Henderson
rromsses to Drop
the Bad Words
And Dill Says, if That's So. He Has
No Further Complaint Wheel
er Less Lenient.
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.

Platters Take
Game from the
Peru Prepsters
Score of 34 to 16 Rolled Up by
Locals Who Play a High Class
Quality of Basketball
From Saturday's Daily-
A Plattsmouth high school basket
ball team filled with the old time fire
and pep was on the floor last eve
ning at the local gym against the
Bobkittens from the Peruvian hills,
and out shooting, out guarding and
generally outplaying the visitors,
rolled up a score of 34 to 16 against
the Peru Prepsters.
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:

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.
