CENSORSHIP BY RADIO STATION IS PROTESTED Senators Charge WLW With Suppressing Washington ‘Merry-Go-Round.’ BV NED BROOKS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Complaints lodged by prominent members of the Senate and House against WLW, powerful Cincinnati radio station, directed attention today to the perplexing problem of the Federal Communications Commission in dealing with radio censorship accusations. The protests resulted from WLW s action in discontinuing for one broadcast a twice-a-week program of news comment by Drew Pearson and Robert, S. Allen, co-authors of the daily newspaper column, "Washington Merry-Go-Round," which appears daily in The Indianapolis Times, allegedly because of references which did not meet the station’s. approval. The program was omitted last Saturday night and reinstated Tuesday. The 500,000-watt station gave no public explanation for either the omission or the resumption. Complaints Made by Senators Complaints were made to the commission by Chairman Duncan U. Fletcher <D., Fla.) of tne Senate banking committee, Chairman Burton K. Wheeler (D., Mont.) of the Senate interstate commerce committee, Senator George W. Norris <R.. Neb.), Gerald P. Nye, (R..N.D.), Bennett Champ Clark (D.. Moj, and James F. Byrnes <D., s. C.). and Reps. Massey Maverick <D., Tex.), and Schuyler O. Bland <D., Va.) Some of the protests asked revocation of the station’s license. Chairman Aiming S. Prall of the communications commission said he regarded the matter as one to be settled by the station and the program’s sponsor, the Gruen Watch Cos. of Cincinnati. The commission, he said, probably will take no disciplinary action. "The dispute is strictly one involving continuity of the program, in which ihr commission has no official interest," Mr. Prall said. Commission t an Itcfusa Licenses The commission never has formulated a definite censorship policy, although it holds a powerful weapon over broadcasters in its authority to refuse renewal of licenses, which are issued for short periods. If it believes free speech is being violated, it has the power to call a station to account and revoke its licence if the charges are substantii led at hearings. WLW. it was reported, had threatened to discontinue the PearsonAlien pro-ram after a recent bioadcast in which the colummsts said the Leblond Machine Cos., Cincinnati. was manufacturing a large number of metal lathes to be shipped to Italy, probably for use in munitions manufacture. In the broadcast Oct. 15. the commentators made what apparently were regarded as uncomplimentary references to Joseph Green, Cincinnati, a State Department official, and recalled a story often repeated in Washington that the grandfather of Secretary of State Cordell Hull once killed a personal enemy. The Mutual Broadcasting Cos. then was notified that WLW had decided to discontinue the broadcasts. Called Invasion of Free Speech Senator Fletcher’s wire said he regarded exclusion of the program as an “unwarranted invasion” of the right of free speech. Mr. Maverick said he was a good friend of Secretary Hull and did not believe the program was offensive to the secretary. “Even if it was offensive to Mr. Hull there is no reason why the program should be denied the freedom of the air.” lie said. Senators Wheeler, Nye, Byrnes and Clark wired their protests from aboard the ship on which they are bound for the Philippines. The American Civil Liberties Union recently charged that WLW liad issued orders to news broadcasters to refrain from mentioning strikes. ACROBATIC GOATS GO OVER TOPS OF AUTOS Tacoma (Wash.)

FRIENDS REPORT RRIN6S CENSURE Committee's Failure to Condemn Communism Brings Criticism. By Unit■ <1 Press RICHMOND, Ind., Oct, 26. Severe criticism of the Committee on Economic Life and Relationship for failure to condemn communism, was studied today by delegates to the five-year-meeting of Friends. Dr. William C. Dennis of Earlham College charged that the committee, in its formal report to the convention. had characterized the present social order as “competitive, profit-seeking and unjust.” “Communism, along with fascism, is a relic of barbarism, and any philosophy which regards competition and profit-making as essentially an evil is foreign to the Christian concept,” Dr. Dennis said. Silent About Achievement “The committee came to the conclusion that only a transformed social order can be right. The report was silent about outstanding achievements of the present civilization in which there is more widespread comfort and happiness than the world ever has known before.” Dr. Dennis said he criticised the committee especially for making it appear its opinion was the unanimous opinion of the church. The printed report of the committee was distributed to delegates yesterday. Its contents precipated a vigorous debate during which Dr Dennis voiced his criticism.

FUTURE OF AAA CORN-HOG PLAN RESTS ON VOTE Middle Western Farmers Balloting Today on Federal Program. By United Press WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.—Twen-ty-four hours after President Roosevelt announced his determination to establish a permanent AAA. Middle Western farmers today started balloting in a corn-hog referendum that is to provide a major test of the farm agency's popularity. Corn and hog growers are to register their opinion on the question, “Do you favor a corn-hog adjustment program to follow the 1935 program which expires Nov. 30, 1935?” Official returns will not be available for nearly a week, but preliminary results are to be published by county agents or allotment committees a i soon as ballots are counted. Administration Concern Expressed Administration concern over the outcome was expressed by the President, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace and AAA Administrator Chester C. Davis. “There will be no program unless a clear majority of the growers show they want one,” Wallace said. The permanent AAA outlined by the President yesterday will aim not only to maintain high iarm prices and restrict production, but also to institute a long-term program of soil conservation and land development. Although AAA figures show some corn or hogs raised on approximately 4,500.000 farms, less than 1,000,000 growers are expected to participate in the referendum. The remainder raise only enough for their own consumption. Majority in 12 States Most of the balloting is to be in the 12 North Central States, where 80 per cent of the 1935 contracts have been signed—lowa, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas Indiana, South Dakota, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Dakota and Michigan. 400 Eligible in County Approximately 400 Marion County farmers are eligible to vote today in the AAA corn-hog referendum. Eight polling places under charge of township control boards are to be open until 10 p. m. Ballots are to decide the continuance of the AAA program in the county. GEORGE A.

