BOUQUET FOR TOM SHIPP, WASHINGTON A-K REPRESENTATIVE
There was praise in Washington for the quick work done by Thomas R. Shipp, press representative of the Atwater Kent Foundation, in supplying detailed information to the press in con¬ nection with the New York contest, Mr. Shipp and his assistants, Albert F. Ferguson and William D. Hassett, all former newspaper stars, had evidently anticipated every contingency.
The result was that though the flash from New York City giving the names of the winners was not received until almost mid¬ night, Sunday night, they wrote, mimeographed and had in the mail a three-page, 2000 word story, at the Post Office here at 1:30 A.M.
This follow-up, which in no way conflicted with, or over¬ lapped, the stories sent by the press associations from New York, was in the hands of the Washington correspondents on the first delivery Monday morning, arriving at about the same time in New York and other nearby cities.
The same story, containing interviews with both Miss Deis, the young Dayton winner, and Raoul Nadeau, the victorious baritone from New Orleans, was in the meantime speeding by air mail to cities further away. Photographs followed from New York.
There was also commendation for Tom Shipp and Gene Thomas, who was in general charge of arrangements under him, for the smoothness with which everything went off at the Capitol where the finalists met the Vice-President and where their Senators entertained them at luncheon. They also arranged for the reception, by President and Mrs. Hoover at the White House, and the formal dinner at the Mayflower and the luncheon at the National Press Club.
Altogether it was a fine exhibition of team work by those handling the party for Mr. Kent in Washington.

COMMISSION DECLINES CLASH WITH BIG BILL
The Radio Commission isn*t going to get mixed up with Big Bill Thompson, Mayor of Chicago, even if he is conducting an alleged lottery for the avowed purpose of adding to the prosperity of the city.
Upon the direction of the Commission, James W. Baldwin, Secretary, has written a reply to Robert Ishman Randolph, President of the Chicago Association of Commerce, stating that the Federal body has no authority to tell the Chicago broadcasters what they shall or shall not broadcast.
