NYE WOULD BUILD U.3.RADID STATION Senator Thinks Government Should Have Outlet to Spread Information. If Senator Nye of North Dakota has his way, there will be_ established in Washington a “national” broadcasting station owned and operated by the Federal Government, and perhaps a score of other federally managed sta- tions throughout the country. | Senator Nye has asked the Senate interstate commerce committee, which has jurisdiction over radio legislation, to consider his bill for the establish- ment of a Government radio outlet. He has requested hearings on the measure when the Senate reconvenes August 19. Under the bill a station would be erected in Washington under the direc- tion of the Secretary of Commerce. It would be available for use in the dis- semination of information by govern- mental agencies and during political campaigns by speakers of any political | perty without charge. Doesn’'t Want Air Given Away. A Progressive Republican, Senator Nye said he opposes having the Gov- ernment “give away the air” completely to private enterprise. In his opinion, there should be some agency left through which the Government may reach the people without going through privately controlled, and possibly mo- nopoly controlled, channels. ‘The Government station, said Sena- { dent received 1 per ognition of new parties upon & signed by & number of voters equal to or greater than 1 per cent of cast in the last preceding election.

Such debates, likewise, mmfi be broadcast from the studio of station, under the measure.

(#).--The doors of La Escuela del Mar here have swung open for a Summer school train- ing period to 30 children between the ages of 5 and 12, who have an abnor- mal intelligent quotient. And if the plans of Miss Elba John- son, member of a Los Angeles junior high faculty, work out, these children will find themselves graduated from universities at the age of 17. ‘The Summer school will last six weeks. During that time she will let the pupils progress as rapidly as pos- sible.

No | time would be sold for sponsored pro- grams. It would be merely an agency for the dissemination of information. Moreover, he said, it would solve the bothersome problem mnow confronting the Federal Radio Commission of grant- ing radio facilities to minor parties by making available this avenue of appeal to_them. The bill would provide an appropri- ation of $500,000, or as much thereof as is needed, to carry out the prelim- inary plans. While it provides for the erection of only one station in Wash- ington, as a beginning, it carries a clause giving the Department of Com- merce the authority to establish addi- tional stations, if necessary, “to assure that matter broadeast shall reach simultaneously all sections of the coun- try.” The Secretary also would be au- thorized to co-operate in any way he deems advisable with privately owned Miss_Johnson contends that the ab- normal child is more of a problent than the subnormal boy or girl. With this in mind, she hopes to enlarge on the plan until the time will come when an institution will find its place in the school systems where children whose intellectual age is ahead of their chron- ological age, may attend.

PEARSON “For some time before I began using Miller's Herb Extract I read statements in the papers each day of the great help this medicine had been to people here at home, but until T began using it myself 1 did not think it was possible for a medicine to give one so much relief. As far back as I can re- member, in fact most all my life, 1 had suffered with chronic con- stipation, liver trouble and stom- ach disorders. I used strong lax- atives continually, they only gave slight relief, would lose their effect in a short time and then T would change to something else. I became very nervous, could not rest well at night and suffered a great deal with pains in my side, my stomach seemed to be full of acid, lots of momnings. my mouth would burn and feel as though it was drawn and I could almost taste the sour acid, heart burns and billious attacks, also troubled me a great deal. To my great relief this medicine seemed o go right to the very source of my trouble and in a few days I felt a big improvement. the bowels began to move regular, also liver seemed to act better and the bil- jous . attacks, also heart burns, passed away. I am now able to rest better at night, stomach does not burt and I no longer have that hot acid taste when I get up in-the morning. As 1 said before I did not think a medicine could do a person so much good in such a short time and I want to recommend Miller's Herb Ex- tract (formerly called Herb Juice) to all my friends.” For 30 years Miss Pearson was employed at the Government Printing Office, retired about a year ago, now residing at 3233 N Street N.W.
