goes on. Each new phase and dis
covery leads to yet another. and only
time can tell the ultimate.
A SITE for sale. Nothing unusual
about that. Just bit OF Eng
lish soil-Poldhu-bu what a wealth
Of magic lore and interest that name
recalls to the scientists the world over.
Poldhu, the birthplace OF trans-At-
lantic wireless communication, but
soon to De just name, after years Of
faithful service in peace and war. On
the rocky cliffs at the southwest tip of
England the tiny station was built
with the hope and prayer that an an
ticipated miracle would occur. It did.
for on December IL, 1901, under the
direction of Gugielmo Marconi, the
code letter 50 was sent into space
over the Atlantic Ocean and was re-
ceived by Marconi at st. Johns, New
foundland, by means of kite about
400 feet in the air.
The aerial alton erected at Poldhu
met with the usual disasters and set
backs OF pioneer inventions. The first
aerial. supported by ring Of 20 masts
200 feet high, the entire structure
covering an acre Of ground was COM
pleted in August, 1901, but before it
could be put into use it was wrecked
by gale that swept the English coast.
A very much simpler system was
devised, consisting of so copper wires
suspended from triatic slung between
two masts ITO feet in height, the wires
eonverging at the bottom and forming
gigantic fan. Though the second at
tempt was In the nature Of a make
shift the message received from Pold-
hu, England by Guglielmo Marconi at
Signal Hill. Newfoundland, conclu-
sively demonstrated the workability OF
worldwide wireless communication
and IN February of the following wear,
1902, Marconi received signals from
Poldhu on board the steamer Philadel-
phis at distance of 1000 miles, prov
ing that ship at sea was no longer
an isolated entity.
Some Of the first commercial wire
less messages to ships at sea were
transmitted through the Poldhu sta
ton, which for some years transmitted
the long distance, ship-t shore traffic,
including private messages and news,
starting its program with the famous
co" signal, which means, "All sta
eons, attention"
pOLDHU became a permanent sta
tion for transatlantic communt-
cation with Cape Cod. Mass, and
Cape Briton, Nova Scotia, communi-
cations with the United States being
inaugurated by messages exchanged
between King Edward VII and Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt.
The brief message broadcast from
Poldhu on its rocky Cornish cliffs to
the bleak Atlantic Coast" of America
was the harbinger of the great in
ternational radio conferences, con-
crosses, conventions, protocols and
treaties governing its regulation today.
The very first of the conferences, held
within two years from the sending of
the Poldhu wireless message, was the
result of what has been termed the

WHEAT STAGES
SLIGHT RALLY

CHICAGO, June 4 G.N.SJ.
Wheat futures rallied to slightly
above the preceding finish in early
trading today after yielding more
than cent to a new low on the
movement at the opening.
July dropped to $1.08A and the
deferred months moved down to
$1.07A and $1.095s for September
and December respectively, before
commission house buying rallied
the market. December wheat, corn
and oats made new lows for the
season.
Weakness in foreign markets
and bearish weather reports in
the domestic wheat belt were de-
pressing factors.
Near mid-session wheat was 70

purposes and legal objections to Congress, and
that Congress in passing the bill, accepted his
ideas!
1t is hopeful symptom, however, that the
consttutionalty of the new bill to allow the
Federal Government to regulate wages and
hours is being discussed The tactics of the
Administration in attempting to try the con-
stitutionality of the bill before Congress and
the public may not be in good taste, but they
show that the Supreme Court is still to be
reckoned with as an independent force.
That is about all one can say by way Of
favorable comment on Attorney Jackson's
The Washington times., 1937-06-04


