Kane In Fist Fioht
After Reelection
AS Woburn Mayor

BY the Associated Press.
WOBURN, Mass, Nov. 15.-specu-
lation whether Mayor william E.
Economy Kane of Woburn would
seek new and wider fields to con-
quer arose today as the fiery ex-
marine celebrated reelection to his
second two-year mayoralty term BY
nursing black eye and a lump on
the jaw.
Some political observers expressed
belief that Mr.. Kane, whose first
term municipal economy efforts In
cluded orders to extinguish street
lights on moonlit nights and to re-
move beds from firehouses, might
run for lieutenant governor OF
Massachusetts, in 1910.
The Mayor, a teetotaler who once
sought to have the city's inebriates
paraded In a lions cage, gave an
added flllip to yesterdays election
by engaging in fisticuffs with a
tavern proprietor, James McCarron,
80. Mr.. Kane charged that the
tavern owner was keeping his place
open on election day in violation of
the law and got marked up when
the tavern man disagreed. Neither
would file charges against the other.
Mr.. Kane lost the Democratic
nomination to his opponent, 29-year-
old Henry M. Leen, several weeks
ago but ran and won as a Repub-
lican by an unofI1cial count of $3.50
votes to 4,093, despite the fact that
he nominally is a Democrat ana
Woburn usually Democratic city.
Another widely known figure, An
drew j. "Bossy" Gillis, hit the come
back trail by winning one Of the
two non-partisan nominations for
mayor in Newburyport, Mass. The
other nominee, who topped Mr.. Gillis
by 2,483 votes to 1895 yesterday. was
Mayor James F. Carens, jr., who won
over the former mayor two years
ago.
In Northampton Attorney Ken
meth H. Hemenway, once a law
student in the Office of President
Calvin Coolidge, defeated Mayor
William H. Feiker for the Repub-
lican mayoralty nomination. Mr..
Feiker engaged earlier this year in
an exchange with Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt after attempting to bar
married women from municipal
jobs.
Mr.. Hemenway, whose father was
a law partner of Mr.. Coolidge,

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 15.-
Television networks may be nothing
more than water pipes, Kenneth
Jarvis, consulting engineer Of VIM
netka, ILL.,, told members Of the In.
stitute of Radio Engineers and the
Radio Manufacturers Association at
their fall meeting.
Experiments with q mile-long pipe,
three-quarters Of an inch in diam
eter and filled with water have
proved 1t to be more efficient than
a telephone line for transmission,
Mr.. Jarvis said.
"A way has been found of keeping
the electrical waves within the pipe
which can be bent to 60 around
corners or over hills" he explained.
THE system is much cheaper than
the coaxial cable which is the only
system Of network transmission now
available"

Penalized for Discrimination
Against Negro Workers

by five workers that subcOntractors
had refused them employment or
had dismissed them shortly after
they were hired on the grounds
that race workers could not work
on the project.
The penalty was imposed under
a provision of "Terms and Condi-

paragraph y, which is a part of
the financial agreement un d e r
which the PWA grant is made.
This paragraph requires that ex-

five race workers were furnished
by the union to the ubcontractors,
as is required on union jobs.

declared. II have never even dis
cussed the Congress organization
with NOVEL;. He had no more to do
with the National Congress than
Charlie Mccarthy or Donald Duck.
"And even more significant than
my denial of his statement is the
fact that NOVEL; - although he
claims to have been a guiding brain
in forming the Congress-has never
held an office in the Congress
either locally or nationally; has
never served on any Congress Com

"Nowells statement is a lie made
out Of whole cloth. The Dies Com

character assassination Of individ-
uals and organizations is engaging
in a disservice to the American
people. I am ready and willing to
appear before this committee at
any time it desires"
