science Editor NEA Serrice


KTEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The high
N spot appearing in the spread
of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn to the Pacific and the gulf
coasts may, in the minds of some,
be the prolonged gala" program
prepared for this event the night
Of Jan. 8.
But the real high spot is the
remarkable rise Of this system from
a chain of fifteen stations only fif-
teen months ago to a network of
nearly fifty today.
This and the national Broadcast
Company give the entire United
states and adjoining territories
SUI coyerage" Of programs such
as only New York can provide.
Buys WABC as "Eey"
At the same time this expanded
network is inaugurated, it is an
nounced that the Columbia System
has bought station WABC in New
York and it is preparing to build
p new highpower transmitter from
which the entire new network will
operate.
WABC at present is part time
"key" station for the Columbia
System, sharing its program with
VIC.
The old network of the Columbia
System remains the basic network"
Of the new group. This consists of
twenty seven stations in practically
the same area which the original
system covered.
Here according to the company's
announcement, there is population
of 100000, including potential
radio audience of 27500000.
South Well Represented
Three new southern groups are
70 be added to this basic network.
The first group includes the stations
in Richmond Norfolk and Asheville,
serving 100000 in Virginia, North
and South Carolina. Tennessee,
Kentucky and part OF West Vir-
ginia
The second southern group takes
in Nashville, Chattanooga, Birming-
ham and Memphis. including more
than 100000 inhabitants in their
territory.
The third group in the south is
rather southwestern, as Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Texas are repre-
scented with stations in Hot Springs,
Oklahoma City. Wichita, Dallas, TT.
Worth and San Antonio.
Here is another 7,00n"0C popula-
ton to be covered by tn addition.
Group in Far West
The fourth group to be added to
the system is that of the far west
and the Pacific coast. The stations
in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Port
land. Seattle and Spokane already
have been linked to the eastern net

In addition to these groups there
are the supplementary stations in
Minneapolis Paul, Milwaukee

3 WAIT TRIAL
IN WITCHCRAFT
MURDER CASE
Large Crowds Expected
Monday at Opening of
Hearing.
Umited Press

BIZ United Press
YORK, Pa, Jan. 3.-Ancient be-
liefs in witchcraft viii come under
the scrutiny Of the law here Mon
day when three persons go on trial
for a murder said to have been ccm-
mitted over a lock of hair.
The three defendants, all ridden
by superstition and black magic
which still thrives in this modern
community, are John Curry. a.
Wilbert Hess. 10, and John Blyrnyer.
%. They have confessed killing
Nelson D. Rehmeyer, a hermit
like farmer, to get a lock of his hair
and break a spell which they be-
lieved Rehmeyer cast over them. V
Their confessions set forth that
they did not intend to kill the
witch as they called Rehmeyer,
but they expressed no repentance
for the act.
Expect Large Crowds
They were agreed, however, thas
they felt better" after the farmers
death.
Expectation Of large crowds at
the trial has caused Judge Ray F.
Sherwood to announce that special
precautions will be taken to pre-
serve order. The courtroom doors
will be locked after the seats have
been filled.
Blyrnyer's attorney has indicated
he will offer insanity as the plea ~
defense Of his client, pointing out
that for a time Blymyer was in the
state hospital for the insane at
Harrisburg.
Fought for Lock of Hair aa
Members of the Hess family were,
said to have become suspicious that
thew were being "hexed' when their
chickens died. Consulting pow-wow
doctors. they we're told they would
have to find the witch" and op-'
tain a lock of his hair before the
spell could be broken.
Accordingly, by some strange
means, Wilbert Hess and his two
COMPANIONS arrived at the COM
clusion that Rehmeyer was the
witch. Their confessions said they
went to his home and struck him
with a piece of wood, planning 20
knock him unconscious and clip a
lock Of his hair. But Rehmeyer
fought back, they said, and IN the
fight he was killed.
