OUTLAW STATIONS
IN TEXAS ROUTEDI
End of Dalrymple's U. S. Service
Calls Attention to Successful
Campaign.

1t took nearly year, but Uncle Sam
has virtually wiped out all OUTLAW
radio stations in Texas, the State that
has caused the Federal Radio Com
mission the most trouble in its deter
mined effort to.prove that all broad
casting is interstate commerce in char
acter and thus exclusively under the
regulatory Jurisdiction of the Federal
Government.
This was made known last week
simultaneously with the announce
ment that Maj A v. Dalrymple, for
mer Federal prohibition director, who
has been acting as special assistant to
the Attorney General investigating
outlaw radio stations in the Southwest,
has ended his duties with the Depart
ment of Justice. Maj. Dalrymple has
spent much of his time in Texas pre-
pairing cases against the outlaw sta
tons in collaboration with Radio
Commission attorneys and Federal
district attorneys.
There were 100 to $50 illegal sta
tons in Texas at the peak, according
to commission attorneys. Eighteen
were prosecuted during the last year,
eight entering guilty pleas. six being
convicted and two acquitted. One case
was dismissed and another is pending
trial The rest, apparently discour-
aged by the example of the others,
have quit the field and the commission
has decided not to prosecute.
Although Mai. Dalrymple is no long
er on its force. Department of Justice
agents are still available to the COM
mission for other investigations and
prosecution. A conviction has been
obtained in Lawton, Okla, in which
the culprit was found guilty on six
counts and fined 81 on each. Two
weeks ago one Philip Room was ar
rested for operating an alleged outlaw
station in Brooklyn, N. Y. and he is
awaiting trial on $500 bond. Ben
Fisher, assistant general counsel of the
commission, this week was in Bangor,
Me, to secure an indictment against
an alleged outlaw station in Brooklin,
Me. Investigations of other illegal ra-
dio plants at Bath, N Y; Woodsville,
Ohio, and Malone, Wash, are still in
progress.
