Line 1912
PhiIco Radios

Priority deliveries of the new 1912
models of Philco radios and radio
phonograph combinations are on
display in the greatest assembly of
radios ever shown in Nogales, all
made possible by the foresight and
initiative of the R. G. Edgell Com
pany in placing large volume orders
months ago for priority delivery in
Nog'ales.
The merchandising policy of this
company has made possible the
complete line showing in Nogales be-
fore other dealers could show any
thing but pre-convention models of
radios and the Philco line now on
display at this store represents the
only complete line of 1912 model
radios in Nogales at this time said
R. c. Edgell.
Outstanding features in the 1912
line is evidenced by the new cabinet
styling with many models carrying
the new FIN Frequency Modula-
ticn) noise free radio assemblies,
with separate built-in aerial systems
for standard broadcast, short wave
and FIN reception.
Phonograph models are outstand-
ing in the industry with the i'm
proved beam-of light-pickup, plus
perfect pitch and tempo control to-
gether with variable speed to play
either the standard 79 revolutions
per minute records or the double
length records which play at only 80
revolutions per minute.
For home recordings perfection
has been attained with a natural
ness of tone that is nowhere else
obtainable, with eight minute re-
cord1ngs possible instead of the
usual three minute recordings.

Court 10 Admit Briefs
In Fight on Legal
Residence Of Curran
Ex-CIerk Says Attorneys
Voting in Maine Voids
Forgery Indictment

Justice r. Dickinson Let's agreed
in District Court today to permit
opposing counsel to submit written
briefs regarding the legal right of
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran to hold the post of District
attorney here, in the face of the
contention that he is voter in
Maine. The jurist will take the case
under advisement after the briefs
are submitted next week.
The question had been brought
to the fore by Attorney James J..
Laughlin, representing Joseph r.
Burko, former clerk to Police Court
Judge Hobart Newman. Mr.. Burko
has been indicted on charges of
conspiracy to obstruct and corrupt
justice and misconduct in Office,
forgery, larceny and embezzlement.
His contention is that the indict-
ments against him are invalid, be-
cause Mr.. Curran is not legally dis
trict attorney here, inasmuch as
he has voted in his native Maine.
Addressing Justice Let's this
morning, Mr.. Laughlin said he was
seeking certain records from Maine
to substantiate his contention and
should have opportunity to present
everything in support of his plea.
Assistant United States Attorney
Allen j. Krouse, representing the
district attorney, declared this is a
question of law and not of fact in
asmuch as the Government has filed
demurrer to Mr.. Laughlins plea
in abatement attacking the validity
of the indictments.
On behalf of United States At
torney Curran, it was said that he is
a valid and bona fide District of
Columbia resident, that he is In fact
district attorney and that the courts
have held that it is not necessary for
the district attorney to sign indict-
ments to have them valid, so long as
they are signed by the foreman of
the grand jury-as an indictment is
the action of that body and not of
the prosecutor.

8 TO DISTRICT

The propos constitutional
amendment would prevent any
district from having more than
three members. But the intent is
that the board of supervisors
should divide Detroit into indi-
Vidtiai districts.
At the request of Rep. George
n. Higgins of Ferndale. the COM
mlttee added a provision that the
Legislature shall be increased to
102 seats and that the two new
members should be allotted 10
Oakland County, inasnuch as it
is now the second county in popu-
=iatIon. 1t has only two members
at present while Kent County with
fewer voters has FIVE.
However, many members are
loath TO involve the redistricting
plan in reapportionment fight
and this amendment may not be
retained.
Rep. John J. Poleskie D), only
Detroit member OF the committee.
last night proposed increasing the
House membership 10 Ito by Civ
ing Detroit eight new seats and
Oakland two.
This amendment was vot e d
down. although Republicans last
week claimed they had offered this
compromise 10 allay opposition by
Detroit Democrats.
Rep. William G. Buckley (D),
chairman Of the Wayne delegation.
said today he will offer an amend
nent increasing the House men,
bership TO 125. with a stipulation
that Is of the new seats go to
Detroit.
