Johnson May Relax
Bill to Curb Power
For Radio Stations
•y Mm AuaclataM Ptm*
„ Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado hinted today he might
agree to tone down his controversial
radio bill.
1 “I’m very much interested in
•topping the drive for increased
power,” he said. But he added that
'he “wouldn't be hard to get along
with” on the question of clear
-channels.
As now written, his bill would
amend the 1034 Communications
.Act to (1) limit the power of stand
ard broadcasting stations to 50,000
watts and (3) eliminate the 34 1-A
clear channels now remaining In
this country.
A clear channel is used by more
than one station during the day,
but at night is used only by the
station holding a 1-A classifica
tion.
It Stations Organise.
Sixteen of the 1-A stations are
Reeking to increase their power to
750,000 watts. They have formed
an organization known as the Clear
Channel Broadcasting Service.
Senator Johnson said his bill
never would have been introduced
if the group had not pressed for
higher power before the Federal
Communications Commission. His
measure is being considered by the
Senate Commerce Committee.
Hie FCC has been considering
the matter for three years. It had
about reached the decision • point
when the Commerce Committee
asked that it be withheld pending
disposition of the Johnson bill.
Standard radio stations now are,
in effect, limited to 50,000-watt
power. Senator Johnson's bill, if
passed, would write this limitation
into law.
The committee arranged today to
begin hearing the first of more than
40 witnesses favoring the bill. De
spite the large number, committee
aides expressed hope that the hear
ings could be ended by Wednesday
night. If so, the matter will be
considered in closed sessions.
Opponents took five days In their
attack on the measure. They
charged that it would, among other
things, prevent rural listeners from
receiving adequate United States
radio reception, restrict progress in
standard radio broadcasting and
open the door to foreign stations to
attract United States listeners.

O'Dwyer Promises
Answer on Transit
Fares by April 27
By th* Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 12.—Mayor
William O’Dwyer has promised a
"yes” or "no” answer before April
27 on whether the city’s 5-cent
transit fare will be increased to
cover growing deficits of the Board
of Transportation.
Possibility that the city might
take over private transportation
lines arose again yesterday as the
Mayor arrived home from Cali
fornia after a short rest to take
command in the imminent transit
crisis.
Asked at a news conference if he
had discussed with his advisers the
question of absorbing the private
bus lines. Mayor O'Dwyer told the
questioner that he was "slightly
warm.”
Told of 50 Million Cost.
It was reported unofficially that
the Mayor had been told that if
private companies should surrender
their franchises it would cost the
city up to $50,000,000 during the
next three years to replace worn
out and obsolete equipment.
Several private companies, some!
of which they are reported willing
to surrender their franchises, have
contended they cannot meet ex
penses, much less grant wage in
creases, at the 5-cent fare.
The mayor promised the fare de
cision after a two-hour conference
with his Executive Committee on
Administration.
Spread of Strike Threatened.
A work stoppage of 375 drivers
and maintenance men which has
halted six private Manhattan, bus
routes since last Tuesday threatens
to- spread to other buslines unless
union wage demands are met. The
CIO Transport Workers’ Union is
pressing for a showdown on its de
mands for a general 30 cents an
hour pay rise and other benefits
for the city’s 45,000 transit workers.
And union leaders have indicated
a possibility of a city-wide transit
tleup.
Mayor O’Dwyer selected April 27
as a deadline for announcing de
cision on a fare increase because
on that day the Board of Estimate
must approve the 1948-49 fiscal year
expense budget and send it to the
City Council for action.
Several city financial officials
have said a fare increase—a political
football for many years—is the
only cure for Board of Transporta
tion deficits. They said also that
union pay demands cannot be met
at the present faie rate.
Million Contributed
To Journalism School
1/ th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 12.—Columbia
University’s graduate school of
journalism has received more than!
$1,000,000 in recent years "for the1
advancement of journalism abroad
and at home," Dean Carl W. Ack
erman says in his annual report,
released yesterday.
The report to Dr. Frank D. Fack
enthal, acting president of Colum
bia, listed specific gifts of $1.061,2501
by friends and former students.
The school, Dean Ackerman said,
"has become one of the international
centers of press activities."
The report said the school has
received invitations from newspap
ers and educational institutions in
18 foreign countries for advice and
aid in the establishment of schools
or courses in journalism in Europe,
Asia and Latin America.
After listing major gifts, Dean
Ackerman said "all of this money
was contributed after we changed
from an undergratuate to an ex
clusively graduate school of Journal
ism 12 years ago." He said the re
cent contributions were the only
"substantial sums” given to Colum
bia for Journalism since the original
gifts made by the late Publisher
Joseph Pulitzer.

