IDEA BEHIND
RADIO LAW IS
IN CAMPAIGN
Republican Congress
Would Arrange
Lengths.
TO CLEAR ETHER
Enabling Officials at
Capitol to Broad
cast.
Special to Indiana Daily Tim's
and Philadelphia Public Ledper.
WASHINGTON, May 2.—Plans of of
ficials of the Republican national com
mittee to ne a powerful radio broad
casting set in the battle for control of
the next Congress are somewhat Indefi
nite because of doubt about official
availability of a special wave length
that would enable wide transmission.
A large radio manufacturing corpora
tion, It was learned recently, offered
the Republican committee a $25,000 set
for tise of members of Congress who
feel they will be kept from making spir
ited campaigns because of the session of
Congress expected to last far Into the
summer. The company. It was under
stood, offered the apparatus free In re
turn for a tacit understanding the cam
paigners who wished to use it would
purchase receiving sets for their con
stituents from the concern.
CRT WENT UP
BECAUSE OF NEW.
Thus It was hoped to circumvent the
recent order of Secretary Denhy against
use of the naval radio for political pur
poses. Issued after a mighty cry had
gone up from Democrats at the use of
the Government wireless by Senator New

In talking to hl Indiana constituents.
The G. O. P. chieftains considered the
offer seriously, having a survey made
of the roof of the Munsey building,
where the national headquarters are lo
cated.
Republican officials had no doubt they
could secure a special wave length-' that
would enable them to talk to mass meet
ings all over the country. Members of the
Democratic National Committee, it was
understood, felt sure Just as efficient
wave lengths would have to be assigned
them by whatever Government agency
under a Republican Administration is
given control of the badly croweded ether.
Their plans, however, were tentative, as
they had only an offer from a New York
motion picture magnate, formerly con
nected with their film department, for
cooperation with o big set ho planned
Installing In New York. A depleted
treasury, they felt would prohibit pur
chase of a set here unless the Republicans
made such a success of the proposed
venture as to force them to duplicate It.
CONSIDERABLE
INTERFERENCE.
Difficulties beset the G. O. P. officials,
however, It wag learned when they were
informed that there would be consider
able Interference by other broadcasting
stations on any length than one which
would permit them to transmit anly as
far as Virginia, Maryland, sections of
Pennslyvania end nearby districts.
It was understood, though, that the Re
publican officials are considering await
ing expected passage by Congress of a
law giving Secretary Hoover full powers
to classify sending stations, assign wave
lengths and times of sending. Such legis
lation is being framed and is expected
to be Introduced simultaneously In both
branches of Congress soon. Speedy pas
sage is expected, proponents believing
the necessity for rapid clearing up of the
congested atmosphere la generally recog
nized in (he capital.
It is expected the political chieftains
will then state their cases to Secretary
Hoover and ask for two special wave
lengths, unless further difficulties pre
sent themselves to the path of plans for a
heated aerial campaign.

DIVORCEE HELD
FOR MURDER OF
CHILD NEPHEW
Chicago Police Believe Girl At
tempted Suicide Because
She Was Jilted.
CHICAGO, May 2.—Miss Violet Black
Duncan, pretty 19-year-old divorcee, was
arrested today on charges of murdering
her nephew, 2t£ years old.
The boy, Hollis Poyd of Alton Park,
Tenn., was found dead In bed with gas
Jets turned on. Miss Duncan was lying
beside him, unconscious, but was re
vived.
Police believe Miss Duncan attempted
suicide because she was Jilted by Wil
liam Dubay, a wealthy Atlanta, Ga., busi
ness man.
The girl came to Chicago a few months
ago after obtaining a divorce from Wal
ter Duncan, Chattanooga. The divorce
was granted In Atlanta, where she met
Dubay.
Dunbay came to Chicago, and, seeing
Miss Duncan In company with another
man, notified her he could not carry out
an agreement to marry. Later he went
to her apartment on her summons and
found the baby dead and the girl un
conscious.
Authorities were unable to explain the
presence of the child with his aunt, and
wired Alton Park officials to obtain In
formation from the boy's parents.

which wonild give Congress the right

could wed.
Besides allowing the parents of im
pulsive girls and boys a chance for peaee
ful sleep In the spring and summer,
Codd's bill, he contends, would cut down
the number of ill-suited matches which
wind up in the divorce courts.
‘ Romantic marriages” are called ‘‘hasty
marriages” by Codd, who says that his
experience on the bench has taught him
that they are the cause for the majority
of divorces. Codd wants to put a strict
legal ban on “midnight sentimentality.”
To help obtuiu tills his bill would carry
a provision that only registered minis
ters, priests and rabbis could perform a
wedding ceremony.
