Iron Man of South
Fights to Stay ON Air
'0iI Barons' Seek to Grab
Wave Length; Takes
Battle to Capital.
BY JOSEPH III. BAIRD,


WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-"The
iron man of the south" will appear
before the federal radio commission
Wednesday to defend his radio sta
ton against the coil barons."
The man is w. K. Henderson of
Kenwood, La, whose wit and fire
have gone through the ether to a
million radio sets during the last
few years from his station, KWKH.
Armed with what he forecasts as
"a baggage car full of letters and
kilograms" from station fans, Hen
derson will fiht the petition of Sta
tion KVOO, controlled by the Skelly
Oil Company of Tulsa, Okla, for
his Wavelengtt, $50 kilocycIes.
Blasts Commission
Radio listeners in Washington
today told story after story to il
lustrate Henderson's colorful per-
sonality and programs. These fans
say:
He often begins his programs
with the salutation of Hello,
world. This is station KWKH. How
about drink?"
Though dependent on the fed
eral radio commissions favor for
his stations life, he often berates
it severely over the ether.
When he appeared before the
commission in October, 1927, to ask
an increase in power, he brought a
box of fan kilograms six feet high.
It required three or four muscular
men to bring it into the committee
room.
Used Canned" Music
Back in the days before the radio
commission required stations to an
the fact when they broad
cast canned music" or phonograph
records, Henderson used to stri e up
TO the microphone and say:
"Paderewski will now play for us
(or perhaps it was "Caruso will
sing'o and then play a phonograph
record of the artist. This perform
ance brought the radio commission
many fan letters praising the sta
ton for its excellent programs.
An interesting political angle of
the fight for frequencies between
Henderson, millionaire iron foundry
man, and the Tulsa Oil Company
was pointed out here today.
Fans Take Part
The head of the Skelly Oil Com
pany is Republican national COM
mitteeman from Oklahoma, while
Mrs. j. N. Grirnmill, wife of Hen
derson's chief counsel, is national
omrnitteewoman from Louisiana.
The impending fight between
Henderson and the Tulsa station is
prompting thousands of fans to
write to the federal radio commits
sion, some expressing heated dis
approval and others glowing praise
of the Louisiana broadcaSter.

closed corporation plan or you Will

Tersely put, such probably will be
the recommendations made by the
senate ar1nory probe committee
when it reports to the senate late
this week or early next week.
1t was learned today by The In
dianapoliS Times that the investiga-
tors report not only will give sta,
tistics regarding construction of
armorieS under auspices of the state
arnory board during the last four
years, but will contain very specific
advice.
Urge Rentals Be Paid
This will be that the "closed
corporation" plan of armory con-
struction be halted forthwith and
that no more buildings be erected
under the system that prevailed
throughout the Jackson regime. .y
To keep those buildings already
built and protect bondholders who
have purchased securities as tax
exempt and bearing AZ per cent
interest, the committee will recon-
mend that sufficient appropriation
t@ made of the adjutant-general to
pay the lease rentals. Under the
closed corporation" plan these
lease rentals pay rent and interest
on bonds as well as canceling the
principal over a f1fteen-year period
and making the armories finally the
property Of the state.
Report Delayed
7 The buildings now are owned by
holding companies, called trustees,
built by the Ostrom Realty and
Construction Company and financed
through the Peoples State Bank.
parent institution of the contractors.
Under the investigation resolution
the report was due in the senate
Monday, but more time was granted
upon request of Senator Alor1zo H.
Llndley, chairman of the committee.
He is having additional data on
various armories gathered by the
state board of accounts and also
seeks more information from
Adjutant : General William H.
Kershner, he said.
President Felix M. McWhirter of
The Peoples State Bank and Prest-
dent Henry OStrom of the con-
struction company have appeared
before the investigators and upheld
their construction and financing
methods.
Free Competition Provided
Lindley already has introduced a
bill which would prevent such a syS-
tenn ever again prevailing in any
governmental department, since it
calls for free and open competition
on public work done by, holding
companies, with all affairs under di-
rect supervision of the state board
of accounts. The bill was favorably
reported out of committee today
and advanced to second reading.
Should the senate accept the
committee recommendation to halt
armory building under the present
plan, the Lindley bill will not be
necessary to bring the matter to
close for no appropriations would be
made to further construction.

MUSKRAT SEASON OPENED
Much Activity in Leipsic, Wood

The muskrat season opened Mon

cold weather on for the opening
day, there was much activity in
the Woodland Beach, Taylor's
Bridge and Leipsic vicinities. Sun
day being December the first, the
real opening day, trapping did not
begin until Monday. The seasons
outlook is fair in the marshes in
this vicinity. Up near Delaware
City, however, several marhes have
been hit owing to the fact that
marshes bordering the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal were flooded
six weeks ago when the north bank
broke during a severe storm. The
yield on those lands will be small
compared with other years. Musk
rats are reported to be plentiful
this year, particularly on the Del

hides will sell for about 81 a piece.
