Broadcasters Draft
SeIf-Regu|ating Code
BY the Associated Press.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July IL
The National Association of Broad
casters-2,000 radio men from all
over the country-today whipped
into shape self-regulating code to
foster radios service to democ-
Icy"
The final draft, finished late last
night, was the result of six months
of continuous study and revision
In order to keep radio stations out
of trouble with the public and vested
authorities, the tentative code would
prohibit the sale of air time for dis
cussion of controversial issues-eX-
cept political broadcasts.
1T is public duty" the code read,
"to bring controversial discussion to
the radio audience regardless of the
ability of others to pay for it.
IF time were sold to all with the
ability and desire to buy it, as should
be done in fairness to all parties in
volved, proper balancing of pro-
grams for listener interest would be
impossible.
And by far the most important
reason for this policy is that should
time be sold for the discussion of
controversial issues and the propa-
cation of special views. powerful
public forum would inevitably gravi-
tate almost wholly into the hands of
those with the greatest means to
buy it."

principle of Federal financial assist
ance"
Sharply attacking the hospital
provisions of the Wagner bill, Sen
ator Taft praised Doctors Hospital
here as a fine example of what can
be done by private initiative with
out Government aid.
Sponsors of the Wagner bill, he
charged, seem to grossly .exaggerate
the lack of hospital service in the
United States. Disregarding all
private hospital SERVICE" he de-
clared, they apparently plan vast
system of public hospitals to take
care of everybody who would like
to go to free hospital. Any hos
pital plan should certainly encour-
age the construction of private
hospitals and their use by public
and private patients to their full
capacity. 1t should encourage pri-
vate plans of hospital insurance,
which will assist the success of
private hospitals and reduce the ex-
pense of operating public hospitals.
Opposes Federal Contributions.
THE construction of this Doctors
Hospital here in Washington shows
that large part of our problem
may be met without pouring out
more millions from the Federal
Treasury, and without turning over
to some State or Federal official the
entire determination of who shall
receive disqualification and when he
shall receive it; and the hospital
plan ought to be worked out de-
liberately to encourage philanthropic
persons to invest their own money
in the expansion of private hospital
service, as they have so liberally
invested it during the last SO years. :"
Charging that the Wagner bill
was "needlessly complicated, Sena-
tor Taft estimated that in proposing
to extend vast Federal assistance
throughout the field of public health
and medical care it would appropri-
at "out of our growing deficit ap-
proximately $10OOOO,OOO of Federal
money the first year, and gradually
Increasing sums thereafter, until in
10 years it will cost the Federal Gov
ernment more than 100000 900, and
require the States to supply approx
imately the same amount"

Zioncheck Property Damage
Suit Settled for 81, ,347

Memories of stirring times at Har-
ward Hall, 1850 Harvard street NV,
when the late Representative Mar
ion A. Zioncheck of Washington
was having his colorful exploits,
came today in District Court, when
final settlement was made with his
landlady, Mrs. Pamela S. Young,
who sued for damages to her prop
erty in the apartment the law
maker had rented here
Justice James M. Proctor over
ruled motion for new trial, made
by the Representative widow, Mrs.
Rubye Nix Zioncheck, ancillary ad-
ministratrix of his estate. BY agree
ment with opposing counsel, Justice
Proctor entered judgment for
S1,347.75 in favor of Mrs. Young
the amount found available for pay
ment in the statement of the ad-
ministratriX' account. The late Rep
resentative's estate in the District
totaled around $4,000.
Evening star., 1939-07-11

The case was tried in District
Court in May, 1898, after Mrs. Young
had sued Mrs. Zioncheck, as the legal
representative of her husband. The
jury gave the landlady a verdict for
$500 on the first count and $1,315
on the second count, but rendered a
verdict for the estate on a counter
claim for $4725. The Zionchecks
had claimed overpayment of rent.
Representing Mrs Zioncheck was
Attorney H. Max zimmerman, while
Mrs. Young was represented by
Attorneys Robert H. McNeill and
Philip F. Herrick. Mrs. Young had
sued for $2,75955 for damages to her
personal property-various articles,
which she contended had been
spoiled. She charged in testimony
that liquor had been split on her
valuable tables and other articles
of furniture, some of which was
bought into the courtroom and ex-
hibited to the jury.

Hartnett of the Nationals could have
named starting lineup with greater
batting power, judging by the sea-
son averages, but this appeared not
to be the first consideration. Nc
Carthy packed his team with
Yankees, obviously figuring they
had an important advantage in
playing on their home field.
Morris Arnovich of the Phillies,
the leading National League slug
ger, with mark of 1888, was not
picked to start. Instead Hartnett
chose Ducky Medwick of the Cardi-
nails, who is hitting only $3.50 this
season. but has clouted .389 in the
last five all-star games.
Batting Average Lower.
AS result, the two clubs bump
ing heads today were not, on paper,
quite the dream teams" of past
years. The collective batting aver
age of the eight starting American
Leaguers mot counting the pitcher
was only .3l5, as against $40 for
the Nationals.
These marks would have looked
puny in other All-Star struggles,
when the policy was to pour all the
available batting power into the
lineups, even at the expense of
playing men in other than their
customary positions. The American
Leaguers learned a painful lesson
last year at Cincinnati, when jim
mie FoxX, third baseman for the
day, made wild throw that vir-
tually handed the Nationals 4-to-1
victory.
FoXX, one of the American
| Leagues top hitters, was passed up
as starting first baseman today in
favor of Hank Greenberg of De-
troit. whose season sticking average
Is only 286, but is leading his
league in home runs The entire

Reds to Bat in Order.
! The strangeSt aspect OF the Ma
tional League lineup was the sight
of four Cincinnati Reds-Lonnie
Frey, Ival Goodman, Frank Nc
Cormick and Ernie Lombardi-bat-
ting in their regular order. Hart
nett thus preserved the most ef-
fective run-making combination in
the National League.
For the first time, neither All-Star
pilot planned to use a southpaW
pitcher. After starting Ruffing, Nc
Carthy chose TO follow with Tommy
Bridges. Detroit veteran. and Bob
by Feller, great Cleveland speed
baller. Hartnett's choices were Der
ringer, Bill Lee of Chicago and
Whitlow Wyatt of Brooklyn, each
working three innings unless the
opposition failed to cooperate.
Each club was equipped with eight
pitchers in case. of emergency.
At last account, local bookmakers
were offering 2 to l against the
National Leaguers, but doing little
business. The all-star game is not
a betting affair like the World
Series, one reason being that the
average American or National
League fan seldom believes the
strongest team has been selected
from his circuit Peeved because
his favorites have been passed up,
he won't wager.