Whistle-Blowing Pickets
Stopped at Exchanges
By th> Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 12.—Striking
union employes of the New York
Stock and Curb Exchanges used a
new tactic mass whistle-blowingg in
their picketing today, but were
stopped by police.
Shortly before the exchanges .open
ed for trading, the pickets began
blowing police-type whistles in
unison. After each whistle blast,
they would yell: ‘‘Who blows the
whistle?”
The question was taken from leaf
lets distributed in the financial dis
trict. The leaflets said Police Com
missioner Arthur Wallander was
shifting policemen from school traf
fic duty to strike detail outside the
exchanges.
The strike entered its third week
this morning with about 300 persons
picketing the Stock and Curb Ex

When the blow had no effect,
the policeman drew his blackjack
and struck Barber over the head.
The prisoner backed up in the cell
and rushed forward again toward
the door. As Pvt. Hafps grabbed at
him, Barber kicked the policeman
in the groin.
Pvt. Harps then struck Barber
j several more blows with the black
jack after which the prisoner
seemed in a “dazed condition.” He
was removed to Casualty Hospital
in a patrol wagon, treated for scalp

The policeman was treatet! at

Czech Refusal to Join
In Debating Charges
Raises New U.N. Issue
By th» Associated Press
LAKE SUCCESS, April 12.—Re
fusal of the Czechoslovak govern
ment to debate charges against it
raised a new question today for the
Security Council.
A formal Council session was set
for this afternoon to receive the
Prague government’s answer to an
invitation extended last week to
take part in the discussion.
The Council is considering charges
by Chile that Russia interfered in
Czechoslovak affairs and helped
Communists there seize the govern
ment in February. It must decide
what to do next.
Lie Notified of Action.
Vladimir Houdek, Czechoslovak
envoy, notified Trygve Lie, United
Nations secretary-general, late Sat
urday that his government would
not appear before the Council. His
letter to Mr. Lie said the discussion
of internal matters of Czechoslo
vakia in the Security Council is
contrary to the basic principles of
the U. N. charter.
Council members who had
planned to call for a subcommittee
to investigate the Chilean charges
said they would study the case
again.
They said they did not favor set
ting up another commission which
would meet the fate of the Balkans
and Korean commissions, both of
which have been barred by Slav
states from carrying out the order?
of the U. N. Assembly.
Gromyko Speech Expected.
Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy
Foreign Minister, was reported
ready to deliver a 30-page speech
on the Czechoslovak case. He was
prepared to speak last week but
decided against it after the Council
voted to Invite the Prague govern
ment to send a representative. He
has objected to the case at every
turn.
China, meanwhile, was said to be
requesting that the Assembly take
in Burma as the 58th member
promptly. The Assembly will con
vene Friday.
Burma was approved by the
Security Council Saturday. Mr.
Gromyko vetoed Italy. The appli
cations of 10 others, Ireland, Portu
gal, Trans-Jordan, Finland, Aus
tria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria,
Albania and Outer-Mongolia were
kept on the shelf when it became
clear none could overcome the
Council hurdle.

