Position se- cure until next March 15, if confirmed by the United Sfates Senate, with sal- ary about £30 a Prospect of ad- vancement to a full-vear job at $10,000 depends upon will of Congress. Must be resident of Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan or Kentucky. Must be Republican and must otherwise satisfy political requirements. That’s about the way President Cool- fdge might write a want advertisement in his quest for a fifth member of the Federal Radio Board, whom he would like to install as chaiyman to succeed the late Admiral W. H. G. Bullard. From the White House, where scores of possibilities have already been scanned, it has been: given out that President Coolidge is finding it ex- tremely difficult to replace Admiral Bul- lard. The radio act of 1927, he is rep- | resented as believing, is another in-| stance of limitation upon the executive power which makes it hard for him to Il a vacant post with what he regards the right kind of man. In fact, so difficult is the task that | Coolidge 4s considering the nt of a man of judicial tem- possibly a former member of h. He is limited by the act to selecting a resident of the second radio ho is a member of the Republi- and unconnected in any way with the radio industry. This in spite of the fact that the need of a technical man like Admiral Bullard is glaring. But it appears that the administration cannot find the suit- able person among the many possibili- ties advanced, although the White House is expected to announce a can- didate shorily. The intimations are that he will be a lawyer, probably named to become chairman of the com- mission, since the acting chairman, Judge E. O. Sykes, is a Democrat. ‘The technical needs of the commis- sion may be fulfilled by the selection of & board of engineers, with which it will regularly consult on its problems. That the problem is too involved for the pres- | ingto: ent commission, with only members a graduate engineer- sioner O. H. Caldwell—is emphasized by ‘ul:’e complexity of the short-wave situa- n. The name of Judge Stephen B. Davis was immediately suggested when the possible selection of a former judge one of its ’Skndding and his Congressionals. ‘was mentioned. He was former solici- tor of the Department of Commerce and is the author of the first volume on law ever published. But Judge Davis comes from New Mexico, and now lives in New York, where he is affiliated with the joint committee of the Na- tional Utilities Association. Carmi Thompson of Ohio, a lawyer, has been offered the position, but has declined, as have several others. Frank D. Scott, former Congressman from Michigan and one of the authors of the radio law, is the only lawyer quali- fied to assume the post at once who is closely identified with radio. But it is doubtful whether he would leave his lu- crative practice as counsel for the Na- mfimfl A&occh huoir!xw of Broadcasters to such a ri-lived and tryin, Federal job. . ‘The third of the series of Voters' Serv- ice program, which WRC will broad- cast tonight, brings before the micro- phone Senor Don Carlos G.

Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. GENEVA—Leprosy does not hold the same terrors for the Orient as the Occi- dent, and in Far East countries there is not the same strict isolation of pa- tients that is found in Westérn lands. Desiring more information concerning this mysterious and dreaded disease, the health committee of the League of Na- tions will establish in Brazil an interna- tional center for the scientific study of leprosy, in collaboration with the health authorities of that country. “This disease,” says a League com- munique, “is a very real problem in Latin-America but its very nature makes it unsuitable for international in- vestigations so far as regards adminis- trative measures to prevent its spread. Such measures are of international con- cern only in the case of epidemic dis- eases, and leprosy, although contaglous, is hardly infectious in this sense. On the other hand a number of prob- lems connected with its spread and treatment are obscure and require scien- tific study. It is for this pu e that the international center is to be estab- lished in Brazil.” IRRIGATED DESERT SHOWS HIGH YIELD Correspondence of the Associated Press. CARLSBAD, N. Mex—Crops raised on the 22,783 acres in the Carlsbad Federal irrigation project last year were valued at $12897,890, or an average of $83.30 an acre. - In making public the 1927 crop valu- ations officials in charge of the project pointed out that the large return was obtained from land which was consid- ered a_desert before water was made e Ago. ‘The total value of the produced in 1927 was exceeded in only two pre- vious seasons, 1919 and 1924, when the price situations were more favorable. Cotton was the most important crop last year, the production of 13,403 ales of 500 pounds bringing a money income of $1,392,563. The cotton crop was the st in the history of the irrigation project and its return was $84.70 an acre. Brakes to Stop Suicides.
