‘ &Nefzhwrhmd v CHIEF SUGGESTED 'FOR BROADCASTING Saltzman Would Place Direc- tor in Charge of Allocation of Stations. By the Assoeisted Press. ATLANTIC CITY, June ¢4—The ap- pointment of & WFederal director of broadcasting and the allocation of sta- tions from the standpoint of area as; well as population was advocated by Maj. Gen. Charles Saltzman, chairman of the Federal Radio Commission, in an address today at the radio show. The director of broadcasting, Salts- man said, would be “an expert who shall receive all applications pertaining to broadeasting stations, and who, with thee engineering staff, shall study them as National problems and submit rec- ommendations to the commissioner, who will act as & jury and render deeislons.” Gen, Saltzman said the provision of prescnt law, which apportions radio fa- cilities according to population was wisely enacted to meet & need, but that area should be considered in working out an equitable allocation. “I know of a small Eastern State en- titled under the present law to about six times much in the way of radio facllities as Middle West, farming State which ut six times as large,” he said. “The villager in the small Eastern State can easily reach the mov- fes in his car, but the farmer out on the Dakota prairies has only the ndi{’ Tl Kvising P SUAR, VY DAL LAY s A AN USE OF CHEMICAL and exceedingly little of that.” General Saltzman said the commis- sion did not plan to make drastic shifts in the present broadcasting setup, but that changes would be and flon[.“w\md engineering lin TAX EQUALIZATION BOARD IS CHOSEN Rarle Faum, R.

By the Asgociated Press. CHICAGO, June 4.—Declaring that he had nothing to do with the two shots fired last night through the bed room window of his estranged wife, Dechow, until recently known as “Count Von Buelow,” surrendered to police last night. Mr. Dechow went even further and told police that his wife, Mrs, Lottie Brenner Dechow, was to “frame” him. “I think she got & couple of friends to fire the shots,” complained Dechow. “In any event, I was at my home play- ing cards when it happened.” Dechow also asserted his wife had staged the hold-up in her home on Sheridan road several weeks ago when she reported she was robbed of $50,000 worth of jewelry. Robbers posing as census takers entered her home on this occasion, gagged and bound members of the household and escaped in sensa- tional style. Police inquired if he had not been married to & woman in Argentina be- fore wedding the Chicago woman. This he denied. He was then fingerprinted and photographed, and police said his likeness and prints will be sent to Ar. gentina in an effort to check the ru- Dechow tace jury cha aces a perjury charge, grow- ing out of the discovery that the lg-nn on which he was married had been ured under the spurious name of ‘on Buelow.” CIVITAN CLUB MEETS MWeekly Luncheon of Organization Held at Neighborhood He ‘The Civitan Clyb held its weekly funcheon at Neighborhood House, 470 N street southwest, yesterday, the oe- casion marking one of a series of visits t0 Community Chest organizations by Wi n service clubs to show con- tributors to the Chest how the money is used in welfare work.

Tag With Waterspout National Geographic Survey Party Members Photo- graph Terror of Seas While Hoping They Will Not Become *It” on Flight to Havana. ‘The story of a thrilling game of tag with a waterspout, during which this terror of the seas was photographed from the air at close range, has just reached National Geographic headquar- | ters here from its seaplane survey party, | now in Havana. Frederick Simpich, in charge of the arty, describes the unusual experience & communication to the society’s headquarters. "Bolflnsu the sea from Key West to Cuba,” he wrote, “our giant flying boat ‘Argentina’ was almost in sight of Havan when a heavy rain- squall suddenly blew up to starboard. ‘To avoid the angry black cloud we veered to port. Then to our amazement there quickly dropped from the north end of the stormcloud the thin, writh- ing black column of & waterspout. In a few seconds, as we watched, it grew to a black, whirling corkscrew at least 600 feet high and probably 50 feet or more in diameter. “Jacob Gayer, staff photographer, and Capt. Albert W. Stevens, noted Army parachute jumper and serial pic- ture man, seized cameras and made| for open ports. “A sinister, frightful-looking monster the spout had now become, like a giant factory chimney linking the heavens with the sea. Then, as it grew in size and whirled and twisted, it took the shape and appearance of a great snake, spray and mist rising in clouds from where its tail lashed the sea. Yet its writhing edges were as clean-cut as & broad band of black ribbon. “All day the sky had been overcast, the sea calm, the air supercharged with molsture. It was from a particularly black, low-lying cloud that the great spout had developed; and, as we flew round and round it, Gayer and Stevens made s series of pictures. By my watch it was exaotly seven minutes from | the time the spout first formed until | it faded ihto the black depths of the e s B AIRPLANE PILOTS LISTED IN NEW ROLE| Brotherhood of Locomotive «Engi- | neers Considering Their Ad- mission to Membership.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 4.—Admis- sion of airplane pilots and motor trans- porta al Spokesmen for the convention con- ducted in closed sessions, said that while there was no definite program to enlarge the brotherhood and that no action will be taken at the present gathering, some of the delegates have considered the ibility of taking in pllots and interstate créss-country bus and truck drivers. ant grand chief, pointed out that the brotherhood’s membership had been hurt by the development of motor and aerial transportation as well as greater efficiency on the railroads. ‘The national legislative report of the brotherhood urged reduction of the maximum time per day which transpor- tation employes are allowed to work under Federal laws from 16 to 12 hours. ‘The report also recommended measures to reduce the working week, presum- ably to five days.

