...Radio Control, the long session of the 69th could not agree on "An Act for the regulation of radio communications"; the short session did. Last week with his signature President Coolidge made the White-Dill bill into law. A commission of five will regulate radio for one year; thereafter the Secretary of Commerce will be acting tsar (TIME...
...From the Speaker's platform of the House of Representatives, President Coolidge delivered a birthday eulogy of George Washington. He did not flay the modern biographers.

Last week, for example, one Floyd Hewitt, 16, of Conneaut, Ohio, listened with Mrs. Frederick Brown and her small son Frederick Jr. to jazz music on the Browns's radio, until he "couldn't stand it any longer." Then he made advances to Mrs. Brown, gave chase, seized Frederick's baseball bat, caught Mrs. Brown on the stairs, clubbed her dead, chased Frederick into the cellar, around the furnace, caught and clubbed him dead...
