Radio Must Be Fair
L'QUAL treatment of rival candi-
dates and political parties is
demanded by the Federal Commu­
nications commission in new rules
governing broadcasting of political
speeches. Under these regulations
a station may refuse time to all
political candidates for an office,
but if broadcasting privileges are
granted to one candidate, equal
time must be offered to his rivals.
The rule applies to all national,
state, county, and municipal office
seekers. Rates shall be uniform
for all candidates, the FCC rules.

Problem of the South
Here is the new Peace Memorial in the Gettysburg National Military
park which was dedicated by President Roosevelt during the celebration
of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, in which veterans of
the Northern and Southern armies participated. On the top of the shaft
burns “The Flame of Eternal Peace.”

Wants to Regain Post
r)R. ARTHUR E. MORGAN has
started a court fight to regain
the chairmanship of the Tennessee
Valley authority from which he was
ousted by President
Roosevelt for what
the latter termed
“contumacy.”
In
chancery court at
Knoxville, Tenn., he
filed a mandamus
suit asking that he
be recognized as a
member and chair­
man of the board of
directors of the au­
thority.
A. E. Morgan
In the bill, which
named the TVA and Directors H. A.
Morgan and David E. Lilienthal as
defendants, the former chairman
asked for payment of back salary
since his dismissal. He also asked
for a declaratory judgment voiding
the President’s removal order and
forcing the other two directors to
recognize him as their chairman.
Doctor Morgan never has recog­
nized the President’s right to re­
move him. After starting the court
action, he said he would carry his
fight for reinstatement to the Su­
preme court if necessary.
The justice department in Wash­
ington withheld comment on the
suit, but it was a foregone conclu­
sion that the government would con­
test it. Before the President re­
moved Doctor Morgan he asked the
justice department whether this was
within his power. Robert H. Jack-
son, now solicitor general, but then
acting attorney general, advised
“there would appear to be no ques­
tion that the power of removal Is in
fact vested in .the President.”

Tells Cities to Hurry
/"'ITIES of the nation were urged
by Secretary Ickes to make
haste to submit projects for PWA
approval and thus play “a dominat­
ing part in bringing about recov­
ery.”
At the same time he asked busi­
ness to co-operate with the govern­
ment in the $1,600,000,000 building
program, and warned contractors
and private industry not to pay
“graft” to corrupt officials in an at­
tempt to curry political favors in
the form of benefits from PWA con­
struction.
“The success of this recovery
program will depend upon the speed
With which our municipalities
move,” he said. “They will have
to produce faster than before. They
will have to draw their plans more
rapidly, make decisions more quick­
ly and file their applications with
alacrity.
“Involved are jobs for workmen,
the creation of new business for
industrial and commercial con­
cerns, the expansion of factory pay­
rolls, the rejuvenation of transpor­
tation systems, the spread of pur­
chasing power, the expansion of
credit, the stimulation of our securi­
ties and our banks.”
could not be renominated. The
senator was planning to run as an
independent. After hearing from
McNutt, the governor invited the
senator to present his candidacy to
the state convention, and Van Nuys
accepted in the interests of party
harmony.
Corcoran’s purge appears to have
bogged down elsewhere, too. Sena­
tor George of Georgia and Senator
E. D. Smith of South Carolina seem
likely to win renomination. In New
York city Tammany decided to sup­
port Congressman John J. O’Con­
nor, who led the fight against the re­
organization bill, and several other
New York members of the lower
house whom Corcoran had listed for
defeat.

Insists on Reorganization
IN HIS last press conference be-
1 fore starting on his transconti­
nental and Pacific ocean trip. Pres­
ident Roosevelt revealed that he
was still determined to have con­
gress pass a reorganization bill.
Seemingly not at all discouraged
by the defeat of the measure in
the last congress, he said he was
confident the next session would
realize that the country wants such
a law and would enact it. The con­
gressmen who voted to recommit
the measure favored at least 90
per cent of the bill, he said, and
opposed only 10 per cent of it.
------ *------
Trial Fare Raise
O EVERSING a previous ruling,
the interstate commerce com­
mission in a ten-to-one decision au­
thorized eastern railroads to in­
crease basic passenger coach fares
from 2 to 2% cents a mile for a
trial period of 18 months. Commis­
sioner Claude R. Porter cast the
only dissenting vote. Railroads esti­
mate that the increase will mean
$40.000,000 in added revenue a year.
Action was taken on an appeal
by the carriers for reconsideration
of the commission’s initial decision
on March 6, when their original
plea was turned down on a six to
five vote. In seeking a review, the
roads contended the commission
had entered too greatly into the
field of management. This view
was concurred in by several of the
commissioners, who dissented from
the original majority opinion.
---- *----
D E-ESTABLISHING a balanced
economic system in the south­
ern states is considered by Presi­
dent Roosevelt the No. 1 problem
of the nation and he says it must
and can be done. He appealed to I
25 southern leaders, assembled in
Washington at his request, to draft
plans for the economic restoration
of their section of the country. Lew­
is Mellett, director of the National
Emergency council, presided over
the conference and read Mr. Roose­
velt’s letter.
Though he did not comment on
the effect that the new wages and
hours law may have on southern
industry, he did say that one of the
great problems in the South is that
of labor and employment. He spoke
also of problems “growing out of
the new industrial era and, again,
of absentee ownership of the new in­
dustries.”
“It is my conviction,” the Presi­
dent wrote to Mellett, “that the
South presents right now the na­
tion’s number one economic prob­
lem—the nation’s problem, not
merely the South’s. For we have an
economic unbalance in the nation
as a whole, due to this very condi­
tion of the South.
“The purpose of your conference
is to produce a restatement of the
economic conditions of the South
and their relation to the rest of the
country that we may do something
about it.”
The task, Mr. Roosevelt said, em­
braces wasted or neglected re­
sources of land and water; abuses
suffered by the soil; need for cheap
fertilizer and cheap power, and
problems presented by the popula­
tion itself.
---- *----
Urge Garner to Run
IJEFORE he left Washington for
Texas, Vice President Garner
told friends that he positively would
not be a candidate for a third term.
This started imme­
diate speculation on
his probable attitude
toward heading the
Democratic ticket in
1940. It was asserted
by some of his asso­
ciates that Demo­
crats in all parts of
the country were
writing him urging
him to be a candi-
date for the presi-
Vice President dential nomination.
Garner
Senator Logan of
Kentucky said if Garner should seek
the presidential nomination he
would be hard to beat.
Senator Burke of Nebraska said
he believed Garner would be in a
receptive mood if he were offered
the first place on the ticket.
Neither of those statesmen be­
lieves Mr. Roosevelt will seek a
third term, and that seems to be a
general belief in Washington.

Magnificent Cakes Entered.
The judges report that they have
never seen a finer collection of
cakes assembled at one time. Be­
cause almost all the cakes were
so exceptionally good, it was ex­
tremely difficult to choose the win­
ners. But a most careful scoring
system was used, and the cakes
were checked for general appear­
ance, including shape, size and
crust, both color and character;
flavor, including odor and taste;
lightness; crumb, including tex­
ture, rated as to its fineness, ten­
derness, moistness and elasticity,
color and grain.
C. Houston Goudiss has said
that he regrets that every woman
who entered the contest could not
win a prize. He offers his con­
gratulations to the winners and
his thanks to the many other
homemakers who helped to make
this Cake Contest such a splendid
success.
