THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.C HENDERSON READY Today on the Radio FOR RADIO FIGHT Early Action. Against KWKH Is Expected—Obscenity May Be Charged. BY MARTIN CODEL. ‘Tremendous political interest, obvi. ously reflecting popular interest of hosts of radio listeners throughout the country, has been aroused by the feud that has developed between Senator Dill of Washington and K. W. Hender- son, owner and operator of station KWKH, Shreveport, La. Senator Dill has chlr'd Mr. Henderson with broad- | casting “obscene, profane and indecent | language.” No radio topic has ever evoked as great ap amount of national concern, for the station is one of the most widely heard in the United States, and comes clearly on good receiving sets in certain parts of this city. Theye is no doubt that the attack by Senator Dill has stimulated the Federal Radio Commissicn, charged by Senator Dill with “lack of courage” in delaying| action against the station, to a serious consideration of the course of action to taken. Legal Action Is Predicted. ‘The upshot of the senatorial charges, 1t can be stated with authority, will be | 1o legal action against KWKH, but not on the score of the owner's fight against chain stores. The charge will be that the language heard from the station 1 and other of the owner's acts violate | js Federal regulations. Judging from the fighting attitude of Mr. Henderson, it is certain that this action, initiated either by the Federal Radio Commission or the Department of Justice, or both, ‘will be carried to the courts. In fact, Mr. Henderson has announced that he is prepared to fight. Denying the charges of Senator Dill, he has stated that he proposes to resist all efforts to dislodge his station from its cleared wave length. He is ready, he has said, to erect a super power broad- casting station in Mexico in the event the Government rules against him. ‘The expected action will be the cita- tion by the commission of Mr. Hender- son for a public hearing before the next three-month licensing period begins, on February 1. At the hearing the com- mission will inquire into the “public interest, convenience or necessity” of the station. Extensive stenographic reports of the remarks made through its microphones will form the bulk of the testimony, while Mr. Henderson will undoubtedly come armed, as he did at a hearing last year, with thousands of afdavits af testing the merits of his station. Another course of action which Sena- tor Dill is seeking is criminal prosecu- tion through the Department of Justice and the Federal district attorney of Loul Senator Dill disclaims any interest in the merits or demerits of Mr. Henderson's chain store fight, and says he is not perturbed over the per- sonal attacks upon him, which have taken the form of puns upon his name and criticism of his personal record, and to which he has listened on the readio here in Washington. Obscenity Is Charged. His stand, made clear in Senate hear- !np last week, is that the station, which 1s engaged in ‘the direct selling of coffee and other products, is not operating in the public interest and not entitled to use of one of the few cleared chan- nels. Moreover, Senator Dill maintains that the station's owner is violating that section of the radio statute, of which the Senator is co-author, pro- viding that, “no person within the juris- diction of the United States shall utter any obscene, indecent or profane lan- g;um by means of radio communica- on.” The Yadio Commission has authority, heyer before tested, to revoke or refuse to renew a station license under the general public interest clause of the radio law. Another section of the act provides that violating the terms of the act or any regulations passed under it by the licensing authority can result in @ fine of $500 for each offense. The commission is prepared to chargt KWKH with fallure to playing of phonograph records as such, as required under one of its official or- ders. Senator Dill himself listened to Mr. Henderson's statement the other night that he will no longer announce d the Senator 11, Politics entered into the situation in o small measure. There is no doubt, as evidenced by Chairman Robinsos testimony before the Senate commit- tee, that political considerations have precluded action hitherto. Judge Rob- inson said that certain Southern mem- bers of the Senate appeared on behalf of KWKH when KVOO, Tulsa, Okla., which, incidentally, is owned by the Republican national committeeman from Oklahoma, Mr. Skelly, fought un- successfully fon the KWKH cleared channel last year. Mr. Henderson in his broadcast clear- . ly_shows an attitude of deflance and belligerence. He been c! l on the air that a numiber of ered on e tions have purposely inte wave length. Members of the Federal Radio Com- mission refuse to commit themselves publicly ren.nfln: their attitude toward KWEKH. * This is probably because their terms expire next month, and they want their tenures more secure before enter- ing into the fight. There is an evident determination, however, to proceed with the case, and Commissioner H. A. La- fount is outspoken in his belief that the commission can and should take action. A Dpicturesque situation, to say the least, s promised here in Washington when K. H. Henderson of “Hello, World, Doggone Yow" fame, appears at the hearings which will soon be held before '23 commission and probably before the (Copyrisht, 1930, by North American News- paver Alliance 461.3—WSM Nashille—g50, 7:00—Orchestra and contralto.

