COAST LASHED BY WAVES
Brest, France Extremely heavy

from three to sixteen seconds. The

population, inured tho the people

turged them was that there was no
wind to account for the waves.
Many fishermen, recently return

the Atlantic has "gone crazy." No
loss of life was reported from airy

Term Is to End
Kansas City. Jan. 10. The Kansas
City Star Fridav quotes Samuel R.
McKelvie, wheat member of the fed
eral farm board, as warning farmers
who contemplate increasing their
wheat acreage that prices set recent
ly by the farm board for wheat are
only for the present crop.
In view of prospects for a big
crop next summer, McKelvie was
quoted as saying he was glad he
had accepted the place on the farm
board only until Jur.e.
In warning that the present price
would hold rv.rd merrlv fcr the pres
ent crop. McKelvie said:
"What price shall bp established
cn the coming crop will be decided
when th-"1 crop comes on.
"I gave up a' trip to Africa with
Martin Johnson when I accepted this
post. I've met plenty of lions right
here on the jcb. When I look at
the prospects for a Kansas wheat
crop, never better, with a 4 per cent
increase in the acreage in Kansas
and a 2 per cent increase fcr the
whole winter wheat belt. I'm glad
I told President Hoover I would serve
on the farm board oniy until June.
"With your prospects out here and
a big ncreasre in the northwest, with
the possibility cf a 900,000.000-bus-hel
crop next summer, it won't be a
very good thing to be a member of
the farm board then."
The former Nebraska governor
said he had been informed that farm
ers cf the northwest, cheered by the
$1.23 price established by the board
at Minneapolis, planned to put in
even more spring wheat this coming
season. Bee-News.
STATION TO EE WATCHED
Washington Whether station
KWKH at Shrevepcrt. La., has broad
cast profanity, as charged by Senator
Dill, is to be investigated by the radio
commission. Chairman Robinson of
the commission, made a promise to
that effect while testifying Friday
before the senate interstate com
merce committee on the Couzens com
munications bill.
It is the third time in as many
days that the contraver.-y over
KWKH. which is operated by W.
K. Henderson, had been the subject
of senatorial comment. On each oc
casion Senator Dill was th com
plainant. He demanded in the sen
ate Thursday that the attorney gen
eral take action. Friday he called
upon Robinson to tell why the com
mission had not .assumed the initia
tive. Robinson explained that Hender
son had been "on tho carpet" with
in the last year but that he had
proved an audience of 160,001 want
ed to continue to listen to him. He
also said two sfnators and several
representatives had testified that no
rrofanity had been used. Dill ob
served that perhaps the language
u:?ed then was rot as distasteful as
it was now, adding that it had been
"getting worse lately."
SOCIETY GIVEN A SETBACK
Chicago The Illinois vigilence so
ciety met with a setback Friday in
its campaign against the sale of al
legedly obscene literature in Chicago
book stores. Walter Shaver, charged
with selling an obscene book to
George Brown, was acquitted by a
jury after twenty minutes deliber
ation. The trial was marked by heat
ed exchanges between Philip Yarrow,
head of the vigilence society, and
counsel for the defense. Yarrow
testified that the society received a
50 per cent split on all fines assessed
against violators convicted thru his
organization's efforts.
According to the testimony Brown
went to Shaver's store and asked if
he had the book. Shaver testified
that he did not have it, but agreed
to get it and that Brown made a de
posit. The arrest was made when
Drown called for the volume.
