There just isn't any way to escape radio, is there? Interesting Answers ad that blessed old U. S. senate is going in for some investigation that will be delightsome. : It is going to inquire why the American Bar associa- "tion plans to use an immorally wet British ship in its junket to foreign parts. How can millions with raging thirst be expected to love Volstead, with the high moral Bar association deliberately picking a ship reeking with the vile odor of drink, and 40 perfectly dry American Ships loafing at their docks? _ Also, the senate is asking what the shipping board of- fered, in the way of “facilities,” to the U. S. Chamber of Commerce for its trip, last year, to Rome. Was the ~ chamber insulted by tender of a ship that was not bone ? The senate makes no mistake in believing that there’s Arizona thirst for answers on these points.
