commenting on the advice sent to him
by "fireside generals"
"These E. w. A. men, paid 40 cents
an hour for their noisemaking. Ger
tainly earn their money on these cold
nights. Furthermore, 40 cents an hour
Is a rather modest stipend for a man
who must accept the ridicule of every
passerby, particularly when that man
is doing the only work he can get. and
perhaps has family at home that he

Opposes Shooting.
The District official also frowned
on suggestions for shooting, poisoning
or electrocuting the birds. Shooting
would be fine except for two points, he
said. These are: How are. you going
to get shot at a bird that is sitting
on window ledge? And if you could,
how could they be hit without the
shot hitting the window and perhaps
some person beyond the window?
Poisoning Is out because the birds
feed in the country and only come to
town at night, Lanham said.

SOLDIERS HOME BUS
LINE TO BE STUDIED
Public Utilities Commission Asked
to Observe Number of Pas
sengers Carried.

Continuing his campaign for estab-
lishment of a crosS-town bus line,
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
has asked the Public Utilities Com
mission to make a survey of the num-
ber of passengers carried by the Sol
diers' Home bus line and the charac-
ter of the equipment used.
He protested that the present serv-
ice on this line is inadequate. He
said he had received numerous COM
plants that the busses now are SO
overcrowded in rush hours that many
persons are unable to board them.
The data gathered in the proposed
study, Roberts said, would prove of
value in planning a cross-town bus
service, which, he said, he hoped
would be ordered in the near future.
He believes such line should be es-
tablished prior to abandonment of the
P street car line.

leased on Bond After Deny

up this matter and see that the guilt
is placed on the proper persons, ="

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Decem.
Der 14.-Coincident with the inaug-
uration of slot-machine cleanup
campaign in Capitol Heights by the
county police yesterday, It became
known that efforts probably will be
made during the coming session oi
the Legislature to tighten the gaming
laws of the State.
Members of the Prince Georges
County delegation disclosed they are
studying plans to make mere pos
session of gambling apparatus a vio-
lation of law. This, according to law
enforcement officers, would aid mate
rally in apprehending violators.
At present, it is necessary for police
to play such devices as slot machines
or to actually apprehend persons TAX
ing money from them in order tt
make an arrest. If mere possession
of gambling paraphernalia were pro.
hibited, the officers believe they coulc
wage a more vigorous campaign

In addition to prohibiting posses.

for gambling law vioiators. Propo.
nsnts of this move say it is impos-
Sible to break up slot machine op.
erations and other forms of gam
bling as long as the offenders car
escape with S25 or $50 fines.
Members of the county delegation
considering these proposals said the!

the officers succeeded in capturing th'
machines and making the arrests, al
though some such action had been an
ticipated ever since former Mayor
George Finger challenged the legalit!
of recently enacted town ordinance
imposing a municipal license fee OF

Situation Watched.
Asked if such an ordinance wer'
illegal, States Attorney Alan Bowi'
declared:
"All I have to say is that no towr

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Full
time operation of radio station
WKBF at Indianapolis may be cur
tailed by the federal communlca-
tions commission, it was announced
today.
Recent change of frequency OF
WBAA at Purdue university made
the full time WKBF operation pos
sible, but that change now is chal-
lenged by WILL at Urbana, Ill.
So the commission has ordered the
Purdue frequency change suspended
and the matter will be set for hear
ing.
This puts the Purdue station back
on 140O kilocycles, the WKBF allo-
cation. Consequently the Indian
apolis station may have to be put
on part time, at least until the con-
fict is settled, it was stated.
WILL is operated by the University
of Illinois on a frequency of 80
kilocycles, which was to have been
the new Purdue assignment, leav-
ing WKBF with full time channel
clearance.
Two petitions for new stations at
indianapolis still are pending on the
communications commission docket.
One was filed by the Hoosier Broad
casting Company and the other by
L. M. Kennett. Both are for opera
ton on one kilowatt of power. Hoo
sier Broadcasting Company seeks
the old channel of station WIND
(Ciary) of 1860 kilocycles. The other
station wants an ALLEGATION Of 600
kilocycles.
Neither case has been set for
hearing.
Keith Johns, secretary of the In
diana Democratic state committee,
is interested in the Hoosier company
with the idea OF using it for Dem
ocratic political broadcasting, it
was said.
The commission today announced
that the Truth Publishing Com
pany, Elkhart, voluntarily had as
signed it's radio license to Truth
Radio Corporation, temporary hour
schedule had been set for the South
