RADIO SHAKE-UP
May ELIMINATE
1856 STATIONS
Five Equal ZOning Plan of
Congress StOrmed by
Protests.
BY LEO r. SACK

WASHINGTON, April 9-Federal
radio commissioners today are
struggling with what they predict
will be the biggest radio shakeup
Federal regulation.
Stations will be driven from the
air, time will be curtailed, wave
bands, frequency and power will be
changed and the entire broadcast
ing arrangement reorganized in an
effort to execute specific instruc-
lions of Congress which require an
equal distribution of station to the
five radio zones of the United States
and IAN equitable distribution OF
service to the states"
Under the new plan radio engi-
neers have advised the commission
there can be only $50 stations
throughout the nation, as against
685 now on the air.
This will provide 10 stations, for
example, in the populous second
zone of Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio
Michigan and Kentucky and
similar number in the less popu-
lous fifth zone embracing Colorado,
California, Utah, New Mexico
Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona,
Washington, Oregon, Hawaii and
Alaska
In all zones but 270 stations can
broadcast simultaneously without
causing interference, the engineers
have concluded. This will mean
that the number of full-time sta
tons will be greatly restricted.

Me70 Trial Plea to Test
Sanity Defense Statute

Russell sets out that similar stat
uteS in Michigan and Illinois have
been held unconstitutional.
Supported by Medics
Such laws have been supported
by the medical fraternity because it
eliminates a great deal of ridicule
heaped on the profession when two
alienists, one on each side, testify
to opposite conclusions as to the
sanity of the accused.
IF the defendant really is insane"
Prosecutor William H. Remy said,
his attorney need noc fear the tes-
timony of disinterested alienists. If
he is not insane, the State has a bet
ter chance to show it"
Testimony as to mans sanity at
the time of trial, or even shortly
after the commission of the crime,
has to do with his mental condition
at the time the crime was committed
only reflectively, Rhoardarmer said.

DOCTOR SHOWS QUICK
WAY TO END COLDS
Many Here Find Hospital Method
Is Pleasant for Use at Home
Ends Cold in Few Hours

Urging the danger of neglecting
a cold during pneumonia weather,
hospital physicians are recommend
ing for home use a remedy that
brings quick, sure relief, even in ex-
IRENE hospital cases. And numbers
of indianapolis people find that it
is not only inexpensive but pleasant
to take and ideal to end a head
cold, cough or chest cold.
j. H. Driscomb, for example, had
neglected a head cold until conges-
ton spread down into his chest,
bringing on a fever of 101. Fearing
pneumonia then, he called his doc
tor, who advised double strength
does of Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
concentrated mixture of wild
cherry, terpin hydrate and other in
gradients recognized as the most
effective for severe colds.
With the first pleasant swallow
he felt its comforting, healing
warmth from his nose passages
deep down into his chest. In few
hours the "feverish, grippy" feeling
began to disappear; and in another
day or so, the doctor reports, he was
completely rid of the cold.

Test of the State law governing
pleas of insanity in criminal cases,
and examination of the accused by
disinterested physicians appointed
by the court, is seen in a Marion
County case pending in Hancock
Circuit Court at Greenfield
Indiana has one of the wisest laws
of any State regarding eXamina-

The law is alleged to be uncon-
Stitutional in the motion for new
trial filed by attorneys for Elmer
Russell, of Indianapolis, convicted
of first degree murder of his wife,
EStella May. His sentence is life
Imprisonment.
Law Enacted In 1927

provides that when a plea Of insan-
ity is entered, the court may appoint
two or three alienists 10 examine the
accused. and testify at the close Of

Such testimony by disinterested
physicians would follow that of
alienists of both State and defense.
