David Sarnoff, president of the
Radio Corporation of America.
Whereas all past attention to this
visual radio art has been directed to
its potentiol value as a medium of
public entertainment, to supplement

Today it is technically possible to

Ultimate in picture transmission would
be television, Sarnoff believes, which
is not restricted to purely still

Legendary Hero
OF North Woods
Is Being Feted
Three Day Celebration
Keeps Alive Traditions
of Paul Bunyar

BRAINERD. Mimi, July Is
CUP)-Paul Bunyan, W h e
North Woods fame in song and
story has made him America S
greatest legendary figure, will be
| feted in a three-day celebration
opening here today.
Fr~m all sections of the north
west followers of Paul Bunyan's
tales will come to see his canoni-
cation as the patron saint of Min
nesota's forest and lakes.
For months Brainerd and sur
rounding communities have been
preparing for the event. Business
men of the region haven't shaved
since the first of April and now
have long, flowing boards of the
true Paul Bunyan type.
Nearly everyone knows the
story of Paul Bunyan, the Hercu-
lean lumber jack of old, who was
born in the winter of the blue
snow with the assistance Of five
storks working overtime. This and
other tales of Paul Bunyan's
prowess will be told in a pretcn-
tious nightly pageant during the
celebration.
PauPs life, as sketched by
countless legions of Jacks around
the bunkhouses Of pioneering lum-
Der camps, is a mighty tale to
hear. Nothing can rival it, for
Paul was even bigger than the
great spruces and Norway pines
that beautify. the shores of Min
, nesota's 10000 lakes.
After his memorable birth,
Faul grew so fast that by the
end of the first week he was wear
ing his fathers clothes and eat
ing at the table. When he went
to school they made a slate for
I him from a slab of limestone
cleaved from a hillside and pro-
vided a great white pine from
the Chippewa forest for a pencil.
But Paul had trouble in school.
When he wrote the numerals /,
2, 3, and so forth on his slate, the
figures were so tall the teachers
could see nothing but a straight
line. This provoked Paul so he
turned to logging.
It was about this time that he
met Johnny Inkslinger. Johnny
was almost as tall as Paul and
carried Is pencils behind his ear.
He was Pauls man Friday and
kept the records of logging oper-
atoms. Johnny innovated the eff
ficient system of not dOtting the
ops" and not crossing the "t's",
thus saving nine barrels of ink
on single payroll.
Paul's inseparable companion
was Babe, the blue OK. Babe was
so big that he measured seven ak
handles across the eyes. He was
so strong he could drag whole

Witness Says Rules Obey
ed But Admits That
They Were Inhumane

CHARLOTTE, July 10. (UP)
Indications were today that trial
of a former Mecklenburg county
prison camp "bosS," a camp ply
stefan and a guard charged with
cruelty to convicts would go to
the jury FRIDAY.
The defense planned to present
today it's final witnesses--doctors
who attended two negro prison
ers last spring and amputatcd
their feet. -.
Contention Of the defense is
that the negroes, Robert Barnes
and Woodrow Shropshire, caused
their feet to become infected by
tying cords around their ankles,
cutting off blood circulation.
The negroes insisted their feet
"froze" in solitary confinement
cells at the camp last January and
that the defendants denied them
proper care and treatment.
DR.. C. S. Mclaughlin, former
camp physician and one of the
defendants, testified yesterday
that the prisoners were treated
according to regulations. Henry
C. Little, another defendant, and
former camp superintendent. de-
MED that he, DR.. Mclaughlin, or
the third defendant, former guard
r. C. Rape, was responsible for
conditions which led to amputa-
ton of the convicts' feet.
Little said he followed prison
rules, which arc "inhumane and
should not be in effect" in pun
ishing the negroes. -.
The former camp boss, who
was discharged as an aftermath
of the amputationS last March,
said he personally cut away blan-
ket strings imbedded in flesh of
the prisoners ankles.

testified for the defense yester-
day,

LOS ANGELES, July IS. (UP)
An interstate "crime patrol
was urged before the American
Bar association last night as the
only method by which the ma
tons police forces can "keep
pace with modern, organized
armies of criminals
Packed in hot, stuffy theatre,
the second general session of the
58th annual convention of the
association heard Earl Warren,
tall, angular district attorney
from Oakland. Cal, and nation
lilly known advocate Of centraliz-
ed police forces, warn that "un-
less we take a str;ilglehold on
crime. crime will take st1angle-
hold on u.s."
The session concentrated al
most its whole attention on the
crime problem, proposing four
point program which involved:
/. More vigorous law enforce
ment through police, courts, and
parole systems. ...
2. Capitalization of law en-
forcement in states under federal
control. ,....
3. Continuance of the present
system with certain improve

Pauls life was not without lro-
nance. He married Pauline, the
biggest girl in the woods. 1t was
Pauline who kept Paul from

morning a mountainous stack of
pancakes, fried on griddle a
mile long. The griddle was ereas-

across it with hams tied to their
feet. .... .
