UN.S0.-His mind, according to
police, "a complete blank" Nick
Lacamera. S6-year-old Fairmont
business man. today was unable
to explain what prompted him to
enter o hotel here last night and
pump revolver bullets into the
bodies Of three young women, two
of whom died Of their wounds.
One Near Death
Those slain were Mrs. Yandus
Dudley, 20, and Miss Mary Sue
Brown, 26. The third victim Of
the attack, Miss Margie Linnin,
was near death In Q hospital with
bullet wounds in her abdomen.
Lacamera was under arrest In
Marion county Jail. He was to be
arraigned before q police magis-
trate this afternoon and held for
the county grand jury, which
meets next week.
The mass shooting, Is recon
Structed by police from the
stories told by Miss Linnin and
witnesses in the hotel, occurred
when Lacamera rushed into the
hotel shouting imprecation against
those liars"
Apparently demented, the man,
heretofore known locally as q
sober worker Of good reputation,
flouriShed q revolver, dashed I'D
one flight Of stairs where he met
Mrs. Dudley, owner Of the eStab-
iShment. without q word Of
warning, it was said, he fired
two bullets point blank into her
body.
Repeats Staying
Then he met Miss Brown, who
rushed into the corridor at the
sound Of shots. and repeated the
procedure. His last two bullets
were sent into the body Of Miss
Lnnin.
Lacamera then threw down his
weapon, witnesses said. and
seemingly dazed, locked himself
in . room. where he was found
by police shortly afterward.

PRESS TO WAR
FOR FREEDOM
DESPITEF0ES

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
Is Q.N.S0.-The American press
will continue its unrelenting fight
for the preservation Of freedom of
the press and freedom of speech
regardless of the outcome Of the
national election, Jerome D. Bar
mum, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
declared today before the Institute
Of Public Affairs.
Barnum credited the nations
newspapers with playing major
part in restoring public confidence
during the depression, as well as
focusing renewed public interest
on governmental activities.
Calling a free press the fore
most guardian against dictatorship
and despotic government, Barnum
recalled that in 1888 a nine
months persistent battle had been
fought by the newspapers before
the. Washington Administration
agreed to the insertion in their
NRA code of a definite Stipula-
ton guaranteeing freedom Of the
press.
Fought Huey Long
He cited the successful battle
of 10 Louisiana newspapers to
defeat the efforts of the late
Senator Huey P. Long to punish
them by taxing advertising for
their opposition to his program,
his policies and his control of
the State. Mr.. Barnum asserted:
Freedom of the press is not
q right belonging exclusively
to publishers. Rather it is the
right of the public to have in
formation not subject to the
control of any particular politi-
cal or other group, whether
that information be in the
form of news or editorial COM
ment."
From the October day in 1888
when the economic crisis arrived
the American newspapers have
been faced with responsibility
just as portentious in its con-
sequences as any in the long his
tory of American journalism, he
said, adding:
"They have met this response
bility. Today we can say with
assurance that the daily press
has more power in the shaping
Of public opinion than any other
force in America"
AMERICANS NEVER KNEW
Because of the constitutional
guarantee, the average American
citizen never has fully realized
the meaning of free press, Mr..
Barnum continued, declaring the
public could not understand what
the people of many European
countries fully realized"
1t is to the everlasting credit of
the American publishers that they
fought for the publicS right to a
free press and lived up to the
full responsibility of their trustee
ship" Barnum said. He asserted:
Under a free press, the citizens
rights are guarded in such man.
ner that publications can go to
his defense on any issue and fight
militantly for justice by printing
both sides of a story and express
ing an opinion on the merits of
any issue. AS long as that right
exists, there can be no dictator
ship and no despotic government
in this country. Should that right
cease to be preserved by the vigil
ance of the American newspaper
publishers as trustees for the pub
lie, then individual rights of citi-
zenship can be sacrificed at the
will of those in power and repre-
sentative government lost, perhaps
for all time"

Heft Fans IL
In the interim, Heft struck out
II men. He gave up five hits and
was kept from allowing more by
the splendid fielding of Eddie Nc
Donough at third, who made two
"Ossie Bluege" stops, and George
Rowles at first, who uncorked a

Rip Carver did the pitching for
Eastern. Central took to his offer
ings with homers, too, besides
clusters of other hits for runs. An
gelo Valenza, little leadoff man,
banged the first circuit clout for
his team in the third. while George
Rowles connected in the fourth,
after Moran had singled.