Hopson Utility Records Broken Into, O’Connor Reports to U. S. Agents

No Documents Stolen From Files in House Lobby Investigation. By United Pm ss WASHINGTON. Oct. 26:—Chairman John J. O'Connor of the House utility lobbying investigating committee, said today that unidentified persons broke into his office in the Capitol and examined files of important committee data. ’OConnor, who has just returned from a trip to the coast, said the break oceured two weeks- ago. It is being investigated by G-Men. A cursory examination showed that no documents had been stolen. The file case containing detailed information regarding lobbying ae- ! tivities of Howard C. Hopson, As- : sociated Gas and Electric Cos. of- | ficial, was broken open. The case held documents submitted by Hopson at the committe’s request at conclusion of last summer’s hoardings. The Hopson data inclded a detailed report by the utility millionaire as to how he spent $900,000 in lobbying against the “death sentence” in the utility control bill. In addition, there was a complete report as to where the funds for the lobbying campaign were obtained. This included the names of banks where Hopson borrowed 51.000.000. Mr. O'Connor said he planned to resume lobby investigating hearings here in two weeks with Hopson as the first witness. Hopson will be asked to explain his failure to file data on source of his income, unless the report is made immediately. He said investigators now are studying files of the Electric Bond and Share Cos. to determine what if any, lobbying expenditures were made. "We have also been working on the Commonwealth and Southern,” he said.

NEW GANG WAR BAFFLES G-MEN Find No Trace of Suspects in Killing of Schultz and Associates. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Federal agents and police watched a multimillion dollar business change hands today, unable to lay hands on a single one of seven men suspected of having abetted the killings four perhaps six—that were the purchase price. The busines pouring gold into new pockets was the racket syndicate that Arthur (Dutch Schultz) Flegenheimer headed until two gunmen shot him and three colleagues Wednesday night in a Newark chop house. Flegenheimer and his men are said to have made $20,000,000 out of the industry in six years. The new majority stockholder, police said, is ,Johnny Torrio, who fled Chicago eyars ago before the menacing rivaly of A1 Capone. In New York he built himself an underworld domain that has resisted police and rival gang assaults and quietly made him as powerful as Capone once was. Allied with Torrio, police informants said, are six notorious racketeers. Detectives and stool pigeons in New York. Newark and other big cities of the East bent every effort to find them without success. Answers With Wise Cracks Beyond that investigators had only two promising leads to identities and motives of men who killed Flegenheimer and his followers and earlier rubbed out Louis (Pretty) Amberg and his brother, Joe, leaders of another rival gang. Most important of the two leads, in police eyes, was Mrs. ’Frances Flegenheimer 21-year-old mother of two children, who revealed yesterday she never married Flegenheimer but was his common law wime “by a legal contract.” A Newark court held her yesterday in SIO,OOO bail as a material witness. Mrs. Flegenheimer was hardpressed to explain several things. The pretty former cabaret hostess replied only with tart wisecracks and a question of her own. “If you cops don't know anything about it, why expect me to know so much?” The second principal clew was a room in a New’ York hotel that Aqiberg apparently had used for two years as a business office and hideaway. Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine said records found there were “of the greatest importance.” SENIORS ELECT DOVEY Parmalee Dovey, Sigma Chi, is the new Butler University Senior class president. Miss Jane Crawford was elected vice president; Miss Alice Porteous, secretary; and Philip Thompson, treasurer.

CIVIC CLUBS TO ASK REDUCTION OF CAS RATES Federation to Campaign for Lower Prices From City Utility. A campaign to seek lower rates on gas and coke from the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility is planned by the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs. At a meeting last night in the Washington the federation members favored rate reductions. Action on the "bank night” situation in neighborhood theaters was deferred pending action on the matter in Superior Court. The next meeting is to be held Dec. 6. Paul C. Wetter is federation president. Assails Leased Mains Arrangements such as the leasing of mains by the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility may “bleed" a municipally owned plant to such an extent that a good showing can not be made, according to Herman C. Wenzel, public utilities commissioner, St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Wenzel expressed his views in a letter to P. J. Minck, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Municipal League, Inc. Mr. Minck made the letter public today. The letter replied to an inquiry by Mr. Minck regarding statements on the Indianapolis gas situation, published in Detroit as views of Mr. Wenzel. The St. Paul official visited Indianapolis and Detroit to obtain data on gas, especially the natural product. Concerning the statements in Detroit, Mr. Wenzel’s letter stated: "The Indianapolis gas situation was very much in doubt, due to the fact that the lease was a complicated part of an arrangement to take over the gas system, and it is true that through this method they can bleed the municipal gas system to such an extent that it would be impossible to make a good showing. “I would like to have seen your city acquire the entire property and have complete municipal ownership,” the letter continued.
