Collins, Colo., who is conducting a regional conference at the Newhouse 11 land-gran- Hotel on rationing regulations recently published governing the distribution of farm machinery. We have managed to scrape by with what we had this season," said Dr. Dinwoodey, "but there was a natural shortage of necessary machinery in many parts of the West." . . " t-- ' -- hi ' Harold A. LaFount Saboteur Radio Sets Eliminated There have been innumerable attempts by saboteurs using unlicensed radio sets to use the radio as an instrument of sabotage, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation eliminates approximately one unlicensed set each week, so the situation is under control and therefore not menacing at this time, said Harold A. LaFount of New York, owner of a chain of east coast radio stations, and formerly a member of the Federal Radio Commission in Washington, D. C. Mr. LaFount, former Salt Lake real estate dealer and now a member of the National Radio Committee of the National War Fund, arrived in Salt Lake today to with the radio campaign of the war' fund. Alpng with his only sister, Mrs. Elsie Sullivan of San Francisco, and his daughter, Mrs. John Scowcroft of Ogden, as-i- he participated in a family reunion at the home of his mother, Mrs. Emily E. of 558 S. 9th E. St. Television will be in commercial use will be a part of every radio set shortly after the war, assured Mr. LaFount. and newspapers and radio will continue their cooperative work, because there will be great need for both mediums in the postwar era. Mr. LaFount was appointed to the Federal Radio Commission in 1937 by President Coolidge, and was reappointed by Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt. In 1934 he, in partnership with A. - watchmaker, purchased a chain of radii stations' in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Hartford and New Haven.
