Wescott's Since 1879 Seek to Curb Radio Libel by Keeping Copies Sirovich Will Ask Congress to Pass Law Compelling Stations to Record Everything. Washington, Oct. 27. Legislation requiring radio broadcasting stations to record and preserve in permanent form every word spoken over them, to prevent damaging statements and to provide reference basis in libel cases, vill be introduced when congress con venes ni January, Rep. William . Sirovich (D.), New York, announced Friday. Dr. Sirovich said the radio should be on the same level with newspapers with regard to injurious and libel ous statements transmitted by them and that therefore an exact mechan ical record of all broadcasts should be made available for consultation. He said: "Protests have come in by hundreds from people who say they have been mistreated by radio utterances, but there is now no record on which to base charges." Senator Wallace H. White jr. (R.), Maine, agreed the existing situation regarding governmental supervision of radio statements was unsatisfac tory and said the legislative possi bilities would be studied with a view to rectification of abuses. Officials of the federal radio com mission looked with favor on the pros pect of placing an effective check on injurious radio speech. A member of the commission said: "There exist no regulations for compelling stations to pre serve a cory of all their pro grams. Legislation to this end Avould be useful and provide a needed safeguard against dam aging expression by wireless." WALL STREET INFUENCED Washington. Albert II. Wiggin, retired chief of the Chase National bank, believe3 public opinion has an effect on Wall street. After the sen ate banking committee had traced extensive stock market operations in the past by the bank's Chase secur ities affiliate and subsidiaries, Ferdi nand Pecora, committee counsel, ask ed Wiggin: "Do you think that a national bank affiliate should engage in stock mar ket speculation of the kind that you then had in mind?" "No sir, if for no other reason than respect for public opinion," replied Wiggin. "Oh," exclaimed Senator Couzens, "so public opinion does have some effect on Wall street?" "I think that it has a pretty good effect," said Wiggin, going on to say that he would not do anything "to day that, if it turne dout unfortunate, was going to be criticized."

Joe Rauth was in Manley, accom panied by the family, and they were doing some shopping while Joe was getting seme lumber for placing the crib in condition for the reception of this year's corn crop. Leonard Sehaeffer, of Lincoln, son of Uncle George Sehaeffer, was in Manley and painted almost the entire heme of his father, but was called away to his road work before he had entirely completed the work.

Harold Krecklow has just com pleted cabs for three tractors for the county, to be used on the tractors driven by Ralph Murphy, Oscar Dow ler and John Gruber.

John and Frank Palicek, of Plattsmouth, were enjoying a pheasant hunt at Chambers, Spencer and other points in the north where the hunting was fine, they going on Saturday and returning home on Tuesday evening, getting their full quota of birds, and my oh me, how good they did taste. Mrs. Boardman Very Sick Mrs. Lawrence Boardman who has been ill at her home in Manley, still remains in a very critical condition. While everything possible in the line of nursing and medical attention has been done for the patient her condi tion is far from pleasing and the family and friends are deeply con cerned about her welfare. Looking for Bank Bobbers One cf the deputy sheriffs of Doug las county, a Mr. Jones, with a posse of five men from Omaha, was in Man ley last Wednesday looking for the robbers of the Nebraska City bank, having a suspicion that they might a "lie-in-wait' place here until the matter had blown over. However, the efforts cf this man and his posse were futile, for it seems the robbers had sped away to Norfolk and pulled off another high handed bank robbery there on Friday, getting an even greater amount of cash than their visit at Nebraska City had netted them. Steals Gloves and Caps 1 Some parties came to the store of Rudolph Bergmann cn last Saturday night and were loafing about the Btore. While they wore ? there, Miss Margaret Bergman ; came up; and as she was about to enter had her at tention attracted by the actions of one of the party who was apparently stealing some articles of merchandise. She stepped back, and as It was dark outside, was able to watch the man without being: noticed. When she was sure that her suspicions were correct, she entered the store and told her father who went after the man, find ing two caps and some gloves in his possession. He took them from the culprit and told him to get out and stay away from the store in the fu tUFe, but as he was drunk he fol lowed back into the store, whereupon Mr. Bergman forcibly ejected him from his store and pushed him out Jnto the street warning him not to come back. It seems as though he was lucky inasmuch as Mr. Bergman did not press charges against him. In city stores when shoplifters are caught they are usually "shook down" for an amount several times the value of the good3 or given a ride in the police patrol. Mrs. Elizabeth Elemnie Poorly Mrs. R. Bergman and mother, Mrs. John Koop and Mrs. Harold Koop were over to Nehawka on last Wed nesday to see Mrs. Elizabeth Fleinme, who is well along in years and very poorly. She is the mother of Mrs. John Koop and grandmother of Mrs. Bergman and Mrs. Harold Koop.

