Ar kansas would like the world to know that there is nothing the matter with her now. If some of the big cities up north are still in a state of depression next winter, Akansas probably will ship up some train loads of food and chip in liberally to the Red Cross. "We are out of the woods," said Governor Harvey Parnell, who was forced last winter to call on the na tion for beln. "The most marvelous comeback among all the states." says Dudb y Haddock, secretary of the state Cham ber of Commerce. "And they have figures to prove it. No bread lines in the state and a call just coming in for six thousand laborers in the peach orchards of the southwest. Fifty banks reorganized, and the bankers planning to get some of the farmers' money next fall. A Class A rating in the silk hosiery trade. A rise from rags to riches. It is a sort of Cinderella story of economic terms." "This is an agricultural state, more than 85 per cent," said the governor. "It was the drouth that brought on cur trouble last year, as a culmination of several bad years. But now that is gone. The state is like a garden. The prospect for good crops is the best that it has been in years." World -Herald. ! SLAYER OF MATE IS HOME New York With "practically no plans a tall" for her future, Mrs. Charlotte Nash Nixon-Nirdinger, for mer St. Louis beauty contestant, who siew her husband in France last March, returned to America. She said all she wanted was to forget the past and be happy with her children. The queen of the 1923 Atlantic City beauty pageant, who fired four shots into the body of Fred G. Nirdinger of Philadelphia in their villa at Nice, France, commented on the tragedy. "I am very sad about the whole thing. It was terrible." A French Jury acquitted her in nine minutes at her trial. "I was afraid all the time that I would not be vindicated," she re marked. Mrs. Nixon-Nii dlinger will be twenty-six next October. She was asked if she considered another girl not so good looking would have fared so well at the hands of the jury. "Beauty." she declared, "has noth ing to do with justice. I am some times sorry when I think of all the trouble it has brought me." An appropriate greeting card to Father makes a very much appreciat ed remembrance for Father's day.

CASE PRESENTED Washington The disruption of American radio entertainment and marine and international communi cation was predicted before the radio commission if the 1.409 licenses of Radio Corporation of America sub sidiaries are cancelled. This testi mony was presented by company rep resentatives as the commission 1) gan hearings to determine whether a recent court decision holds the R. C. A. guilty of violating the anti-trust statutes in the tube clause of its con tracts made it mandatory upon the commission to refuse to renew li censes held by that company's sub sidiaries. Attorneys for R. C. A. contended the provisions of the radio act mak ing such action mandatory was un constitutional. They h Id. toe, that judgment in the tube contract case, returned by the United fates court of appeals in Delaware, was not final. Edward humaker. president of the R. C. A. -Victor Company, Inc., said revocation of his company's license would put a stop to television exper imentation which had been conduct ed by the R. C.

Commission Cea:es to Exist July 1 In terest in Reports. Washington, June 14. A victory for the Wickersham commission in its race to complete in the 17 remain ing days of its life the most extensiv. single survey of crime ever under taken was forecast today from witli- i m its membership. Although reports on eight major investigations remained in the com mission's hands today 24 months and 17 days after the survey was be gun -it was said authoritatively that all would be delivered to Pre-i-der.t Hoover or into the hands of the government printer by July 1. On that date the commission officially ceases to exist. It was predicted, too, that the -ommission's purse would not be turned back to the government :npty. It would not be estimated how much of the 500 thousand dollar appropriation will remain, however. Jam Was Expected. The opinions gathered today repre sent a considerable change from the consensus as to conditions a month ago. At that time with only the prohibition report out of Its hands it was the private view of more than one member that then calendar would be almost hopelessly Jammed as July approached. Even with this danger apparently averted, however, it was pointed out today, there remained small possi bility that more than three of the pending crime reports can be deliv ered to the White house before the commission as such is automatically abolished. It was explained that arrange ments had been made whereby- ii the remaining reports are deposited at the government printing office by July 1 they can be paid for out of the commission appropriations. Un der this plan the reports could b. laid piece by piece before the presi dent, even though the commission had ceased to exist. Interest in Reports. Washington officials have been awaiting with considerable interest the contents of some of the remain ing reports. One in particular will discuss "governmental lawlessness." investigations into which have been in progress for months by the com mission's private investigators. Others of the eight reports will deal with such subjects as "crime among the foreign born," the can and cost of crime, the work of police and the conditions of the nation's prisons. World-Herald.
