Harold W.| Northeutt, U. 8. N., missing officer who was located yesterday by Department of Justice agents at Vancouver, British nd is now in custody at the erton, Northcutt, whose wife and child are with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. C. Bryant, 3611 Wisconsin avenue, left the Norfolk (Va) Navy Yard on October 22 to deliver $200 to the extension deparment of the Uni- versity of Virginia. Later the lieutenant’s automobile was located abandoned at Richmond., Va., while several theories—including those that he had been robbed and drowned and his body hidden—were advanced to account for his disappearance. ‘While dispatches from the Associated Press brought the story of Lieut. North- cutt's apprehension to Washington, his family and friends here were at a loss to explain why he had disappeared. His father-in-law indicated that the De- partment of Justice operatives had as- certained that an Ottawa, Canada, woman was in love with the naval offi- | cer and was determined to marry him Confined to Quarters. ‘The Bureau of Navigation today com- munica ed with Rear Admiral H. J.| Ziegemeler, commandant of the 13th Naval District, Pudget Sound, to advise | the department regarding any state- ment Lieut. Northcuit has to make about his disappearance, It was learned that the apprehended officer is now con- fined to his quarters at the receiving station at the Pudget Sound Navy Yard. The department will draft no charges against Lieut. Northcutt until| it has received the Department of Jus- tice report and the report of Admiral Ziegemeier. Announcement of the finding of the lieutenant was made in Washington | yesterday by Capt. R. E. Pope of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Depart- ment. Wires of the Associated Press lner‘! added further light to the finding, when | Capt. Zeno E. Briggs, captain-of the | navy yard at Pudget Sound, explained | that Lieut. Northcutt was brought to the navy yard by Department of Justice representatives. Friends stated that the charge of desertion might be lodged against the lieutenant. Considered & model naval officer, Lieut. Northcutt was in the Construc-| tion Corps and on duty at the Norfolk Navy Yard. His friends pointed out that he did not drink or smoke and that he was interested in education, lending his aid to the extension depart- ment of the University of Virginia by teaching. News dispatches by the Associated Press from Seattle brought tre infor- mation that Lieut. Northcutt was lo- cated in a house at Vancouver, British Columbia, where he was residing as a civilian. He agreed to return to Seattle, paying his own way, it was said and upon *lll arrival was formally arrested. Unofficial reports from Seattle were that Lieut. Northcutt will be returred to Norfolk to face a court martial for leaving his post without permission. Unable to Advance Reason. Members of his wife's family here were puzzled by the disappearance of Lieut. Northcutt, The District of Columbia Court of Appeals today rendered opinions by Chief Justice George E. Martin in four appeals made to it from actions of the Federal Radio Commission. In three of the cases the action of the commis- | SO sion was affirmed, and in the fourth case it was reversed. The order of the commission denying full-time operation to Station WNYC, conducted by the city of New York, was | tipheld by the courl. The commission | had ordered the station to share time with WMCA, which has its studlo in New York and its transmitter in New Jersey and which operated at the same frequency. The city of New York, in its appeal, contended that it had ‘ac- quired a property right to operate at full time and the attempted restriction amounted to a taki of property with- out process of law. It was also claimed that the city of New York was con- ducting a governmental function in the operation of the station. Holds Neither Claim Tenable. Ohief Justice Martin declares that feither claim is tenable, because the in- terstate broadcasting of radio commu- nication is a species of interstate com- merce and as such is subject to Federal regulation, and that, while the city is} & municipal corporation, in tl:> opera. tion of its radio station it exercises private and not governmental powers and is not acting as a municipal cor- poration, but as a corporate legal in- dividual. ‘The court points out that the com- mission could not grant the request of the City of New York for full time with- out eliminating WMCA, “which serves the same public and which has won blic esteem by the high character ol its service.” Agrnv:l is given by the court to the decision of the commission to discon- tinue the licensing of portable broad- casting stations which are migratory in character and which having no fixed place had been permitted to operate at any place to which its transmitting equipment may be transported by the licenses. C. L. Carroll had licenses for seven such stations and efter four of them had been made stationary ap- g%ld for renewals for the other three. e commission refused his request and Carroll appealed. Scope of Ruling Cited. Chief Justice Martin points out that mo complaint is made as to the conduet of Carroll's stations, but the ruling of the commission relates to all portable | stations alike, and the appeal challenges the authority of the commission to make and enforce its rule against the licens of portable broadcasting stations as a class. The ecommission claimed that the Heensing of portable stations is not in the public interest, convenience or necessity aJ at under the allocations of s ations ar at present established, the ration of migratory transmitters would result in harmful interference and would deprive the public of the gervice of the stations with which they would come in contact. The court declined to ‘act on the !u‘- gestion that the commission should al- low Carroll to “anchor” these remaining three slltlnr}lll. decltlrlng) t':ll‘: qulell.‘linn . before the court, whicl only de- ot < ?fim that the commission has the | “Nothing ever surprised me and my fight to deny renewals as portable sta- { family more,” Bryant said. “We know tions. of no reason for such a step.
