What is construed as an official

of midwestern radio stations which
jumped their regularly assigned wave

July in the allocation of wave lengths
by the new federal radio commission,
announced Tuesday. j

New York. May 25. The shouting
and the tumult which has not died
since Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh de
parted for Paris will reach its full
roar when he returns to New York.
On his return home, a reception put

queens and heroes of other days will
be given him.
Although "Slim" has not decided
when he will come back, preparations
are being made in many quarters to
let him know that the folk at home
were with him in spirit as he and
the "Spirit of St. Louis" winged their
way to Paris.
The welcome will be as official as
there are officials to make it so. the
federal, state and municipal govern

maker will know, of the impending
the development cf aviation, to the
glory cf his country and to his own
undying fame."
Opening tribute cf the local wel

first welcome when a formation of 11
planes will be led down tho bay by
Maj. George Vaughn, flight com
mander at Miller field. Staten Island.
If all the banquets boing planned
materialize, the hero of the air will
be threatened with incurable indigestion.

For sala at the Betes Book and Stationary Store
Indianapolis, Ind., May 2 4. Re
consideration of legislative phases of
prohibition was urged upon Gover
nor Ed JacL'son Monday by Attorrey
Gcneral Arthur L. Gilliom. who point
ed out that whisky unlawfully ob
tained had been used in the treat
ment of the governor's wife in her
recent serious illness.
In a ltter to the governor, the
attorney general urged him to re
commend to the enxt legislature that
it amend the Wright bone dry law
passed two years ago, to permit the
use of whisky under proper precau
tions, for medicinal purposes.
Jledicinal Value.
"We must bring about a better
enforecement of the liquor law be
fore we start tearing it down," was
the reaction of E. S. Shumakc'r. sup
erintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon
league. Shumaker said that
whisky possesses no medicinal qual
ities which pure grain alcohol does
not have. Sale of the latter by regis
tered pharmacists upon physicians'
prescriptions is permitted 1ut whisky
or other intoxicants are barred for
all purposes.
Gilliom's view differed from Shu
maker's. He pointed out that a year
ago he had been forced to obtain
whisky for treatment of his sons, ill
of typhoid fever, just as the gover
nor had done when his wife had
pneumonia.
To Make 3,000,000 Gallons.
Washington, May 24. Assistant
Secretary Andrews announced Mon
day that the Treasury department is
shortly to authorize manufacture of
3,000,000 gallons of whisky for medi
cinal purposes.
Treasury decisions sertlng up au
thority anil machinery for the issuing
of permits are awaiting .signatures.
Present plan is to have the project
taken over by four or five private
groups.
This announcement brought a pro
test Monday night from ' Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel for the
Anti-Saloon league, who asserted that
the present supply of medicinal
whisky was adequate and that Assist
ant Secretary Andrews had not the
authority to take this action.
'SLIDE FOR LIFE' FATAL
Chicago, 111., May 23. Richard
Joseph Dunne, jr., 8. a grandson of
former Governor Edward F. Duanc:
was killed tonight when he lost his
hold on a wire cable down which he
was attempting to slide after climb
ing six stories up the side of a build
ing under construction.

Santa Monica, Cal., on the same wave.
WOW, the Woodmen of the World
.station, and WHO, Bankers Reserve
Life station of Des Moines, have been i
given preferred wave lengths which!
will permit them to operate at the!
sane time without blanketing each'
other. WOW gets 50S.2 meters and
WHO 535.4 meters. KFAB at Lin-'
coin is given a preferred wave of
309.1 meters.
Important Effect.
One effect of the new grouping will
be to permit listeners in this terri
tory to listen to KFI. Los Angeles,
and WJZ, New York, direct. Former
ly KOIL and the Shenandoah sta
tions blanketed these stations.
The three less powerful Omaha
person wno hred a bullet into his
brain, was returned here by a coron
er's jury investigating the death
today. The jury recommended a rigid
investigation into the case.

gineer, and a brother of the victim

i Another witness at the inquest. G.
J. VanYelzen, who worked with Tem-
plemeyer in the local railroad shopS
testified that 10 days ago the slain
man told hini he was having difficul
ties and that while riding with a girl
friend the night previous a car had
followed him for more than two
hours.

school): KFOX (Tech High school)
and WNAL (Ronald Rockwell) are
ordered to divide time on a wave -of
25S-5 meters.
Five hundred and twenty-seven of
the 693 stations licensed are allocat
ed waves between the 199.9 and 300
meter band. This, in the opinion of
the experts, will make it next to im
possible for any part tenia r station to
have more than a 50 to 100-mile
range.
One hundred and nine stations are
licensed on waves ranging from three
hundred to four hundred meters,
while between the exclusive four and
five hundred-meter band only 43 sta
tions will operate. From 500 meters
to 545.1 the highest wave granted,
only 15 stations are licensed.
Field Is Fcaiful.
All local broadcasters seemed
pleased Tuesday with the new wave
lengths. The one exception was Hen
ry Field, operator of KFNF at Shen
andnah, who said he wanted to re
serve judgment until the new system
is tried out.
"It looks like there is going to
be quite a lot of interference be
tween Shenandoah. KOIL at Council
Bluffs and Ames," said Mr. Field.
"V.'e are all bunched within seven
meters of each other and, offhand, I
should say the situation is going to
be bad locally."
Mr. Field said he sat up until mid
night Monday studying the new as
signments. He expressed regret that
WJAG at Norfolk had had its wave
reduced from 270 to 222 meters and
alo a cut of one-half in its power.
"Were ticriifcti pink." was the
comment of Don Srarle, manager of
station KOIL at Council Bluffs. "The
radio commission, I should say, has
done a darn good job. I can't see
"where there's going to be much in
terference on our wave."
Frank Manchester, manager of the
Omaha Grain Exchange station,
WAAW. said he was pleased that the
new WAAW license provided for ex
clusive use of the air during the day
time. "After all," he said, "we are chief
ly concerned with the broadcast of
our market reports. Our programs
at night have been principally to keep
our machine well oiled."
"Very fine. V.'e are very pleased,"
was the comment of Orson Stiles,
manager cf the Woodmen station.
WOW. He expressed satisfaction that
the waves of WHO and WOW had
been separated, permitting each sta
tion to broadcast without interfer
ence to the other.

