KFBB HEARING POSTPONED.
WHY :?

Under September datelne the Great Falls Tribune
last Saturday that the previous Friday Sep N
the Federal Communications Commission public hearing on the
transfer of radio station KFBB the ACs whoowned sub
da Farmont Corporation had been indefinitely continued
at the request of Fairmont officials
In requesting continuance, company attorneys, Wheeler
Wheeler stated they needed time file action petition
without hearing.
This leads the conclusion that ACMs Famont does not
wish the commission to learn the why Montana
czes do not feel it in the public interest for kfBB to be-
just another outlet for the kind of news
vided by the ACMs chain of daily Montana
The companys petition for transfer without hearing not
wthsandng the FEC should permit Anaconda to gain
control of this important Columbia station without all the facts
beng put INTO the record How otherwise can 1t be Determined
from farof Washington whether is the public interest,"
for KFBB to under control of forenowned
ton which only dominates mining publishing in Mon
but also makes its influence felt in timberng retail
chandsng and certainly the halls of the state legislature?
Why the insstence that full public hearing held by
FEC before that body hands down decision? Why should
there be much the proposed transfer?
Radio stations like newspapers suppers of public in
formation They recognized business enterprises
trusted with considerably greater responsibility toward the
public than ordinary proftmakng operations They the
principal means whereby the general public gain nforma
ton on issues OF the day Their purpose theoretically at least
not withhold facts from the public but operate the
wark'
Should KFBB fall into the ACM publication web there is
for believing that will not be programmed with the
good of the public mind reutabe evidence is at
hand showing that the company frequently gives the
silence cure stories major Importance to Mon
tana people.
The timely example this with FEC call
ing for public hearing the transfer KFBB Although the
hearing order issued the 9th day of August word
about the hearing appeared single daily publication Mon
two days prior the date originally September
a. AS noted above general public the seviced by
the Independent CT Tribune Saturday. Sept % did learn
there have been hearngbut-it had been called off
eight days previously Why the eigday lapse between Wash
ngton and Montana continues mystery unless there be
thing to the theory that the by carrier pigeon
partial check ACM daes in the state reveals that the
posponement of hearing item has appeared in their
columns Possibly the pigeon grounded bad weather
in Great Falls
Certainly there doubts whether the transfer of
KFBB to the ACM will be in the public interest These doubts
should be completely resolved by the FEC before transfer
license is approved. Only through fuscale hearing will
be able determine whether in the public interest
permit this transfer To this end is imperative that
Monanas congressional delegation insist FEC stand by

Relief Payments
To Be Increased
e.Apri| |
Rate Will Be Raised
From 81 to go Pct.
Of 80 Cost of Living

Persons on relief will receive ad-
ditional money for the three
month period beginning April l
the Department of Public Welfare
announced today.
The present rate is "a per cent
of the 1850 cost of living. This
will be raised on April l to 80 per
cent.
The reasons for the increase,
according to Gerard M. Shea, di-
rector of the department. are:
Fewer applications for assist
ance. probably due to the increase
q in defense work here. more cases
closed, the inability of the staff to
process applications as promptly
as expected, only one application
for assistance from the closing of
the day-care centers instead of
the so estimated and grand av-
erages lower than had been calcu-
lated.
During February. 1908 persons
were on relief, which was 243 be-
low the estimate. Total cost Of
these grants was $426.42 or $685.
Ill below the estimate.
The appropriation for the fiscal
year ending July l for assistance
grants is $2,555,272. Expendi-
lures through February for this
purpose amounted to $1,546 ,842,
leaving balance of $1.008,430 for
the remaining four months of the
fiscal year.

inson Let's ordered the stocky.
.impassive defendant committed
to Jail, pending sentence.
The charges against Revens
arose from complaints Of a for
mer Veterans Administration en-
gineer and his wife, a saleswoman
in a downtown department store.
Witnesses said Revens committed
the offenses in the course of what
was supposed to be cure for his
friends nervous disorders. The
friend is now an inmate of a New
York insane asylum.
Court Packed for 3 Days.
During the three-day trial, a
packed courtroom heard a fam
tastic story of this treatment,
which took place over a period OF
several months last summer.
Specifically, the jury found the
defendant guilty on counts OF
simple assault, assault with intent
to commit perverted sex acts and
attempting to commit and force
others to commit such acts.
He was acquitted of a fifth
charge of assault with intent to
force the commission of per-
verified act.
He faces a maximum sentence
of eight years and $4,000 in fines
on the four counts.
Another Trial Possible.
In addition to the charges on
which he was tried, Revens faces
possible trial on a second indict-
ment, charging him with other
sex violations bearing possible
sentence of 20 years. Assistant
United States Attorney Joseph
Sommer, who prosecuted the case,
said no decision has been reached
on the question of the second
indictment.
After the verdict, defense at
torneys announced they would
appeal the case on the ground
that the judges instructions to
the jury were inadequate and
that the conviction on several
counts was not supported by the
evidence.
The Government also is con-
sidering the possibility of filing
petition asking that Revens be
committed under the Districts
Sex Act as a sexual psychopath
Mr.. Sommer said. Such a pro-
cedure would require that the
defendant be examined by board
of psychiatrists and possibly COM
mitted to st. Elizabeth's Hospital
for treatment before serving his
sentence on the present convic-
ton.

County Bill Asks Ban
On All Mechanical
Amusement Devices
By q stoff Correspondent Of The star

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 23.-Legisla-
ton designed to drive all types Of
mechanical amusement" devices
from Prince Georges County is
before the Senate today.
The hard hitting proposal would
ban one-arm bandits, console.
claw, pinball and other types of
machines that could be used for
gambling.
Under its provisions, such de-
vices would be destroyed or con-
flscated and operators would be
subject to fines up to 500 for each
machine in their possession.
The bill may strike a paralyzing
blow at the high-powered slot ma
chine lobby which has waged a
losing campaign for legal slot
machines.
1t was introduced yesterday by
the county's Republican Senator
John r. Fletcher. after consulta-
tons with Prince Georges States
Attorney Carlyle J. Lancaster anc
Sheriff Carlton G. Beall.
Both officials" said Senate,
Fletcher, "are convinced that all
types of mechanical and or gam
bling devices" should be outlawed
or brought within the statutes.
"They have waged a strong fight
to end over-the-counter payoffs
on now legal console machines but
are unable to make a clean sweep
because they do not have enough
policemen"
Prince Georges legislators voted
5 to 2 Monday night against intro
duction of legalizing legislation.
Senator Fletcher cast one of the
negative votes.
The county's delegates now have
before them a proposal intended
to permit operation of slot ma
chimes in veterans clubhouses.
In another development, bill
which would have made minimum
one-year Jail sentences manda-
tory for f1rst-offense gambling
convictions was modified by the
House Judiciary Committee and
reported favorably.
The committee removed the
clause providing for mandatory
jail sentences but heightened pos
sible confinement from the pres
ent one-year maximum to five
years and raised possible fines
from $1,000 to $4,000.