Now, in a plane fhat could fly 127 miles an hour, we impudently play‘ed tag with one and took its pic- ture! “Whizzing over Moro Castle, we landed in Havana Harbor in a tropical downpour, to find crowds of Cubans in sheltered places along the water front excitedly discussing the ‘cyclone,’ “The only way to siop one,’ said an ex= cited customs inspector, ‘is to shoot it “But for this amazing prank nature, our alr cruise from uhl:s- ton down to Havana was without ad- venture. Down the Potomac the ship had flown, past Arlington and Mount Vernon. Above the battle fleet at Hampton Roads, past Norfolk and out to sea—with the so-called great Dismal Swamp stretching far to the west. A vast, dark blue and mysterious waste it is, seen from the air, with here and there what seem to be cleared and cultivated areas. “Towns, light houses, islands, rivers and estuaries slipped before the watch- ful eyes of our cameras. Wilmington, | Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, lay along the path of the ambitious aerial survey which began at Anacostia Naval Base and will end in the Argentine. “South of Miami came the flat, emp- ty Florida coast, with its myriad man- grove keys and shallows—where water is by turn green, blue and milky white. Below us birds went busily about their fishing; porpoise schools broke water here and there. And, by looking closely when the plane flew low, one might see fish, big and little, feeding about the reefs. . “Following the overseas railway that spans the islands out to Key West, we banked and turned to ‘shoot’ a pas- senger train. From the locomotive cab and open car windows friendly people waved to us and by jets of white steam we knew the engineer was whistling a salute. © “Over Key Wedt we circled to give ple- cameramen & chance to record the torial geography of this singular city, where big, fat old guns wallow mfly behind grass-grown forts.

Chemical treatment of coal with cal- clum chloride preparations to render it dustless only increases the weight about 30 pounds per ton, I. L. Miller, Indiana commissioner of weights and measures, told the National Conference on Weights and Measures at the Bureau of Stand- ards today. Because of the small difference, he said, there is little reason for communi- tles to adopt special regulations for the sale of this product. The ealcium chloride preparation, he said, keeps the coal reasonably free from dust for a year. “Both dealer and consumer are pro- tected,” he sald, “when chemically treated coal is sold by avoirdupois we'l’(ht without deductions for moisture added through the treating process pro- vided that the moisture is kept within the limits necessary to properly distrib- ute the chemical, that the coal is true to variety and grade, vertised and sold treated'.” There is much unnescessary waste in as ‘chemically packing and handling farm produets, || said Henry Lohmann, representative of the National Association of Retail Gro- || cers. “The modern method of selling vege- | | tables and fruit,” he said, “is either by the pound or by numerical count. Why not have the farmers, commission men and wholesaleds do the same as the || growers or retail fruit men. At present we buy some articles by weight, others |/ by measure and still others by container, snd must guess at the weight.” Standardized methods for measurin, ases for automoblles were discusse y Ralph W, Smith of the Bureau of || Standards.
