The right of public utilities cor
poration to broadcast was questioned
yesterday by Senator Norris of Nebraska,
when he told the Federal Radio Com
mission he could see in such activity
mo purpose other than furtherance Of
an attempt to control public opinion
The statement followed pointed at
tack by the Senator on the request OF
station WENR, operated by the Great

posed of seven utilities companies, for
increased privileges in broadcaSting
The station now shares part-time
broadcast with WIS, operated by the
Prairie Farmer a newspaper.
The request for full time broadcast
with a cleared 870-kilocycle channel is
an effort by power interests TO con-
troll the very air we breathe" the Sen
ator said, He asserted granting of the
WENR request would be at the "ex-
pense of agriculture"
Senator Norris, together with Sena-
tors Walsh of Montana and Brookhart
of Iowa. appeared as witnesses before
the commission in behalf of Station
WIS, which also asks full privileges
on the 870-kilocycle channel WIS had
f1ve-sevenths and WENR two-sevenths
time on this channel, under realloca-
ton, which went into effect Sunday.
Senator Norris reviewed disclosures
of the Federal Trade Commission at
length, declaring they showed that the
power trusts" have entered an attempt
secret, always secret" to control text
books, to mix in elections-to influence
social, economic, religious-all kinds OF
organizations-for selfish purposes.
Senator BrOokhart concurred in Sena-
tor Norris views.
Burridge Butler. publisher of the

DR.. wa WHITE URGES
MORE PSYCHIATRlSTS
Increase in Mental Cases Blamed
on Civilization, Round
Table Told.

The utilization of the so-called inst1-
tutions for the insane for the training
of additional psychiatrists and carrying
on extensive research work regarding
the care and treatment of mental dis
eases was urged by DR.. William A.
White, superintendent of st. Eliza
beths Hosnital, at luncheon OF t. )
Washington Round Table in the Uni
yersity Club yesterday.
This Is particularly necessary at the
present time, DR.. White indicated, be-
cause of the increase of the average
span of life, which makes more people
live into the period of life in which
they are most apt to suffer from nerv-
Gus and mental disorders-the age be-
yond 40 yearsA-and because OF the
mental and nervous strain of the pres
ent-day civilization.
In the latter connection the speaker
questioned whether the people Of today
are not paying too great a price for
civilization" as may be shown from
the huge number of mental and nerv-
Gus cases.
Census statistics. he said, show that
there are in round numbers total OF
100000 beds in various hospitals
throughout the country, and that one
half of these are occupied by. mental
and nervous cases. In addition, DR..
White said, there are no doubt many
more such cases which have not come
to the attention of institutions for
treatment.
Mental diseases DR.. White said, are
rarely known In uncivilized tribes, but
emphasized that civilization takes its
toll.

RACKETEERS' GUNS
KILL UNION CHIEF
Boss of Drivers Slain as He
Sits Behind Desk
in Office.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 17.-Guns of
the racketeers, mute since they dealt
death to Big Tim Murphy in Midsum-
iner, pumped eight bullets last night
into the body of John G.. Clay, boss of
the Laundry and Dyehouse Chauffeurs'
Union.
Killers never had better target than
the 59-year-old secretary-treasurer of
the chauffeurs' union. He was seated
at his desk, facing a front window Of
the unions headquarters on South Ash
land avenue. Bathed in the bright light
of his Office, Clay was a perfect mark
for the gunmen. who crept up on the
porch which runs by the window and
sent the fire of machine gun and a
shotgun blazing through the glass.
The sound of running feet, the roar
of motor, the red tail-hght of a cur
tanned automobile vanishing down the
street, and the slayers had escaped.
Seven stewards of the union were In
room adjoining Clay's when the shots
were fired. They ran into the street
too late to catch more than a fieeting
glimpse of the machine in which the
slayers fed.
Held Key Position.
Clay, according to police investiga-
tors, held the key position in the Chi
cago cleaning and dyeing racket" as
they call 1t.
The cleaning racket" Is reputed by
police to have taken millions from Chi
cagoans. The warfare between rival
groups seeking to control the business
has been marked with many BOMBS and
sluggings.
It has always been the police theory
that Big Tim Murphy's assassination
was attributable to his efforts to mus
Gle in' on the cleaning and dyeing
racket"
A number of motives for the Clay
killing we're advanced One was that IT
was reprisal executed by friends OF
Big Tim. Another was that gangsters
from other cities, attracted by what ap-
peared to them to be big money In the
Chicago racket" had killed Clay.
Capone's Name Mentioned.
Then there was the mention Of AL
Capone's name, inevitable when gang
guns roar. Capone several months ago
became involved in the cleaning ana
the dyeing business, being associated
with the Sanitary Cleaning Co.. o.
ganized hS Morris Becker, a wealthy
South Side business man. Becker or
ganized the Sanitary Cleaning Co.. ne
said, to fight the racket" and his pur-
pose in interesting Capone, he explain
ed, was to frighten away any who
might attempt intimidation by bombs
and violence Capones name alone.
Becker believed, would insure proper
respect for the company.
Internal trouble within the chauf-
feur's union was another theory under
consideration, but 1t was given little
credencs. .a y
