Chain broadcasting Of plays and
events by television is from 5 to 10
years away, although technically the
broadcasting of television is solved,
Lenox r. Lohr, president of the
National Broadcasting Co., today
told the Federal Communications
Commission Committee investigat-
ing alleged monopoly in chain broad
casting.
Television is temporarily stopped,
he said, because Of the lack of neces-
sary wire equipment. He estimated
1t would take 100000, 900 at present
rates to build line across the
country which would carry all the
frequencies necessary for television
broadcasting.
Tremendous Cost Problems.
There are tremendous cost prob
lens facing the broadcast companies
in solving television entertainment,
he said. He added that when the
National Broadcasting Co. goes on

It seemed that Linda had scarcely
gone to sleep-so restless and fitful
was the night she spent-when she
was awakened by the telephone. Sleep
lily, she noted that the time was few
minutes after 5 A. M.
AS great as was her surprise that
someone should be phoning her at that
hour, it was even greater when she
learned the identity Of the caller.
"Mrs. Morton" the voice on the
other end said, "this is John Blaine,
Jr-Bill's brother"
eyes," Linda said, now wide a.
wake.
"It's it's Janice" he said. "Can
you come down right away-to Titan
Tower? I'm in my office"
That was all. He didn't tell Linda
what had happened. But Linda had
presentiment of something terrible.
AS she sped downtown in taxi,
Linda, staring from the cab window,
saw black newspaper headlines on the
corner stands. But she didn't read
them. They were just words, black
blur. Her mind was busy with the
awful though of what might have hap
pened to Janice. Her thoughts sped
back to that first tragedy of the tow
er, the workman pinioned in the ele-
vator machinery. Janice injured some
way-badly hurt or kill ..
Linda couldn't bring herself to fin
ish the word.
Had she read the headlines, however
she could have seen her sentence fin
ished for her.
BEAUTY KILLED BY
HIT-RUN DRIVER
That was what the headlines scream
ed.
There was nothing in the story chad
Linda seen it) to explain how Janice,
blinded by tears, had dashed out of
the entrance to Titan Tower, her one
objective the two dark men who wait
ed at the car across the street still
on their watch. There was ample
description Of how the hit-run car,
with it's screening Of brakes, had
struck the girl as she reached the car
tracks, had dragged her twenty yards
before speeding away to disappear a.
round a corner.
But nothing to tell WHY a girl who,
a few moments before, had willed to
live with every fiber Of strength in
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-10-27

her being, had met now death she
didn't seek ..
When Linda dashed, breathless, in
to the young attorneys office she
found Mr.. Blaine-"Mr. Avon" Blaine
there ahead Of her. It was he who
broke the news.
"Janice :" Linda cried. "Where
is she? Tell me-what's happened ~
Mr.. Blaine took her in his arms,
sought to comfort and quiet her.
"Linda, child" he said. "Be good
soldier. It's a terrible shock-but you
might as well take it all in one dose,
Janice is dead, Linda"
"DEAD?" Linda pushed herself
clear Of his arms and stood there star
ing at him, shock and disbelief in her
face.
"Kil1ed," he said quietly, "by hit
run driver as she left the building
early this morning."
ooh, no." she said dazedly. ":Not
Jan! NOT JAM"
It was at this moment that 10 Mon
roe, notified by the coroner's office,
burst tearfully into the room. She
and Linda flung themselves into each
others arms.
IF Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Morton
were puzzled over the unheralded Wis.,
it to their hotel suite by John Ralston
Blaine, neither showed it.. They were
the personification of gracious cor
diality as Jack Blaine, nervous and
strained, presented his father to his
prominent clients.
"Mr. Norton" Jack had started
bluntly, and his eyes were bloodshot,
his voice tight, "I'll have to ask you to
let me withdraw from this case ;"
"Here, here, son." his father inter-
rupted, suppose you let me handle
this. Maybe I can speak Mr.. Nor
toms language :"
Mr.. Blaine's own amiable ease was
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-10-27

something to match the Morton a.
plomb at it's best.
"Mr. Norton" he began, "Mrs.
Morton"-with a gracious bow toward
her-"you have come out here to gain
legal custody of your grandson, to
take him away from a girl about
whom you know little or nothing. My
son has been retained to act for you.
With your permission, I'd like to tell
you something about this girl-about
your grandson and his mother-that
neither Of you could possibly know"
Then he told theln-everthing. And
Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Morton Of Chi
cago listened to what he had to say.
/ II am not threatening you or at
tempting to tell you what to do, Mr..
Norton" Blaine concluded. "I'm sim
ply stating this: That every cent I
have, that every resource I can COM
mand will back up Linda to see that
her boy is not taken from her by you
or anyone else.
eff you had hunted the world over
and hand-picked each candidate your
self, you couldn't have found a finer
wife for your son than Linda Morton,
and if you were half good enough to
deserve her for a daughter-in-law you
could put your souls at peace.
"I had thought once that she was
going to be my daughter-in-law-and
it's my great loss that she isn't. But
as long as J. r. Blaine has a dime
or an ounce of fight you're not going
to get her baby"
When the Blaines, senior and jun
ior, left the Mortons' suite minutes
later, they carried with them a sign
ed document insuring that the custody
fight was abandoned; that there would
be no further move from the Bradley
Mortons to obtain guardianship of the
grandson they had never seen-the
son of their son and the wife they
once didn't care to know.

AS q result OF their selections In
the annual college draft by profess
sional football teams last month
the Washington Redskins and
Cleveland Rams tomorrow will note
the performances of more potential
1889 rockies in the country's five
major bowl games than any of their
colleagues in the National League.
Altogether q of the gridmen on
squads which will play in the Rose,
Sugar, Orange, Cotton and Sun Bowls
will be rendered contracts by nine
of the National Leagues 10 teams
before next fall. Only the Chicago
Bears will be unrepresented by at
least one player in the makeup of
the 10 teams scheduled to play the
post-season classics.
The Redskins and Rams each will
be represented by five graduating
gridmen, the Brooklyn Dodgers by
four, the Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh
Pirates and Chicago Cardinals by
three, the Philadelphia Eagles by
two, and the New York Giants and
Green Bay Packers by one.
But while the Redskins draftees
will be confined to the Rose and
Sugar Bowls, the Dodgers, Pirates

on three bowl games if they would
follow the performances of 1899
prospects in their last stands as COL
legians.

letter, naval officers, merchant tars,

cation and the like would be con-
sidered professionals if they par
ticipated in racing.

posed: mo person who has accepted
