Washington, D. C. Organitutlou el
a nutiouul system of rudio programs
through a broadcasters' association,
to give service such us press asso
ciations do for newspapers, was sug
gested by Secretary Hoover Monday
night in an address opening the third
uational radio conference.
The conference is attended by
representatives of all branches of the
industry and was called by Mr. Hoover
to consider the numerous problems of
radio development in tho I'nlted
States. The general sessions are open
to the public for presentation of any
problem involving the industry.
The addresses were broadcast
through a system of IS radio stations.
In presenting his views Secretary
Hoover reiterated his opposition to
any attempt to monopolize the air,
declaring that local broadcasting sta
tions were of first importance and
must not be driven from the field.
The secretary's suggested plan for
a national program association would
provide for a self-sustaining system of
inter-connection of radio broadcasting
stations and offering through those
stations the best the nation has in
music and entertainment.
"My proposition." Mr. Hoover said,
'is that the local station must be able
to bring to its listened every import
ant national event with regularity.
The local station must be able to bring
to Its listeners the greatest music and
entertainment of the nation, but far
beyond this it must be able to deliver
important pronouncements of public
;m-n. it must bring instantly to our
people a hundred and one matters of
national Interest. To this it must add
matters of local interest. This can
be accomplished only by regularly or
ganized inter connection on a national
basis, with nationally organized and
directed programs for some part of
the day In supplement to more local
material.''

WHEAT PRICE SETS
PORTLAND RECORD
Wheat prices are soaring in all the
world markets and quotations ia the
Pacific Northwest are easily keeping
pace with the advances elsewhere.
Soft white wheat, the leading ex
port variety, was sold at the Portland
Merchants' Exchange Monday at 1.55
a bushel, a gain of a full 5 cents over
Saturday's bid price. Other offers at
the exchange averaged about 1 cent
over the close of last week. After
the session the demand continued
strong and there were sales in the
cash market of club at 1.52, or 4
nts better than Saturday; hard win
ter at 1.4S, a gain of 2 cents, and
western red at 11.47, a 3 ent advance.
These prices are the highest scored In
the local market this year.
The demand for wheat is practically
all for shipment to Europe. Mills are
making a few purchases, as they have
some European flour orders, mainly
from Germany, but the bulk of the
wheat trade is for export.
Farmers are taking advantage of
the high prices and are selling their
wheat freely at prices based on the
Portland market. The larger part ot
the selling has been In the Walla
Walla and Pendleton sections, where
over 1,500,000 bushels changed hands
in the last days. The buying flurry
took care of about a third of the crop
of the Walla Walla country, while in
the Pendieton district not over 40 per
cent of the crop remains In the farm
era' hands.
New York With the capture of a
rakish Hrilish steamer with ll.ooo
cases of whisky aboard, prohibition of
ficials Saturday claimed to have caus
ed the collapse of an Anglo-American
banker bootlegger alliance which iu
the last six months has flooded this
country with illicit liquor.
As the result of a three months
investigation, coast guurdsmeu seiz
ed the 376-ton steamer Frederick B.
and her crew of 20 men, 15 miles oft
Monmouth Deach. N. J , in what the
federal jfficials call the first real test
of the liquor treaty with Great Britain
Bankers in Montreal and New- York
and distillers and shipping nun iu
London and Halifax are said to be
members of the international bootleg
King ring which, the dry raiders suld.
has 110.000.000 behind its operation of
a four-ship fleet.
In addition to the prize capture
of the Britisher, four smaller craft
fleet motor boats that bring the
liquor from the rum fleet to the Long
Island and New Jersey shores were
taken. The capture included u half
hundred cases ot whisky. Fifteen
prisoners were made by the marine
police. .
One lone police boat, with lights
out, got three of the little craft off
the Koikaways single-handed. The
fourth was taken at Staten Island
while her crew was unloading whisky
on a dock.
A novel ruse was emp'ayed by the
federal agents to involve the crew
of the Frederick B. In a test of the
new treaty, which extends the an
cient three-mile limit to the disiauce
of an hour's sailing.
After banding the vess d's raster
1100,004 in cash and checks to make
a fat liquor purchase agreement bind
ing, agents asked for 25 "sample
cases" to take ashore at once. They
put the "stuff" uboard the fastest
speed boat they could get and raced
ashore in 42 minutes. This, assert tt..
agents, involves the bootleg ring in a
violation of the Anglo-American
rtreaty.
Their race against time completed,
the agents pressed the coast guard
cutter Manhattan into the work. That
formidable armed little vessel steam
ed alongside the whisky laden Fred
crick B , placed under arrest the crew
and two women found aboard, and pre
ceded the ship to an underguard
anchorage off the Statue of Liberty.
John Holley Clark, assistant United
Stales district attorney, later said the
capture was the most Important since
the United States entered Into the
new seizure limit treaty with Great
Hritaln.
