Germany In the form Of blocked
credits which can only be used TO,

"As it Is not In the interest Of the
Brazilian government to maintain a
large credit OF this kind, there has
been a tendency for government
controlled companies (such as the
railways and the Bank OF BraziD, tc

Text Of Proclamation
The text Of Gov. Earle's proclama-
ton for martial law In Johnstown
follows:
Whereas, 1t has been represented
to me by the sheriff Of Cambria County
that there Is imminent danger OF riot
tumult and mob in various sections OF
Cambria County. whereby the lives
and property, peace and safety are
threatened and which the civil authori-
ties have asserted are beyond their
control and power to suppress, and
Whereas. the said sheriff Of Cam
bria County. being the highest peace
officer within the said county, has
averred the inability Of the local civil
authorities to cope with the said Inn
pending emergency and has called
upon the Governor to exercise the
power vested in him by the consti-
tuition and laws OF this Commonwealth
to prevent insurrection and to suppress
riot, mob and tumult, and
Whereas. the constitution and
laws OF this Commonwealth authorize
the Governor, whenever in his judg-
ment he may deem it necessary, to
employ the police and military power
Of the Commonwealth, to suppress
domestic violence, preserve the peace
and protect lives and property;
Now. therefore, I. George H. Earle
Governor OF the said Commonwealth
do hereby admonish all good citizens
and all good persons within the terri
tories under the jurisdiction Of the
Commonwealth against attending and
abetting such unlawful proceedings
and I do hereby command all persons
engaged or participating in such
riotous demonstrations to disperse
forthwith and retire peacefully to their
respective places Of abode, warning
them that a persistence in such vio-
lence will compel resort to such force
as may be necessary to enforce obe-
dience to the laws. In order to carry
out this mandate I hereby declare the
said district to be under the jurisdic-
ton OF the police and military force OF
the Commonwealth, and do hereby in

Bill to DiuOrce Press and Radio
Held Aimed at Possible Abuses

the Presidents case for Supreme Court
reform to the country last Sunday
night.
Few cases of actual abuse of the
radio privilege are cited either by
Senator Wheeler or the others who
want newspapers and the press di-
'vorced, but they claim the poten-
tiality of such abuse is too serious
to overlook. They refer not only to
possible political partisanship, but to
the local economic control of both
news and radio advertising outlets
to the detriment of newspapers that
do not have radio outlets. Senator
Wheeler freely admits that iniquities
may occur where competition exists,
but he is hot on the subject Of local
monopolies and multiple ownership of
radio stations, such as the 10 owned
by the Heart interests.
That any bills on the subject will
face serious opposition is taken for
granted. Some Of the stanchest ad-
ministration supporters own valuable
and pioneer radio properties and Ger
tainly will not surrender them with
out a struggle. To mention but q
few, there are the Louisville Courier
Journals WHAS, owned by President
RooSevelt's Ambassador to Great Brit
ain, Robert w. Bingham, a station
which covered itself with glory during
the recent flood crisis; the Fort Worth
Star -Telegram's WBAP, owned by the
powerful Anon Carter; the Dayton
Daily News WHO, owned by former
Gov. James Cox of Ohio, one-time
Democratic presidential nominee, who
also operates WHO'D in connection
with his Miami Daily News; the Dallas
News WFAA and the Dallas Times
Herald's KRLD; the Atlanta Journals
WSB and the three stations in Hous-
ton operated by the publishing in
terests headed by Jesse Jones, chair
man Of the Reconstruction Corp.

IL mlnat1On OF senator WnSeler
of Montana to force show
~ down on newspaper ownership
of radio stations Is feeling, known
No be prevalent in administration cir
cles, that the possibility of abuse in
the Joint conduct of two such powerful
organs for influencing public opinion
Is too great. especially in a political
Fense, to permit the publishers to ex-
band their hold on radio still further.
Senator Wheeler has strong back
ng among his congressional colleagues
for the bill which he proposes to
Introduce with the object Of forcing
present newspaper owners Of radio
stations, or stock In radio stations, to
divest themselves of such holdings
bill which would also prohibit the
Federal Communications Commission
rom licensing any more newspaper
interests to own and operate broad
casting outlets.
In fact, Representative Wearin Of
iowa already has introduced bill
which would 60 all the way, even
requiring the F. c. c. to refuse license

The movement led by Senator
Wheeler Is understood to have had
its genesis before the recent national
Elections, in which a reported IS per
cent of the metropolitan press was
opposed to the New Deal. Whether
President Roosevelt favors such rad
ical development, which admittedly
would hit some of the best managed
and operated stations in the country,
Is not known definitely. What Is
\ known, however. is that the White
House during the last four years

pendence upon radio as an outlet for
Its views, as evidenced by the COM
