The way things look now down Washington way, the application of various educational organizations for more time on the air and for a realIocation of stations to give better break to the independents won't be settled until the late win ter. Even after the current hear. ings are completed, the radio di- vision of the federal communica. tions commission plans to take many weeks for study before mak- ing any final decision.
 Should the decision go to the petitioners, it would mean better channels and more power for the indies and would be a severe blow to the wealthy nets.

PRESIDENT EXPANDS
PRESS CODE VIEWS.
Says He Wants Rule Of Reason
Applied to Working Out
Hour Schedule.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt wants the rule
Of reason to apply in working out the
newspaper code.
In an informal discussion of 1t to-
day at the White House, the President
said the main object was to work out
the newspaper agreement in such a
way that more people would be given
employment.
He has no idea of regulation regard
ing working periods of long hours to
be followed by vacations, but expects
the publishers themselves to work
out the situation.
So far as using men IS or 10 hours
a week and permitting them to ac-
cumulate long vacations, he does not
think that would work so well.
In response to inquiries, the Presi-
dent said he also expected newspaper
press associations to work out code.
He has not considered any specific
ideas for such code, but he made 1t
plain he wants one.

Sees u. S. Faced
With Ownership
OF More Forests
Private Control Declared
to Haze Failed in Its
Obligations.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government was advised yester-
day to face the possibility of public
ownership of the Nations forests, if
necessary, rather than have migra-
tory communities.
F. A. Silcox, chief of the Forest
Service, told a House committee hear
ing on the Agriculture Department
appropriation bill the forest program
had to be fitted in with other admin
istration plans to take care of those
more or less permanently thrown out
of work by machine advancements.
Declaring wooded sections would
have to contribute tremendously" he
said:
1T is perfectly obvious that the
solution of the forest problem must
either
First, provide for a great enlarge
ment of the area Of public ownership,
or,
Second, devise some method which
will bring about a radical change In
the attitude and effort Of private
ownership, which has so far con-
spicuously failed in measuring up
either to its obligations or its oppor-
tunities. or.
Third, provide for combination
of both"

MEDLEY PUSHES
S|GNBOARD BILL
Compromise Measure Sold
to Committee by ArIing-
ton Delegate.
By q star Correspondent of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, February 21.-
Following weeks of effort, Delegate
William D. Medley yesterday sue
ceeded in having the House General
Laws Committee report bill to tax
and regulate billboards.
The bill was a compromise measure
drafted by a subcommittee consisting
Of Medley and Delegates Robert W..
Moffat of Portsmouth and John B.
Oliver of Bedford. The task of SELL
ing" the bill to the committee proper,
however, was left to Medley, who
finally was forced to threaten support
of a more stringent measure unless
his bill was approved.
While not as strong as desired by
a number of organizations, the substi-
tute was the best that could be put
through the committee, and it is felt
by patrons that 1t is start in the
right direction.
Carries SIS Tax Provision.
Under the terms of the bill, all bill
board companies. regardless of the
number of signs operated, would be
taxed SIS annually, with further tax
of so cents annually on signs of not
more than so square feet, Sl.50 from
so to $50 feet and 81 on those of more
than $50 feet.
Out-of-State concerns doing bus1-
ness in the State would be required to
post bond of $500 with the State
Highway Commission to guarantee OBJ
servance of the regulations.
Signs would be prohibited within
800 feet of intersections, except that
the State Highway Commission, which
would issue licenses and enforce the
regulations, might lessen this distance
in certain instances where the signs
would not be hazard to public safety.
Clear visibility of 400 feet would be
required at curves.
Commission Granted Broad Powers.
The Highway Commission, or its
agents, is given authority to enter
either public or private property for
the purpose of removing signs illegally
erected There are no setback require
ments.
The House Finance Committee, by
vote of to Z. voted to report the bill
placing license tax on doctors Of
$40 annually for the first five years Of
practice and SIS thereafter, except in
cities of more than 5000. where the
tax would be $40 for the first five
years and s25 thereafter.
Drs. John A. Gibson of Leesburg and
G. F. Simpson of Purcellville ap-
peared against the proposed tax, and
Chairman Wilbur C. Hall said that he
would oppose it on the floor.
Tag Reduction Bill Reported.
The Senate Roads Committee re-
ported the license tax reduction bill
with an amendment providing that
cities and towns shall not impose
local license tax in excess of the State
tax. The bill had previously been re-
ported with an amendment limiting
the localities tax to so per cent of
the State tax, but was rec0mmitted.
This same committee also reported
the Weaver bill abolishing the con-
struction districts comprising the State
highway system end increasing the
membership cf the Highway Conmis-
sion from four to eight.

NEW YORK. May 16.-The Navy
won the war, Magistrate Casey ruled
in his Queens Court, thereby settling
a l4-year argument between Clifford
Brooker and his wife, Lillian.
Brooker served in Company C, 1O6th
Infantry, in the World War, and his
wife was a yeomanette attached to
the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Their long quarrel reached a climax
Saturday night. Brooker presented
the Army's side of the question so
forcibly that his wife had him ar
rested for diSorderly conduct.
The case was called yesterday.
If your husband tells you that the
Navy won the war, will you be salts
fied?" Magistrate Casey asked Mrs.
Brooker.
She said she would.
Whereupon the court ruled:
THE judicial determination, so far
as the happiness of the Brokers is
concerned, is that the Navy won the
war. Is that right, Brooker?"
BROKER nodded, and the judge sus-
pended sentence.
