MEASURE DESIGNED
TO OUTLAW LOTTERY
Representative French Will Intro
duce Bill Prohibiting Adver-
Using Over Radio.

Lottery advertising via the radio,
more or less common practice Of sta
tons in the West, would be prohibited
under a bill introduced in the House
by Representative French, Republican,
Of Moscow, Idaho.
The lottery long has been prohibited
In the United States as form Of gam
bling, and newspapers are not permitted
under the law to transmit lottery adj
vertising through the mails. The radio
law contains no provisions banning lot
terry announcements and advertising or
station, although such announcements
are in interstate commerce and admit
tedly violate Federal law.
Mr.. French says that newspapers
throughout his State have complained
about broadcasting stations accepting
lottery advertising when the newspapers
are restricted by law, and thus lose an
appreciate amount of advertising. All
modes of advertising, he said, should be
subjected to the same laws.
In the case of radio, according to Mr..
French, his bill would apply an old pro-
vision Of law to new means of COM
munication. It would amend the radio
act of 1927 to this end. His bill has
been referred to the House merchant
marine committee, but, of course, will
not be considered until the regular ses-
sion OF Congress in December.
