Peanut planting in North Carolina

ported today by DR.. I. O. Schaub, di-
rector of the State College Exten-

He also noted an improvement in
demand for shelled and cleaned pea
nuts, especially Jumbos. In this con-

good premium that is being paid this
year for peanuts that will make

Flood Of Alien Bills
Blamed on Politics

Discussing anti-alien and sedition
laws, Representative Geyer, Demo-
crat, of California last night told
local Descendants of the American
Revolution that the introduction of
more than 10 anti-alien bills at
this session does not reflect a ma
tional need SO much as the desire
of individual Congressman to wrap
themselves in the American flag for
the benefit of the folks back home. .
Mr.. Geyer said that throughout
the history of the United States
times of national emergency and So
cial reform have given rise to agi-
tation for anti-alien legislation
These proposals, he said, seek the
suppression of minority groups and
liberal movements.

nority group" he pointed out, land

fight to suppress the other fellow we

Uncertainty Called
Barrier 10 Good Will
Broadcast Service
c. B. S. Engineering
Director Questioned;
Rule Suspended
BY WILLIAM ], WHEATLEY.

Inc uncertainty OF the area
covered by radio waves, even when
sent in a specific direction. makes
1t impossible for an international
radio station to render strictly
good will service, the Federal Com
munications Commission was told
today.
The F. c. c. resumed this morn
ing its hearing on its protested rule
requiring international broadcast
stations to distribute programs re-
f1ecting only the culture and good
will OF this country. The rule has
been suspended pending conclusion
Of the hearing.
E. K. Cohan, director of engineer
ing for the Columbia Broadcasting
System, told the commission a pro-
gram which might create good will
IN one country could have the op-
poslte effect in another country re-
celvlng the same signal. He ex-
planned that while the international
beams are intended to 60 only to
particular areas, the broadcasts
could be heard over much wider
areas, although not with the same
intensity.
Censorship Opinion Asked.
Although put on the stand as a
technical witness, Commissioner
Frederick I. Thompson sought to
get from Mr.. Cohan an opinion as
to whether the F. C. c. rule was
censorship, as has been charged bv
various groups. Paul Porter, counsel
Tor Columbia, objected on the ground
Mr.. Conan was technical witness.
However, when the Commissioner
insisted on an answer, Mr.. Cohan,
speaking merely as an American
citizen, said it was his opinion that
any rule that told broadcasters what
type OF programs they should send
out was censorship.
Neville Miller, president of the
National Association of Broad
casters, who spent most of yester-
day on the witness stand, was ex-
cused shortly after the hearing
started this morning. Mr.. Cohan
was followed on the stand by Clifford
K. Willis, assistant to the president
OF Columbia and in charge of short
wave operations.
At yesterday afternoons hearing
Mr.. Miller was subjected to a cross
flre OF questions, which brought
forth protests from counsel.
Discourtesy Charged.
When charge of discourtesv was
nung at the commission, several
members countered by alleging that
the original letter of the broad
casters association to the commits
sion was discourteous.
William j. Dempsey, commission
general counsel, then asked Mr.. Mil
Ter ii he felt there had been anv
conspicuous lack of courtesy. The
witness, without answering directly
said he thought that all were getting
far of the subject of the hearing.
At another point, counsel for the
American Civil Liberties Union
raised the objection that the uues-
tioning had gone so far afield that
1t was confused as to what the issues
are. 1t asked that the matter be
restricted to that of censorship.

transportation Bill
Ready, House Leader,
Hope 10 GET Action
Debote May Stort
Thursday, but Final
Approval Is Doubted
BY the Associated Press.

House leaders today added gen.
eral transportation legislation-al.
ready approved by the House Inter
state Commerce Committee-to the
list Of measures they hope to push
through before adjournment.
Representative Rayburn of Texas
| the Democratic leader, said the
House probably would start debate
on the big bill next Thursday. 1,
should be approved in not more thar
three days, he predicted.
But sponsors were rather pessi-
mistic over the chances for fina,
congressional approval of trans
portation legislation before Congress
quits.
They pointed out that. although
the committees bill and a bulky
measure already approved in the
Senate include the same general
subjects, the Senate measure would
attempt to codify the entire Inter
state Commerce Act. The House
draft only amends the law.
Commerce Committee said that,
other than codiflcation, the House
bill differs materially from the Sen
ate legislation on only these three
points:
l. 1t repeals the land grant stat
utes under which railroads claim
they lose $1,000, 900 annually in reve-
nue..
2. 1t authorizes the r. F. C. to
make certain loans to railroads
when private financing is lacking.
3. 1t provides that railroads pay a
share of the cost of reconstructing
bridges over navigable rivers equal
to the direct benefits they derive
with the Government to pay the
rest. Railroads now foot the entire
bill.
The House bill. which Representa-
tive Lea said the committee ap-
proved by vote of 20 to /, COIN
cided with railroad demands that
the Government regulate alike all
forms of transportation. 1t would
bring water transportation, with
certain exceptions, under the control
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission with railroads and motor
carriers. Air traffic is under the
jurisdiction of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority.
Other major provisions of the Lea
bill:
/. The I. C.. c. would be directed
to look into congressional complaints
of discrimination in Southern, re-
gional freight rates and make any
corrections it might find necessary
in rate schedules.
2. The I. C. c. would have au-
thority to fix both maximum and
minimum rates for rail and water
common carriers and to establish
differentials between the two types
3. Railroads, rather than the 1
C. c., would have the right to initi-
ate pooling and consolidation ar
rangements.

Defense That Singer Inspired
Dog Barking Chorus Fails

A contention that a woman prac-
ticing her singing lessons caused a
dozen nearby dogs to chime in with
bit Of harmony featured a three
hour dog barking trial at Police
Court yesterday.
Mrs. Elizabeth Everett, 4512 Thir-
tieth street NV, appeared as one
OF the compliments against Mrs
Harriet Stuart, a neighbor living at
3OO7 Albermarle street NV.
Defense Attorney Charles Ford
asked Mrs. Everett if she took sing

DO you frequently practice the
scale, such as do, re, mi, ia, so and
so on?'
mot exactly in those words, but
do run the scale"
Mrs. Everett then admitted that
at times during her practice the
dogs joined in with a chorus but
she also pointed out that the dogs
howled even when she did not prac-
tice. Mr.. Ford contended his client
was not guilty of the charge of let
ting her dogs bark if the animals
were provoked by singing practice
of neighbor.
Judge Hobart Newman held that
Mrs. Everett did not deliberately"
provoke the animals to howl.

the case, prosecuted by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Milton Norman,