BY GARRETT WATERS


When q team wins, it most al
ways looks good. Oftimes 1t
looks and plays even better when
it receives masterful pitching.
Well, sir, the Central High
School nine was that sort OF a
team yesterday at the Central
Stadium where the Eastern dia.
monders, 1885, champs, were de-
feated, 7-3.
Coach Rays crew could do
nothing wrong. Arnold Heft,
young southpaw making his first
start Of the series, pitched steady
ball: the infield, led by Eddie Nc
Donough at third, played bril-
nantly. and the outfield, with
Nick Mallus and Joe Moran 60
ing after 'em, took care of every.
thing within their reach.
It was quite a different Central
team than the combination that
took the field against western a
week or so ago. In that game,
the Mt. PleaSanters couldn't get
organized at all and as result
dropped a tough engagement.
Back In Fight
Today, Coach Rays charges are
back in the series fight and by
no uncertain terms. They're
right behind western for first
place with the chances ahead Of
overhauling the Georgetowners be-
fore the series comes to a close.
In contrast, Eastern is far down,
yesterdays loss being the teams
second in a. many games. The
ParkerS are definitely in the rut
now, since only the most unusual
turn of events can elevate them
aS championship contenders again.
But that game. Arnold Heft
realized an ambition Of several sea.
sons when he beat the Fasteners.
The youngster found his fond
hopes materializing each inning
as he moved down such fellows
like Bartoo, Taylor, Lamb, Kidwell

Vas ORIGINAL Transmitted Program

fer to it as the birthday Of speech
by wireless.
Prof. Reginal A. Fessenden, pioneer
in radio research, was the man behind
the scenes. For a transmitter he used
his newly-designed, high-frequency
alternator, an electro-mechanical de-
vice similar to an electric generator
but built to deliver the same type
of current that the vacuum tubes of
today produce. His microphone was
water cooled.
The output Of the machine was two
kilowatts. although only half of this
power was needed. The station was
that of the National Electrical Sig
mailing Co., of which Fessenden was
technical director. 1t had the call
letters 30"
Signals went out from an antenna
supported by 420-foot mast, long q
landmark at Brant Rock until it
crashed in later years.
There was q program, too-phono-
graph records, violin solo and even
q song by the professor. BY pre-
arrangement, wireless operators aboard
ships at sea were the professional
listeners. All reported clear signals;
few as far away as the West In
dies. The test was repeated New
Year eve.
That was only the beginning. Since
has come broadcasting, transatlantic

trical scrambling of the voice, and the

n YEW YORK, December 10
M Wireless telephony it was
called back in the days be-
a fore radio became q part Of
everyday vocabulary.
But the then developing new me
dunn for the transmission Of speech
would serve no useful purpose; just
q plaything of the inventors, the crit
ics lamented. Why, everybody could
hear what was being said. It wasn't
like the wire telephone.
Actually, though. as the years i'm
proved the gadgets which first put
speech into the air as an advance
ment over the wireless dots and dashes,
1t turned out that the non-Secrecy
limitation was opportunity knocking.
The fact that any one almost any
where might be listener to single
voice opened new realm. Today it
has become worldwide broadcasting,
an important development in radio
communication.
Still, 80 years ago, wireless speech
was something to talk about. 1t wasn't
accomplished with the modern-day
ease Of operation. Devices so crude
even the novice might wonder how
they did what they did were used.
