CAR LICENSE RULING AROUSES OPPOSITION| Application Is Made to Court of | Appeals to Recall Recent Mandate. District authorities are dissatisfied with the decision of Justice Charles H. Robb holding that a resident of the State of Virginia having a license to drive an automobile may operate a car in Washington even though he has been disbarred by the local Traffic Bureau and his local license revoked. Through Assistant Corporation Coun- sel Edward W. Thomas, application has been made to the Court of Appeals to recall its mandate from the Police Court and to suspend it until the District has an opportunity to apply to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of re- view. Attorneys Hawen & Havell, counsel for Charles H. Fred, who was convicted and fined in Police Court last December, are expected to oppose the review of the case by the highest court in the land. The opinion affirmed a similar ruling by the Court of Appeals in 1921 and pointed out that the traffic law, since passed, made plain the right under reciprocity agreement for the Virginia resident to operate under the license of that State and freed him from taking out a local permit. gy Spanish Moss for Upholstery. While it is not & new industry by any means, that of gathering the Span- ish moss which grows on the trees of some of the Southern States, has re- cently taken on imposing proportions. In the State of Louisiana alone it is reckoned to have reached a valuation of $2,500,000. Not only are the trees bearded with this growth, but houses, | fences and clotheslines as well, if the season be one of moss-gathering | activities—for once gathered, the moss | must be dried. Before the drying be- | gins the wet moss is stacked in piles and left for five weeks in the Summer, | or ten in Winter, so that the soft bark may rot away. Then it is hung in the warm sun. It is worth from 8 to 12 cents a pound, depending on ity quality and the market. Major “Chain”’ Features TONIGHT. 7:00—Buck and Wing; comic sketch by Phil Cook and Vic Fleming—WRC and N. B.

The seeds sprouted and grew up into the first American broom, made by binding several of the stalks together in a round clump.

DAVIS 10 HEAD TUBE FIRM Member of Cabinet Reported to Become President of Radio Merger. | BY MARTIN CODEL. CHICAGO, I, June 6—A member ‘?f President Hoover’s cablnet may soon be claimed by the radio industry James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, is | expected to resign shortly to become | president of a now forming merger of |Tadio tube manufacturers. The combt | nation include# the Sonatron, Norther: Televocal and Magnatron ‘companies and will be known as the United Radio Tube Co. Back of the project, which promises |to evolve inta a commanding factor in this flourishing young industry, are Lehman Bros., New York bankers. One of the Lehman firm is Col. Herbert Lehman, ‘the lieutenant governor of York State. The United Co. ex- ts 10 ebsarb (other tube manufac- i voting its entire the production of tubes A 018 current here at the Chicago |Radio Trade Show led to in uiries | about this prospective new giant in the Industry, and the plan of Secretary | Dasis to resign was learned from highly uth urces. Secretary Davis is ll hold-over from the Coolidge adminis- tration. It has been rumored in Wash- ington that he intended to resign, but it was assumed that he would devote himself to the Moose Lodge, of which he has long been a moving spirit. ' New Era of Good Wil This development in the radio indus- | try is a natural outcropping of the new | era of good will which seems to prevail lat this year's show. Three of the merging companies were litigants in the famous tube clause case in the Federal District Court at Wilmington, Del., in which the independent tube makers | were successful in breaking down the | requirement previously imposed by the | Radio Corporation of America that all radio sets manufactured under patents | licensed by the Radio Corporation of | America be Initially equipped with tub: of Radio Corporation of America ma ufacture. Winning out on the legal points, the independents bade fair to_ defeat the dominant corporation_in the industry |on the merits also. This phase of the case is still pending, but probany will | be dropped soon by order of Judge | Morris. The former litigants are now [ licensees of the tube patents held by | the Radio Corporation of America, just |as are about 35 other producers of sets and parts and about a half dozen other tube makers. The licensees who use the Radio Cor- | poration of America patents are per- mitted to do so on a royalty basis | Latest of the set, manufacturers to take |out a license is Capt. Willlam Spark, | president of the Sparks-Withinton Co., | makers of the Spartan set. The Radio Corporation of America purchased from | the Michigan company certain valuable kpatenu and in return granted it the right to use all Radio Corporation of | America patents. This ended litigation that had been going on between the fight that 89, |ru even carried to Congress on the | score of trustification and monopuly in | the radio industry. | Hoover Sends Greeting. | Another factor contributing towarc | peace in the industry was the decisior |ot the Radio Corporation of Americ: | last week to eliminate most of the roy- | alty burden from the furniture that closes radio sets. Hitherto the licensees have paid a flat 71, per cent rovalt: on their gross sales, guaranteeing - minimum annual return to the Rad'- Corporation of America of $100.000 | each. The cabinet royalty has now | practically been eliminated, and thc | saving will undoubtedly be passed on t |the consumer in view of the highl competitive status of the producin; industry. Presidential _recognition of radio’t | place in the industrial and social lif: | of the Nation came today in the form of a telegram from President Hoove: to Maj. Herbert Forst, president of the Radio Manufacturers’’ Association. | ““Please express for me to the repre- sentatives of the radio industry and ilied music industry,” wréte President Hoover, “my continuing deep interest in the’ progress of this great art, so invaluable for the pleasure, recreation, instruction and information of the pec ple. Its services, both tential, to the national life should wise be stressed, because it provides an other instrument for constant public entertainment and for the rapid forma- tion of public opinion upon public ques- | tions, which is a vital function in a democracy.” (Copyright, 1929. by the North American Newspaper Alliance.) .

Lucky Strike represents a milestone in the prog- ress of cigarette manufacture. The toasting process makes Lucky Strike the brand of distinction, and, in the opinion of 20,679% physicians, is the reason Luckies are less irritating. No other cigarette enjoys this secret heat treatment which removes impurities and irritants, produces a flavor beyond comparison and assures the smoker the maximum of delightful smoking pleasure and comfort. ¥ The figures quoted have been checked and certified to by LYBRAND, ROSS BROS.
