APPROVES BAN ON RED LIGHTS ON AMBULANCES Undertaker Says Reckless Speed Never Saved Life. Dr. Williarh A. Doeppers, city hospital superintendent, today received a letter from Clifford G. Askin of Royster and Askin, undertakers, 1902 N. Meridian St.', complimenting his stand on use of sirens and red lights on private ambulances. The safety board issued an order prohibiting private ambulances from using red lights and sirens, in accordance with the State motor law. Askin said in his twenty-five years as an undertaker he did not recall a single instance where a life had been saved by driving an ambulance at reckless speed. “On the other hand a number of lives have been lost by reckless driving. Private ambulances should operate quietly and attract as little attention as possible except in cases of extreme emergency,” Askin said.

RADIO SHAKE-UP MAY ELIMINATE 135 STATIONS Five Equal Zoning Plan of Congress Stormed by Protests. BY LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, April 9.—Federal radio commissioners today are struggling with what they predict will be the biggest radio shakeup Federal regulation. Stations will be driven from the air, time will be curtailed, wavebands, frequency and power will be changed and the entire broadcasting arrangement reorganized in an effort to execute specific instructions of Congress which require an equal distribution of station to the five radio zones of the United States and “an equitable distribution of service to the states.” Under the new plan radio engineers have advised the commission there can be only 550 stations throughout the nation, as against 685 now on the air. This will provide 110 stations, for example, in the populous second zone of Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky and a similar number in the less populous fifth zone embracing Colorado, California, Utah, New Mexico. Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona. Washington, Oregon, Hawaii and Alaska. In all zones but 270 stations can broadcast simultaneously without causing interference, the engineers have concluded. This will mean that the number of full-time stations will be greatly restricted.

M, Ogden, gave its sixth annual sunrise Easter carol service at 6:30 a. m. on the north steps of the Soldiers ’and Sgilors’ Monument, Flowers, donated by Bertermann Brothers, were carried by the choristers and later donated to the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for crippled children.

It had been played at the sunrise service by Miss Carol Mayborn and presented to the choir for the hospital by Miss Mary Jo Rcss. More than 200 Easter baskets were received at the hospital, 15Q being donated by Daughters of the Nile.

New Trial Plea to Test Sanity Defense Statute

Law of Testimony of Alienists Defended by Prosecutors. Test of the State law governing pleas of insanity in criminal cases, and examination of the accused by disinterested physicians appointed by the court, is seen in a Marion County case pending in Hancock Circuit Court at Greenfield. Indiana has one of the wisest laws of any State regarding examinations of the accused, according to Deputy Prosecutor Paul Rhoadarmer. The law is alleged to be uncons'titutional in the motion for anew trial filed by attorneys for Elmer Russell, of Indianapolis, convicted of first degree murder of his wife, Estella May. His sentence is life imprisonment. Law Enacted In 1927 The Indiana law', enacted in 1927, provides that when A plea of insanity is entered, the court may appoint two or three alienists to examine the accused, and testify at the close of the evidence, before the arguments. Such testimony by disinterested physicians would follow that of alienists of both State and defense. Both sides can cross-examine the physicians. The motion for a new' trial for

l'.H I Hill il l‘r< kh More than 100 delegates to the Republican national convention at Kansas City will be chosen at four State conventions and two primaries this wek. Both the Illinois and Nebraska primaries are tomorrow, with the latter State almost assured for Senator Norris. Former Governor Lowden's fight for his own State delegation is the principal interest—outside of the heated Chicago local campaign—in Illinois. The Rhode Island convention is today with Secretary Hoover the only candidate; Idaho Tuesday is expected to give its delegation to Senator Borah, while Hoover-Low-den fights are expected at the North Carolina convention Wednesday and the New Mexico convention Saturday. Governor Alfred E. Smith and his family will got to Asheville, N. C., this week for what Smith describes as a “vacation.” It is expected he will confer with southern Democratic leaders. R. B. Creager, Republican national committeeman of Texas, said that the real farmers favored the candidacy of Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Dr. Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku-Klux Klan. said his organization would take no partisan stand in the coming presidential election, but would fight “against that nullificationist, Governor A1 Smith, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former Governor of Wyoming, after a speaking tour in the South, said she believed sentiment favoring the Democratic candidacy of Governor Smith was gaining favor.

Russell sets out that similar statutes in Michigan and Illinois have been held unconstitutional. Supported by Medics Such laws have been supported by the medical fraternity because it eliminates a great deal of ridicule heaped on the profession when two alienists, one on each side, testify to opposite conclusions as to the sanity of the accused. “If the defendant really is insane,” Prosecutor William H. Remy said, “his attorney need not fear the testimony of disinterested aliemsts. If he is not insane, the State has a better chance to show' it.” Testimony as to a man’s sanity at the time of trial, or even shortly after the commission of the crime, has to do with his mental condition at the time the crime was committed only reflectively, Rhoardarmer said.
