The evangelist today quoted the Scriptures in justification of his act.

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife," he said. Asked whether, in his opinion, a violation of a commandment justified a killing, he said "No." "But I believe in the unwritten law," he asserted. "I acted to protect my home." Detective John L. Sellers asked Johnson: "If you should be convinced that you were mistaken in your impression that Rue was paying attention to your wife, would you regret what you did?"

Images Relayed By Radio; Prove Television Advance Through "Kinescope" Device Of Attack Against Covington White Woman, After Pleading "Not Guilty," Police Say. Harold Van Venison, Covington Negro accused of a criminal altack upon a white woman on a lonely Kenton County road early August 16, admitted that attack late yesterday, police announced. Venison's confession, made under questioning by Covington Detectives LeRoy Hall and Albert Selter and George Langley, Kenton County Police Chief, followed close upon his return from Aiken, S.

and a few hours after he had pleaded not guilty to indictments charging rape and armed robbery. Officers who witnessed the confession, including Chief John Putt- hoff of Covington police, and Constable Jack Spicer, said the Negro talked without restraint In telling of the attack and events leading to it. Venison declared in the confes sion that the attack was the result of a degree of premeditation on his part and the part of his companion of the night, Donald Lattlmore, Negro, 908 Greenup Street, Coving ton. He said he and Lattlmore, whose plans for "dates" earlier in the evening of August IS had gone awry, sot out, after a bit of drinking, to seek a whitewoman in an automobile on a country road. Finding such car on Dudley Pike near Summit Hills Country Club, they forced it to the side of the road.

Contending their automobile had been damaged, Venison said he and Lattlmore forced the man to give them $7, all the money he had. Lattimore took the money, according to Venison. They then placed the woman and her com panion in his (Venison's) automobile, with Venison driving and Lat tlmore sitting on the back seat with the man and woman. When they drove to a spot on Charter Oak Road, Venison said the white man attempted to hit him. Venison, according to his confession, picked up an automobile crank from the floor of his machine and hit the man with it.

Venison then took the woman from the automobile, forced her from the side of the road, and attacked her. He said she appeared to be in fear of him. One thing Venison denied he denied that he had a pistol or any sort of weapon except a knife, which he said he did not flourish until after the attack. MRS. BRIDGET REYNOLDS.

i ings." The division system, he added, has resulted in two members of the commission carrying an "unnecessary load of responsibility and exercising an undesirably large portion of the power and functions of the commission." The Directors w' 3 will be removed are John Killeen, New York, Broadcast I- sion; Robert T. Bartley, Dallas, Texas, Telegraph Division, and A G. Patterson, Birmingham, Telephone Division, Each receives $7,500 a year. McNinch said the commission would find pleasure in obtaining jobs for the three. At a press conference, he announced the reorganization will not affect the commission's investigation of the telephone industry, which is being directed by Commissioner Paul A.

Walker. He promised a report on the inquiry to Congress by Tmuary 1. setup that did not call for a broadcast, tho effoct was considerably better. Then the problems of transmission and reception did not enter. The projection tube was only a part of the demonstration, put on to give the motion picture engineers a glimpse at the progress being made in the New York City field tests started more than a year ago by engineers of the Radio Cor poration of America and the Na tional Broadcasting Company.

In addition there were 15 receiv ers across one side of another room displaying images seven' by ten inches directly on the end of the reproducing tubes. On all but two of these sets the pictures were in black and white, regarded as an improvement in visibility over the green shade previously used. The two sets, with green images, were operated to show the contrast. In introducing the demonstration, David Sarnoff, President of RCA, made it clear that "television Is today and 'unfinished product," but he did foresee in it "another vigorous Industry which will provide many new avenues of employment and will furnish opportunities to the younger generation looking for careers in new fields." The projection tube is housed in a long metal can mounted on a pedestal and resembles a machine gun more than anything else. Besides its own receiver, it requires two large boxes of amplifiers and other equipment to make it function.

Kwcpt uirff naiiirs mini Pressmen, Home Jidltlon aad Chauffeurs Majority Leader Returns From Six-Week-Visit In Europe's Capitals. New York, October 14 (AP) Senate majority leader Alben W.

Barkley of Kentucky returned home from Europe today with the prediction Congress would dispose speedily of the President's program. "It looks like we will get the farm control bill, wages and hours legislation, government reorganization, regional planning and strengthening of the anti-trust laws out of the way by Christmas," he said. Barkley, who returned on the liner Rex from a six-week stay In Europe, during which he attended the inter-parliamentary conference in Paris, said he was not surprised at the President's call for a special session November 15. SHORT SESSION URGED. "I knew the President would call one if the farm control legislation seemed urgent," he said.

"It will shorten the regular session very decidedly and I am sure everyone wants a shorter session, although it must not be shortened inconsistently with legislative needs." As for government reorganization and taxation, he asserted: "I can say there seems to be no increase of taxes necessary in any place. "We are making an honest et-fort to curtail expenses and if the government reorganization bill Is; put through approximately 130' emergency departments will he centralized." The Senator was accompanied on his arrival by a daughter, Mrs. Max O. Pruitt, Washington. They left immediately for Paducah, Ky.

Barkley said he believed it would not be linked with any discussions of the Securities Exchange Commission because "that is separate and if any changes are to be made there I am sure the commission will advise Congress independently of legislation." Barkley said he could see no danger of a war in Europe.

"There Is a crisis every week or two," he admitted, "but it would take a Whole lot more than that and a whole lot more than another 1914 to start a war in Europe now."
