Eta rl i apg z WORK 15 BEGUN ON FEDERAL BUILDING Trees Are Chopped Down as Steam Shovel Goes Into Action to Clear Site The sound of chopping wood ming- Jed with the chugging of a steam shovel Monday on the grounds just to the north of the post office as the Wachter Transfer company began excavating for the foundations of the new addition to the building. Woodchoppers preceded the shovel up the slope toward the Rose apart- ments, clearing away large trees and shrubbery in its path. A large stecl service pole, which relayed electric- ity to the building also had to be removed. Meanwhile the shovel began in the southeast corner of the rear court fork of breaking the concrete driveway, all of which must be torn up before the excavation can proceed. Workmen for the Maurice Schu- macher Construction company, Min- neapolis, started tearing down the loading platform at the rear of the building. Within two weeks the en-| tire rear wall up to the second story windows will also have to be re- ~ moved. Only work done inside the original | building so far has been removal of | - , the steam-heating system. Burlington Project Gets Board’s Okay: Minot, N.

Fitzsimonds, manager of KFYR, local station which is affi- liated with the National Broadcast- ing company. Fitzsimonds first distinguished be- tween “sustaining” and “commercial” programs, pointing out that the for+ mer were programs for which the sta- tion receives no remuneration while the latter is the type for which ad- vertising clients pay. timing, became necessary when KFYR affillated itself with NBC, Fitzsim- onds said, pointing out that it is necessary to cut off programs as soon &s the time allotted expires. For an accurate check of coming programs, the radio manager ex- plained that constant telegraphic communication is maintained between NBC and KFYR for program infor- mation. Every program broadcast over KFYR is transmitted in part by wire, the KFYR manager said. NBC pro- grams come to Bismarck by leased wire and are re-broadcast by the KFYR transmitter. Even programs originat- ing in the KFYR studio are sent by wire to the transmittal station a few miles east of the city. Foreign pro- gvams originate over short-wave and are relayed by wire to the many sta- tions re-broadcasting them. , Provides Competition KFYR belongs to a supplementary group of stations which can pick up programs either trom the Blue or Red networks. These two networks were set up to provide competition within the NBC organization, Fitzsimonds explained. In giving the Lions an idea of broadcast costs, Fitzsimonds said that one firm pays a base rate of $13.000 each day for an hour a day over the Red network. This hour would cost in the neighborhood of $20,000 a day over both networks, he said. The KFYR manager was introduced by A. E. Anderson, program chaiman. Dr. A. M. Fisher, club president, an- nounced that F. E. McCurdy, Alvin Strutz, D. D. Prust, Obert A. Olson and E. B.

Landon’s State Turns Down Lemke Electors (By the Associated Press) While William Lemke, Union party candidate for president, spoke before the Pittsfield, Mass., National Union tor Social Justice, his friends and foes battled over the right of nine presi- dential electors pledged to him to file in the Kansas election. Petitions asking that the electors be placed on the general ballot were rejected Monday at the secretary of state’s office in Topeka. Lemke’s representatives, who con- tend names of electors could be filed as late as Sept. 20, said they would ask the state supreme court for a writ of mandamus to compel the sec- retary of state's office to accept the electors for presentation to the state canvassing board. The board should have the right, they contended, to accept or reject the electors. Upon hearing the news in Chicago, John Nystul, Lemke’s campaign man- ager, said “every effort will be made to compel the Kansas secretary of state to put our party on the ballot.” Meanwhile, Newton Jenkins, Union party nominee for the United States senate from Illinois, described Lemke as the only presidency-seeker “who is pursuing the only course that will keep us out of Europe.” WHITING IS DEAD Holyoke, Mass., Aug. 31.—(#)—Wil- liam Fairfield Whiting, 72, former secretary of commerce, died at his home here Monday after a long ill- ness.
