Final congressional action on the

to make up the radio commission
which would have complete control

HEALING ARTS
Bill. OPPOSED
BY SCIENTISTS

PHOENIX, Feb. II. (P)-More than
40 Christian Scientists waited upon
the senate public health committee at
"a public meeting of the committee
this afternoon to register protest
against senate bill No. GA by Bettwy
OF Santa Cruz, providing for a state
board of examiners in the basic sci
ences, and tina persons practicing the
healing arts mus pass a certificate
examination with at least IS per
cent correctness to obtain license to
practice.
Fl. Clay Parker of Phoenix, spokes-
man for the Christian Scientists, out
lined objection of his creed to the
bill, chief of which was the section
forbidding practice of the healing art
without having valid certificate
from the state board of examiners.
1t was argued by Parker that the
clause eliminated not only Christian
Scientists from legally practicing
healing by prayer, but also ministers,
nasmuch as ministers receive remu-
neration from their respective con-
gregations.
That the intent of the bill is not IN
any way to deprive any religion of
it's rights, particularly the Christian
Scien lists, was stated by Senator
Bettwy introdpcor of the bill. He
said that this had been his under
standing of the bill as explained by
persons reque.ting it's introduction.
A similar bill, senate bill No. 16, by
Akers of Maricopa, has already been
killed by the senate this session.
Senate bill No. Ga was introduced,
Hettwy said, under the assumption
that it did away with the objection

New Savannah Stomp"
Is a Noisy Dance

KANSAS CITY. - The "SaYan-
nah Stomp" new dance creation by
Ned Wayburn, producer of musical
extravaganzas, may run the same
gauntlet of criticism as well as popu-
larity of the Charleston" and "Black
Bottom" if early interest in the new
step is to be taken seriously.
As the sponsor of jazz tendencies
in dancing, Wayburn views the
stomp as another edition of the
Charleston, but newer, livelier and
more fascinating.
The "Stomp" apparently has little
regard for grace. There is no dane
ing. on the toes. Leg movements are
similar to the charleston" but feet
are brought down at the toe and heel
simultaneously.
1t is doubtful if regiment of cav
airy marching across ballroom floor
would create such rhythmic racket
as the stomp" 1t promises to be
the noisiest Of all.
