Muscle SHOALS IN
DOUBTFUL STATUS
Coolidge Believes Bill Killed by
His Pocket Veto
But NORRIS SAYS NO
Nebraska Senator Claims Congress
Not In Adjournment But In Re-
cess-Says Therefore Measure Has
Become Law,

A]A"s
Washington. June UP)-The
Muscle Shoals bill held doubtful
status today through failure OF
President Coolidge to attach his
signature to the measure by last
midnight.
1t was authoritatively stated the
president believed he had killed the
measure by pocket Veto"
Senator Norris of Nebraska, lead
Ing proponent Of the bill. maintained
on the other hand that it had be-
come law. He plans to make a test,
by inserting appropriations for con-
duct OF the work in an appropriation
bill next session. This would throw
the matter into the courts II the
government contested his action.
The measure. designed to have the
government manufacture nitrates.
develop and sell power. and produce
fertilizer for experiment at its war
time plant in Alabama. was passed
by congress a few days before the
end OF the recent session.
Ten days, excepting Sundays. fol-
lowed without the president either
signing or vetoing the measure. The
ten days expired last midnight.
Pocket Veto
Foes Of the bip and persons close
to the president maintained his
failure to act during thi, period con-
stituted pocket veto" OF the legis-
lation. They based their argument
on the L. 3. constitution, which
reads:
"If any bill shall not be returned
by the president within ten days
after it shall have been presented
to him, the same shall be law In
like manner as II he had signed 1t,
unless the congress by their ad-
jonrnment prevent its return: IN
which case it shall not be a law"
Norris contended that the end of
this session did not constitute ad-
journment but is only a recess.
Therefore. he said. the presidents
failure to sign" made the measure
a law automatically, just az II the
ten days had elapsed at any time
while congress was sitting.
Norris Explains
Moreover, Norris explained. he
has found supreme court decision
which affirms the presidents right
to sign a bill during a Christmas re-
cess lasting more than the 10 days
allowed by the constitution.
II have found that President Will
bon was advised by his attorney gen.
eral that he had the right to sign
bills during a recess and notify con-
gress Of his action when 1t rc-assem-
hled and that he so signed many
bills" Norris said.
He added that to declare the
Muscle Shoals bill dead would be to
nullify the constitutional provision
giving congress not only the right
but the duty to pass upon prcsi-

Dao-Fan AII-EIeCtyiC Radio Outfit
Made i'm Only Too Models This Year

Using two stages of push-pull am
plifcation, employing TIA tubes,
the Day-Fan engineers have pro-
duced a set with exceptional tone
quality. Stations are received clear
" and with equal volume on both
high and low wave lengths.
During the week this test was
made, as many as fifty stations
were tuned in during a single night,
ranging from Colorado to New
York and from Texas to Canada
Due to poor weather conditions
during the test, we were unable to
pick up west coast stations, but we
believe that under better conditions
this set will bring in stations from
coast to coast.
The workmanship on both set and
cabinet is of highest type, the de-
sign of the console model is neat
and compact, and will harmonic
with the furnishings of practically
any home. The new Day-Fan eight
tube AC set will win many friends
among the radio owners.
It is distributed in Indianapolis

TWO MILLIONS
Rates of NBC Network Is

Radio -.

Approximately 100000 is the
estimated figure that is being ex-
pended by the two national political
parties and their Subsidiaries in pro-
noting the radio campaign of the
two major organizations.
This estimate represents the cap
ital outlay over the microphone for
the advancement of the two political
parties until election eve, exclusive
Of the free time given by some sta
tons to major political events,
whichwould raise the total consider
ably above the two-million mark.
The official budget for the Demo-
cratic party is 100000, and accord
ing to party leaders 1t is expected
that the sum will reach at least a
million, due to radio campaigns be-
ing launched by state and local
committees, paid for locally.
$4,000 Already Spent?
Of this budget, it is said that over
100000 has already been expended,
and the remainder will be used for
network campaigning from now I'M
til election day.
The Republican leaders profess ig-
norance of the actual budget for ra-
do expenditure, but expect that the
central Office bill will run above the
100000 mark, with state and local
expenses totaling about the same
amount.
The rates of the National Broad
casting Company, with its network
Of forty-nine stations, according to
officials of the company, is about
$11,500 an hour, while the Columbia

5O,0O0,OOO TO Listen In
The rates of the two systems is
increased proportionately when non

chain.
Radio stations are estimating
that probably as many as 100000
people in the United States will be
listening in on the election.

Interference Man Finds
Trouble Source.

Radio fans of Beech Grove have
encountered a great deal of inter
ference in recent months, and The
Times interference man made a
thorough survey of that section this
week, in response to many letters.
One mile south OF Beech Grove
are high tension lines which have
about as high voltage as any in the
vicinity of Indianapolis. This seri-
ously affects the south end of Beech
Grove and runs north on Sherman
drive.
The car lines serving Beech Grove
are a source of interference which
has caused a great deal of grief tn
listeners, and X-ray and other
machines at st. Francis hospita,
also have caused some trouble.

To RENEW JOB
SALE PROBE

The Brookhart Senate committee
early next week will resume its pub.
lie investigation into the sale of
Federal offices in Southern States.
Senator Brookhart, Iowa, an
nounced today his committee would
turn it's searchlight on the alleged
bartering of postmaster jobs in
Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina
and Mississippi. Brookhart said he
hoped to secure sufficient informa-
tion to file report with the Sen
ate by the time Congress conEenes
early in December.
The investigation will be carried
on into the session of Congressman
it will mark the ninth consecutive
session at which the Senate has
undertaken major inquiries. The
long string of Senate Investigations
began in the Sixty-seventh Congress,
when the Senate inquired into the
operation Of the Veterans Bureau.
At least one major inquiry has been
undertaken at every session of the
Senate since then.
One unusual feature of the pat
ronaGe inquiry may be the implica-
tion of Democrats as well as Re
publicans in the alleged sale Of post
master jobs.
At hearings held in Georgia. 1t
was shown that Republican bosses
usually collected a feeAof 5sper cent
OF the salary for their help in Sc
curing postmaster appointments.
The collections were called political
contributions, but the funds were
used chiefly to pay salaries and the
personal expenses of Republican
organization leaders
The inquiry probably will get
under way Tuesday.
