Mrs. Warner admitted that she is holding herself in readiness to do the bidding of the national committee during the next two months, to do anything for her father's campaign that she can. . “But I refuse to make speeches of any kind.” she said, “I'm afraid I'd e more of a hindrance than a help to him if I did.” Uncle Tom’s Cabaflas Simon Legree a Yankee Dallas, Tex., Aug. 22 (#—The mo- tion picture version of “Uncle Tom's Cabin” will be shown here 25 as scheduled, but the producers may not recognize it.

FOR SALE AT ALL DRUGGISTS ASK FOR THIS PACKAGE Whittemore's Shoe Polishes Are Superior To Take Greek Church| NEW: BRITAIN DAILY: RADIO BOARD HITS BACK AT CRITICS Tells Why Some Stations Lose ' Their Licenses Washington, Aug. 22 P—The fed- eral radio commission has singled out two comparatively unimportant broadcasting stations’to hit. back, at critics who have charged that it is prejudiced against small transmit- ters. In a statement announcing that the license of Station ‘WCOT, Provi- dence, R. I, had been terminated and that of Station KGDM, Stock- ton, Cal, had been extended, ' the commission described these charges as “totally unfounded.” and defend- ed its order of May 25 which gave 162 stations an opportunity to justity their existence or - else surrender their licenses. The commission explained that many small stations were cited to justify their licenses because of a deluge of complaints of poor serv- ice and interference received from people living in their vicinity and also because of the negligent man- ner in which many of them were operated, from a mechanical view- point. “As a matter of fact,” the state- ment said, “the commission has for a long time past been convinced that from an engineering point of view the accommodation of these stations is not a serious problem on {the basis of their present number, and, with a few exceptions in areas already overcrowded, they can con- tinue to operate without causing un- due interference if properly manag- ed by their ojerators. “In many cases, the commission was influenced.by. the character. of the licensee ‘who seemed not to be worthy of the trust implied in his license, or by the uncertain service rendered which deprived his service area of its ight to a regular sched- ule fulfilling its local needs. In a | word, the action, of the.commission did not proceed on the theory that the community was not entitled to local broadcasting service, but rath- er that the particular licensee was unworthy of the privilege: of ren- dering that service to the commun- ity. s The announcement as to the Stockton and Providence stations is subject to the reallocation plan for the nation's radio facilities which is not in preparation. /i In the case of the discontinued Providence station, the commission’s opinion said that evidcnce showed the station was used by its owner, Jacob Conn, as a means of direct advertising: for the promotion of his candidacy for mayor of Prov- idence; for expressing his views on all private matters and as a. medium for attacks on his enemies.
