SPOOF|NG JACK,
TEX EXPLAINS

NEW YORK, April 26.-Either
tomorrow or at the next regular
meeting on Tuesday, Tex Richard
will be hailed before the indignant
State athletic commission and
asked to explain the double bone,
or compound fracture COM
mitted by himself and Jack
Dempsey in connection with
the allegation that referees and
judges could be appointed for i'm
portant fights at the whim Of the
promoter. Richards's bone con-
sisted of putting an idea like that
on paper; Dempsey's of introducing
it as part of the evidence in the
Jack Kearns suit.
The nature Of Richards ex-
PLANTATION was forecast by the
excuse he offered in an inter-
view today. He declared, i'm
eject, that he merely was
spOOfing about the entire mat
ter: that he realized Dempsey
was the prey to many mis-
givings IN the early days Of
1926 and that he took this
means Of reassuring the then
champion.
Perish the thought. said he. and
tina he would seriously intimate
for moment that the State Ath-
letic Commission could be 3ushL d
around to suit his convenience TO
say nothing of his desires
Just whether Chairman James A.
Farley will care for this explain
alton was a matter OF some doubt
today He declined to comment on
the mater in any way, but left the
inference that any action that
seemed necessary to his colleagues,
William Muldoon and George T..
Brewer, would find him lining up
behind the decision exactly 101
per cent.

WRC WAVE-LENGTH
CHANGE is SOUGHT
VIM Urges Federal Radio Com
mission to Reassign Local
Broadcast Station.

An application that has as its OBJ
jective the removal of station WRC
from its present wave-length assign
ment today was filed with the Federal
Radio Commission by station VIM of
Newark, NJ j., operated by the Radio
Investment Co. Frank j. Hogan, local
attorney, is representing VIM.
In its formal application, VIM asked
to be assigned full time to the $50
kilocycle channel upon which WRC now
operates. The New Jersey station at
present is on the 1,450-kilocycle chan
mel with $50 watts of power and shares
its broadcasting time with three other
stations. It's present channel, from the
engineering standpoint. is not consid-
cred extremely desirable
Under Radio Commission procedure,
the New Jersey station will be heard at
a formal hearing in Washington. The
date for the hearing probably will be
set in a day or two. Station WRC and
other stations assigned on the 950-kilo-
cycle channel will be asked to partici-
pate in the hearing to defend their as
signment.

SINCLAIR APPEALS
TO SUPREME COURT
Oil Operators Brief Ques-
tionS Jail Sentence for
Contempt.
By the Associated Press.

0y the ASSOCldteu HTeSS.
Harry F. Sinclair filed in the Supreme
Court late yesterday brief present.
ing arguments why he should not be
required to serve a three-month's Jail
sentence for contempt in refusing to
answer questions of Senate commit
tee on the naval oil leases.
After his conviction Sinclair took the
case to the District OF Columbia Court
of Appeals which asked the Supreme
Court for instructions as to whetheT
his conduct had constituted contempt
of the Senate
In his brief the oil operator contend
ed~that the Government, having initi-
ated proceedings against him in the
courts on charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud in connection with his Teapot
Dome lease, he could not be compelled
to give information before the Senate
committee which might be used to his
disadvantage in the trial of the case.
The brief insisted that the Senate
had lost jurisdiction over the whole
subject so far as Sinclair was concerned
when it adopted a resolution urging
that the whole transaction be brought
TO the attention of the courts. 1t added
that the Senate committee, after the oil
mans indictment. should have made
no further attempt to question him on
the subject.
Sinclair also took the position in his
brief that the question asked by Sena-
tor Walsh, Democrat, Montana, prose-
cutor for the Senate committee, called
for disclosure of his private business
affairs into which the committee had
no right to direct an inquiry and in
which he was fully justified in refuS-
ing to answer
The brief further took up the pro-
ceedings in the contempt trial, insist
ing that the trial court had improperly
restricted the field of inquiry to be
made by the jury by its instructions. It
added that the jury also should have
been instructed to decide whether the
facts warranted his refusal to answer.

BUILDING DESIGNS
Three FederationS Write In,
Urging Architectural Har-
mony 'in Construction.

Endorsement of the proposed bill to
regulate the. design of private buildings
erected Immediately adjacent to certain
Government reservations was made last
night by the Interfederation Confer
ence, composed of representatives from

will serve a useful purpose in maintain
ing architectural harmony on streets
fronted by important Government build
ings.
The meeting also went on record as
approving a proposed amendment to
increase the authority of the District
Commissioners in closing certain roads
and streets regarded as useless.
At request of Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant
3D. director in charge of public build
ings and public parks, q representative
from the conference was appointed to
confer with the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission on matters of
public interest. The conference named
Edwin S. Hedge for this post.
