EXPLOITATION FOR POLITICAL

Mr. Dewey declared there is “no op oy Achieving wich rasults yit administration DR had been in office Because eight years in 1940, the New Deal had still failed to achieve anything like fair prices for farm products.”
Cites Soil Service
It took a war to get decent farm prices, just as it took & war to get jobs,” Mr. Dewey charged. He linked the failure to what he said was quarreling and’ bickering over overlapping responsibility as well as inability to stabilize agriculture on a par with industry and labor. “From the very beginning of the New Deal” Mr, Dewey charged, “farm programs put forward by the farmers have been set up, only to be exploited for political profit and to gain control over the operation of our farms.” As a prime example, he cited operation of the soil conservation service, which he conceded “has done a good job in some parts of the country.” But this program will fail “if it

Television Over Telephone Wires
Is Shown Here
By ROGER BUDROW Television over ordinary telephone wires was demonstrated by Homer E. Capehart at his Packard Manufacturing Co. here today. The new. system of transmis sion, invented and developed by Raymond Binney, was described by Mr. Capehart as the solution to one of television's most difficult problems—that of providing nation-wide television broadcasts.
“TELEVISION now is limited to two methods of transmission,” Mr. Capehart said. “Coaxial cables could be used, but that costs $10,000 a mile to build. It will ' take years and millions of dollars to build a nation-wide system of coaxial cables, “The other method talked about is booster stations, Inasmuch as television broadcasts ean only reach to the visible horizon, about

SUSPECT FACES NEW WAC QUIZ
More Lie Detector Tests Slated; Hearing Held
In Burglaries.
Additional lie detector tests will be given today to Mrs. Wynona Luallen, newest figure in the WAC murder case investigation, and her former husband-accuser, William Luallen, Replies of both to tests given yesterday were described by police interrogators as “irregular, and indicating both were lying.” Mrs. Luallen was being questioned again at the county jail following her arraignment in criminal court this morning on charges of firstdegree burglary. “I'm not guilty of anything they've accused me of,” she declared on arraignment. ~ The courtroom was crowded as an attache read the charges to Judge Pro Tem William Y. Hinkle, while the pale Mrs. Luallen clutched a blue-gray coat thrown over her shoulders.
Both Take Tests
During most of the procedure, the former laundry employee here appeared bewildered. Following her denial, Mrs. Luallen—who today gave her age as 23—was advised to enter a plea of not guilty. Saul Rabb, deputy prosecutor, represented the state. Yesterday Mrs. Luallen and her former husband were asked about a dozen questions during the lie detector test at the office of Russell Chatham, former police detec-
agency. Luallen’s statements concerning the murder were not as irregular o nthe detector graph as the woman’'s, authorities said. Two affidavits have been filed Mrs, Luallen. One filed last. April 17 charged her and two other persons with having burglarized an Indianapolis house of war savings ‘stamp-books, a ring} and some cash. The other, filed recently, charged her individually. ‘Both were signed by sheriff's au-

A later communique from Amerjcan army headquarters in Chungking said China-based Liberators probably had sunk a Japanese destroyer and damaged another, a tanker and a cargo vessel 75 miles east of Luichow peninsula in the South China sea, but did not indicate whether these vessels also were part of the enemy fleet withdrawing from the Philippines. Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, commander of the Pacific fleet, said in a Navy day speech yesterday that Japanese losses in the battle of the Philippines were “so great as to render the enemy fleet incapable of challenging any sizable portion of ours for some time to come.” These losses, he said, came on top of some 900 enemy ships and 3000 planes destroyed or damaged by the
