Bury Editor of Civil Var
WdH-P Paper Publication
Veterans Recall How Edition
Won High Favor With
General Grant.

Burial at Lebanon today of
Colonel A. B. Champion, "a, one of
the most colorful veterans Of the
Civil war, cast a pail of gloom over
G. A. r. headquarters at the state
house.
When word of his death came
many of his comrades gathered at
such places as Fl. Friendly TO re-
late the many anecdotes of his ca
reer.
Chief among them is the one most
relished by members of the Old
Time Printers Club here, to which
the colonel belonged.
1t concerns the fall of Vicksburg
when General Grant marched his
army into the city.
In that army was Private Cramp-
ton, who before the war had been
a bound boy" in print shops in
both Indiana and Michigan.
When the command was given to
fall out" Champion found he had
been dismissed directly in front of
the office of the Vicksburg Citizen.
He stepped inside.
The newspaper Office had been
abandoned when the city fell. APP
%parently, the abandonment came
just at deadline. For there in the
forms was page n of the paper, all
made up.
Champion scanned the type.
There was a Page / editorial
which lamented the fact that
V%icksburg citizens were near star
walton, but predicted that they
would be eating chicken and rab-
bit soon, with the Union forces de-
feated.
Champion went to the type cases
and set up an add to that story. 1t
said something about it being best
to catch a rabbit before you can
make too many plans to eat it.
Then, with assistance of several
comrades, he set to work to get the
paper out. First difficulty was to
find something to print it on. All
the print paper had been taken
away when the place was evacuated.
Copies of the wall paper editions
came back to Indiana. Many are
priced today.

COMMISSION BANS
TOY" RADIO UNITS
Ruling Irks Manufacturers
Planning Stations for
Christmas Trade.

= EVERAL toy manufacturers today
are bewailing the fact that there
"ain't no Santa Claus and they
~ are blaming the Federal Radio
Commission for thwarting their
we'll laid plans.
What harm could there be, they i'm
plore, in building thousands of working
miniature radio stations-lust ordinary
toys-for Christmas trade this Winter,
particularly when business looks so
good? But along comes the radio COM
mission and tells them that radio sta
tion is a radio station, irrespective OF
size. A license must be obtained for
each and every toy before it can be
built. More than that. the station
operator" or the youngSter who would
get the transmitter as Christmas gift,
would have to qualify as broadcaster
and obtain a Federal license.
The commissions legal division, 1t
was learned. i,a, drafted formal opin-
ion. Several yalus long. informing the
manufacturers that they have violated
the radio act of 1927. Toy transmitters,
if they operate to send out electrical
impulses, however minute, are not toys
at all and therefore are taboo.
1t happened this way. While Radio
Commissioner Harold A. Lafount was
on the Pacific Coast last month in
specting radio activities. a Los Angeles
manufacturer proudly showed him his
factory shelves SadEn with some 5000
toy" stations He soasted it was
'sure-fre" Christmas product, selling
for a few dollars
Mr.. Lafount expressed deep concern.
He knew the radio law, which specifies
that no radio station, regardless OF size,
can be built without a construction
permit from the commission and that
no station can be operated without a
license. He learned that several other
coast manufacturers had invaded the
same line Of manufacture.
The case was presented to the COM
missions lawyers. There wasn't any
legal question about it. The fact that
the baby sets use fly powder didn't
matter. They transmit impulses, ad-
mittedly, only a few hundred feet. But
that transmission, says the law, con-
StltuteS interstate commerce" and in
terstate commerce means Federal super
vision by the radio commission.
Theoretically, station, no matter
how small. can cause interference in a
neighboring State While the signal
itself cannot be heard. the inaudible
carrier wave can set up brand of
commotion with regularly licensed sta
listener. That's the reason the COM
mission is always on the warpath
against outlaw" or unlicensed stations

A per cent drop in the number of

director, on the basis of reports from
approximately half the States
The money outlay in July showed an

shat between 200,00000 and 100000
600 pounds would be made available

This meat will be used to augment
