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."

this year's corn crop.

entirely completed the work.
In line with other improvements

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.

Low Federal
Taxes on Liquor
are Favored
Wet-Dry Differences Appear Early at
Conference Representatives of
Five States Attend.
Des Moines, la., Oct. 26. The rec
ommendation that federal taxes on
liquor be kept as low as possible to
avoid encouraging bootleggers and
illifit mnniif.qftnrp of liminr vrs
made by an interstate liquor control
conference meeting here today.
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. Mathias Wuhr. 34
year old coal miner cf Minto, New
Brunswick, Canada, was awarded a
silver medal by the Carnegie hero
fund commission for saving two men
and attempting to rescue another

other heroic acts. Six of the heroes
sacrificed their lives and the medals

gregating $l,G0O a year were award
ed to dependents of three. Sums to
taling $1,500 were given to the par
ents cf two others. One of the heroes
was injured and he was awarded
benefits of $1,000 and a pension of
$7S0 a year for life.
STEEL COMBINE PROPOSED
Berlin. 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.

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. Millions of dol
lars in foreign products could be
shipped in here without hurting our
