Listening In Radio reception Wednesday night wag excellent In general. There may have been localized Interfer- nce but most sets were clear. Wltli WHT operating on a lower wave length Wednesday night Havana, Cuba could not pet through the WOK, Chicago broadcast. The two seems on Identical wave lengths Pennsylvania, the association of commerce has organized a "radio council," which Is, In reality, an organization of Pittsburgh radio dealers under the direction ot association, for purpose of arousing public Interest in radio and radio problems. MAT TAKE UP FIGHT.

It cannot bs definitely announced as but It la hoped that some time in near Deeatur Association of will take an active part In clean-up campaign to rid Decatur of local ference. need for to take leadership Is obrlous. radio dealers cannot get together Seemingly there Is the fear that the "other fellow" will get most ot the benefits and are cries of "outlaw dealers" who stoop to a i methods of competition an.4 whn really benefit by organization protection. The city administration, members of the council and mayor, i that, with coming city election and other matters, both political and administrative. they have no time for consideration of radio problem.

PROBLEM SERIOUS. If the city was responslbls for none of the radio trouble, then that would be a different matter and there would be a reason for what appears to be "passing the buck" to Individual radio fans and to radio dealers. Perhaps the strongest reason for this, however, Is that city officials do not realize the seriousness of the Interference question. There should be no shirking or avoiding of the radio Issue in Decatur, even by politicians. Candidates for commissioner are already being questioned as to their stand on terference and as to what they will do, if elected to the office they seek.

WORTH CONSIDERING. Perhaps, If the association of commerce takes a hand, then the city fathers may find that their Interest Is prodded Into activity. At any rate, the Decatur radio public hopes so. Ambitious candidates for public favor. It the editor's findings are of any value, don't know what they are sacrificing by their neglect ot the radio Interference with WOK having better of the argument.

House Rejects Substitutes For McNary-Haugen Bill Both Aswell and Curtis-Crisp Measures Defeated as Relief Proposal Nears Final Vote. Washington, Feb. Rushing towards a final vote on the McNary-Hausren farm relief hill, tlm house today rejected In rapid order the Aswell and Curtis-Crisp measures which were offered as substitutes. The vote against the A swell bill was 160 to 144 while that against the Crisp measure was 177 to 136. Neither wag a roll call vote and both bills can be offered later as substitutes although friends the Mc- Nary-Haugcn bill professed tu see in today's test the tokens of the victory which they claim.

READY TO VOTE. Advocates of the SFi Nary-Haugen farm relief bill will attempt to force a vote late today and if their mr is unsuccessful they believe the final roll call on the measure i be not later than 5'p. in. Chairman Ha-ugen of the agriculture committee In of the bill "Id that while there had been numerous requesta by house members for time to air their views, the great bulk of the house appeared ready to vote. The house then rejected 110 to 33 ft move to substitute the debenture farm relief bill framed by Representative Jones, Democrat, Texas.

SEES SOVIETISM RESULTING FROM McNARY MEASURE McXary-TIaugen farm relief bill leads in the direction of Sovietlsm and enactment of the measure would lie a long stride toward that condition.

"It means," he said, "that a particular class of our people, acting through representatives of their own choosing are to be clothed with tremendous powers oter the very means of life Itself affecting vitally the lives anfl fortunes of the whole people, "I cannot bring myself to believe th.it the courts will ever sustain such legislation." The house leader attacked principally the sections of the bill providing for selection of a farm board by the president from a list of previously This nominated Individuals, he contended, clearly strlcted the executive's constitutional right to select agents of the government wltout Interference except with the advice and consent of the senate. Tilson charged that If farm relief legislation falls at this session "Those who have so persistently Insisted upon one particular bill or no thins; at all will not be free from blame for the result." "I do not believe" ha declared, "the bill to be a solution of the farm relief problem at all. I believe a In long; run the one who.
