TRE FVENING STXR, WASHINGTON,” D. €. FRIDAY, MARCH 8. 129" Statement to Radio Board Cites Membership of 1,250 Newspapers. BF the Associated P { * “The reservation of adequate short- | wave channels for the use of the Asso-| ciated Press has been asked of the Fed-! #ral Radio Commission in its allocation of 40 wave bands for the press of the Tountry. i “In setting forth the position of the | WAssociated Press in regard to the radio allocations, Kent Cooper, its general manager, through Milton Garges, his| executive assistant, has presented a‘ statement to the commission in which he cited 0 newspapers of the coun- try as Associated Press members and said “We confidently believe the com- 'mission will find that it can consistent- take care of the needs of such an! important press association effort.” ‘ahe cc on tcday planned the eonclusion of its hearings on the press | rddio allocations and William C. Can-! $on, counsel for the Associated Press, prepared an argument to show the As-| Sociated Press could not operate radio facilities as a public utility. ! #*The hearings of the commisison were | held after a protest by John Francis “Neyland of San Francisco, representing 3Be Hearst newspaper organization, «against the suggested allocation of short *wave facilities proposed in a report by Joseph Plerson, cable editor of the | “Chicago Tribune on behalf of the | ‘American publishers’ committee. | ~ - Mr. Neylan charged that the proposal | vof the American publishers’ committee would not serve properly the interests sof American newspapers, that the com- smittee did not represent the American «press and that if such a proposal were | radopted by the commission it would give four newspapers, the Chicago Tri- ‘bune, the New York Times, the San | iFrancisco Chronicle and the Los | “Angeles Times, virtual control of 17 of | “the available channels. The remainder | of the channels, he said, had been “so | «armed out as not to furnish any ef- *fective competition to ihe four papers ~hamed.” Louis M. Loeb, counsel for the New | ‘York Times, categorically denied the statements of Mr. Neylan and at the | same time submitted affidavits which | “he said showed conclusively that other than in the exchange of news the .four newspapers which Mr. Neylan claimed “were in a conspiracy” had no financial or other connections. T Declaring that the Associated Press «<asked the commission for the allocation “of wave bands “in no spirit of antago- ‘nism to any other interests,” Mr. Cooper “in his statement said that “thus far we “have not been advised of any antogo- nism to our request upon the part of -any other interest before the commis- | Usion” He added that “an informal | *statement by one of the commissioners “has led us to believe that the commis- | . sion can and may consistently do what | "we request.” “If that now is to be the decision,” ‘Mr. Cooper’s statement continued, “the | ‘Assoclated Press asks that reservation | Jof adéquate wave bands for its ex clusive use be made and that the As. “sociated Press be given time to make its “application therefor.” | = “The Associated Press has been, from “the beginning, desirous of obtaining radio bands sufficient for its own use,” | “the statement explained.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 8.—The Strand dis- trict, in the heart of the city, was glven a bit of excitement this after- noon when a bomb containing a charge of high explosives mixed with powder that produced clouds of smoke and noxious fumes exploded during a lecture by J. T. Murphy, well known British Communist, to King's College students. The bomb shook the walls of the college theater, shattered several win- dows and blew into fragments a cab- inet in which it had been hidden. Small sulphur bombs also were thrown. No casualties were reported, but the theater was rapidly emptied. MRS. SABIN QUITS POST. Resignation From Republican Na- tional Committee Sent to Work. NEW YORK, March 8 (#)—Mrs. Charles H.

It is also under- stood that in those States where there are men and women who were espe- clally active in his Interests during the pre-convention campaign, as well as the presidential campaign itself, he will expect co-operation between these workers and the so-called organization leaders of those States. ‘The matter of patronage is rapidly becoming an all-important one with the new President.
