prior to another session of the leg

decision after hearing argument last

promoting a prize fight.
While in the indictment DR.. Greg
ory is charged with promoting
prize fight between men in which a

prize fight was paid the sum of $50
as a reward or prize, as he, Roger
M. Gregory, then and there well
knew" e. E. BerI and Joseph Hand

contended that the Indictment is bad

constitute a prize fight within the

SALISBURY PLANS
BROADCAST STATION
1t Is Possible That NeighbOring
Town May Be On Air Soon

The Salisbury-WicOmico Chamber
of Commerce has accepted an offer
of a radio corporation to establish
broadcasting station in Salisbury.
Unless unforeseen difficulties arise.
the station is expected to be in oper-
alton within the next thirty days.
The WicOmico Hotel will provide
the studio for the station which will
start with the broadcasting of six
teen local radio hours a week and
in addition the station will tie in a
national chain to broadcast popular
features put on the air from the ma
tion's largest stations.
The sixteen local hours per week
will be consumed by entertainment
features put on by the station and
local business and commercial enter
prises as does the larger stations.
The station will start operation
upon 100 watt power, which gives it
a broadcasting radius of 100 miles.
The local programs may be heard
throughout the peninsula, in 3aIti-
more, Southern Maryland and terri
tories Immediately adjacent.
When the station is well establish
ed the power will be increased to
500 watts, according to the agree
ment with the radio corporation.
This will considerably increase the
broadcasting radius, placing the To-
cal station on a par with many
others in the country.
