SENATOR ME
 PEEvED OVER
 MOSES WORK
Campaign Committee S Ex- penses Are Printed
 Subject for Gossip

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30.- Senator Gerald P. Nye, Chairman of the Campaign Funds Commit tee, assailed in the Senate Senator George H. Moses for placing in the Congressional Record the itemized statement showing the Nye Com mittee spent $97,000
 Senator Nye said:
 T can see the pages of the Con gressional Record in the hands of every one of my political foes in North Dakota when I seek re- election next year, and the tongues wagging, how lavishly Nye lives at Government expense. I can also hear it whispered around the Chamber that a scandal is coming involving the funds of the Com mittee and one member has been warned he had better get off
 Senator Nye protested it was unfair to have the account published before checking.
 Senator Moses said the move was made without any regard to the ambitions of Senator Nye.

WAVE LENGTHS OF MILLIONS NV VALUE
 TO BE FREE SOON

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan 30.- Wave lengths valued in the ag- gregate at millions of dollars, will shortly be freed for commercial use as the result of an exhaustive investigation of Army and Navy radio activities now virtually con- pleted by special commission ap- pointed at the direction of Presi- dent Hoover.
 This commisslon, which was ap- pointed by the President to elimi- nate duplication of radio services by the Army and Navy and worK out plans for better coordination between the two national defense services, already has recommended that eleven of the wave lengths used by the Army and Navy in communicating with Alaskan points should be released for private use
 Another possibility, 1t was learned today, is that the Army's radio net which has grown at a tre- mendous rate during the last few years, may be sharply curtailed in the United States proper and the business it now transacts for the various government de D rtments permitted to go to commercial com panies.

BILL WILL BAN GIN MARRIAGES

OLYMPIA, Wash. Jan 30.-To prevent gin marriages" and other nasty weddings, a three-day mar riage ban bill has been introduced in the legislature by Representative Arthur s. Cory of Lewis County.
 According to the provisions of the bill, all wedding licenses will be post-dated so that a marriage could not be performed until three days after the license is taken out.
 "Too many couples are getting married on the spur of the mo- ment as result of drinking par ties" Cory said. "The three-day ban would give them chance to sober up and many unhappy marriages would be prevented"

MYSTERIES MAY BE SOL WE'D BY. ARREST OF TWO
Petersburg Arrests May Uncover Murder Trail,
 Says Marshal White

The arrest of two men at Peters burg Thursday by Deputy United States Marshal w. H. Caswell, on charges of violating the National Prohibition Act, may uncover a murder trial which will clear away he mystery that surrounds the dis appearance of two men and their possible death, and the death of a third man, it was said today by United States Marsh al Albert White.
 The arrested men are Clarence iangton and Charles Anderson. They were arraigned yesterday be- fore United States Commissioner Clausen at Petersburg and bound over to the Federal Grand Jury on sn N. P. A. charge under a bond of sl0,0oo each.
 Believe Solution Near
 Deputy Caswell has been in Pe- tersburg for several days making m investigation of the mysterious disappearance of Albert sFarrow and [. c. Davis. In reporting to Mar hal White, following the arrests and binding over of the two men, he said T am confident we have cleared up the disappearance of several parties in the First Division this year" Langton and Ander- son, it was said, were equipping a 'secreted" still house and had ma- terial to start operations when they were arrested. It was reported they had told conflicting stories to off, cers which led to the belief they had done away with both Far row and Davis
 Federal officers. including spe- cial agent of the Bureau of Investi- gaton, nave oeen working on this and other cases of similar nature for several weeks. Evidence was at hand sometime ago, said Marshal White, that Farrow and Davis left Petersburg on November 12, for Langton and Anderson's camp in West Coast of Prince of Wales

DEMOCRATS WILL
 FORGE PROGRAM, DROUGHT RELIEF
Prepared to Go Into Extra Session House Is
 Stumbling Block

WASHINGTON. D. O., Jan. 30.-- Senate Democrats have decided to go to any limits necessary to obtain their relief program. Senator Rob- inson, minority leader, supported the plan for a finished fight with President Hoover and the Red Cross for his $25,O0O,0o0 relief appropria- ton. He is also determined to insist upon an appropriation of twenty million bushels of Farm Board wheat. a $3,0O0,000 fund for medical supplies and S5,000,000 for organization of relief corpora tion.
 All of the relief appropriations have been approved by the Senate but the House has not acted upon them
 The Democrats have made it clear they are willing to force an extra session to get the program through Congress.

 ONDON, Eng, Jan. 30.-"Dame Rumor." silent for so long anent the matrimonial affairs of H.R.H The Prince of Wales, is about due to timber up her artillery in prep aration for another barrage of con- lecture; for Prince Eddie is going on another trip-to South Ameri- ca this time-and the trip will not be a success if Dame Rumor" fails to provide the love interest.
 Book of Brides
 The Prince is not, as one would expect, annoyed at the attentions of Dame Rumor" On the con- trary, every scrap of gossip she has promulgated concerning him and This brides-to-be" has been saved and carefully filed for in- clusion in the most interesting vol tune of the royal library. H.R.H. calls it his Book of Brides"
 There. can surely be no other book quite like it in existence. For it contains all the newspaper and other publication references from all parts of the world to his mar riage prospects, and especially the choices made by Dame Rumor" of his Queen-to-be.

 There are scores of chapters on the Princes Book of Brides, some reaching the sublime heights of romantic imagination, others delv- ing into the uttermost depths of absurdity.

 Free to Wed
 It is now generally accepted in England that the Prince may mar ry whom he pleases whether she be of royal blood or commoner- with one stringent constitutional reservation.
 No King of England or heir to the throne may marry Roman Catholic. Were he to do so, it would involve forfeiture of the right of succession unless such a union were made valid by special act of Parliament.
 We will leave Dame Rumor' to the task of oiling her tongue mus cles for her next campaign in which she will doubtless provide another entry in the Book of Brides-this time, mayhap, bright daughter of the pampas.
