Senator Dill, democrat, Washing- ton, and Senator King, democrat, Utah, wurged Senator Norris to broaden his resolution to disapprove | government officials or agencics us- ing federal radio_facilities for dis- tributing *“propaganda” or doing it eny other way. Senator King charged that state department, in letters, had di tributed propaganda for the Laus- anne treaty, recently rejected by the | scnate, and Senator Dill charged that the government was using the Ar- lington radio station for pufting ad- ministration views before the public. | Families in Englan(i Rivals for “Biggest” Barnsley, Yorkshire, Jan. 21 (UP)— | Villages in this part of Engand are | Vicing for the largest family.
