RADIO’S ‘UNFAIR COMPETITION’ HURTS PRESS, IS CLAIM

STATIONS FORCE ADS ON PUBLIC, PUBLISHER SAYS Using Methods Which Are Banned for Newspapers of Nation. GAIN IN PROFITS HUGE Exclusion of Broadcasting Programs From Columns Is Proposed. Gy United Press NEW YORK, April 22.—Radio, by •unfair” competition, according to Elzey Roberts, St. Louis Star publisher, is making vast inroads on the nation’s newspapers. American publishers are “as short-sighted In recognizing radio competition as the railroad men were in recognizing bus and truck competition ten years ago,” he said. Roberts said competition from radio is so great that newspapers well might discontinue exploiting of broadcasting programs in their columns. Roberts is chairman of the association’s radio committee. He quoted figures from a survey showing that, for the first three months of 1931, radio advertising has increased to more than half the total 6um spent in newspaper advertising during the same period. During 1930, he said, the ratio of radio advertising to newspaper advertising was; Newspapers, 100; radio, 26. The figures for the first quarter of this year were given as: Newspapers, 100; radio, 59.2. Growth Since 1926 And this growth, his survey shows, has been accomplished since 1926, when radio advertising virtually was unknown. 'Hie competion between radio and newspapers does not end in the advertising end, however, the committee chairman said. Radio competes with the press in news, editorials, and features. Flash, or bulletin news of exceptional importance, is handled by the radio today. Descriptions of important prearranged events are carried on the air. Election returns are often broadcast. as are market reports, weather forecasts and temperature readings. “There is a striking similarity,” Roberts said, “between newspaper features and the different forms of broadcast entertainment. ‘Amos ’n Andy’ certainly can be likened to a daily comic strip.” Radio Editorial Cited He cited, also, the rising popularity of the “radio editorial,” mentioning in particular the regular broadcasts of H. V. Kaltenborn, former newspaper editorial writer. Radio, Roberts said, has brought anew element into advertising. “Advertising is forced on the public through radio, as it used to be on the screen. And the American people, he believes, “‘resent having something forced on them, whether they like it or not.” “That is why, Roberts said, American newspapers do not run advertisements on their front pages. And that is why, in the United States, advertising is a greater force than in any other country in the world. “The mistake must have been,” Roberts said, “in not recognizing the power of the press to popularize radio even to the extent that it would carry direct advertising.” High Tax in Britain The committee pointed out that such technical leaders in the field of radio as Dr. Lee De Forest and Mariconi are at odds with the commercialization of radio, and also called attention to the fact that in Great Britain a tax of about $2 on each radio receiver supplies a sufficient fund to provide ample entertainment of a high standard. The “unfair" advantage radio has over newspapers, according to Roberts, lies, in part, in the government regulation which forbids certain forms of advertising to be printed in newspaper columns, yet do not restrict such advertising on the radio. . “Advertising involving the sending in of carton tops to obtain free merchandise, or guessing contests with merchandise awards, would come under the lottery law if appearing in the press, yet such advertising frequently is carried on the radio,” he said. Now Major Industry “During the early years,” Roberts said, “when radio was a novel thing, it was perhaps right to exploit it and tell about it in every detail. “Today, however, radio has taken its place as a major industry, and there is no more reason for newspapers to exploit it than for radio to exploit newspapers. “The radio does not announce contents of the daily newspapers, except, of course, in a few newspa-per-owned stations, and there is no reason for newspapers to do it sot radio . . . "A large part of the present difficulties due to radio broadcasting can be eliminated just as soon as publishers drop their local competitive difficulties and put radio and the press on a basis where they can compete with fairness to each other.”

FEDERALS MASS AGAINSTREBELS Honduras Troops Guarding American Citizens. (Copyright. 1931. by United Press) TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras. April 22.—Thousands of government troops were concentrating today in the Cortes region of northern Honduras to repulse revolutionary attack. The government ordered full protection for the large colony of United States citizens at La Lima, in the Cortes zone. San Pedro Sula appeared to be the chief immediate objective of the rebel forces, whose activities shifted from the coastal region with the arrival of three United States warships. There has been fighting of a minor character—principally hear Tela and Corozito—in the last eighteen hours. The government of President Vicente Mejai Colindres announced that loyalist troops had been victorious in each clash, routing the rebels with some casualties. With the co-operation of the American legation, the government declared a “neutral zone” existing around San Pedro Sula, where all messages indicated heavy fighting was expected within a few hours. The American legation will ask the revolutionary leaders to respect the neutral zone.