In the first place. about threeourths of attorneys time
spent in arguing dummy issue, namely "chld labor"
can imagine more obvious proof that the argument
insncere than the way in which the Child labor DOGGY
dragged in and waved about.
This child labor issue has occupied much the position
in the Administrations attempts establish NRA setup that
the plea of emergency has its maintenance Works
Nobody denies that general "chld labor bad thing
Nobody denies that should be abolished n fact but
short time ago that rumphanty by radio
that great victory had been and that Child labor had
been abolishedD
But the thing hobs up again. entering wedge
for the scheme regulate all wages and hours such regulation
be carried by Federal board appointed President
In fact the Attorney Generals assistant actually urged Congress
to the whole bill just chaenge old decision against
child labor law!
The thing obvious that already the proposal has been
made separate the chd labor red herring from the real
purpose bill That exactly what should be done Then
Congress could quickly abolish child labor (agan and leave
adults reasonably free in their economic lives
There two very different kinds of
with individual freedom One kind Of interference deals with
lust such matters as the labor of little children It includes
aderaon and msbrandg food and drugs transportation
OF women for immoral purposes kidnapping sale of diseased live
stock ETC.
of epidemic disease No denies that they destroy
public health morals Federal regulation of interstate COM
merce IN these cases is not in dispute.
But the other kind of interference
choices matters that purely economies They include price
fixing, wage fixing control over crops, etc.
There relation in principle between the prohib
ton of chd labor and the fixing of wages for adult male
labor than there is between prostitution and marriage
If young Mr.. Jackson does not know this he is Unqualified
for his position. If he does, what of his sincerity.
is little wonder that the Administration resorts to such
tactics The that this socaled wages and hours
bill contains the seeds of the most arung and drastic
troll business and industry that has been proposed since
the NRA overthrown.
Back of all the bunk about chd labor" there stands the
provision for Labor Standards Board This board would
be given powers unheard Of outside of monoposc industries
except in such nations Germany It could fxe and
that that could fix prices and profits we'll To these
ends could understand it, control accounting methods
etc.
Mr. Jackson, for the Administration took pains argue
that the bill is not another NRA What to
know the to these two question: ID If this be
not the bill by which the President announced that he in
tended to reesabsh the main part of the NRA that
bill? ~ What could General johnson his Blue Eagle
do that the charman of this Labor Standard Board
can't do?
In conclusion, want to ask, Why is it that of the
usual safeguards against domination of the board by the
President and his party to be found in the bill?

STORIES DIFFERED

Police previously had quoted Mrs.
Evans variously as saying White
shot himself and that she was
forced to shoot him in self-defenSe
as he brandished a heavy military
rifle.
Police have found no one who
heard q shot prior to the discovery
Of Whites unconscious form. A
strange twist to the tragedy is the
positive declaration to police by
neighbors that a shot was heard
after it had been established
White was gravely wounded.
Consi derably agitated, Mrs.
Evans told Sergt. William Murphy,
who led the first detail of police
to arrive, that she had shot White
after he had become increasingly
threatening, finally advancing to-
ward her with the rifle.
Detective Sergeant Henry M.
Jet, however, who arrived later,
said the girl Sobbed at first that
White had shot himself. She
changed her narrative later, said
Jet, declaring she had been forced
to fire at White in Self-defense.
Both Sergeants Murphy and
Jet, however, said she repeatedly
cried:

and Mrs. Joseph Cash, who live
in the apartment beneath the flat
at 642 Eleventh st. N. E.
Mrs. Cash told a Times reporter
today that she had heard White
and his pretty sweetheart begin
pickering about midnight. AS the
night wore on the quarrel grew
louder and more heated.
About two hours after the quar-
rel began, Mrs. Cash said, the
girl began to scream in the narrow
hallway outside the White apart
ment.
She and Mr.. Cash rushed into
the hall, fearing the girl had been
harmed, they said.
BLOOD ON ARMS
The girl stood there, her
bare arms stretched out and drip
ping blood. She moaned and
screamed inarticulately and the
blood dripped onto her already
red-splotched blue petticoat.
She and her husband dashed
into the White apartment, said
Mrs. Cash, and found White, clad
in his underwear, Slumped at the
foot of the bed, his head in q
pool of blood.
A heavy caliber military rifle

National GuarO was laying across
the mans ankles. He was alive,
but unconscious.
The girl darted franticaIly
around the room, said Mrs. Cash,
crying:
"Tubby! Honey! Oh. I love
you'll"
Mrs. Cash said she went back
to her apartment and her husband
started for the Ninth Precinct
