Milwaukee. Jan. 30. The conver-'

tons of snow in the Wisconsin and
Michigan northland.
Today, as word began shivering
forth from entire -communities that
have been wintejbound.for days and
week?, some idea of the season's se
verity was realized.
Kewaunee, Wis., was one of the
places where the oldest residents
were ready to admit that never be
fore, in their memory, had there been
such a winter.
No Kewauneean was better able
to attest the severity of the weather
than Dr. W. M. Wochos. One of his
experiences became known today. At

home, nine miles away.
The physician pet forth in his ski
equipped motorcar, only to abandon
it after three miles of tedious travel,
bucking the heavy drifts. He started
.-ihead on foot, floundering slowly
through the snow.
Snow Plow Stopped
Finally he came to a farm house
and phoned Beaurian instructions on
how to welcome the stork should the
bird arrive before he did. A snow
plow was put to work to cut a path
through the drifts; but even the
plow was able to advance only three
miles after five hours..
Dr. Wochos, bundled in woolen6
and carrying his instrument case in
many-rnittened hands, pressed ahead
on foot, fighting bitter cold and snow
that was waist-high in places. After
several hours he stumbled exhausted
and nearly frozen into the Beaurian
home.

As though death itself were riot
tragedy enough, further hardships
and dangers presented themselves to
Herron's widow and her son. Wrap

woman and her boy placed it on a
toboggan and started with it across
the windswept drifts to the nearest

Public s Rights '
Guide Hoover's
Policy on Radio
Supports Greatest Possible Expan
sion of Industry Under
Safeguards
Miami, Fla President-elect Hoo
ver, it is authoritatively known, con
siders the problems of the radio in
dustry one of the important tasks
confronting his administration and
proposes during his term of office to
lead the way toward solution.
Mr. Hoover's general policy, it was
stated, is to afford the industry every
avenue and opportunity for technical
and commercial advance and expan
sion, while at the same time safe
guarding to the utmost the public's
interest and rights. His own thor
ough knowledge of both the technical
and commercial phases of radio, the
influence he will be able to wield
on its regulation through his ap
pointments on the Federal Radio
Commission, and the weight of his
leadership in recommending to Con
gress a legislative policy with regard
to the industry, all combine to give
him a powerful position in determ
ining the future or radio.
Attitude on Unification
Still another factor that will en
hance his power in dealing with the
subject will be his Influence in de
termining' the attitude that the De
partment of Justice will take toward
consolidations within the industry.
Mr.' Hoover will have a great deal
to say as to whether the antitrust
laws will be stringently applied
against the radio corporations, or
whether the Government takes the
viewpoint that it is necessary for
the sound development of radio and
protection of the Nation's defenses
that an exception be made and that
a unification be permitted.

"During the past few months," he

by the department of agriculture to
