Washington, Jan. 16. Senator Dill, who has been an ouspoken critic of W. K. Henderson, of Station KAVKH at Shreveport. La., for his alleged use of profanity in broadcast- J ing, and has demanded prosecution by the attorney general, paid if it . were true, as he had been informed, ! that Henderson no longer was using! uujctnuuai iduguuBe, nau nu iui - necessaril -, mer cuiiipuurii. oenaior wagner (dem., N. Y.) asked whether the committee was going to act as a cen sor, and Dill said he might have no objection to an occasional lapse, but that he did resent the continual and persistent use of profanity over KWKH. The discussion led Couzens to re mark that words used by Floyd Gib bons, author and newspaper man, broadcast over the radio might also bo objectionable. A request that Henderson be call ed by the senate interstate commerce committee to answer criticism about the language used over his station was made today by Senator Wheeler, but no action was taken. Henderson Says Will Quit Usirg "Heir and "Damn." Shreveport, La., Jan. 1C. The friends who backed W. K. Henderson the "Hello World, Doggone Yuh" owner-announcer of station KWKH in two previous fights for a clear channel on the air and new friends as well are rallying around him again as it is indicated that the fed eral radio commission may curb his station by refusing to renew its li cense or reduce it to a place in the "radio graveyard." A "business man's dollar club" to aid in the fight was launched at Farmerville, La., headed by State Public Service Commissioner Fields, who has, with other attorneys, elTer ed legal services free to defend Hen derson in the event criminal action is taken against him for alleged use of profanity while broadcasting. Sign Petition. In a typical petition signed at Farmerville by county and town of ficials and over one hundred citizens, the radio commission was addressed as follows: "Independent of the fact whether the station has been intern Derate in epeech, we are convinced that it has not violated the law and that its wave length should be re tained so that the common people of America may be given proper freedom of the air." Henderson defends his use of "damn and hell" over the air by de claring it is no worse than is heard on the streets and in the movies and on the stage. "This is a new day," he declares. "The language of today is as differ ent from other ages as modern wom en's apparel from the hoop-skirt or airplanes from the old-time sulky." Henderson announced over the air today that he would refrain from using hell and damn, but explained later he did not mean that this wai permanent. "Worse on Hoover." Referring to Senator Dill's charge of profanity, he said: "Why, my language now is not as bad as I used against Mr. Hoover in the presiden tial campaign. Why i Dillle getting riled up?" Henderson blames his fight against chain stores for the attack. A report has gained headway that if Henderson is banned from the air by the radio commission, he will move his station to Mexico World-Ilerald. APPROVE STATE P0WES RATES Lincoln. Jan. 17.

In the winning of the game every member of the blue and white do serves a great deal of credit as every member was contributing to the vic tory in the deadly Bhots at the bas ket as well as the superb floor game that swept the visitors off their feet. In the opening quarter the visitors kept clcpe guard on the forwards but our duo of fighting guards swept in and WTiles and Turner both scored field goals with Bob Hartford and Munim each annexing a free toss to give the Platters a six to three lead at the end of the quarter. Ap- plegate, apparently the big noise of the visitors, was responsible for their three points. The second quarter allowed Gallo way, one of the local forwards, to ring up a field goal while Hartford also took advantage of the Prepsters to sink one and then Mu nun started to grow hot and looped two baskets to bring the lead to fourteen to nine at the half. The third quarter of the game wrecked any hopes that the Bob- kittens might have had for a vie tory as Galloway, and McCleary, who was sent in for him, each rang up two while Hartford, Mumm and Wiles each rang the bell and Captain Rov Turner made two free thrown good to keep in the running. The fourth quarter was simply a case of Garland McCleary finding the basket at almost every shot as he sank three field goals while Mumm annexed another one for good measure and their teammates held effectively the last minuto rally o the visitors, who were largely held to long shots at the loop. Mumm was the high point man of the game, leading McCleary by one, while for the visitors Applegate was the leading scorer. But aside from the scoring the members of the blue and white quintet played a mighty, mighty sweet game and all are de serving a real credit as Hartford and Turned broke up many of the visitors passes by their aggressive work and kept the ball largely In the possession of the Platters. The tabulated score of the game was as follows: Plattsmouth Fa FT PF Galloway, rf 2 0 4 McCleary. rf 4 0 1 Hartford, If 2 11 Mumm. c 4 12 Turner, rg 12 0 4 Wiles, lg 2 0 2 4 Tf 4 8 5 9 15 10 34 Peru Prep FO FT PF Furnas, rf 0 10 0 Pugh.

Treasury Re ceives Much in Delinquent Tax County Treasury Is Much Better Off as Result of Efforts of Treas urer and Sheriff Chiropractic Physioan SCHMIDTMAKN BUILDING The collection of the delinquent taxes of the county has been a mat ter of care in the office of County Treasurer John T. Turner, in the past two years that has resulted In the treasury receiving a great deal of money that otherwise would have probably been lost as a great deal of the personal taxes were gathered in by the treasurer, altho in this collection the office of Sheriff Bert Reed has had an Important part in seeing the various parties and see ing that they responded to the re quest. The year 192S saw a very Iarje amount of the taxes wiped off the books when tho collections of per sonal taxes reached the amount of $18,472.24, while this year the amount was much les due to the energetic campaign that was made the year previous and this year there was $7,646.69 collected and turned Into the treasury. The law makes it imperative for the county treasurer to see that these taxes are collected, to issue distress warrents and these are then placed in the hands of the sheriff, who by law Ia required to serve the same and take such methods as are neces sary to collect the same, this duty, like that of the treasurer, being imperative. The taxes with the interest that la fixed by law had aided in bringing Into the county funds a great deal of money and wliich ia due to the efforts of the county officers to see that this matter Is given prompt at tention.