Representatives of five states at tended, at the invitation of Governor Clyde L. Herring of Iowa. They agreed to urge this stand in tele grams to be sent to President Roose velt by liquor committees or officials of the respective states. The conference also agreed that taxation and license fees should be reasonably uniform as between states where a licensing and taxing system is adopted. 5 States Represented. States represented at the confer ence included Illinois, Wisconsin, In diana, Nebraska and Iowa. Differences of opinion between the so-called wet and dry states cropped out early. Predicting "there won't be much uniformity," Senator Harry W. Bol- ens, chairman of the Wisconsin com mission, declared that "the wet states won't be dictated to bjvthe dry, nor will the dry ones allow the wet states to tell them what they should do." Gentral Tinley Presides. Attorney General Paul F. Good of Nebraska had expressed hope that other states which probably will leg alize liquor before Nebraska does, would co-operate with his state in enforcement of its dry laws. The resolution favoring steps to encourage only moderate federal tax ation on intoxicating liquors was drafted by a resolutions committee composed of Rev. Stoddard Lane, Iowa; Senator Ward, Illinois; Good, Nebraska: Bolens. Wisconsin: and Paul P. Fry, director of excise of In diana. Brigadier General M. A. Tinley Council Bluffs, is chairman of the Iowa commission. COAL MINER GIVEN MEDAL Pittsburgh.

Boards of four of the most important German iron and steel concerns met in Berlin and resolved to submit to respective shareholders' meetings in Essen on Nov. 29. a pro ject for a joint working agreement. Industrial circles regarded this as the biggest deal of its kind in recent years. The project was described as a combination of working interests on the basis of financial concentra tion with, however, a "deconcentra tion" of production. Each concern would confine itself in the future to producing its own specialties. Probed for s t V ) IT-; . .

J, on the dy the Lindbergh baby was kidnaped, Bryan Sending Alien to Farm Conference Brother-in-law Carrying Governor's Four-Point Program to Des Moines Conference. Lincoln, Neb. A four-point na tional program was announced Thurs day by Governor Bryan as his recom mendation to the Des Moines farm conference, next Monday. He will send his brother-in-law, T. S. Allen, Lincoln attorney, to represent Ne braska. Again emphasizing his belief that an "increase in the amount of basic money in circulation is necessary," Bryan named these four "specific remedies." 1. Payment of the Fourth Liberty loan in new currency to reduce the national debt, the in terest bearing charge on the tax payers and to add new money. 2. Payment of war veterans' adjusted compensation claims in new currency to spread money "where it will do some good." 3. Immediate action by the federal government "against profiteers who are taknig advan tage of the public." 4. Reduction of the tariff so "foreign countries can sell goods to get money to buy our surplus farm products." Bryan said from 1913 to 1921, America's farm surplus went into world markets because of the demo cratic low tariff. "When in 1921, the Harding ad ministration shut off the customers for farmers' goods by raising the tar iff, exports of farm products cre curtailed 50 per cent in the first year after the tariff went into effect," he added. "Since deflation and shutting our market, tho only answer has been to tell us to reduce production, n other words, if you're hungry Just cinch up your belt.
