RADIO COMMISSION
CONSIDERS CASE ON
NEWSPAPER RIGHTS
Pennsylvania Publisher De.
mands Right to Operate
Station Of His Own

Washington, Oct. -R- The
radio commission Tuesday heard
what was regarded as a test case to
determine the rights of newspapers
to engage In broadcasting competition
with existing community stations.
The Sun Gazette company Of WILL
Transport, Pa, publishers of the Will
Transport Sun and Gazette & Bulle-
tin, opened the question.
An application of the company
asked permission to operate new
station to share time with station
WRAK, an existing station at Viii
Transport, now operating on full
time. The application was opposed
by the owner Of WRAK, C.. r. Cum
Minis.
Elisha Hanson, counsel for the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociation, In opening the case, said it
was considered by the National asso-
ciation and the Pennsylvania state
branch q test to protect the advertis-
Ing rights Of newspapers.
I'VE are Interested" he told the
commission, because anyone has the
freedom to enter the newspaper busi-
ness while radio stations are more or
less in protected position by the IL
cense they hold from the radio COM
mission"
Cummins' chief defense was a
claim that the Pennsylvania charter
held by the Publishing company linn
its it to newspaper publishing, saying
under state law the company has no
right to engage in business except
that authorized by it's charter.
George E. Graft, president of the
Publishing company. said newspapers
and radio can best serve public in
terest by working together, adding
radio broadcasting is "of large assist
ance" to newspapers.
Pleading for a more open field III
broadcasting. he said the newspaper
business Is "a survival of the fittest."
If radio Is opened in the same
way, the public unerringly will give
support to the station that pleases it
BEST" he continued.

SOVIET RUSSIA is
KEEPING ON SIDELINES

Moscow, Oct. 2l.-(ReSoviet Rus
sia is remaining on the sidelines as an
interested observer without open
commitment as to her policy regard
ing the conflict between Japan and
China in Manchuria.
Moscow,s deep interest in the jap
anese occupation Of parts OF southern
Manchuria Is unconcealed, but thus
far no Official expression has been
given to Russia,S position.
Observers agree the Soviet Union is
much too occupied with its own gi-
gantic tasks Of industrialization to
desire any interruption.
On the other hand, Japan's owner
ship Of valuable Soviet coal and oil
concessions in Sakhalin give rise to q
belief in some quarters that Japan
has very definite reasons to protect
Russia's interests in Manchuria.

PATRON COMPLAINS
OF TROLLEY SERVICE.
Tells Traction Company Ken
Sington Schedule Makes
Him Late for Work.

Four years ago the Capital Traction
Co. changed the schedule on its Ken
s!ngton line, and H. S. Bean of Ken
sington, Md, stopped riding because the
8:2l did not allow him enough margin
to reach his desk In the Bureau of
Standards on time. The other morning
Mr.. Bean, for change. went to work
M Capital Traction car. and for the
nrSt time in nearly two years he had
to sign late slip.
In substance this is a complaint Mr.
Bean filed with the Capital Traction
editor OF The Star. The letter also con-
tains protest against the recent
change in schedule on the Kensington
line which sends the S:2l away from
Kensington at 1927.
Mr.. Bean pointed out that there is no
automobile parking problem at the Blu
reau OF Standards, so that his objection
to using tie automobile to get to work
is existent. However. he said: II
have used and would continue to use
the street car service mere or less regll-
larly if such service were convenient.
because of the freedom from personal
care and auto, and also because the
street car ride affords me approximately
half an hours raeding time which l
would otherwise miss"
In your recent street car placards and
Behind the Plow' leaflets" he told the
company. you exhort the people living
along your line to use the street cars,
but if that street car service does not
get them where they want to be at the
time they must be there. without re-
curing them to leave their homes more
than half an hour earlier than seems
necessary, we are not going to use the
street cars"

COMMITTEE ON RAIL POOL

by the Association of Railway Execu-

1--WE TO the is per cent freight rate
increase sought by the carriers will
meet in New York Thursday afternoon
70 complete work on its findings, which
WIZ pe submitted at a meeting OF the
association the following day.
Inc railroads were given until De-
cemoer ! to present a proposal to the
commission when it denied the hori-
zontal rate increase and suggested in
stead that charges of from SO to Sc per
car be levied on certain commodities to
build up fund to which those carriers
needing this assistance to meet their
obligations would have access.
The more prosperous lines have con-
tended that any advances of this nature
should be in the form OF loans rather
than outright gifts.
