past few wears as experimental" the
Federal Radio Commission on Thursday
tossed the turbulent issue back to its
chief examiner. Ellis A. Yost after that
oficial on Monday had recommended
blanket use of the maximum power OF
10000 watts for all stations on cleared
channels.
Authority Felt Exceeded.
The commission old not disclose its
reasons for remanding the case to Yost
with specific instructions to select from
the group of "a applicants eight sta
tions which should be awarded the re-
naming high-power radio plums. 1t IS
evident, however, that the commission
feels Yost exceeded his authority py
suggesting that it amend Its existing
order limiting to 20 the number OF
channels which may accommodate 3d.
OO0-watt stations.
After presiding over five weeks OF
hearings on high-power at which the
applicant stations put in their cases,
Yost held that the most important con-
tribltion the commission could make
would be to lift the ban and permit all
20 cleared channels to carry booming
power of $4,000 watts
1.-THE commission at this time declines
to consider the adviSability Of repeating
or modifying this order" said the reso-
luton adopted by that body by 4-to-1
vote. with Commissioner Harold A.
Lafount dissenting.
Now only 10 stations are on the air
with $4,000 watts. Five others nave
construction permits for transmitters Of
this power.
YOst Faces Trying Task.
Yost faces a trying task In his re-
port he said 1t would be impossible to
choose between some of the high-grade
applicant stations. Now he must do 1t.
Then, if the commission sticks to its
guns and grants only sufhcient appn-
cations to fill the existing vacancies
under its order, there will be grand
march to the courts by the stations
denied.

METHODIST BOARD
HIT BY T|NKHAM
Demands Grand Jury Action
on Charges of Corrupt
Practices.

Representative George H. Tinkham,
Republican, of Massachusetts, in let
ter to Attorney General Mitchell, de-
mands that a grand jury charge of vio-
lation Of the corrupt practices act by
the Methodist Board Of Temperance,
Prohibition and Public Morals be made
by the Attorney General.
In the letter, Tinkham said he had
made the charges before the Senate
Lobby Committee after having sub
mitted them to the Justice Department.
He said unless they were placed before
a grand jury soon the statute OF ltmi-
tation would bar action.
Tinkham charged in his letter that
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, general Sec
rotary, and DeetS Pickett, research Sec
rotary of the board, had distributed a
circular In the campaign Of 1928 "for
the purpose of influencing or attempt
ing to influence the election of cam
didates or presidential or vice presi-
Dental electors"
He said also they had failed to make
a report of the expense of distributing
the circular as required under the cor
rupt practices act.
1.-THE Office you hold" Tinkham wrote
the Attorney General, was created by
the Congress and the Congress sits in
constitutional authority over It, It Is
not to be supposed that the Congress
will look with acquiescence upon your
refusal to prosecute offenders thereby
l9fusing also to enforce salutary laws
laws intended to safeguard against the
improper use Of money in political
campaigns"

