Use of radio in transmitting fingerprints across the Atlantic from I e Scotland Yard to Chicago police i n headquarters last Thursday night c constitutes a new step in the detec- I> tior. of crime.

Of the 5,800 editors addressed, j about one-third replied, of the 3,600 ^ political ieaders about 800 responded. "That Governor Smith conies as near being the unanimous choice of his r party as any candidate for sucii a nomination ever has been so far ahead of convention, is one of the conclusions to he drawn from the poll." says the Republic. "The newspaper poil ^ gave Smith 737 votes; Reed 163; Me- c Adoo 102, and Meredith 110. the poll * of political loaders Smith 334, Reed 111, McAdoo 3-1 and Meredith 33." ?

And he out lined a broad program for development of the national resources to accommodate the expanding needs of future America of 150.000,000 people.
