gated the case following their notiflca-
ton Of the man having been brought
to the hospital, pieced together story
of the robbery from the two mon who
found Davis, and from an incoherent
story told by Davis before he lapsed into
Inconsistencies few minutes after he
was received at the hospital.
Davis told the detectives and the
men who brought him to the hospital,

both of Accokeek, that between 1880 and
8 o'clock last night. he put his days
receipts at the general store he owns,

the stories Of the two fellow-townsmen
to whom Davis had told his story earlier.
Davis, the men said, could not iden-

him as big man. In the dark. he said,
he could not recognize the man.

were returning to their homes in Acco-

beside the roadway. They were at

by his groans.
They put Davis in their automobile

not interesting except so far as the race
for the Republican nomination for Gov

nomination for the Senate without OPP

The Democrats are claiming they
have a chance in the New Hampshire
election this year so far as Senator is
concerned, and perhaps a member of
the House. They insist that the same
discomfort which is found in Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and Rhode Island
with existing conditions is found also
in New Hampshire. and say that many
former Republicans are ready TO vote

WOMEN PLAY
LEADING PART
IN INDIA ROW
Activities Are One Of Most
Remarkable Features OF
Unusual Uprising.
BY WEBB MILLER
United Press Staff Correspondent

DELPHI. India, June l7.-Ihe
mart that women are playing in the
indian passive resistance move
ment is one of the most remarkable
features of its strangest OF all re-
bellions. ,,-4..
Never before in Indian history
have women taken such an active
part in politics, and the natloral
congress. the organization actively
supporting the campaign, is CRED
tied with being chiefly Responsible
for the change.
Women's activities unusually nave
been important because OF theH
traditional Seclusion due to religious
and special customs.
Illiteracy Is High
Those narrowing customs have
produced the highest illiteracy IN
the world among Indian women
Only one Of every sixty-three Hlnau
women is able to read and write
and only one in every l16 MosIem
women.
The custom of the 'purdah," IN
volving the complete covering OF
women's faces, still is widespread
and in travelling it is a common
sight to see women with their heads
shrouded in white robes, with only a
tinv screen to look through.
Indian leaders declare the new
awakening of the women is leading
gradually to the abandonment OF the
Durdah, except in the more remote
regions.
Women Are Pickets
The women's movement has been
progressing for ten years, and dur
ing that time they have secured a
limited enfranchisement in all Brit
ish provinces and in four Indian
States. About million women now
are entitled to ranches, based on
proper educational qualifications
and already more than one hundred
of them are municipal councillors.
Throughout India thousands OF
women now are participating III
picketing work, standing outside
liquor and foreign cloth stores, per-
suading purchasers to boycott the
cloth and give up the use OF liquor,
which is prohibited by both the
Hindu and MoSlems religions, but
which is growing, particularly in the
industrial centers.

TARGET OF CRITICS
Worst Is Aimed at Gen. SaItz.
man and Other Engi-
neers on Body.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

Severely critical eyes were focused
upon the Federal Radio Commission as
the Senate committee concluded its
hearings on the Couzens communica-
tions bill and as President Hoover left
for his Southern vacation without an
nouncing whether he intends to re-
appoint the present membership Of the
| commission.
The severest criticism is leveled
against Maj. Gen. Charles Nick. Saltz-
man and the two other engineer MEM
oerS CT the commission for steam
roller tactics in appointing Thad H.
Brown OF Ohio as general counsel of
the commission.
This was done, Gen. Saltzman ad-
| mltted, after consultation with Law
renee Richey, one of President Hoovers
| secretaries, but without consulting the
two lawyer members of the commission.
Judge E. 0. Sykes, who is in charge of
the commissions legal division, and
Judge Ira E. Robinson. the commission
chairman, were overruled and outvoted
when they objected to the hasty ap-
pointment
Senator Wheeler of Montana uuizzed
Gen. Saltzman, evoking from the latter
the admission that perhaps a mistake"
mad been made in going to the White
House about the appointment and ig-
noring the wishes of Commissioners
Sykes and Robinson.
The tenor of the senatorial inQuisi-
ton, which Commissioners Sykes, Saltz-
man and Starbuck had to undergo in
turn. reflected an apparent conviction
among the Senators that the Federal
Radio Commission is simply mud
ding" with broadcasting. These were
some OF the objections they voiced
against the present radio Set-up:
Failure to accomplish q zone and
State distribution of radio facilities in
accordance with the Davis equalization
amendment.
Allotment of too many cleared chan
nels for exclusive use by single stations.
mainly employing high power.
Granting of 81 of the 40 cleared
channels to stations subscribing to pro-
grams of one of the networks, with
consequent duplication of identical
programs.
Assigning highly favorable places in
the crowded broadcast spectrum to the
seven stations owned by the so-called
radio trust" which Senator Wheeler
insists is part and parcel of the power
trust"
casters by authorizing the use of super
power in congesed areas, notably the
New York metropolitan area. with con-
Sequent "blanketing" effects. Senator
Kean OF New Jersey was particularly
critical on this score.
In all the hearings only Commission
erS Starbuck and Lafount have de-
Tended the commissions efforts to meet
the rigorous requirements of the equal
ization amendment, which divides radio
waves and powers among FIVE zones of
unequal areas, and which Senator Dill
himself now asserts is unavoidable.
Commissioners Sykes and Robinson
have indicated they would experiment
with duplicated operations on the chan
nelS now cleared for exclusive use of
high-powered stations.
