RANKING OFFICER OF PAY
CORPS OF U. S. NAVY DIES
Capt. Eugene Dewey Ryan Is Vic
tim of Pneumonia in Phila-
delphia Hospital.

BY the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA. December 6.-Capt.
Eugene Dewey Ryan, 81, supply and
disbursing officer Of the Philadelphia
Navy Yard and senior ranking officer
Of the Pay Corps of the United States
Navy, died yesterday at the Naval Hos
pital of pneumonia.
Capt. Ryan had been at the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard for the last four
years. He also had been ranking sup
ply officer of the yard and the entire
4th Naval District for nearly the whole
period of the World War, but was
transferred to California shortly before
the armistice.
Capt. Ryan's widow is seriously LII
in the Walter Reed Hospital in Wash
ington, where she was taken several
months ago.
AS an ensign aboard Deweys flagship,
the Olympia, Capt. Ryan helped man
the guns and performed conspicuous
and valorous service during the battle
of Manila Bay, was mentioned in Ad-
miral Dewey's dispatches and later re-
ceived the Dewey Congressional Medal.
He was a native of New York.

tive EWin Davis Of Tennessee. The
power total, however, is still below all
the other zones, with the exception Of
the fifth zone, of Rocky Mountain and
Pacific Coast States. The grand total
of power used in all zones is shown to
have increased from sci $50 watts be-
fore November, 1928, to 1,155.34o watts
today
The greatest gain in number of sta
tionS is shown by New Jersey. Addi-
tions Of one station were made in Della
ware, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi,
North Carolina, Tennessee, North Da-
kota, Arizona and Nevada.
Five Lost to Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania lost five stations, New
York and Ohio lost three each and Vir-
ginia and Louisiana lost two each since
the reallocation. Reductions of one
station each were effected in MaSSa-
chusettS, Michigan. Arkansas, Florida,
South Carolina, Illinois, Indiana. Kan
saS, Missouri, Montana, California, Col
orado, Alaska and Hawaii. The other
States have the same number as pre-
viously.
There are now 6o6 stations in opera
tion in the United States and its Terri
tories, compared with 614 before the
reallocation. There were 1888 at the
peak point, Just before the Federal Ra-
d1o Commission undertook to regulate

FEWER STATIONS

Equalization of Facilities in
Five Zones of Nation Far
From Finished.

An increase of more than one-halt
million watts in the amount Of power
used and a decrease of eight in the
number of broadcasting stations in op-
Grafton are now revealed as the changes
in the Nations broadcasting structure,
effected by the Federal Radio Commits
sion since its 1928 reallocation.
An analysis of assignments to zones
and States. which will be submitted
soon to Congress, in compliance with a
resolution by Senator Sackett Of Ken
tucky will show, however, that the
equalization of facilities ordered by the
plished While the number of wave
lengths in use in each of the five zones
is about equal. there are decided vari-
ances in the number of stations and the
amount of power now used in each zone.
Question for Debate.
Whether equalization among five
zones arbitrarily established by the law
and then among the States in each
zone in proportion to population IS a
practical possibility is expected to be
one of the major points of debate when
Congress takes up radio legislation
soon Several members of the commits
sion have admitted that equalizing such
an intangible variable as radio, which
respects no political boundaries. cannot
be accomplished If good radio reception
conditions are to be preserved.
Today the number of stations In each
Of the zones is as follows: First zone
III; second, 90; third, 1T; fourth. 1852;
fifth, 124. These represent an increase
since November, 1928, of six In the first
zone, but decreases of eight in the
second, three in the fourth and three
in the fifth zones. The third zone re-
tains the same number of stations il
previously had, certain States having
gained what others lost. AS for power
the first zone now has an aggregate OF
So7 ,225 watts; the second, 226,855 watts
the third, 188,070 watts; the fourth
325,265 watts, and the fifth. 107,92S

HAIR AS EVIDENCE ] OF ALLEGED ATTACK
Woman Brings It to Police
 Wrapped in Wax Paper

In her hands a strand of hair wrapped in waxed paper. a woman living at 40 North street called at the police station last evening and tearfuly presented her argument She wanted the man who yanked the hair out arrested. But the police told her that she would have to get warrant from Prosecuting Attor- ney Joseph G. Woods
 Because he had been to her home Tuesday evening and found no cause for police action. the woman direct ed her ra 'ment to Officer Gustave Hellberg. However, the woman claimed to have been struck on the side Of her head by a neighbor, but when the officer felt for the bump he could not find it. At the time Officer Hellberg investigated, there was no evidence that the hair had been pulled out. The officer also learned that the fight started when she threw mop at the neighbor but did not injure him. The woman did not learn that the hair had been pulled out until she was combing her hair Tuesday night.
 After excoriating the officers for not making the arrest Tuesday night, the woman re-wrapped her hair and started to search for the prosecutor. He was not in his office, nor was he at home. Late last night, informed of the event. he stated that he would not issue 8 warrant until the woman made her complaint to him.
