INCIDENT.

A WASHINGTON newspaper man
= is still wondering If he Is being
kidded by the Metropolitan Police
Department.
The scribe had attended a party
and got started home about 1870 in
the am. Several blocks from his upper
Connecticut avenue apartment, the
pavement started to weave and wave
IN billows before him probably
from the excessive heat. He decided
not to drive any further. Looking
out he saw police scout car coming
down the street.
Getting out of his car, he waved
to the car to stop. The driver tried
to dodge the weaving man in the
street, but finally our hero got the
scouters cornered against the curb.
After their captor had explained that
he did not feel so good and didn't
want to drive his car, the officers
took him home, one of them driving
the potential defendants automobile.
All the way to the apartment house,
the newsman insisted that the scout
car driver blow the siren and speed
up so he could get some sleep. He
made it. very plain that he had to
get up early, but he just couldn't re-
member what early was.
Our hero got to work at his usual
time downtown and at 7:30 am. the
officers called to see If he had made
it. He had to explain that he found
his car in the garage; that he had
on pajamas when he woke up to the
jangling of the alarm clock, which
had been set by the officers at 4
o'clock. He added that he had always
been noted for his criticism of that
particular precincts force.

that any actual merger between Republicans
and anti-New Deal Democrats can be accom-
plished at Cleveland Though the selection of a
Democrat for second place on the ticket has
been often mentioned, it has never been dis
cussed in working detail.
The choice for President now appears to have
narrowed to Landon. Knox and Vsndenberg, with
Landon's chances looking better every day.
When that business is out of the way the selec-
ton Of Vice President is in order There is no
indication that the delegates or party leaders
have any idea of going outside the party ranks
to find the man for that place. From the point

PLANE RADIO WAVE.
CHANGES opposed
Air Commerce Bureau Will
Fight for Private and Nom
Scheduled Bands.

An alleged attempt on the part of
the air transport industry to induce
the Federal Communications Commis-
sion to reassign to .he air transport
lines the radio wave lengths now set
aside for non-scheduled aircraft oper-
ators will be opposed by the Bureau Of
Air Commerce and the private and
non-scheduled transport flyers of the
country during the course Of hear
ings before the commission, begin
ming June Is.
The commission will be told, it is
understood, that to remove from non
scheduled operators the wave length
now assigned them would be serious
blow to development of non-scheduled
and private flying of the types the Bu-
reau of Air Commerce has been seek
ing to encourage.
The case Of the private and nom
scheduled flyers is to be presented by
James v. Piersol, aviation editor Of the
Detroit News. Piersol is pilot Of the
Detroit News plane, which is used in
radio development work.
The hearings, expected to continue
for 10 days, will cover the whole field
Of wave|length assignments and are
expected to be the most important of
the kind yet held.
They are described as informal en-
ginering hearings" Consideration is
to be given to the needs Of all radio
services, including aviation, police,
broadcasting, marine and other serv-
ices. The entire picture of modern
radio operation will be reviewed and
an attempt will be made to lay out
system of wave-length assignments
which will provide not only for present
needs but for those Of the future.
One Of the important new fields to
be considered will be that of ultra
high-frequency broadcasting in the
ranges above 10000 kilocycles.
Scores of witnesses already have
asked to be heard. They will repre-
sent every phase of radio operation on
the land, in the air and at sea. No
tices of intention to appear before the
commission in connection with the
hearings must be filed on or before

CHRIsTENDOM LOOKS TO THE CROSS

Throughout Christendom tomorrow, the peoples of the world look to the of salvation. With prayer and music they herald again the greatest event of all time the rolling away of the stone from the sepuchre and the Resurrection The anthem rings out He Arose. In Juneau churches as throughout the world where the message of Jesus Christ has penetrated, the followers will gather in worship And it is well that have not forgotten. So long human kind retains humility and bows in application before Higher Being and His teach ngs, the future of humanity is insured
 For 2Oo0 years the story has been retod and today it lives in the hearts of and women with the same supreme power of ministration as when the tragedy of Gethsemane enacted at the Mount of Olives.
 It is Easter, the advent of the spring time; the beginning of new life In the field the bud breaks forth in fragrance and in the breasts of humanity there dwell eternal hope The scoffers are reegaed to significance and the fear that rises from time to time that drifting away from the teachings of him who died that salvation might endure is queted.
 Through the years there have been the fearful who decried frates and vsioned swing toward oblivion but again there voices are dimmed in the preparation of the multtudes for another Easter

An Ancient Error.
Cincinnati Enquirer)

One of the sorry facts of contemporary American life is the increasing conviction among great num- bers of persons that the government owes them a living This is very different from the determination government the instrument for social change, for making it active agency in reshapng so- cety That is natural tendency, which grows with the development of close-knit economic system But all too often, men come to expect that government should have mysterious power to solve their prob lems for them.
 AS a matter of fact this is not something new in American life The history of the protective tariff is the record of intelligent planning of foreign homie relations, but of multitude of business enter prises demanding that government simplify for them the task of making profits The early construction of railways set the precedent for subsidizing nfluen tal groups For many years in the last century the navy took it upon itself to open up foreign markets in the Pacific.
 The attitude of great multitude of Americans was formed the basis of these direct aids extended by government The prevailing opinion very clearly set forth in a popular song that had wide currency in an earlier generation: "Our Uncle Sam is rich enough to give each farm The modern equivalent of this popular illusion is to be found in the Townsend movement.

 It is not unreasonable that the government should take functions from time to time. But this is very different from expecting it to shoulder the burdens of the citizens. It is time Americans were learning lesson they should have learned many gen. erations ago and did not-that government give demanding groups of its people only what it takes away from others.
