OF CAPITOL DEBATES impression when programs are really designed to that end. Prediction that every capital in the nation will eventually have a remote control radio broadcast which will bring a consequent change In the actions of legisla tors was made by Louise Palmer Webber of Portland in a talk be fore the Salem Retail Credit as sociation Wednesday noon. "If we had remote control in the Salem capital today, senators' and representatives', behavior at the session would be entirely dif ferent," the Portland KOIN radio hostess, declared. Remote station broadcasts of legislative debates and other capi tol matters would be not only easily possible, but entirely con structive, she said. She believes radio comes nearest to filling a long-felt need in the life ot the nation, as well as doing its bit In making the world a smaller, more united whole. The ease with which public opinion is molded, especially by means of the radio, was told through recitation of a number of her experiences In the years she has been on the air. While the printed page conveys a mes sage more lasting, Mrs. Webber holds the radio makes a definite judges.

New Mortgage Bill Rejected by House The house yesterday afternoon voted down a mortgage morator ium bill, slightly dissimilar from H. J. R. 18, already passed.

Quite a pile of edibles remained after Tuesday night's wrestling show. and these things were turned over to the recognised relief organiza tions. It's an 111 moratorium that blows nobody good. It's an attractive fight card. at that. Jackie Kfleen gets his big test against Ernie Peters, the Chicago Indian who has met the last three world fly weight champions, in the head- liner of three six -rounders. The others pit Bobby Ambrose against Mickey Barker ot Port- land, and Cy Landers of Inde pendence against Young Sharkey. This boy Barker ought to give Ambrose a busy 18 minutes or less, for he has made a whirl wind debut in professional ranks, engaging in only eight fights up to now of which he won three by knockouts and has lost only one, a decision to Whitey Neal, whom he defeated on arfother oc casion. He has also beaten Roy Ockley. In contrast to the last show which featured Salem boys against foes from nearby towns. mostly Independence, this is m card in which the opposition for the most part comes from Portland.
