Who Was
Who?
By Louise M. Constock
BROTHER JONATHAN

QACK in Revolutionary days 1t was

Washington, when confronted by
knotty problem of state, was wont 10
say 1--WE will have to see what Brotn-

Brother Jonathan was Jonathan
Trumbull, governor of Connecticut at
the time of the Revolution, one OF our
first great patriots. He was also an
cestor of an illustrious line OF Frum-
bulls, including John, artist, who IN
1856 painted the huge historical pic
lures in the rotunda of the CAPITOL
and the modern governor of Connecu-
cut, John Fl. Trumbull whose daugh-
ter not so long ago married John
Coolidge.

BLUEBEARD

COMPARED to his prototypes in real
~ life the Bluebeard Of our fairy
story books was mild and benevolent
man. King Henry VIII ran him close
second in the matter of winning and
disposng Of wives, forbidden doors
and box lids abound in literature. from
the myth Of Pandora down, and 1t Is
quite probable that the arch-villain
Bluebeard Is merely compilation of
many bad men of legend and folk tale
all rolled into one.
IF credit for inspiring this famous
character, however, is to be given any
one man, he was GILES de Rail-, one
OF Joan of Arcs generals and mar
shall of France during the Fifteenth
century, whose vilainies make Blue
bears appear meek and home-loving
husband. Giles inherited large for
tune and political prominence; the
first he squandered, the second he dis
graced. When bankrupt he turned to
alchemy, sought the favor, so they say.
OF the devil through black magic, made
human sacrifice of innumerable little
boys and girls, and Is said to have
been the one to betray Joan of Arc in.
to the hands Of the English. The
church finally convicted him of sor.
Gerry. and he was burned at the stake
for his atrociOus cruelties in 1440.

DILL PRESSES
FOR PASSAGE
OF RADIO BILL
important Amendments to
Present Laws Are Made
by Measure.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA plan
to obtain immediate action on his
bill. containing important amend
ments to the federal radio law was
framed today by Senator Clarence
c. Dill Dem. Wash9 after the
conference with senate leaders.
The measure already has passed
the house, and been reported ia
vorably by the senate commerce
committee.
If it becomes law soon, it will
mean there can be more extensive
public discussion of such questions
as ratification of the lame duck
amendment, and possible repeal
proposal, during the period when
most legislatures will be in session.
The bill provides that equal time
must be given by radio stations to
opponents and proponents of ref
BRENDA, as must now be given to
rival candidates for Office.
Bar Foreign Ownership
An amendment which will have
opposition from navy spokesman
permits 20 per cent of the directors
of a radio corporation to be aliens,
whereas the present law bars such
representation. Foreign ownership
of the International Telephone and
Telegraph Company and other
concerns necessitated this change,
in the committees opinion.
In answering the navy's objec-
tons, Dill points out the President
has authority to seize all radio sta
tons in time of war. But naval Of
flcers claim foreign representation
on directorates in peace time may
place secret codes in jeopardy.
Bar Lottery Advertising
The advertising of lotteries or
gifts over the radio is barred under
the new provisions. This may close
the air to certain individuals and
concerns, including some politicians
and political organizations.
Under another section, j. III.
Brinkley, Kansas goat gland spe-
cialist, would be prohibited from
sending his programs to his power
full Mexico station, and then trans
uniting them back to this country.
Barred from use of his former
station in Kansas by the radio COM
mission, Brinkley erected a $4,000
watt station across the border. The
proposed amendment, however,
gives control over all programs orig
mating in studio in this country.
License Charge on Stations
A companion measure, introduced
by Dill imposes a license charge on
all radio stations. 1t is expected
to raise about 100000, or half the
commissions operating costs.
Still another section requires COM
mission members to sit in on all
hearings instead of turning them
over to examiners. Many impor-
tant cases involving freedom OF
speech, Dill points sout, have been
disposed of by subordinates with
out the interested parties getting a
chance to present their side to the
commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-What-
ever Democrat gets the position of
first assistant postmaster general
may prepare to roll up his sleeves
and go to work.
He is going to have the task of
firing postmasters and mail carriers
who don't come up to scratch. He
is going to have to listen to COM
plants from innumerable congress-
men, senators and politicians.
Persons are going to tell him their
morning mail was late, and demand
better service.
Others are going to poster him
with constant requests for extension
OF rural mail routes. And he is
going to have to manage the dead

He Has Drab Office
"The most irritating and dis
agreeable part of his work." said
Arch Coleman, the incumbent, 'is
the disciplinary side of it.
About 10000 persons are attached
to my bureau and I have to pass
on all cases of dismissal and so
forth. On one side, l am torn bv
sympathy and mercy, and the other
by departmental requirements"
The first assistants Office is on
the fifth floor of the old postoffice
building. It's woodwork is dark
and its walls painted a drab brown,
oil paintings Of former first as
sistants and postmasters- general
adorn the walls Most of the light
is shut out by an adjoining build
ing.
Requires Postal Experience
Coleman's successor will go into
more elegant quarters in another
year when the new postoffice build
ing is completed.
In Colemans opinion, the job re-
quires previous postal experience.
For many years he was postmaster
at Minneapolis.
"A man could work here twenty
four hours day and still not be
through" Coleman said.
The salary is $4,000 normally; I'M
der the economy it is $8,250
