LOBBY
Fights Establishment
OF Federal Station
Here, He Says

Charges that American broad
casting interests are attempting to
prevent the establishment Of a
Government owned and operated
radio station in Washington for
use in international hroadcaSts
were made before the Harvard
School of Business in Cambridge,
Mass, today by Commissioner
George Henry Payne, of the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
His charge was coupled with
criticism Of commercial programs
sent by short wave to Latin
America.
Pointing out that five desirable
frequencies in the shortsWave
spectrum had been explicitly re-
served to the United States by in,
ternational action at conference
held in Montevideo in 1882, Com.
missioner Payne declared that pri-
Yate interests in this country not
only have sought to block their use
by the Government, but are trying
now to ct control of those
precious five frequencies" for their
own purposes.

He was quoted as saying:
II hope that it will not be
necessary to wash all this dirty
linen in public, and / am re-
framing from saying any moro

at the Capitol and within the Fed

criticism and hidden facts into the

Nazis Accuse France
OF Morocco "Grab" Plot
BY PIERRE J. HUSS

BERLIN, Jan. II G.N.SO.
Striking vigorously back at France
through the medium of the Nazi
press, Germany tonight accused
the French of concentrating land
and sea forces for ultimate seizure
of Spanish Morocco on the al
legedly false pretext that German
troops have invaded the African
protectorate.
Having already named France
as "diSturber of European peace"
inspired newspapers went further
by charging France is seeking to
shift the balance Of power in the
Mediterranean.
The Army organ Boersen
charged:
"The French do not seem to
care what Britain will do in the
event French occupation of Mo
rocco exposes Gibraltar to un-
bearable pressure.
"A change Of the balance Of
power in the Mediterranean,
however, would be Of concern to
all Mediterranean nations"

sent a formal warning to Germany

With the scene of action shifting

presaged probable course of &C.

United Auto Workers Union, an
tagonistS, in a battle which has
checked a nation admittedly
headed for roster economic status
in 1887.
Reports that Homer Martin,
bespectacled head of the UAW,
would appeal directly to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to take q hand
were given credence today by Mar
tins refusal to comment.
The silence of Martin, hereto
fore quick to Stifle rumors, was
taken as an indication Martin
planned such action on the heels
Of a breakdown in mediation
efforts by Governor Frank Muir

conciliator.

In decision further strength
ening the Governments power over
monetary policy, the Supreme
Court today held constitutional
retroactive features of the so per
cent silver profits tax law of June
10, 1884. The decision was unani-
nous.
The case came to the high court
on the Governments appeal from
the Court Of Claims, which held
the law violated the due process
clause in it's retroactive application
to Percy K. Hudson's. of New York.
Justice Van Devanter, reading
the opinion, said:
The taxing provision does
not impose a tax in respect Of
all transfers, but only in respect
Of such as yield a profit over
cost and allowed expenses.
eff there be no profit there
is to be no tax. If there be a
profit the tax is to be so per
cent of it. Thus a profit is
made the occasion for the tax
and also the measure of it. Be-
cause of this, counsel for the
Government contend that the
tax is special income tax; and
we think the contention is
sound.
Justice Van Devanter cited
other past decisions of the court
upholding retroactive taxation
within limits.
