The film gave Rudy many chances to sing botIl new numbers and ones which he features so successfully on the air, Tn the latter class come "The Drunkard's Song" and "Outside" the second of which was written by one of the boys in Rudy's band several years ago. Most capti. vating of the filmusical's tunes, al least to us, was "Every Day"

BUS REGULATION
DEBATE TO BEGIN
Senate GrappIes With Cues
ton of Interstate Com
mission Control.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate is slated to begin de-
bate this afternoon on the latest pro-
posal for Federal regulation of inter-
state motor bus and truck carriers, a
subject that has been considered IN
congressional committees at intervals
during the last nine years.
The pending measure, reported from
the Interstate Commerce Committee
a few days ago by Chairman Wheeler,
would place this form Of tranSporta-
tion under the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The general plan Of regulation pro-
posed is to empower the commission
20 approve rate schedules Of such car
riers, including joint rates between
carriers, and to require bus and truck
operators to obtain certificates of pub
lie convenience and necessity in order
to engage in interstate business.
Companies Qualified.
The bill provides, however, that all
carriers that were in operation in 1884
shall be entitled to such certificates
without being required to offer any
further proof that public convenience
and necessity will be served by such
operation. Existing operators would
have 100 days from passage of the bill
to apply for those automatic certlfl-
Gates.
In addition to common carriers OF
both passengers and property, the bill
would regulate trucking concerns that
operate on a contract basis.
No regulation is proposed for pri-
vate carriers-those who transport
their own goods-except that the COM
mission would be authorized to con-
troll the qualifications and maximum
hours of employees and safety of oper-
alton and equipment, If the commits
sion decides there Is need for such
regulation.
In order to protect the public against
personal injury, or loss or damage to
property. the carriers to subject the
bill would have to file surety bonds
insurance policies or other security be-
fore being licensed to operate in inter-
state commerce.
Another phase of the regulatory
plan is the licensing of brokers who
sell or arrange for transportation
service.
The bus and truck control measure
is one of three bills recommended to
this Congress by Joseph B. Eastman
Federal co-ordinator of transportation,
designed to bring about general i'm
provement in transportation condi-
tions throughout the country. In re-
porting the bill to the Senate the
committee said there has been an ex-
traordinary growth Of highway trans
portation in recent years, with motor
carriers for hire extending into all
sections.
Regulation of motor carriers within
State limits is in effect in varying
degrees In nearly all of the States
and the District of Columbia. The
committee report points out that Al
States and the District have intrastate
regulation of common carriers OF
passengers, and that "a States and
the District regulate common carriers
Of property.
