IDEA BEHIND RADIO LAW IS IN CAMPAIGN Republican Congress Would Arrange Lengths. TO CLEAR ETHER Enabling Officials at Capitol to Broadcast. Special to Indiana Daily Tim's and Philadelphia Public Ledper. WASHINGTON, May 2.—Plans of officials of the Republican national committee to ne a powerful radio broadcasting set in the battle for control of the next Congress are somewhat Indefinite because of doubt about official availability of a special wave length that would enable wide transmission. A large radio manufacturing corporation, It was learned recently, offered the Republican committee a $25,000 set for tise of members of Congress who feel they will be kept from making spirited campaigns because of the session of Congress expected to last far Into the summer. The company. It was understood, offered the apparatus free In return for a tacit understanding the campaigners who wished to use it would purchase receiving sets for their constituents from the concern. CRT WENT UP BECAUSE OF NEW. Thus It was hoped to circumvent the recent order of Secretary Denhy against use of the naval radio for political purposes. Issued after a mighty cry had gone up from Democrats at the use of the Government wireless by Senator New

In talking to hl Indiana constituents. The G. O. P. chieftains considered the offer seriously, having a survey made of the roof of the Munsey building, where the national headquarters are located. Republican officials had no doubt they could secure a special wave length-' that would enable them to talk to mass meetings all over the country. Members of the Democratic National Committee, it was understood, felt sure Just as efficient wave lengths would have to be assigned them by whatever Government agency under a Republican Administration is given control of the badly croweded ether. Their plans, however, were tentative, as they had only an offer from a New York motion picture magnate, formerly connected with their film department, for cooperation with o big set ho planned Installing In New York. A depleted treasury, they felt would prohibit purchase of a set here unless the Republicans made such a success of the proposed venture as to force them to duplicate It. CONSIDERABLE INTERFERENCE. Difficulties beset the G. O. P. officials, however, It wag learned when they were informed that there would be considerable Interference by other broadcasting stations on any length than one which would permit them to transmit anly as far as Virginia, Maryland, sections of Pennslyvania end nearby districts. It was understood, though, that the Republican officials are considering awaiting expected passage by Congress of a law giving Secretary Hoover full powers to classify sending stations, assign wave lengths and times of sending. Such legislation is being framed and is expected to be Introduced simultaneously In both branches of Congress soon. Speedy passage is expected, proponents believing the necessity for rapid clearing up of the congested atmosphere la generally recognized in (he capital. It is expected the political chieftains will then state their cases to Secretary Hoover and ask for two special wave lengths, unless further difficulties present themselves to the path of plans for a heated aerial campaign.

DIVORCEE HELD FOR MURDER OF CHILD NEPHEW Chicago Police Believe Girl Attempted Suicide Because She Was Jilted. CHICAGO, May 2.—Miss Violet Black Duncan, pretty 19-year-old divorcee, was arrested today on charges of murdering her nephew, 2t£ years old. The boy, Hollis Poyd of Alton Park, Tenn., was found dead In bed with gas Jets turned on. Miss Duncan was lying beside him, unconscious, but was revived. Police believe Miss Duncan attempted suicide because she was Jilted by William Dubay, a wealthy Atlanta, Ga., business man. The girl came to Chicago a few months ago after obtaining a divorce from Walter Duncan, Chattanooga. The divorce was granted In Atlanta, where she met Dubay. Dunbay came to Chicago, and, seeing Miss Duncan In company with another man, notified her he could not carry out an agreement to marry. Later he went to her apartment on her summons and found the baby dead and the girl unconscious. Authorities were unable to explain the presence of the child with his aunt, and wired Alton Park officials to obtain Information from the boy's parents. Building Permits Mary L.

WASHINGTON, May 2.—Uncle Sam as the daddy of all the young people of romantic and marriageable age, will legislatively sit on elopments if Representative George P. Codd of Michigan has bis way. Codd, former mayor of Detroit and for more than tec. years a Circuit Court Judge in Michigan, has a resolution before the House Judiciary committee which wonild give Congress the right through a constitutional amendment to establish uniform laws on marriage and divorce. If he can get the resolution through Congress and secure ratification by twothirds of the States, Codd proposes to follow that up with a bill which would

require lovers to wait for a week or ten days after obtaining a license before they could wed. Besides allowing the parents of impulsive girls and boys a chance for peaeeful sleep In the spring and summer, Codd's bill, he contends, would cut down the number of ill-suited matches which wind up in the divorce courts. ‘ Romantic marriages” are called ‘‘hasty marriages” by Codd, who says that his experience on the bench has taught him that they are the cause for the majority of divorces. Codd wants to put a strict legal ban on “midnight sentimentality.” To help obtuiu tills his bill would carry a provision that only registered ministers, priests and rabbis could perform a wedding ceremony.
