RADIO RAMBLES
Here and There
In the Realm Of
Broadcastins
By STANLEY BIGELOW

What radio needs is q new
deal-and that very soon.
In the opinion Of DR.. Alfred
N. Goldsmith, consulting engineer
Of the Radio Corporation Of
America, there must be an i'm
provement in radio programs.
His complaint is that broadcast
ing aims at too low an intelli-
gence.
In fact, it is DR.. Goldsmith's
opinion \ that broadcastS have
slipped back to the level Of the
early '20s.
In the early days Of broadcast.
ing, he says, there was plenty of
originality. Current programs
lack new ideas. What we need
nowadays is more showmanship.

WITT APPEAL
is ARGUED IN
HIGH TRIBUNAL
SeIdom-RaiSed Law Point
Is Brought Out in Fight
to Block Execution.

Indiana supreme court judges to-
day we're confronted with seldom
raised point Of law as they heard
oral arguments by Ira NJ. Holmes,
attorney, on the appeal of Charles
Vernon Witt from death sentence
for the murder Of Lafayette Jack
son, chain store head.
The point raised by Holmes is
that no warrant ever was served on
Witt, and, therefore, Lebanon cir
cult court, in which he was found
guilty, never had proper jurisdic-
ton.
So intrigued were members Of the
high tribunal that several of them
questioned Holmes frequently dur
ing his argument.
Joseph Mcnamara, deputy attor-
ney- general, and Floyd Mattice,
deputy county prosecutor. who was
head Of the state counsel at the
Lebanon trial, opposed Holmes petit
ton for a new trial.
Mattice cOntended that no war
rant for arrest was necessary, and
that proper indictment by the Mar
ion county grand jury was sufficient
to give jurisdiction to the Lebanon
court The case was taken to the
Lebanon court on change Of venue.
Mattice also declared that no
question can be raised on an appeal
that was not raised in the lower
court from which appeal is taken.
Witt, with Louis f. Hamilton, al
legged trigger man." were found
guilty of killing Jackson in a hold
UP at the main store Of the Stand
ard Grocery Company. Hamilton
also is under a death sentence.
Sentenced to die in the electric
chair July II, Witt was arrested on
the street by indianapolis police be-
fore any warrant for his arrest was
issued Hamilton was returned from
lola, Kan.

JAILED COUPLE
TO Be MARRIED
IN CITY COURT
Legal Ceremony to Release
Locks of Cell Doors
Here for Pair.

Love, in true 1888 style, is sup
pressed behind the bars of the Mar
ion county jail, but, at 2 this aft
ernoon, a legal ceremony in NUM-
cipal court is to release the locks
of the jail doors and emotion.
In the Woman'S division of the
jail is Miss Mary Jane Gray, 49,
year-old Cleveland girl. In the 9TH
er section is the object of her
dreams of love in the form of Harry
Lynn ePterson, 81, Los. Angeles.
The story of their romance dates
back five weeks But the unSym-
pathetic Indianapolis police Jared
the love story when they arrested
the couple last week in downtown
hotel.
Does a Butterfly Fly?'
This morning Judge William H.
Sheaffer predicted all probably will
reach happy ending with an
nouncement of the couples cere-
mony to be held this afternoon.
But, Miss Gray, has her own way
of telling the world of her love for
Peterson.
Asked if, way down deep in her
heart, she carried that faithful to
the last feeling she replied:
Does a butterfly, fly, or does a
graSshopper, hop?-thats the way
feel about Harry" she said through
the bars.
Closer questioning revealed from
the girl that her references to the
fitting of butterflies and the gy-
rations of grasshoppers meant that
she really is in love.
No Trickery, Now
why, 1 loved Harry the first time
ever saw him." she said. That
was five weeks ago and 1 still love
him, He love SINE, too, I'm sure
of that"
She Immediately denied that their
marriage was any attempt to side
step the clutches of the law.

Its a case of real-for- sure love-"
And, she's sure, Harry is going
to work hard for her.
you know he's plane pilot, and
everything will be fine after We get
married and leave here" she added.
Whether that will be true, no one
can predict, but it's safe to say that
they'll be married properly in the
eyes of the court.

ton % cases are maintained at
Ellis Island until their ships sail.
There is no maintenance for 10
cal cases, although it usually re-
quires month to put through an
application.
The three-year clause in Section
% limits its application. Prac-
tically all the eligible aliens Who
have entered the country since
Jan. l, 1880, have already applied
for repatriation.
Under an act of March 2, 1929,
aliens who entered the United
States irregularly prior to June
3, 1921, may regularize their status
by obtaining a certificate of regis
try from the bureau of immigra-
ton.
They must prove continuous
residence and good character.
The fee for the service is $40, and
the registry division is one of the
few branches of government serv-
ice that return a dividend. There
were $4,000 registrations during
1882. Four thousand of these
passed through Ellis Island.
Aliens who entered the country
illegally prior to 1924 are not liza
BILE to deportation, even though
they fail to register, but if they
leave the United States their re-

ROOSEVELT'S POOL

IT COMES as something of surprise to
learn that considerable criticism has
been directed locally, and undoubtedly
in other parts of the country, toward
construction of a swimming pool on the
White House grounds for the use of
President Roosevelt.
The criticism, apparently, comes only
from those who have not been acquaint-
ed with the real facts in the case, and
take the stand that such bit of eXtrav-
agance in these times is highly undesir-
able
Funds for the pool were raised by con-
tributions instituted under the auspices
of numerous eastern newspapers and do
not come out of the taxpayers money.
The sum collected was forwarded to the
President with the request that he pro-
vide himself with a swimming pool.
Although anyone who has ever been
in Washington in the summer knows
that swimming pool is more necessity
than luxury, its purpose at the White
House is not merely to provide amuse-
ment for the President. A more delicate
reason for it exists.
Newspapers, writer's, even political
opponents, have been most kind and con-
siderate in refraining from commenting
OH Tie IItSluCut PllyoiSdl NOiiNiSAOii.
1t would not be mentioned here except
that it is felt necessary to do so IN order
to make this swimming pool matter clear.
Mr.. Roosevelt was seriously crippled
several years ago as the result of an at
tack of infantile paralysis For long
time he could not walk. Later he was
able to do so with the aid of crutches.
These have now been discarded for
cane, and still the support of compan-
ion is necessary, if any great amount OF
walking is to be done. These facts are
not unknown to most Americans, and
serve only to increase admiration for Mr.
Roosevelt's grit.
Swimming has been found to be one
of the most efficacious means for over
coming the results of infantile paralysis.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been compelled to
take steady course of swimming exer-
cises over a long period of years, to
bring him to his present physical con-
dition Swimming is deemed essential to
keep him at that point or to improve it.
Hence the statement that the swimming
pool is not luxury but grim necessity.
Even if there were no such reason ex-
