;BC Chief
Flays Federal
Radio Ridings
WASHINGTON, ' Dec. Z-(JPh-Assailing
' , "bureaucratic control"
of radio as "a giin aimed at the
heart of all our democratic free
dom," President Niles Trammell
of the National Broadcasting com
pany appealed today for legisla
tive safeguards against federal re
striction, "which would goosestep
an industry."
Trammell told the senate inter
state commerce committee that
past performances have demon
strated radio's devotion to public
service and its acknowledgment
of social obligations so clearly
that government "encroachment"
could serve only to "destroy the
business, shackle the freedom and
arrest the progress of the broad
casting art."
- He heatedly denied that it is
true, as James L. Fly, federal
communications commission
chairman, asserted recently, that
the National Association of
Broadcasters is a "stooge" for the
NBC and the Columbia Broad
casting system.
"Mr. Fly himself knows that
isn't true," Trammell said.
The sepate committee is con
sidering legislation to limit and
define the ; FCC's authority over
broadcasting.

War Bond Ads
Disapproved
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8-(;P)-
The house ways and means com
mittee, apparently siding with the
treasury's views, turned thumbs
down today on the idea of gov
ernment-paid newspaper adver
tising to stimulate war bond sales.
By a vote of 11 to 10, the com
mittee tabled legislation w h i c h
called for outlays of up to $30,-
000,000 for such advertising.
The senate had voted to pro
vide $15,000,000 for the purpose
despite the treasury's assertion
that the present cooperative plan
was working well and that the
space newspapers now accord vol
untarily would cost a minimum
of $100,000,000 a year.
The treasury also had protested
that the legislation amounted to
"a subsidy to certain small news
papers" and would "prove an al
most ' insurmountable hurdle to
the continued promotion of war
bonds."
OPA Raises Prices

Some Vegetables
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 -(JP)

At the same time OPA exempt
ed home canners from price con
trols if they sell less than 1500