BANDS CC'IE TO BLUFFS

any,
San Francisco, Cal., May 23.
Bands of the high schools in Bur-
lingame, Princton and Modesto, Cal..
were preparing today to leave for
Council Bluffs, la., to participate in
the national high school band com
petition, Friday and Saturday.
The three bands were victors in
the contest in San Francisco during
Music week recently.
had been going with Templemeyer
during the pa-t six weeks, but denied
any affairs with a third party.
A local resident told the county
sheriff that about 11 p. m. Saturday
he had driven past the scene of the
tragedy and that a car which appar
ently belong to Templemeyer was in
the ditch near the cemetery two miles
north of here and that another ma
chine was parked nearby. Two men,
he said,, were near the stalled auto
mobile. Abandoning previous theories
that the: man killed himself, the
county attorney's office is busy on
new clews. A bump on the back of
Tcmplcineyer's head had led officers
to believe that the man was struck
by an assailant, with a struggle prob
ably ensuing which culminated in
the shooting.
Friends told police that Temple
meyer had incurred the hatred of a
n unsuccessful rival for a girl, and
that one night last week had heated
words with a person at the girl's
home, after Templemeyer had escort
ed her there.
Mrs. Templemeyer died in March,
1926, and since then his three small
children have been in Denison, Tex.,
with Lis parents. He had obtained a
railroad pass to go to visit them in
two weeks.
From Tuesday's I'aily
The regular grind of the city coun
cil last evening was one that was
filled with tho discussion of a num
ber of subjects but no definite ac
tion on the two chief matters of
discussion, that of a street fiusher
and the holding of weekly band con
certs and both were laid over for
further committee reports.
The council received a communica
tion from the Plattsmouth Ad club
in which it was requested that the
city hold weekly band concerts and
as Wednesday evening was to be t he
occasion when the stores were open.
this date was preferred as the time
of holding the concerts. It was re
quested that the concerts be held as
soon as possible. On inquiry the fi
nance committee reported that the
sum on hand in the amusement fund
was -S3 S3. Councilman Kin-.sir.anp
stated that he had talked with Direc
tor Holly of the band and they had
agreed to furnish the concerts from
$75 to per concert. The matter
was disc ussed and on motion the mat
ter was referred to the parks and
improvement committee for their re
port at a later meeting.
The matter of a fiusher to be used
on the paved streets in the main sec
tion of the city was then read and
this led to the reading of a proposi
tion of furnishing a new fiusher com
plete for some $1.2S0. Mayor John
son stated that he had with the com
mittee looked over the fiushers in
Omaha as the matter had been given
some attention and called upon Coun
cilman Kunsrnann for a report.
Councilman Kunsrnann stated that
they had had an estimate of $170
for a special tank from the Iowa &
Nebraska Steel tank company and
that the fittings for the tank could
be bought fron the ciry of Omaha
at a cost of $70 and to which would
be added the labor bill of installing.
This matter on motion v.-as referred
to the streets, alleys and bridges
committee for their future report af
ter a more thorough investgiation.
The finance committee of the coun
cil reported the following claims
which were ordered paid:

Wind Storm Hits
Two States Hard
Illinois ad Indiana Victims of Heavy
Damages. Eut No Fatalities Are
Reported in the Tornado.
Chicago. May 23. A heavy wind
storm which blew across Illinois and
Indiana today heavily damaged light
and power lines, uprooted trees and
unroofed buildings, but apparently
was without fatalities. Warsaw, Ind.,
according to reports, suffered the
heaviest damage. There, the wind
which reached tornado proportions,
cut a path from 1 to 2 blocks wide
for a stretch of six or eight blocks.
Several business houses were unroof
ed and a number of homes also lost
their roofs.
Kankakee, Ottawa and the farm
district north of Utica were in the
Illinois section of the wind.
Trees and telephone and power
lines in west and southwest Chicago
were blown down and the new pass
enger plane of the Standard Oil com
pany of Indiana was damaged when
the wind hurled it against telephone
poles. The machine was at the mu
nicipal airport.
The Manhattan limited, crack
Pennsylvania train bound from New
York to Chicago was held at Warsaw
more than an hour when it crashed
into a pole across the tracks. The en
gine was damaged but no passengers
suffered hurts. ?

$20 and the claim of the water com
pany for $5S.34 for moving the fire
hydrant on Rock Bluffs avenue and
recommended their payment but urg
ed that fewer hydrants be moved as
there was a heavy cost to this.
Chairman Ilighfield of the light

Relics of Animals.
The Agate fossil beds are located
15 miles east of the Wyoming siatJ
line and have yielded relics of ani
mals that were extinct millions of
years fgo, and which existeel during
the Pilocene age.
It is estimated, according to the
geological era in which the fossil im
plement? found were associated, they
are evidence that man existed in Ne
braska 4,000,000 years ago.

dent of the American Museum of

son of the the American museum staff
and Dr. Cook.

Dr. Robert F. Gilder, commenting
cn the find, says: "ir. Cook is an
authority on paleonthology and th-i
authenticity of his find and the cr n