WIDENING APPROVED Sixteenth Street Project Gets City Action. Resolutions for widening and paving Sixteenth street from the alley east of Illinois street to Northwestern avenue, at an estimated cost of $67,200, was approved by the works board today. The board on Monday confirmed a similar resolution for Sixteenth street from Delaware street at Illinois street, at an estimated cost of $37,100. The street is to be widened and paved, providing a fifty-four-foot roadway. The half block west from Illinois will be delayed because of refusal of owners of the Chislett property, northwest corner of Illinois and Sixteenth streets, to sell to the city sufficient land for the widening, requiring court action to condemn the property. The board ordered plans and specifications for straightening Fifty-second street at the Monon railroad, sought by the Keystone Civic Association. SHOT ACCIDENTALLY, BOY, 15, NEAR DEATH Negro Companion Faces Charges in Juvenile Court. Lying critically wounded in city hospital today, 15-year-old Vem Swartz, 527 West Twenty-fourth street, worried more about punishment that might fall on a Negro boy who wounded him than about a bullet wound in his own abdomen. The N§gro, Gratz Bailey. 13, of 531 West Twenty-fourth street, who fired the shot, was to appear today in juvenile court. On a shelf at Vem's home lay a.revolver that belonged to Gratz' grandfather. The Negro boy wanted to see it. When the gun was taken from its holster, a cartridge exploded. "Don't blame him,” the wounded boy begged Lieutenant Marion Van Sickle, ‘‘Gratz didn't mean to do it.”

GET TAX CUT, THEN ASK HIKE IN RATES

Vincennes Water Company Case Now Is Before Commissioner. How to get rich in the utility business by simple arithmetic was demonstrated dramatically at the statehouse today. Upon evidence of Indianapolis owners of the Vincennes Water Company, the “true cash value” o? the plant and properties of the company at Vincennes was set for taxation at $540,000 by the state tax board. Almost simultaneously, the company filed petition with the public service commission asking for rate increases based on a valuation of $1,500,000. This petition, filed by Attorney Clyde Jones, former member of the public service commission, was entered as a cross petition in the matter of the petition of the city of Vincennes for rate reductions Commissioner Howell Ellis, who has the case in hand, announced

today that he will hold separate hearings on the two petitions at the Vincennes city hall. May 11. We will consider the rate increase petition and the rate decrease petition as separate actions, he stated. Engineers for tire commission have completed an audit of the company properties and set the value, as “replacement-new depreciated,” at $707,891. This forms the basis of rate making and should represent the “true cash value” of the properties. This would mean, of course, a considerable increase in taxes paid by the company to support the city, county and state. Officers of the Vincennes Water Company are Charles A. Edwards, president; George H. Alexander, vice-president, and Benjamin Ferk, secretary-treasurer. All are from Indianapolis. Former state senator, William H. Hill. Vincennes, is attorney for the company. After purchasing the property at a cost less than half of what they sought for a rate base, they were allowed to charge rates on $725,000 and this valuation of the public service commission was upheld by Judge Robert C. Ballzell of federal district court here. Appealed to the circuit court of appeals in Chicago, the valuation was boosted by judges there to sl,032,000. Efforts of the city of Vincennes to take the case to the United States supreme court failed,

the high court refusing to review the matter. * • - - In the interim, citizens complained that the water was not fit to drink and the company, upon commission advice, installed devices to iliminate this condition. High rates and bad water still remain the basis of the city’s complaint. Recently the company almost obtained a compromise valuation settlement with the city council, But the matter remains in the hands of Commissioner Ellis. The commissioner pointed out today that valuation for taxation and rate making should differ only in the matter of intangibles valued by the commission. These include “going value, cash capital and supplies.” Under supplies, $11,671 was added by commission engineers to the $707,891 audit. Last year the company's tax valuation was $516,400, so this year the board increased it $23,600. But the company insists that rates be based on $1,500,000, and that the minimum monthly payment be raised from the present $1.60 to $2.

SET RECORD IN ANNUAL DRIVE TO CLEAN CITY Volume of Dirt Collected Doubles Total of Last Year. Indianapolis today was undergoing the most extensive “facial” in its history as the result of the wholehearted co-operation of the public in the annual two weeks’ cleanup, paintup campaign. The volume of trash being collected, more than double that collected in the same period last year, has made it necessary for the city sanitary department to split its forces into several groups. The regular force has been augmented by more than 200 jobless men provided by the Indianapolis “made work” commission. >A number of extra trucks and trailers and teams and wagons have been added to the regular equipment. Group Collects Ashes Truly Nolen, sanitary board collections superintendent, reported one group of workers is collecting ashes and trash piled in alleys following the regular ash collection schedule. Two other groups, composed mostly of “made work” employes, have been started cleaning debris from vacant lots, yards of empty houses and alleys. One group was started in Broad Ripple, working south to Washington street between the Monon and city limits on the west. Another was started in West Indianapolis south of Washington street and is woiking east. Two Weeks to Finish

It will take two weeks for the two gangs to complete their work, Nolen said. He citizens to refrain from notifying his office of uncleaned lots until after the cleanup gangs have passed their sections. Citizens w r ere asked to collect trash and place it in alleys, leaving the roadway clear. Where there are no alleys, the street curb may be used. All trash should be placed in containers in order to facilitate work of the collectors, but where this Is not possible, it should be neatly piled at the sides of the alley. Making Garden Sites Cleaning of vacant lots not only is aiding in beautifying the city, but is providing many potential sites for gardens for the city’s unemployed. The cleanup campaign is being sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce fire prevention committee. Frank E. Gates is general chairman. Virgil T. Furgason, fire prevention division chief, reported citizens •were co-operating whole-heartedly with firemen making inspection of homes. Many calls have been received from citizens asking that jobless men be assigned to them to clean yards and to make improvements and repairs about homes. These men may obtained from the Indianapolis employment bureau, citystate employment bureau and the veterans’ employment bureau.
