference, late today received the young Republicaas the White House.

The sessions during the day were presided over by Robert H. Luoas, executive director of the Republican National Committee, who called the gathering. He proposed another conference on the eve of the next Republican national convention in the convention city, a year hence. The conference stood and gave three cheers for the President after Secretary Hyde had declared "President Hoover is all right." A moment later Allan Hoover, son of the President, was applauded as Lucas asked him to stand In his place among the delegates. SPEECHES PRACTICAL The speeches by the young Republicans themselves were devoted principally to discussions of campaign work and party activities.

Many of the group of men and women filling the meeting hall at the New Wlllard Hotel were called on to speak by Lucas. W. Kingsland Macy, chairman ot the New York State committee, as sailed "corruption" in the New York City and State government. Explaining he did not hold Gov. Roosevelt.

Mayor Walker or the head of Tammany Hall personally responsible for the conditions of which he complained. Macy said: "Tnese gentlemen can be held le- sponsible for conditions only in so far as they fail to keep their own households in order, in so far as they fail tc lead their own party along proper lines and in so far as they allow themselves to become the beneficiaries of a wicked system. It is the system we are fight ing." I'SE FOR MALLETS The two Cabinet members condemned the critics of President Hoover and blamed opposition to him to politics. Hyde called upon the young Republicans to go to the War Department and get some polo mallets to use on the "ye.s-but" members of the party. Hurley said Mr.

Hoover in his other undertakings had the undivided support of the nation, but, he complained, "as the leader of the Republican party and as President of the government his way is beset by political opponents, able strategists, molders of public opinion, who criticise and obstruct his plans and try to defeat his policies for their own political purposes." Hurley listed among the Hoover accomplishments the Senate's ratification of the French debt settlement, the London treaty limiting naval construction, the agreement to sustain wages of labor during depression, the program of public construction, the new tariff bill, which, he said, "has many faults and iniquities, but is the best the Presldenr could get from Congress;" i InrraaoAl Ttct rrt nn rt Immlrrrotirtn and deportation of aliens, defeat of the "dole" and further development of inland waterways.

He said President Hoover "has kept his head" through the period of depression.

Mayor Harrison of Louisville in a speech on the duties and qualifications of political workers cited the words of Calvin Coolldge on political philosophy: "To try to do the right thing and sometimes succeed." His speech made no reference to candidates or the President. AIDES THANKED The conference adopted without discussion or dissent a resolution offered by Chester J. Hinton of Indiana, extending thanks "to the men of all parties who have cooperated with President Hoover in maintaining industry and high wages, avoiding labor disturbances, expanding public works, effecting economies and relieving unemployment." The resolution also declared: "We have faith In our pilot; we have faith in our ship; we have faith In our destiny." At the White House each delegate was introduced to President and Mrs. Hoover and a group photograph was taken. AUSTRALIAN LABOR BACKS ECONOMIES CANBERRA (Australia) June 12.
