LAW TAKES CENTER
OF RADIO STAGE.
Congress and American Bar
Association to Delve Into
Legal Problems.
by MARTIN CODEL.

Not only are judicial reviews of many
radio situations promised in the courts,
but Congress and the American Bar
Association will soon delve deeply INTO
the legal problems that beset the young
science and industry. Law has taken
the center Of the stage IN radio TINS
month, at least so far as those inter-
ested in its administration by the Fed
eral Government are concerned.
1t is practically certain now that the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce. which has held some hearings
on the Couzens bill for the creation of
a communications commission, VIII
await the disposition OF the tarin Dill
before resuming these hearings. In the
meantime, however. the committee mas
engaged special counsel to conduct the
hearings in their subsequent stages.
Explain COuzens Bill.
The mere appointment OF special
attorney indicates how intent Senator
Couzens and his committee are IN their
proposal to investigate in a sweeping
manner all phases of interstate trans
mission of intelligence and power by
wire or wireless. Under the CoGzens
bill 1t is proposed to place the juris-
diction over both wires and radio in the
hands OF a single commission.
William C. Green of st. Paul has
been appointed to the post. He arrived
here this week, and is now engaged in
an intensive study Of the problem. Mr..
Green, who was recommended by the
two Senators from North Dakota, was
formerly assistant attorney general Of
that State under Seth Richardson, now
an Assistant Attorney General of the
United States. His experience with ra-
do has been confined to representing in
all radio matters the st. Paul ASsocia-
ton, sponsor Of st. Paul's large broad
casting station.
The American Bar Association will
consider the report of its first COM
mittee on radio law at its annual meet
ing at Memphis, Tenn, october % to
IS. The report opposes enactment OF
the Couzens bill, at least until radio
regulation. now a makeshift, is placed
on "a sound and durable basis" 1t also
contains many other recommendations,
notably for repeal of the anti-monop-
oily provision of the radio act and re-
peal of the provision prohibiting wire
and wireless mergers.

American Bar Associations committee.

argue the case for the General Electric
CO., as he did before in the lower court.
To Clarity Issues.
The WGY case is expected to clarity
several important issues of law, the
most significant of which are the rights
of radio stations and the authority OF
the Federal Radio Commission to limit
their operations.
Property rights may be determined.
The issue of property rights is raised in
several new cases that went to the Court
of Appeals of the District of Columbia
last week on appeal from the Federal
Radio Commission. Seven such cases
are now before that court.

Most OF those who come seeking flowers
from his garden have neglected to plant
any Of their own.
But why pIolong the tale? When you
are working in your garden you have
more visitors - or intruders - than at
any other time. They like to enjoy a
garden they themselves have not la
bored in. They can think Of more
things to talk about and delay an in
dustrious gardener cramped for time
than any one can imagine. The home
gardener wants to be good neighbor.
He wants to welcome heartily his guests.
He likes to have them enjoy his garden.
But at the proper time When he has
more to do than time to do 1t in, and
neighbors on the way to the movies
stop to talk namely, just time-killing,
he is on the rack. He suffers in mind
and body.
Just a hint to some Of the thought
less ones: When your neiehbor is at
work in his garden, do not intrude. Or
better still-go to work in garden of
your own.

The campaign has failed. It was
born to fail, for the instinct for religion
is firmly rooted in the mind of man.
The Soviet leaders tried in vain to show
the people the error OF their ways. Per-

the French Revolution, when pseudo

Hit-and.Run AutOist
Given Term in Prison

From the Des MONIES Tribune Capital
7 A Des Moines man has just been SEN
fenced to serve two years in the State
penitentiary for hitting q man with an
automobile and then running instead
of reporting the accident or trying to
help the victim.
It seems stiff. to be sure, and 1t seems
stiff chiefly because the hit-and-run
offense is so common and the offenders
are so seldom caught and punished.
So while the ordinary person may
feel a twinae of pity for the man caught
and punished this time-though he had,
to his sorrow, little pity for the man he
accidentally HIT must be said that
as a matter of public policy the court
is to be congratulated for imposing the
penalty.
1t is sometimes said that getting a
banker to the penitentiary is hard, but
1t has been easier to get bad bankers
there in the last few years than to get
hit-and-run drivers there.

three or four years at least dozen such

The Gardener on the Rack.

Now is the time when all good home
folks are taking an interest In their
garden plots. An attractive flower gar
den means thought, doing things at the
right time-and labor. OF course, the
compensations are out Of all proportion
to what is exacted-the feel and smell
of overturned mother earth. the health
giving exercise In fresh air and sun
shine, the Joy of seeing the marvel OF
plant growth, delight in having had
some part in producing such beautiful
things as flowers.
After the rainy spell the home yard
gardeners have to hustle to get their
flower plots In shape and planted. The
man who spends his days In ONCE or
zigzaggins between appointments looks
forward to the all too brief hour after
dinner when he can get busy with his
spade or trowel. He makes valiant
start. The ardor of making a garden
is upon him; he is wooing nature.
And then come neighbors and others.
Perhaps twenty persons in row will ask
him, some of them as they have done
every year, the name of a particular
rose. He will answer patiently. Others
will deftly hint that they would like
few roses, and, to save his bushes
from being torn to pieces or his ram
blers from being pulled from their trel-
Uses, he stops to cut some for his un-
invited guests. If he is using bone meal
along will come a man who insists that
ne should get some particular brand o.
commercial fertilizer. Another will lee.
