80 CLEAR
AIR CHANNELS

Radio engineers have unanimously
approved a plan aimed at clearing
so broadcasting channels and the
proper spacing of smaller stations
on the remaining 40 channels.
Radio Commissioner o. H. Caldwell
declared today.
In a letter to W. II. McCanne,
president of the Stromberg. Carlson
Telephone Manufacturing Company
of Rochester. Caldwell said that this
plan apparently affords the best
arrangement for good radio recep-
ton to the listening public under
the restriction of the recent Davis
Dill equalization amendment.
1.-THE engineers accommodations
In this respect have been seriously
criticized by q few laymen who in.
sist that rs cleared channels would
be ample" Caldwell said. 1.-THE
commission desires to give careful
consideration to every point OF view
and these comments by laymen,
members of Congress, and interested
radio listeners are helpful"
With so cleared channels the list
ening public would have as many
potential stations available for their
entertainment each night. On the
cleared channels there would be no
interference. Such a system Vir.
tualIy would set up SO national wave
lengths upon which as many sta
tons might operate simultaneously.
1t would, however, limit the local
and regional stations to 40 channels.
excluding those used by Canada.
The smaller stations may be ex-
pected to object to the plan and the
powerful broadcasters to give it

toward adherents to religious creeds
who are ineligible for membership in
the khan?
AIN part, yes, but rot wholly.
The auirituaI philosophy OF the khan
WAS in the larger sense its attitude
toward a separation of church and
state. We believed that every man
owed a proper duty of piety to his
creator: but we were also taught to

"That is to say, no allegiences

Today Stephenson tells in his
deposition of instances in which
whole State tickets were swayed
by the political activities.
Stephenson was questioned by a
Pittsburgh attorney while confined
in the Indiana State penitsntiary,
where he is serving life term for
murder.
O.-What is the fact as to your
effort to blackmail your way to
liberty?
A.-That is false. / do not want
either pardon or permanent parole.
It is true I have sought and still
desire a temporary parole. so that
I may be enabled by proper court
pleading to prove am not guilty OF
the murder of which / was convicted
and also for the purpose of lifting
the wreath of shame that has been
placed upon the brow OF q dead
woman.
Clan As Political Force
The reason that infamous story
has been 30 industrially circulated
is to conceal the real purpose of
denying me the right to proceed
through the courts by processes
known to law.
o. Do you know any specific in
stances where the khan acted as q
direct political force?
A. Yes. That practice has been
common in every State OF the Union
in which the khan has q foothold.
They Officials OF the klan) told me
on numerous occasions OF forcing
the khan in Texas to support a
candidate for the United States
Senate. They told me of spending
large sums OF khan money. They
explained to me in speech at
indianapolis that khan candidates
in Oregon, Colorado and California
had sufficient klansmen in each
State to elect county officials.
What really happened Is that they
made . public gesture of supporting
sO.caIled candidate after il was
public knowledge that certain men
would be victorious.
In the election Of 1922 the khan
had q definite slate for every State
and county office in each county,
ward, township and precinct in the
State OF Indiana. No one knew
what happened until after the
votes were counted.
In 1924, q year after / resigned
from the khan, a different situation
developed. They published q book
in which the names of all candidates
and the khan attitude toward them
appeared.
Four Marked for Defeat
Four candidates on the Republican
ticket, Mr.. GiIliom for attorney gen.
eral, Mr.. Bowman for State auditor,
Mr.. Urbanna for State treasurer, and
Mr.. wilioughby for justice OF the su.
preme court, we're marked for defeat.
Only one Of their Democratic OPP
ponents was a subject OF the khan.
The others were either hostile to the
khan or they were Indifferent about
it.
did not support Mr.. Gilliom nor
Mr.. Willoughby in the State con.
vention which nominated them, nor
was interested in their election in
November, but when the khan slate
began attacking these Republican
candidates, I very promptly made it
my business to exert every possible
effort to overcome the khan slate.
How much accomplished, IL any.
