Addresses Meeting
Of Teachers

Critical of the mud singing" OF
the Dies committee, John Frank
lin Carter, well-known news COM
mentator who writes under the
name of Jay Franklin, discounts
the Fascist or Communistic threat
in this country.
The country is just too big" he
told the annual meeting of the
Washington Teachers Union at the
Carlton Hotel yesterday.
Perfection of national unity and
defense against tremendous and
growing insecurity is what is need
ed, he declared. The American peo-
pie are one people existing in about
five different countries. he said.
They live under vastly different
climatic and economic conditions, he
pointed out.
Mr.. Carter, who has returned from
swing around the country, said
he had noted a unity of reaction
to the Hitler and Czechoslovak is
sues.
This country is solidly anti
Nazi." he declared.
Miss Mary C. Dent. president OF
the union, called attention to the
work accomplished by the group in
its % years of existence. 1t has
brought about increased salaries for
teachers, she recalled. as we'll as sue
ceeded in obtaining for teachers the
right of trial before suspension.

MtNinth AssaiIs Nazi
Radio Practices in
Convention Talk
Avoidance in U. S. Seen
Prospective Benefit
Of Inquiry

Avoidance of such a condition of
censorship in American radio broad
casting as he said now exists in
Germany is one of the prospective
benefits Of the present monopoly
investigation of the Federal Com
munications Commission, Chairman
Frank r. McNinch said in an ad-
dress before convention Of the
Fourth District National ASSocia-
ton OF Broadcasters.
In discussing circumstances of
radio broadcasting in Germany,
Chairman McNinch told the broad
casters: In that unhappy country
1t is understood that the strongest
control is exercised over all infor-
nation that goes on the air. We
have every reason to believe that
there is much false propaganda and
that no Jewish or Christian group
u allowed any representation.
Condition Unthinkable.
Such condition in the United
States" he continued, lis unthink-
able. Should there ever be an at
tempt here by any one to so debase
radio as to use it as an instrument
of racial or religious persecution, the
communications commission would
employ every source it has to pre-
vent any such shocking offense.
President Roosevelt would, of course,
support us to the limit in such a
stand"
The chairman forecast approach
Ing regulation of chain and network
broadcasting, telling the broadcasters
tho Communications Act vests the
commission with power and author
ity to regulate them. The necessary
information on which to base regu-
lations or legislation now is being
obtained at the monopoly hearings,
he said. Within few months, he
predicted, the chains, the affiliates
and the public will know the stand
ards and requirements prescribed
for the regulation of the chain
systems.
Much Non-Factual Testimony.
Mr.. McNinch told the broadcasters
the committee of the commission
which is taking testimony on the
monopoly phase is not entirely salts
fed with some of the material being
submitted.
For example" he continued, "the
prepared statements, which often
are a part, but only part. of the
presentation, are beautifully con-
structed and sometimes yet more
beautifully printed before they come
to lis. But some of the matter they
contain seems quite irrelevant. No
little of it is chiefly laudatory of
policies of the industry. 1 cannot
tell you in detail just what will be
done with that kind of matter. But
I can tell you that my associates and
I have reserved the right to exclude
all or any part of such non-factual
testimony. We will not allow any
person or organization to use the
hearings as sounding board. We
are not going to have after dinner
speeches

M The Local Theaters
STATE

Current attractions which may be seen for the last times today at Warner Brothers State theater in- clude College Swing" with an all- star cast headed by George Burns, Oracle Allen, Martha Kaye and Bob Hope; also Scandal Street" with Lew Ayers and Louise Campbell in the leading roles.
 Tomorrow the State brings back to the screen that clever and popu- lar star, Dolores Costello, in new and triumphant career in Beloved Brat" the headliner of the eXcep- tionally fine double hit program to be enjoyed for three days at this popular theater of hits.
 Bonita Granville, the brat of "TheSe Three, is starred in this picture. while Miss Costello plays the part of her teacher, the principal of school conducted on the strict est of lines. And it is Dolores who reforms the mean, selfish little creature and changes her into per- feet young lady.
 This 14-year-old star who stands 1 'ioiiC III llCl pOl u dydl Ol LII dCCiolI and pesty youngsters, is really charming and pleasing youngster off the screen who listens to her mother. eats her spinach and does not go around walloping other boys and girls.
 But fortunately, or unfortunate ly, whichever it may be, she has a knack of portraying nasty little girls. Producers cry for her when ever brat role turns up. When worse birls are portrayed, Bonita probably will be portraying them.
 This picture is said to be the best in which little Bonita Granville has appeared, and her part is said to be the longest and most difficult she has ever tried, making entertain ment that will be real treat for the whole family. Plan to see the opening performance tomorrow.
 And for your further enjoyment Joe E. Brown, the screens ace comic. provides the years biggest laughs in his latest vehicle Wide Open Faces" the second smash hit of the program. The picture offers Joe an- other opportunity for one of his fmous characterizations that of a small town boy battling tremend- ous odds. Included in the cast are Jane Wyman Alison Skipworth. Lyda Roberti, Alan Baxter, Lucien Little field and many others.