As Senators Launch
Farm Plan Hearings
>y tin Associated Press
A Senate group opens hearings
today on a long-range farm pro
gram.
Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont, termed it “probably is the
most important legislation before
the Congress this year."
Secretary of Agriculture Ander
son was listed as the first witness
before the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee.
“In the long run, nothing is so
important to the peace of the World
and the stability of the United States
as an ample supply of food and
fibre in the next few years.” Aiken
told a reporter. “Unless we have
ample supplies of food at stable
prices, we are in for serious trouble.”
Profit Is Not Assured,
“One thing this bill does not do,
is to insure farmers a profit,” he
said. “All it does is insure them
against disaster. In return they
must agree to produce adequate
quantities of the things we need
for our population, for our indus
tries and for those we are aiding
elsewhere in the world in the battle
for freedom.” ,
In general the long-range farm
program assembles all the various
Federal farm programs and acts of
the past 16 years and fits them into
a permanent plan.
“This is not a Republican nor a
New Deal bill,” Senator Aiken said.
“It was developed after months of
field hearings and staff work on a
non-partisan basis. No single farm
group or section would approve
everything in it.”
Objectives Outlined.
Senator Aiken said major objec
tives are:
1. Continuation of the soil conser
vation programs with more emphasis
on actual program controls at the
State, local and farm levels.
2. A modernization and revision
of the parity price formula. A par
ity price is one computed to give a
farm product the same purchasing
power it had in a past or base
period. It is the basis of most Gov
ernment price-supporting programs.
3. A system of' graduated Govern
ment price supports by loans, pur
chases or marketing programs.
Senator Aiken said these would
encourage production of farm
products now in short supply and
discourage those that are surplus.
Senator Aiken said action on the
long-range farm act is necessary
now,"because a large number of
temporary wartime farm laws will
expire at the end of this year.”
“We will hold public hearings
for the next two weeks although
they could run for two years,” he
said. “Most of the witnesses will
speak for farm organizations with
some spokesmen from industry.”

Gen. Hurley Assails
Articles on Stilwell
Maj. Gen. Patrick Hurley, fc:n;cr
Ambassador to China, today crit
icized certain articles based on the
diaries of Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell
as “false propaganda intended to
be injurious to Chiang Kai-shek
and the Chinese government and
favorable to the belligerent Com
munist armed party in China.”
In a prepared statement, Gen.
Hurley said he wished "to pay spe
cial attention to the defamatory
book and articles recently published
by Mr. White” (Theodore H. White,
a close friend of Gen. Stilwell
throughout the war and editor of
his diaries.)
Gen. Hurley took exception to Mr.
White's report that Gen. Stilwell
referred to Chiang Kai-shek as "a
peanut who was always non-co
operative with Stilwell.” Gen. Stil
well, who died in 1946, was com
mander of the China-Burma-India
theater.
"Mr. White may quote Stilwell
correctly on some phases of this
story,” Gen. Hurley said. “I am of
the opinion, however, that many of
the quotations which White has at
tributed to Stilwell must be false.”
The former Ambassador submitted
a photostatic copy of "the last mem
orandum I received from Gen. Stil
well prior to his departure from
China,” purporting to Show Chiang
Kai-shek willingness to co-operate.
Dahlsfrom Suspended
By Fire Department
After Driving Arrest
Charged with drunken and reck
less driving after a traffic accident
in Colmar Manor, Md„ {van J. Dal
strom, Fire Department superin
tendent of machinery, yesterday
was suspended from duty after a
Police and Fire Board physician
pronounced him under the influence
of alcohol.
The suspension, ordered by Act
ing Chief Engineer Frank G. Berry
and approved this morning by the
Commissioners, relieves the Fire
Department official from duty "un
til the Board of Police and Fire
Surgeons pronounces him At."
The Fire Department car driven
by Dalstrom rammed into the rear
of an automobile at Thirty-eighth
and Bladensburg road, Colmar
Manor; according to* Lt. Ernest M.
Mulligan of the Coknar Manor po
lice.
Lt. Mulligan said the District
vehicle struck one driven by Ste

S.E. He said Mr. Gill, who was re
leased on $200 bond after a tech

been lodged against him, had
stopped for a traffic light. Neither
man was injured.
Dalstrom said he was on his way
to his home, 5317 Greenway drive,
