FARMER- LABOR ALLIANCE FOR NEW PARTY IS SEEN Educator Charges Democrats and G. 0. P. With Operating to Protect Capital. By the Associated Press ATHENS, Ga., May 7.—A new polit- jcal party to represent interests of urban wage earners and farmers is forecast for the next half century by Dr. Paul H. Douglas of the University of Chicago. The farmers' need for tariff reform and the workers' wish for social legis- lation, Dr. Douglas said in an addres before the University of Georgia Insti- tute of Public Affairs today, are major arguments for their combination in a political regrouping. “Both the Republican and Democratic | les are now largely business par- | he said, “operating consciously or | ties,” unconsciously through their policies and ideas to protect the interests of the owners of industrial and commercml capital.” The new National party, Dr. Douglas foresees, will receive support of “sec- tions of the present Republican party, such as those represented by Senator Norris, La Follette, Borah and Gov. Pinchot, and also sections of the Dem- ocratic party, such as those represented by Gov. Franklin Roosevelt, Senator Wheeler and Gov. Wilbur Cross of Connecticut. Faulty Receivers Blsmed Deféctive radio receivers have been responsible for faulty reception of many radio programs, it has been shown by investigations conducted by the Federal Radio Commission. The tests were conducted following Teceipt of complaints that faulty reception was due to the allocation of air channels.

A half dozen police authorities have asked the Radio Commission to help them prevent indiscriminate eaves- dropping on confidential police broad- casts, a practice which is becoming more prevalent daily. Police services have been assigned to the continental short waves and thousands of listeners now have short-wave receivers which pick up programs the world over, but to get the thrill of tapping police intel- ligence, many persons apparently keep their sets tuned to the police waves. | So also do the burglars, bootleggers and | other criminals as a very eflective means of dodging arrest. Liable to Punishment. out of all this develops the startling tentative conclusion that every person who picks up these police broadcasts and uses the information in any fashion is liable to punishment under the penal provisions of the radio law. This means payment of a maximum fine of $5,000, five years' imprisonment, or both, for each such offense. In other words, it means that a civil- ian caught tuning in on police broad- casts and imparting the information or | using it for his own personal ends may be subjected to these punishments. No case has yet been tested in the courts, but the problem admittedly is becoming so serfous that a test case may be brought at any time. Cases reported of interception of po- lice broadcasts disclose ingenious meth- ods contrived to keep a jump ahead of the authorities. Thbse have come from New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Oklahoma and California. It is believed every one of the 70 cities that have crime radio services are experiencing similiar difficulties, { Riot Squads Sent. One extraordinary incident, indicative of the seriousness of the situation, was that of the broadcast of & police report that a particular household was being robbed. = Riot squads in patrol cars scurried to the scene. But a group of hoodlums, eavesdropping on the broad- cast, beat the police to the spot and hijacked the robbers. Another plaint is that of “ambulance chasing.” Reports of accidents are broadcast regularly. It has been re- ported that many private hospitals are ever on the alert, Picking up an acci- dent report, their ambulances hasten to the scene and get the “business.” In one recent case, five private ambu- Jances were on the scene, tieing up traffic, before the city hospital and po- lice authorities reached the spot. Other reports say that the private “ambulance chasers” many times have cleared away the whole scene before the authorities arrived, leaving no evidence whatever.
