ings which the Senate committee on
Interstate commerce has resumed on the
CouZel1s bill 10 create q commission on
communication to Supercede the pres
ent Federal Radio Commission. J
The hearings, which were pursued In
somewhat desultory fashion last Spring,
have resumed under the guidance of
william c. Greene, special counsel en-
gagged by the Senate committee. Having
opened by questioning William b. Ter

Particular attention will be paid to
the charges. that a monopoly exists in
the field Of radio. An outline Of
subjects for consideration relative to
the Couzens bill, as drawn up by Mr..
Greene, reveals an intention TO deter
mine also whether broadcasting stations
and networks shall be clasSed as COM
mon carriers and be required to serve
the public on demand, as must other
public utilities. In fact, the public UtGl-
ity question was brought UP during the
Questioning of Mr.. Terrell.
Points in Competition.
A point was made of the fact that the
National BroadcaSting Co. recently re-
fused to place on its network the pro-
ceed1ngs OF birth control conference.
The same chain also excluded its COM
petitor from broadcasting Ramsey Mac
;dona1d'S recent speech in New York by
obtaining an exclusive ARRANGEMENT.
Senator Wheeler, in particular, wanted
to. know whether there were safeguards
in the law TO provide for the broad
casting OF both sides of any controversy.
I Except tor q requirement of an equal
use or radio facilities by contesttng
political factions, the matter of pro-
gram select1oa and censorship is now
left entirely in the hands Of station
operators. Mr.. Terrell expressed the
opinion that, for the present at least,
the radio station owner should have
the same right q newspaper proprietor

complaint about him has been from
chain store interests, which he has been
attacking on the air.
Mr.. Terrell agreed that unified Fed
eral control over communications IA
cilities was desirable. He criticized the
present zone system Of administering
radio. He told the committee that there
was much less controversy over radio
in the days when it was in the hands of
the Department of Commerce than
there is now, with control vested In the
Federal Radio Commission.
Most of the commissioners testified at
the hearings last Spring, but aIl, or
some of them, may be recalled during

StFuetion Of an automobile highway
from Seattle to Fairbanks, Alaska, yes
terday received the definite backing Of
Secretary of Interior Wilbur. several
maps of various proposed routes have
been received from Canada authorities

which have been forwarded to the
Canadian officials. The distance from
Seattle to Fairbanks is approximately
1000 miles, but only about $50 miles

to connect the two points. Most of
the new highway will be on Canadian

 Kitchen Scene or First
 Thc municipal kitchen itself was the accno or the first of the recent series Of clashes. Built partly with American funds, it serves about 1.G50 of Prague's student population. Dissatisfied with the size of the DOT tiOns of meat served, the students robcIled. The food research in- stitute, 10 which q delegation sub- mittcd the matter, agreed that the amount Of meat was insufficient and publication Of ifs findings added 10 tho students unrest.

While the racial clashes continue, trouble has also developed between students Of COmmunistiC and fascist leanings, partisans of both sides carrying their political differences to blows.
 Authorities Alarmed
 The increasing intensity of the rioting is alarming the authorities. In some quarters if is believed it may be necessary to close the tech nicaI college for q time, in view of the apparent diSinclnation of the students 10 return to their classes peacefully.
 The situation is further compIi- catod by indications of growing Uu- rest on the part of students who hlv" not been involved in the pres ,nt disturbances. Medical students. for instance, complain that only 2 tenth of the needed equipment is available in their laboratories. | A tNAJIII'n Ans

Sammy Believes He Can
Beat Jackie After Show
ing Against Chilean.
WHIPPED HIM once
BY BERT DENNY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-Convinced
he again is his old time self, Light
weight Champion Sammy Mandell
is ready to go after bigger things
the principal item in the bigger
things being the welterweight cham
pionship which Jackie Fields holds.
Mandell believes he can whip
Fields and there is no denying Sam
my certainly is capable of giving
Jackie a run for his money. Man
dell's jubilant attitude is the result
of the fine form he showed in his
recent bout with Luis Vicentini.
Looks Great
Sammy never looked better than
he did against Vicentini and Curl
ously enough the Vicentini showing
followed the champions worst exhi-
bition-an exhibition which he won
but which nearly cost him his title.
Then Mandell took a nontitle
match against the Chilean, admit
tedly one of the best of the light
weights. The champion showed more
speed, more left hands and more
ring generalship than Vicentini ever
saw. The Chilean didn't land one
really hard blow.
Sammys form Immediately
brought a demand for a bout with
Fields. 1t doubtless would be a
great fight and a sell-out here be-
cause Fields is a formar local boy
and Mandell has big following.
There are many who believe Man
dell would Outlook the welterweight
champion. Fields Is a good boxer
himself, but he never has shown
any of the boxing greatness of Man
dell.
Once Beat Fields
Jackie would have about five
pound weight advantage, but he
also would be working under the
psychological handicap of fighting
a man who had beaten him. Be-
fore Jackie became champion, Man
dell outboxed him in ten rounds.
Fields has improved greatly since
that time, but on the other hand
Mandell has added some weight.
For a fight with Fields, Sammy
probably would weigh lao pounds.
Making 135 Is Task
Mandell finds it difficult to make
the 135-pound lightweight limit, and
there are many who believe his poor
showing against Canzoneri was the
result of taking off too much weight.
Whether the two men can be
brought together is problem. Fields
has had the title only a short time
and may not want to risk it too
soon.
However, it is not at all inproba-
BILE that the fight will take place
early this winter
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-09-11

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-The
IN Yankees played an exhibition
game up at Sing Sing prison the
other day, and after seeing the
pleasure that those prison inmates
got from the game, and seeing what
Joy they got out of playing, I'm
more than ever convinced that base
ball is the best medicine in the
world for the average boy or man.
I was talking to Warden Lawes
before the game.
Baseball has been a godsend to
prison officials" he said. Since we
started having prison teams a lot Of
our discipline problems are over.
The men enjoy it. 1t gives them
plenty of exercise. 1t takes their
mind off their troubles and it gives
them something to think about and
talk about. Ii they had paid more
attention to baseball as kids a lot
of them wouldn't be here today. And
a lot Of them go forth from this
institution a lot better men for the
things they've learned on the base
ball field"
Now that's what 1 call real
tribute to the game-and after
watching and talking to those poor
chaps up there I'm convinced the
warden was 100 per cent right.
Believe me, those men loved The
game And they knew all about it,

too. I talked to fellows up there
who knew the batting averages, the
fielding marks, the pitching records.
IF we didn't get the sport pages
up here and couldn't follow the
fights and baseball dope we'd go
nutty," one of them said. Every
one here is great. They treat us
we'll and make us as happy as can
be, but it's the sports pages and the
baseball dope that gives us the
biggest kick"
Yes, indeed, now that I've seen
those fellows up there and the way
they eat up baseball, I'm convinced
that it's the greatest sport in the
world. And I still shout that if
a lot of kids we're permitted to play
more baseball there'd be a lot less
crime and trouble in the world, and
there'd be less reason for all those
long blocks of cells at Sing Sing
and other such institutions.
