THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1931 \, DISPLAYING |SPECIAL SHOWING | Thursday Afternoon and Commercial Sree Caravan Evening April 23rd Copelin Motor Co. Main at Sixth Street RADIO COMPETITION TO NEWSPAPERS I ~ SAD FORMIDABLE Protection of Publications Be- @omes Major Considera- tion of Publishers pril 22.—(%)—Radio was labeled a “formidable competitor” of newspapers by a committe of the American Newspaper Publishers’ as- sociation Wednesday. A report was submitted by the radio committee for action by the association. Citing statistics to show the ratio of radio advertising vertising had increased from nothing in 1926 to 59.2 per cent in the first quarter of 1931 and that 107 leading radio advertisers had cut their news- paper linage from 200,000,000 lines in 1929 to 175,000,000 lines in 1930, the report said. “The conclusion is inescapable that @ large part of the 25,000,000 linage loss of newspapers is the price paid by them for the privilege of Over-exploiting radio.” ’ “Radio competes with newspapers today in news, editorials, features and advertising and when you have named chip you have about en- compassed the whole newspaper,” said the report.

The mistake must have been in not recognizing the power of the press to popularize radio even to the extent that it would carry direct advertising. “In considering future radio com- Petition we must look at it in two ways: First, radio continuing to de- velop unregulated, unrestrained, nur- tured by the press, assisted with free publicity, receiving free news for which we pay vast sums of money and otherwise aided in its growth in every conceivable manner by news- papers, “Second, radio properly regulated, subject to the same laws of lottery and other federal restrictions as newspapers, subject to the same re- strictions plainly labeling adver- tising as sich, radio bearing its own burden of the news: pense, and radio recognized by the newspapers for what it is, namely, a formidable competitor in news, en- tertainment, editorials, features and advertising. Case Has Parallel ‘If radio of the future is to de- velop under the first plan, then it probably will compete with news- papers in about the way that busses and trucks are competing with rail- roads. The railroads ridiculed this; new competition in its early seat | and today it presents their greatest problem. “There are at least two other in- dustries which are, or should be, watching with bated breath to see if newspapers act to them- selves,” the report concluded. “They are the newsprint industry, many of whose leading units are now operat- ing at 40 to 50 per cent of capacity, and the railroads, which would hardly welcome a drop of another million or so tons of newsprint freight on top of their present difficulties.” ‘The radio report was signed by| Elzey Roberts as chairman, Amos G.

ECONOMIST IS QUIZZED BY CANADA WHEAT COMMISSION J. W. T. Duvel Traces Experi- ences in Administration of Grain Futures Winnipeg, Man., April 22.—(>)—In experienced opinions and in co-re- lated instances, Sir Josiah Stamp's delving royal commission must find its answer to the question, “What ef- fect, if any, has the dealing in grain futures on the price received by the Producer?” This is the belfef of Dr. J. W. T. Duvel, United States govern- ment economist, who testified no standard of comparison exists as be- tween prices affected and unaffected by options trades. For more than four hours—longer than any witness has sat before the commission headed by Sir Josiah Stamp—Dr. Duvel traced his experi- ences in administration of grain fu- tures, which are purchases or sales for future delivery. He outlined in detail operation of the Chicago mar- ket, greatest grain-speculation and “hedging” center in the world, where the government has access to records of transactions, Prolongation of the evidence of the Washington, D. C., economist sent the commission for the first time into a night session, in order to assure that hearings will be brought to a close this noon, so the commission may prepare for a hurried visit to Minne- @polis and Chicago. Called by the commission at the behest of the Canadian wheat pool, which does not use the protecting “hedging” system of the futures mar- ket, Dr, Duvel stressed heavily the danger of price-manipulation by large speculators, He explained his noted document on the 1926 December fu- tures market at Chicago, whic showed that eight large speculators dealings in remarkable parallel with the price trend, while a num- ber of smaller dealers’ transact'uns were in opposite line, Argument cannot be based on tare- faced comparisons of wheat es and their fluctuations before and after the advent of the futures sys- tem, contended Dr. Duvel. He pointed out that in non-futures days, sailing ships brought wheat-news to America and horseback riders carried informa- tion from New York to Chicago, bringing sudden and violent price- movements in their wake. Now tele- phone and telegraph and radio keep the grainman posted hourly ov vorld conditions so that comparison of orice moves is unfair. Savings by use of the futures sys- tem of wheat marketing are trans- ferred largely to producer and con- sumer, according to Dr. Alonz i. ‘Taylor, economic expert of Stanford ‘university. lore the commission Dr Taylor risk of nandling.

He tried to satisfy Wiiitam Doyle, an alleged gunman, ‘Lues- day, by giving him two triaus on the same day for the same of- fense, but the result—a year in jail and a $300 fine—was the same in both instances, as the judge was unconvinced that the hardware Doyle had in a hotel was nothing more than under- wear. “I didn't have a fair trail,” three school, Alleged Gunman Tried Twice by Same |MINNEAPOLITAN [S Judge and Found Guilty Both Times Doyle protested at the conclusion of his first trial on a charge of carrying contealed weapons. “And I wasn’t properly represented.” “What,” said the judge, “you didn’t have a fair trial? There's a good lawyer over there, and we'll have a new trial.” Doyle took the stand at the sec- ond hearing, declaring the pack- age a detective found under his arm contained nothing but a pair of pajamas. “I don’t believe you,” said the judge. “The sentence is a year in jail and a $300 fine. Doyle said he would appeal. HOOVER STUDIES FEDERAL OFFICES Makes Investigation With View | to Improving Administra- tive Machinery Washington, April 22.—()—Presi- dent Hoover is making a thorough study of administrative machinery of the federal government. ‘With congress out of session several months for the fitst time in his two years in office, the chief executive has turned his attention to administrative affairs. The inspection is being corducted mostly for his own information, but there is a possibility that he muy dis- cover the need of legislation to bring several bureaus up-t6-date. If so, he will make his recommendations to congress in December. The president is not conducting his inquiry primarily through cabinet members but is calling in oureau and commission heads from all over town. Cabinet members are consulted at) times but most of the work 1s being | jdone through the “little cabinet.” as assistant secretaries and hureau chiefs are called. One of the reasons Mr. Hoover de- cided he could not make a trip through the National parks and to his home at Palo Alto, Calif., was that he needed the time for this survey. On week-ends at the Rapida:. camp he takes with him various xovern- ment officials and after the day’s fishing is over they sit around the fire and talk over problems the guests happen to have in their burcuus or commissions.