Several times in the last two weeks it has been aF parent. Fourteen hundred people, many rank novices in the sport and not a few of them children, entered The Washington Star’s singles tournament. That was a surprise. It was thought the tour- nament would draw about 1,250, which would have been some- thing more than a normal growth | chi over last year. No bowling alley ever before was jammed with spectators as was the Lucky Strike on the afternoon Howard Campbell met Jack White, the New Englander, at the Lucky Strike. The crowd was so thick that fully a third | of it was unable to see either the bowlers or the pins. Those unable to obtain vantage places followed the match by means of a scoreboard or by keeping verbally in touch with those up front. A few lay prone on -the floor and looked out between bleacher planks. Record Crowd at Hall. ‘That same night the Coliseum was packed likewise when the Grand Palace Valet team bowled the Connecticut All- Stars, and this time there was an ad- mission fee. A few nights before the largest crowd in the history of vast Convention Hall turned up to watch several star per- formers in The Star's tournament, mainly Paul Harrison, who recently had rolled a record set of 714. The follow- ing night, when the King Pins rolled, the hall was so fillled that a quarter hour was necessary to pick one’s way through the crowd from one end of the city-block-long place to the other. But this enth m was mild com- pared with the downright hysteria that attended the opening of the Howard Campbell sweepstakes at the Coliseum last Saturday night. People were pack- ed tighter than sardinés many rows deep behind 12 alleys. Many were un- able to see more than the backs of those in front of them. They were con- tent to stand and pick up bits of in- formation on this star or that filtering through from up front. Had Manager Lonnie Krauss permitted, a few would have perched in the rafters. Labor Gets Results. Arville Ebersole, secretary of the Washington City Duckpin Association, and Howard Campbell, energetic pair who did most of thefpromotion work on the sweepstakes, h'gl ho) to round up about 40 entrants §.he t num- ber to take part before having been 29. MONDAY, JANUARY 13 NEW YORK SKATERS SCORE HOCKEY WINS By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 13.—Last week's National Hockey League cam- paign, which brought the teams close up to the end of the first half of the season, saw several surprises, but none so great as the final kick of the New York American. A losing team for most of the first half, the Americans came through last week without a de- feat and won game 22 by halting a 14- game winning streak of the Boston Bruins. The new.American scoring combina- tion of Himes, McVeigh and Sheppard, combined with their great defense, gave the Bruins at 3-to-0 setback last night. Saturday the Americans trounced Pitts- burgh, 3 to 1, while Tuesday they tied the rising Toronto Maple Leafs, 1 to 1. Boston's lead in the American group was not threatened, for the Bruins de- feated the Rangers, 3-0, and Pittsburgh, 4-3, before they flnllly lost. The standing, including last night's games, follows: AMERICAN GROUP. Boston 88 | vs. sunshine S Their goal of 40 was thought too am- G. bitious. To their amazement, and everybody's else, 57 bowlers planked down $28 aplece for a shot at the big coin. This feld wes one short of doubling the previous largest. Neither Ebersole ror Campbell today was able to account clearly for this turn of affairs in the history of an event in which almost everdy entrant of the past had to be a0 The surprising entry may be ac- counted for in no small measure by the | £o. hard work of Ebersole and Campbeli. They personally “worked on” every bowler in Washington and its suburbs whom they thought would have a chance for a slice of the purse. They won the support of every bowling alley manager and proprietor, and to these a number of stars and near stars owe their presence in the stakes. The fat fee was paid for them. Once again John Henry Hiser of Hyattsville md Bethesda proved him- self an enterprising and broad-visioned bowling promoter. The sweepstakes could put no money directly into the till of Hiser, but he slaved to help put over an event reckoned to be a boost for the whole sport, and his delegation numbered 10.

Fair Kansas—dry since 188o0. Is Kansas as dry as they claim it is? Walter W. Liggett traveled all through the state gathering facts for this article. He talked and argued and drank with hundreds of wets and drys. He had long discussions with powerful politicians (politically dry) and prominent but silent wets.

Liggett to investigate and write aseries of articles giving the facts. “Holy, Hypocritical Kansas” is the third of this series. Others equally true and startling will appear in fut- ues of PLAIN TALK. sallied out with the snoop- ers. Hisexposé of conditions in Kansas is beyond a doubt the most careful survey of the problem ever made in the state. Mr. Liggett also in- vestigated the evils that prohibition was supposed to have corrected in Kansas—white slavery, insanity, crime, etc. Someof the facts he presents so interest- ingly are hard to believe in this day of law and order—but they are the facts nevers theless. See what Kansas has done with prohibition, and what prohibition has done to Kansas. It’s a lesson in Americanism. Read it in the February PLAIN TALK Now on Sale at all Newsstands—35¢ a Copy-~
