RADIO PLOT TO BEAT SMITH IS ■ BRANDED BUNK Broadcasting Cos. Head in Vigorous Denial of Party Charges. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 25. Denial that there was “political interference” in the broadcasting of Governor Alfred Smith’s campaign speech from Helena, Mont., last •Jiight was made today by Maj. J. Andrew White, president of the Columbia Broadcasting Company. “The Pacific coast did not ask for the use of our network there until too late,” White said. “As late as 9 a. m. today we received a telegram from the Democratic State central committee at Portland. Ore., asking if it would be possible to use our Pacific coast network for the Smith Helena speech. I “The telegram was sent last night, apparently just about the time Smith started to speak. Obviously, it would have been impossible for us to arrange the hook-up on such short notice, even if we had received the telegram last night.” White said the Columbia broadcasting system was glad to make its service available to any candidate at any time. The Smith speech was broadcast in this section by Station WOR, Newark. Interference Charged By United Press LOS ANGELES. Sept. 25. Charges of “high governmental interference” to prevent broadcasting of the Helena, Mont., address of Governor Alfred E. Smith were made here by Democratic leaders, after thousands of southern California residents listened at their radios in vain to hear the speech. P. M.

Two' Los Angeles stations, from which it was understood the Helena speech would be sent out, announced they knew nothing of the arrangement. They were swamped with calls concerning their failure to relay Governor Smith’s talk in Montana. MAN AND WOMAN HELD IN BLIND TIGER RAID Police Nab Another for Selling Baseball Pool Tickets.

!U.S. MAY OFFER SUBSTITUTE FOR NEW NAVY PLAN Opposes Anglo - French Draft Favoring Heavy Ships Used by British. BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—A sus gestion that the United States offer a substitute program for limitation of cruisers and submarines in place of the proposed Anglo-French naval plan, is being considered in official circles, it was learned authoritatively today. Whether such a suggestion will be incorporated in the note the State Department soon will send to LonI don and Paris has not been deteri mined. Must Go to Coolidge The proposal has not been submitted to President Coolidge, it was said, and naval officials meantime are reported as viewing it with disfavor. Details of the projected note were discussed at a lengthy conference Secretary of State Kellogg held with Secretary of Navy Wilbur. Admiral Charles F. Hughes. Chief of Naval operations, and Admirals Hilary P. Jones and Andrew T. Long, delegates to the 1927 naval conference in Geneva. It was said at thp State Department that the American note can be expected to foreshadow the early demise of the as yet unpublished Anglo-French agreement. Under no circumstances, it was declared, will the United States agree to further naval limitation on the basis proposed by England and France. Plan Favors British Under the Anglo-French plan, cruisers would be divided into two classes—lo.ooo-ton ships and small craft—but only the former class, in which the United Stales is vitally i interested, would be limited, while ! the latter class, which the British I say they need to guard their world- { wide lines of communication, would ! be unlimited.

This wonderful plan is the idea of a father who loved his child and was determined to give him the best possible start in life. Today The Book of Knowledge Is known and loved the world ever. As one mother writesi “There la something missing from the lives of children who grow up without it.’*’
