HOUSE BLOCKED ON RADIO BILL : IN TIE RACE Oill Proposes New Plan to Break Deadlock Before Midnight. r" BY ray tucker WASHINGTON. March 15. Equalization of service rather than physical reallocation of stations has been proposed by Senator Dill as one way out of the chaos threatened through House revision of Dill’s radio measure by adoption of the Davis amendment. With the conferees scheduled to thresh out the radical differences in the two bills Friday, Dill has suggested that stations in less favored zones be given greater power and more favorable wave lengths. Davis Move Opposed As interpreted in the House, the Davis amendment would necessitate the actual transfer of stations from the vicinity of New York. Pittsburgh and Chicago to southern and western zones. Dill would change the language of the amendment to avoid difficulties predicted by radio experts, who say it would undermine the carefully erected structure of the nation’s radio system. For one thing, it is said it would mean junking or transferring at least twenty-seven established stations in the metropolitan area, which would be the chief sufferer. Meanwhile, Secretary Hoover plans to continue the commission as an appellate body pending adoption of the bill. The commission expires at midnight tonight, and there is no ■chance of passage before then. But the original law provided that afterj one year Hoover would become radio , czar, with the commission as an ad- ; visory and appeals court. Hoover Foes Balked Hoover’s political enemies, inch! dentally, have discovered that his. assumption of new radio authority may not embroil him in controversies and embarrass his presidential j candidacy, as they had hoped. In framing the radio bill last year, j Hoover’s foes were animated by the! fear it might give him too much j power over anew engine of pub- | licity. The bill was framed with a view to restricting his authority, and the job was done so thoroughly that the measure requires the appellate body to take jurisdiction over all matters that "give rise to conflicts.” DRINKS POISON: DIES Man Takes Potion at Bedside of Sick Wife.

BOOST GOM FRIDAY Ten Thousand Petitions Ask Business Close. Ten thousand signed cards, petitioning for the closing of all business and industrial interests from noon until 3 p. m. on Good Friday, which were distributed among the ch'irches of Indiafiapoiis have been returned to the Good Friday Interdenominational general committee, according to Dr. Ernest N. Evans, Indianapolis Church Federation secretary and member of the committee. “Approximately 50,000 cards were sent out and only a very few of the churches have reported thus far.

The majority of the churches are yet to be heard from,” said Dr. Evans at the close of the committee meeting at the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday. The Indianapolis Theatre Owners’ Association has pledged co-opera-tion to the Good Friday movement by agreeing to show in movie houses throughout the city the film now being made which will explain the meaning of Good Friday and show’ churches at which special services will be held on that day.

Construction of Tippecanoe Projects Removes Danger Engineers Say. Indiana has two major hydroelectric power dams, which together impound more water than was backed up behind the St. Frances dam when it collapsed, spreading death and destruction over a sixtymile path in California tliis week, but there is no danger of Hoosier cities sufferinf such a catastrophe. The two dams are the Oakdale and Norway power projects of the Indiana Hydro-Electric Power Company a few’ miles apart on the Tippecanoe River in the western part of the State. Larger Than St. Francis The California dam held back 38,000 acre feet or twelve billion gallons of water. The Norway dam impounds 17,000 acre feet of water in a lake ten miles long and from 500 feet to a quarter of a mile wide. The Oakdale dam walls up 25.000 acre feet of w’ater in a body ten miles long and from 1,000 feet to five-eights of a mile W’ide. Together they control 42,000 acre feet of water. The construction of the dams and the nature of the territory >in w’hich they are located, however, make a repetition of the California catastrophe. or anything remotely like it, impossible. F. A. Dale, hydro-electric engineer of the power company, with offices at 903 Wild Bank Bldgsaid. Oakdale 55 Feet High The Oakdale dam is fifty-five feet high and 1,500 feet long. The St. Frances dam was 185 feet high and 1,250 feet long, confining the enormous body of water in far deeper and narrower limits and thereby making it immeasurably more destructive, potentially, than the Indiana projects, Dale pointed out. The comparatively flat terrain in which the Indiana dams are built made it possible to build them far more safely than the California project. The Oakdale dam consists of the enormous concrete flood gates and pow’er plant, with long stretches of earthen ramparts on either side. Earth Around Concrete The earthen w’orks have a center wall of heavy concrete running deep into the earth to. prevent seepage and provide a backbone to resist pressure of the wafer. The flood gates are capable of releasing in a steady flow tw’ice as much flood water as ever has been recorded in the Tippecanoe River. The earthen w’alls taper from a width of 270 feet at the base to a few feet at the top. With such an enormous base, water pressure never could break down the wall, engineers say. To make doubly sure the power company keeps engineers and com petent inspectors constantly on the alert for seepage. Construction of the Norway dam is similar to the Oakdale.

BLAMES PAVING FOR TAXBOOST Brattain Answers Protests On High Valuations. Center Township Assessor Frank D. Brattain today declared the increase in assessed valuation in the district bounded by .Sherman Dr., Emerson Ave., Tenth and Sixteenth Sts., was ordered because of recent street improvements and added building activity in the neighborhood. Replying to the protest of Sher-man-Emerson Civic League which named a committee to investigate the increase, Brattain declared the increase "probably would not be one-third.” Civic league speakers were of the opinion the increase was 33 1 i per cent. Brattain said the increase would be about $516,000 on ground valuation. “The increase-only effects properties on improved streets and where lots have increased in value. Some of the streets have fifteen or more new houses which naturally increased the value of the property. “The recent paving of E. Tenth St. and opening of the elevation under the Belt railroad also have contributed to building up ot the neighborhood,” he asserted. The United States Government destroys 1,200 tons of worn out paper money each year.
