Washington Radio Club. Mr.. Briggs
claims that the interference on the
wave of WGY is very probably the
seventh harmonic from NAA, Arling-

from other Government stations, as,
for instance, WBY," he said. Il have

was to restrain interstate commerce.
The case was sent back to the lower
courts for retrial, the Supreme Court
pointing out that unless evidence
could be produced to prove con-
spiracy to restrain Interstate COM
merce the coal mining companies
could not obtain the relief they had
asked.
At the retrial the lower courts held
that the new evidence offered by the
coal mining companies had not ma
terially strengthened their case or
substantially changed 1T SO far as a
restraint of interstate commerce was
concerned. The new trial had failed,
the lower courts declared, to prove
conspiracy on the part Of the union
miners in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, and for that reason
the lower courts refused to award
the coal companies the damages they
had claimed.

VIRGINIA IS FACING
. BATTLE FOR PARK
Tennessee and North Caro-
lima May Unite in Effort to
Have Site Changed.

Capture by Virginia of the first
round in the fight for the proposed
Eastern national park apparently may
not decide the contest. There are
growing indications that North Caro-
lima and Tennessee may unite in an
effort to defeat the Old Dominion in
the final showdown.
Although the Independent commits
sion chosen TO select the most suit
able site for the proposed park rec
commended that it be located in the
Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
the next decision of the matter will
be up to the House public lands COM
mittee, to which the commissions S
report has been referred.
Besides this report, the committee
also will have up for consideration
four bills, each proposing a different
location, one Of which was introduced d
yesterday by Representative Dough-
ton, Democrat, North Carolina. The
three other measures are sponsored
Representative Bulwinkle and Weav-
er, both Democrats, Of that State,
and Reece Republican, Tennessee.
Two States to Unite.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Reece and
Mr.. Doughton that if but one park is
TO be created at the present time the
North Carolina and Tennessee dele
Satlons in the House will agree on a
site, part in one State and part In the
other, and present their united claim
in opposition to that of Virginia's.
Both Representatives however agreed
they would not contest the Old Do
minton's site should two parks be
recommended by the committee
Representative Harrison, Democrat,
Virginia, said he saw no possible
ground for conflict between his State
and the other two States, and assert
ed that he believed the commissions
recommendation would be accepted.
Representative Moore and Montague,
both Democrats, of Virginia, also ex-
pressed opinion that the report would
be adopted, and that the location
chosen was the most preferable be-
cause of its proximity to the center
of Eastern population, the National
Capital and its natural beauty.
Available to Thousands.
Mr.. Montague said by locating the
park in the Virginia Blue Ridge it
would be available to thousands who
otherwise would be deprived of it's
pleasures because of distance.
Representative Temple, Republican,
Pennsylvania, chairman of the COM
mission and also author of a bill to
carry out its recommendations, said
consideration of the question would
not be taken up by the committee
u9til after the Christmas recess. Mr..
Reece said the Smoky Mountains, in
Tennessee, lis admitted as superior
as a site for a national park" except
as to accessibility. The city of
Knoxville" he added, which lies at
the foot of the Great Smokes, by rail-
is only "a hours ride from New York,
80 from Miami and 90 from New Or
leans, and l am informed that the
Governor of Tennessee Will assure

MACY QUITS
AS TREASURER
Resignation Comes as Re-
suit of Prosser Bank
Failure

The resignation of Ivan Macy as
County Treasurer was accepted by
the board of county commissioners
yesterday and Chief Deputy M. E.
McDougal was appointed to fill the
vacancy, says the Prosser Record
Bulletin. The resignation will take
effect December 10 at which time he
will turn the office over to his sue
cessor.
Treasurer Macy's resignation is
one Of the resultant effects of the
Citizen State Bank failure. 1t will
be remembered that through an
oversight On the part of all parties
concerned, the premium on $685.
600 bond had lapsed and, that al
though the county was at all times
amply secured against loss, the
strict letter Of the law had not been
complied with. The attendant mix
up with the bonding companies is
responsible for Mr.. Macy giving up
the office. Absolutely no stigma
attaches, as Mr.. Macy has the conf
dence of every man, woman and
child in the county. He has made
a faithful official and all will be sor-
ry to see him leave the office.
The incoming treasurer, Malcolm
McDougal, is also well known. He
is a capable young man and his APP
pointment will be ratified by every
one who knows him.
