Radio’s sixth Christmas finds Santa us riding through a gled ether. t is radio’s major handicap today, and Congress Jas so far been un: willing to assurle the Santa role and legislate to cleer up the interference situation. But the radio Industry and the radio public as a whole never before were in a happier and more prosperous state. Reports are that sets have been more popular as Christmas gifts than during any previous Christmas. Fhere is no question that broadcast- ers are presenting to their public the best programs of all time. The programs this Christmas ex emplify the high class of entertain- ment ard instruction being transmit- ted through the ether to listeners in all parts of the land. The Yuletide refrain through the whole day 1anges from hymns and carels and sermons from the churches to special talk special music and jazz studios.

Scientists are studying closely types of receiving sets in order to determine the best kind for use on an airplane to receive both radio telephone mes- sages and the bason signal. The experiments on directive bea- cons require the erection of beacon towers with generators and equip- ment, and one improvement is ex- pected to enable the aviator simply to watch a light on his instrument board in order to determine whether he is following the proper route. The marker beacons are small radio trans- mitters to be placed every 25 miles along the route to tell the aviator how far he has flown. Not only at College Park, but at two points on certain of the air routes established by the Aeronautics Branch, supplemental experimental work is being done by the scientists. Instead of curtailing its program for the holiday, WRC has augmented its regular Saturday broadcasting sched- ule and will be on the air eontinuously all afternoon and night, closing on the stroke of midnight with the final strains of music from the Frivolity Club in New York.

C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, GRAND JURY FAILS IN FRAUD PROBE, Majority Reports Corruption Among High Officials in indiana Not Proved. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, December 25.—Eleven weeks of investigation of charges that corruption has existed among high officials of Indiana have failed to produce indictments by the grand jury that conducted the inquiry, it was disclosed yesterday. The in- vestigating body was not unanimous, however, in the opinion that the ev dence it has heard did rot warrant in- dictments. Five of the six grand jurors can vote indictments, but re- ports had it that only four of the jurors were in favor of returning in- dictments, while two were opposed. The investigating body completed its report on the inquiry yesterday after- noon and submitted it to Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court. He scanned it and then returned it to the foreman, Wilson Furnas, with instruc- tions to eliminate or change the final paragraph, which the judge declared violated the oath the jurors had taken to disclose none of the evidence that had been submitted. The report was taken back to the grand jury room. but after a few minutes deliberation the' Investigators adjourned. The report probably will be submitted again to the judge at 10 a.m. next Monday. No Indictments Involved. Judge Collins said it was a fair in- ference that the report contained no, indictments. This view was also hel by Fred C. Gause, special deputy pros- ecutor, who has been assisting in the inquiry. There was no comment from the grand jurors themselves. The failure of the investigators to agree upon the change suggested by Judge Collins in their report was taken as further indication of the dif- ference of opinion that was rumored to prevail among the jurors. ‘William H. Remy; prosecutor, and his assistant, Willlam H. eaffer, both of whom have been active in de- veloping evidence for the inquiry, took occasion to recall prophetic remarks made by D. C. Stephenson, former Ku Klux Klan leader, regarding the grand jury’s attitude toward the corruption charges. Stephenson was visited by the prosecutors at the State Prison, where he is serving a life sentence for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer. They hoped to obtain from him evi- dence in support of charges that high State officials had bargained corruptly with him for his political support. Both Quote Stephenson. Both Remy and Sheafer asserted that Stephenson had told them every vote taken by the grand jury would stand 4 to 2. The corruption charges which brought about the inquiry were first made by Thomas H. Adams, publisher of the Vincennes, Ind., Commercial. The publisher with several colleagues had made an independent investiga- tion into the political situation. He declared his inquiry revealed that high officials eager for Stephen- son’s political influence had entered into corrupt deals with the ex-grand dragon. JAIL NOT EMPTY LONG. MORGANTOWN, W.