.DO-X LABELED WAR
MENACE AT GENEVA
French Delegate Calls Ger
man Plane Formidable Wea-
pon-Litvinoff Bolts.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, November ga picture
Of the Do-X, huge 12-motored German
seaplane, armored and equipped as a
bombing plane and formidable weapon
Of war was drawn for the Preparatory
Disarmament Commission OF the League
Of Nations today by Rene Massigli,
French representative.
The illusions to the Do-X were made
before gathering already startled by
one sensation, the abrupt departure of
Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet commissar for
foreign affairs, for Milan, Italy, from
where after comforting with the Rus
sian ambassador at Rome, he will pro-
coed to Moscow, abandoning his work
with the Disarmament Commission.
His departure aroused much specu-
lation as to a possible connection with
reported subversive disturbances in Rus
STA, but members of the Soviet delega-
ton remaining here declared that the
disturbances did not exist and that M.
Litvinof had left because he had done
all that was possible in the commits
sion and was disguised with its record
In drafting a disarmament treaty.
Recent Interview Cited.
M. Massigli's introduction of the
Do-X into the proceedings came in
the course Of development of his con-
tention that a highly developed civil
aviation arm constitutes a powerful ag-
gressive war menace. He cited a re-
cent interview with a member Of the
Do-X crew, who said that the giant
plane could become a formidable
weapon Of war, capable of dropping
bombs on London, Paris, Rome or other
capitals.
The entire argument was in support
of insertion in the draft treaty of an
article calling for full publicity regard
ing the number Of civil planes and
dirigibleS registered annually in each
country. Ambassador Gibson, speaking
for the United States, announced that
his Government preferred to regulate
this problem out of the bounds of the
contemplated disarmament convention,
but that If the majority of the commits
sion preferred to deal with 1t at this
time he would agree.
Bernstorff Deprecates idea.
Count Won Bernstorff, German rep
reSentative on the Disarmament Com
deprecated the idea that civil
craft might be transformed into fight
ing ships for military purposes. Ger
many, he said, strongly favors the full
est publicity on commercial airships,
but he quoted a French Air Service
official as asserting that converted
civil craft stand a feeble chance in
combat with planes built for military
service.
Viscount Cecil of Chelwood also en-
phasiZed what he regarded as the great
war potentialities of civil airships, and
he offered an amendment to the draft
treaty which would require additional
an annual statement of expenditures
by governments and local authorities
on commercial flying machines. N.
Sato, speaking for Japan, said his gov
eminent favored publicity on civil
craft.

MURDER OF NURM|
GAINING CREDENCE
Cartridges in Home Strength
en- Police Theory Gun Used
Was Not One Found.

Evidence construed by police tc
strengthen their theory that Aarvi
Nurmi, 24-year-old Census Bureau clerk,
was killed by gun other than the one
found beside him in the yard Of his
Takoma Park home Wednesday night
was reported uncovered yesterday.
The witness to an alleged quarrel be-
tween Nurmi and another man, whose
identity was learned Saturday, was To-
Gated yesterday by Sergt. Earl H. Bur-
dine of the Montgomery police and will
be interviewed by the officer later in the
week.
Two men are held on charges of
manslaughter in connection with Nurmi's
death. They are Henry w. Mcclure,
20, of the 1400 block of Columbia road,
a clerk in the Census Bureau, and John
J. OBrien, 26, of the 140O block of
Chaplin street. O'Brien is out on bond,
but Mcclure still was in the Rockville
Jail today.
Burdine said he again searched
Nurmi's home. at 1o2 Grant avenue,
yesterday and located four full .25-
caliber cartridges. They were of Rem
ington make. The officer said that this
strengthens his belief that the fatal
bullet was not fired from Nurmi's gun
because he thinks the slug taken from
the dead mans skull was fired from
another make of cartridge. An empty
Peters shell was found in the kitchen
of the home Wednesday night. This
was the only shell of its make in the
house or yard.
Sergt. Burdine also disclosed that the
automatic pistol thought to have be-
longed to Nurmi had a rusty barrel
when it was examined few hours after
the Census Bureau employe was killed.
The officer was in court today and said
he will have to testify for the next
three days, but after that intends to
consult ballistics expert concerning
the significance of his find.
He plans to determine whether the
fatal bullet was fired from the empty
Peters shell, which bore a mark made
by the firing pin slightly smaller than
the other shells. Tests also will be made
to show whether the same gun could
cause different indentations on differ
ent cartridges.
Burdine and Attorneys Joseph Cissel
and Kenneth Lyddane, defense counsel,
said they would test the range at which
Nurmi's gun would leave powder burns.
An autopsy performed by County
Health Officer William T. Pratt dis
closed there were no powder burns on
Nurmi's head.

Of ownership Of the income under State
law. and stated that under the laws
OF Washington, Arizona. Texas and
Louisiana. one half belonged to the
wife and that the Governments con-
tention the question of control should
prevail was not sound.

right to one half of the community
income she is entitled, the court as

The company corltended that in pay
ing its tax for that year it had the
right to deduct from its gross income
the munition manufacturers tax 1t had
paid in 1915.
The Government insisted the de-
duction should have been made in the
1916 return, and refused to allow it in
the 1917 return. It was sustained by
the lower courts. Justice McReynolds
