vision is just around the corner"
This latest entreaty comes from
Chairman Aiming S. Prall Of the
Federal Communications Commission.
In measured terms he told meeting
of the National Emergency Council
of Philadelphia a week ago that,
while giant strides have been made
in television development, it Is still
almost anybody's guess when it will
become a practical medium OF mass
entertainment.
The cue for Mr.. Prall's warning
was the forthcoming technical con-
ference to be held by the F. c. c., at
which the present status Of television,
of facsimile or still picture" trans

radio services will be appraised. He

No to the United states were dis
patched today to washington and

Deep disappointment was felt
In League circles over news that
present neutrality legislation in
America would be extended for
one year, without limiting ex-
ports of oil and other war essen
tials to the pre-1935 level.
Disputed by Italians
Nevertheless, the technicians'
conclusions were not to the liking
of the Italians, as indicated by
an Italian military authority's
statement that an oil embargo
would be futile even with Amer
ican cooperation. He said:
The experts report is
prejudiced. It underestimates
Italy's oil stocks and Overesti-
mates our needs"
Italy'S requirements for the
campaign in Ethiopia are 10000
tons of gasoline a month, he said,
whereas the report estimates war
needs at 10000 to $4,000 tons.
Free Port Oh Stocks
The italian said his country
also has oil stocks at certain free
ports. He refused to name them,
but Trieste is presumed to be
one.
The long report drafted after
thorough investigation Of the
situation by a committee Of ex.
perts, said an oil ban would
prove effective in blocking Italy's
war in three or three and a half
months If America limited oil
shipments to normal"

COMPROMISE IS PENDING IN FISH
 BOAT CHARGES
Government Weighs Case of Men Accused of
 Illegal Fishing

Negotiations for compromise are pending today between the govern ment and the operators of the four fishing boats seized by the Coast Guard Cutter Tallapoosa.
 The proposal is said to call for the dropping of all proceedings against the boats and cargoes, providing the men plead guilty before Commis- sioner M. E. Monagle to fishing after season. The charge constitutes a misdemeanor, and the accused men are liable to a maximum sentence of 5000 fine and one year in jail.
 Thirty-one men were employed on the four boats, and they are being represented by Attorney H. L. Faulk- ner. Assistant District Attorney George w Folta, acting on informa- ton furnished him by Lieutenant Miles Inlay, commander of the Tal- lapoosa, handled proceedings for the government.
 It is estimated that there are 98,- 900 pounds of fish aboard the vessels, which is liable to government auc- ton by the Bureau of Fisheries, along with forfeiture of the ships, should criminal charges be pressed in their entirety.
 The ships seized include: The Sea- bird of Seattle, Captain Jacob Cleve- land; the Pioneer of Ketchikan Captain lngvold Hansen; The North of Ketchikan, Captain Nels Borvick and the Wireless of Seattle, Captain M Ekron. They were conveyed tc Juneau yesterday by the Tallapoosa and are now tied up at the Govern ment Dock
