any one vested interest from cor- riering the radio with its own propaganda.
 However, in the last few months, new commentators have appeared on the air on sponsored programs. They have taken def- mite stands on controversial is- sues. They have presented their side of the argument. The other side has gone unheard. Should the other side ask for equal time, or the same time, the networks would be stymied. And If 1t were not granted them there might be Federal action.

MEXICAN PEONS
 FEAR SCARCITY ON FREE LAND
Colony Below California Border Faces Future
 With Misgivings
BY ARTHUR N. sUvERKRUP CUnlted Press Stan COrrespOndent)


 Ensenada, Baja Cal, Nov. H. (UP)--Two hundred and six Mexi. can peons await only the final action of authorities in Mexico City to make them sole owners of Si,SOO,OOO worth of land, located in the Morelos section, 10 miles from this seaport.
 Formerly owned almost entirely by American interests, the l3096 acres were taken over by the Mex ican government to establish the first agrarian colony In this area.
 But while the peons who peti- toned for establishment of the colony, to be named for Mexico's president, Lazaro Cardenas, await final title to their plots, they are faced with the growing anxiety.
 It is considered doubtful, despite promises of government aid in establishing the colony, if money enough will be available to install pumping equipment for irrigation.
 Rainfall Not Sufficient
 If the irrigation system cannot be installed and operated, the new landowners will be face-to- face with a serious problem. The average rainfall in the area of the new colony amounts to only 6 to 2 inches annually not enough to grow crops of any kind on a com Inercial scale, and probably not enough to grow even enough food stutfs to support family.
 Today the land-formerly held hyb the American owned Victor Marsh So., and the Ensenada Land Co.,; Carl Carr, Mexican citizen, and o small portion of Mexican national land - Is being cultivated under lease, by Papa nese farmers.
 Tn most instances, 1t was said, the colony will be composed of peons living in the immediate area, many of whom now are employed as workers on the land they are to receive.
 Each peon will receive 20 hec- tares, or about 50 acres, but without Improvements.
 Tn the past, the land to be taken UVSE kltS kLONbSGN oaA HWShASAJ high quality chilli bean - under irrigation.
 Restriction on Ownership
 It was pointed out that under the Agrarian system the new own- CTS of the land--who must be past l0 years old; not have more land in his possession than he Is to re- ceive, or more than 1000 pesos in capital-will be able to take im- mediate possession of the land, provided crops are not already under cultivation. Where crops are growing the new owners must await the completion of the har- vest.
 Most of the new land owners are adherents of the late Emiliano Zapata, an illiterate revolutionary, whose war-cry was "the land be- longs to those who work it.
 To compensate the present own CTS of the land. the Mexican gov- ernment is issuing Agrarian bonds, considered by some of the people in this section to be almost worthless.

New York, Nov. Il - Radio, which has long enjoyed a sue blilne existence of sweet music, light comedy and Q wide range of variety from amateurs to e ven- triloquists dummy, has suddenly found itself facing a problem that may result in government action to preserve the principal of equal rights on the airwaveS. SI
 A, sudden outburst of sponsored commentators who deal in one side of controversial subjects has struck the broadcagsefs a kilo- cycle blow that has them stagger- ing. They are drawing radio toward the pit 1t has carefully avoided since the government turned the Airlanes over to commercial sbroadCasttng. They have injected the cry of "Pri- vate Interests" into broadeasting.
 The situation has become, 50 acute that 6 few weeks ago Lenox R. Lohr, president of the National Broadcasting O., issued orders that no new commentators could be signed for NBC programs with out bis approval. He also if1di- cated that when the contracts of some of the present editorializers come up for renewal they may be held up.
 PROBLEM OF EQUAL RIGHTS
 One of the cardinal principals of radio broadcasting is that both sides of @ controversial sub- ject be given equal hearing before the bar of the loudspeaker. When the President goes on the air, his

GEORGETOWN TO GIVE

Coming Terms.

Graduate students attending the
Georgetown University School of Law,

ped last year. Candidates for the

ates of accredited law schools.
Students entering the regular
classes of the law school, which start

another change-appointment by the
justices.
Defects of Commissioner appoint
ment shown in the hearings included
the fact that both the educational
and material interests of the schools
were under the same control; the fact
that when school interests conflicted
with material interests of the city
such as Fire, Police and Engineering
Departments, the educational interests
always yielded, and lack of economical
administration on the part of the
Commissioners in locating and plan
ming school buildings.
Among the conclusions of the sub
committee reporting the bill for cor
rection was the statement that there
does not seem to be a clearly defined
plan, whether in regard to the ar
rangement and size of the building,
or of course of studies, for the ex-
tension of the school system with due
regard to judicious economy"
