ABSOLUTE CONTROL
Of RADIO STATIONS

BY SECRETARY DANIELS OF
WAR DEPARTMENT.

Washington-An absolute govern
ment monopoly of radio eommuniea-
ton as a measure of national safety
was advocated by Secretary Daniels
in letter to the commerce and ma
rine committee of the Senate and
House, outlining the Navy Depart
ment's views on the pending radio
control bill drafted by an interdepart-
mental conference.
1.-The bill covers the purchase of
coastal stations only, that is. only
those used TO communicate with ships,
and by permitting the Navy Depart
ment 10 open all of its stations to
commercial business would discourage
the extension of any commercial sys=
tens or the organization of new sys-
TENS" the secretary wrote. The de-
partment strongly recommends that
the committee provide for the pur-
chase of all stations used for com
mercial purposes. The value of exist
ing stations is constantly increasing
and decisive action at this time vii

The letter urges that existing coast
al and commercial stations in th'
United States, Alaska, Hawaii. Porte
Rico and Hawaiian Islands be pur
chased within two years and that NJ

In Federal Court for the Western

In Federal Court for the Western
District of Arkansas in Fort Smith
Judge Frank A. Youmans upheld the
Arkansas state statutes WHICH forbids
counties to pay interest on judgments
against them
The issue was raised by plaintiffs
petition for mandamus against Sc
bastian county, the county sheriff and
county treasurer to compel them to
pay interest for % years on an old
Judgment of s13,7o0 on county scrip.
Title of suit was Missouri and Arkan-
sas Lumber and Mining Company VS..
Sebastian county. Judgment was first
county paid the interest upon the
judgment.
The 1893 State Legislature passed
an act forbidding counties to make
interest payments on such claims.
From year to year the county made
partial payments. The final one was
made in 1913, payments covering in
terest to date of statute and total prin
eipal. Upon final payment plaintiff
refused to release judgment, and later
filed suit TO collect % years interest,
holding state law Illegal and void.
Petition for writ was filed by p1air
tiff some time ago and heard in fed
eral court upon record evidence and
an agreed state of facts. At conclu.
sion of argument by counsel in the
case the court held the state law
valid, ruled the debt cancelled, or
dered plaintiff to release judgment
and pay all costs. Defendant served
notice of appeal to the United States
Supreme Court, which was granted
and defendant given 60 days to perfect
appeal.
