BEEXPER|MENTA[
F. c. c. Restriction Recon-.
mended Until Effects Are
Determined.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Communications Com
mission was urged yesterday to keep
television on an experimental basis
until 1t has determined what effect 1t
will have on radio broadcasting, news
papers and the motion picture in
dustry.
T. A. M. Craven, the commission's s
chief engineer, made the recommenda-
tion IN . report in which he proposed
q broad investigation to chart a def
mite, longtime radio and television
policy. made necessary by swift tech
nical progress.
The commission. after reading
Craven's report, fixed June Is as q
date for a public hearing at which
all radio and television interests will
be represented.
Must Determine Competition.
Outlining the present broad fea-
lures Of the broadcasting and tele-
vision industries, Craven said the
commission must determine to what
extent it would permit radio communi-
cations companies to compete with
telegraph and telephone companies.
Economic factors" of televisior
were emphasized by Craven, who said
such matters included the effect pic
ture transmission would have on pres
ent broadcasting. "the existing receiver
manufacturing industry, as well as
the newspaper and motion picture
industry"
BY keeping television on an expert
mental basis, he said. the principa
economic effects could be more &C.
curately predicted before the commits
sion gave consideration to issuing
commercial television licenses.
Would Reserve Frequencies.
As to competition between land
lines and radio. Craven's report sug-
gested that q controlled amount oi
radio competition with land wires ant
submarine cables" be permitted. but
that radio frequencies be reserved
primarily for services which are de.
pendent upon radio rather than wire.
The increasing use of "all-wave'
radios was said to have made {
thorough study of high frequencies
necessary. Such study would enable
the commission to act more intelli'
gently on applications to broadcast OF
these frequencies, Craven said.
The commission, he added, shoult
proceed upon the doctrine of evolu'
ton and experimentation by encour'
aging the development and use of fire.
quencies along such definite lines q!
may indicate from time to time from

E. o. Sykes. chairman of the com
missions broadcast division. said th'
inquiry was designed to take time bs

which would be valuable In mapping

By BLAIR BOLLES.

The Bureau of Home Economics of
the Agriculture Department yesterday
disclosed the secret Of how to feed a
family of three Oh 1882 q week.
The same adequate diet at mini
mum cost" for a man, his wife and .
14-year-old child, however, would cost
but $s.85 in Baltimore. As miles away.
The expense can be varied up or
down, depending on whether the prac-
titioners of the governmental diet can
get along withou. butter and refined
sugar or require fancier meat than
chuck roast and other inexpensive
cuts.
The bureaus recommendations are
general and call for:
Breads, cereals and baked goods,
1875 pounds.
Milk, 4 quarts (or corresponding
quantities Of canned or dried milk or
cheese).
Sweet potatoes. 8 pounds: tomatoes
fresh or canned, or citrus fruits,
pounds; leafy green and yellow vege-
tables, S pounds; dried beans, peas,
nuts and peanut butter, ITS pounds;
dried fruits, is pounds; other fruits
and vegetables, 6 pounds.
Lean meat, fish, poultry, 1 pounds;
10 eggs
Fats, 8 pounds; sugars, 3 pounds.
Costs are Submitted.
More specifically, this might include
SIS pounds Of bread at o cost of 55.25
cents, and pounds Of cereal, 81 cents.
The four quarts ct milk cost $1.82,
compared with $1.68 In Baltimore.
Nine pounds of sweet potatoes equal
1877 cents; three pounds Of tomatoes,
22.8 cents. and five pounds Of cabbage
Gas the leafy green vegetable), 40
cents.
The prunes, which could be used
for dried fruit, cost 15.4 cents and
the dried beans 7s.75 cents. The
housewife could sprrge on the fruit
and buy 50 worth Of oranges. al
though the same weight Of apples
would cost but 34.S cents.
Mixing up the meats, the marketer
who put her faith In the Bureau Of
Home Economics, which her husband
supports in part with his income tax
payment. could get pound Of round
steak, 34.8 cents; pound Of chuck
roast, 24.s cents; L pound Of loin
roast pork, 26.2 cents, and pound
of whole ham, 299 cents.
The 10 eggs, which are worth a
cents in Baltimore, cost 80 cents
in washington. Three pounds Of but
ter can be bought for $1.25.
This advice is carried in the Con-
suners' Guide, monthly publication
launched under the auspices Of the
A A. A., and now taken over by the
Department Of Agriculture.

changes needed in our tax system.
Our whole tax structure, federal
and state, needs overhauling.'
Revision of the tax structure
toward simplification apparently
would be the objective of either
a Republican or Democratic re-
form bill. Such revision would re-
duce uncertainties over assess
ments and eliminate some of the
red tape which binds tax admin
istration.
The joint congressional commit
tee on taxation and internal reve-
nue., assisted by treasury and de-
partment of justice officials, is
working particularly toward sim
plifying the administrative system
in the present tax structure.
The study was proposed Aug. 10
in a letter from Secretary Of Trea-
sury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., to
Pesident Roosevelt in which he
suggested repeal of certain unprof-
table so-called nuisance" taxes
and elimination of "inequities" in
the present tax laws and said that
no new levies will be necessary

business conditions.
