The city manager advocates op-

whenever citizens vote to change the

mayor shall not be ousted, but shall
continue in office until the end of the
term for which he was elected. The

Bids Too High
The tax body approved a 1910 900
liond issue for the general contract,

approved, but bids totaled $780,
G,9. Early construction is impera-
i've, as the old Shortridge building
must be vacated Jan. 1, 1929.
Basis for the tax boards objection
came from a comparison of the
.Aortridge heating and ventilating
with similar bids on other sys-
lems in two other local schoos under
construction. 1t is estimated q saw
ing of about S125,0 900 can be effected
BY allowing competitive bidding.
Revamp Plans
"To revamp plans to include the
lferent systems will cost $4,000
apiece in architects fees, beside the
delay" declared Jacob II. Hillene,
buildings and grounds superintend-
ent, who tabulated the bids.
General construction can not
start until the system of heating and
Ventilating is definitely decided up
on" said Ure M. Frazer, schools

Although endeavor is made every
year during Fire Prevention week
to teach the public how to turn in a
fire alarm, the experience Of Ameri-
can fire departments during the
last year has indicated some people
did not receive this instruction or
else forgot what they learned.
According to the national fire
waste council, affiliated with the in
surance department of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States,
the correct way to turn in a fire
alarm should be learned by every
person in his early childhood.
If you discover a fire, there are
two ways which you can summon
the fire department, either through
turning in an alarm from ire
alarm box or by calling the depart
ment on the telephone. In COM
munities where fire alarm systems
have not been installed, the latter
obviously is the method to use.
The fire alarm box always is ready
for action and there is no possibility
of the fire department being mis-
directed. To turn in an alarm
break the glass front Of the box and
pull down the key or lever as
directed on the face Of the box.
You should then wait until the fire.
men arrive, to inform them where
the fire Is.
If you telephone the alarm, do not
bother to look up the phone number
of the fire department. Unless you
already know it, just ask the
operator for the fire department and
tell her it is an emergency call. Tell
the person who answers the location

ROW BREWS IN
CONGRESS- ON
KLAN'S RADIO
Obscure Washington Plant
Asks Power to Spread
Messages Over Nation.
BY LEO r. SACK
Times staff Corresuondent


WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Desire
of the Ku-Klux Khan to use the
radio extensively will soon cause the
Radio Commission increased trouble
and may precipitate bitter protests
in Congress.
The Fellowship Forum, a Khan
newspaper, recently was authorized
to operate station WIFI on the out
skirts of Washington.
Before the authority was granted.
Congressman in widely, scattered
cities telegraphed protests to the
Commission.
The Commission held 1t had no
right to refuse the application since
q low wave band was available and
the radio law gives it no power to
censorship.
WIFI, accordingly, was given a
low band and directed to use 30
watts power.
Wants Increased Power
The assignment did not permit
WIFI to distribute it's programs for
a great distance.
Now the Fellowship Forum has
applied for authority to increase its
power to $4,000 watts. the same
power Just authorized for WEAF,
the New york station Of the Ma
tional 5roadcasting Company,
KDKA of Pittsburgh, and WGY OF
Schenectady, also powerful nation
wide stations, are using only 30,000
watts. Most of the nationally known
stations have less than $4,000 watts.
In addition the Fellowship Forum
is seeking permission to use ex-
perimentally short wave lengths OF
from so to so kilocycles. This would
permit transmission to foreign coun-
tries.
The radio commission favors in
crease in power by all so-called
national stations in order that fans
everywhere can get the choice OF
the air, but it also has indicated
that stations which have "axes to
grind and are not generally in
their character shall be restricted
to low wave bands and low power.
Campaign Against AL
The Fellowship Forum has been
carrying on a bitter campaign
against Governor AL Smith. Poll
ticians fear that if given a nation
wide radio audience it would find
way to continue its attacks. Sew
enteen other stations now broad
casting on the same waveband-204
meters or 1,470 ki1ocycles. Included
among them is KGFO of Terre
Haute, Ind, the WIFI application
does not seek a new band. Use of
the increased power would have the
effect of blanketing the programs
of other stations on the same band.
The commission will conduct a
hearing.
