Washington, Oct. 26 oP-Causes of radio interference, though nu- merous, have been sifted out to the point where two factors - solar activity and variations in air tenn perature - have emerged as the most important, Dr. L.

Emancipation in India Is Met
With Little 0ppo-
Sition.

BIZ United Press
CALCUTTA, Oct. 22.-The last
trace of slavery has been wiped out
of Nepal. A total of $3.50 slaves
were emancipated as a result Of the
action of His Highness the Maha-
srajah Chandra Shum Shere Jung
Bahadur Rama, according to an Off
cial communique issued by the anti
Slavery office Katmandu.
In 1920 certain anti-slavery laws
were enacted whereby escaped slaves
who had resided for ten years or
more in a foreign land, would auto
matically be declared free men and
that those who had been away for
three years might, on their return
home, claim emancipation on pay
ment of the legal amounts to their
former masters. Other laws passed
about the same time invested the
slaves with the right of property
ownership.
Made Stirring Appeal
Il was not until Nov. %, 1924, that
the most important step toward
abolition was taken by the Mahara-
iah. At that time he issued a stir
ring appeal to his countrymen for
10 emancipation of slaves, the inn
EHediate result of which was to rouse
the consciousness of the people to
the evils of practice which was, in
the words of the Maharajah "over-
loaded with the leaden tears Of par
ents and children" and on which
rested the curse of the gods.
Within a few months of the issue
of the appeal 1t was found possible
to ignore the original arrangements
under which emancipated slaves
were bound to labor for their former
masters for seven years. The appeal
was quickly followed up by an an
houncement from the Maharajah of
, generous grant for this humani-
tartan work.
In all matters relating to the aboli-
ton Of slavery and the scheme of
compensation the government, in.
stead of coercing the slave-owners in7
any way, appear to have given the
most anxious and thoughtful consid-
eration to their legitimate griev-
Ances. When opinions were in
vited from all the slave-owners it
was found that an overwhelming ma
Dority declared themselves in favor

their owners as of greater market

The work of emancipation was
begun early last year when the anti
slavery office was established at Kat
maidu and a large number of Off
GERS were deputed to different ce1t
ters where operations were to be-
gin.
A law was passed abolishing slav-
