Text of Presidents Letter.
President Roosevelt in his letter
to Commissioner Hazen criticized
Congress for failing to provide for
the Capital. He wrote:
owing to the unfortunate delay
in the enactment of the annual ap-
preparation bill for the District of
Columbia for the new fiscal year, be-
ginning today, July l. 1899, I'm in
formed that no funds are legally
available for the current expendi-
lures of the District government.
While this is indeed an awkward
situation, it is unthinkable that es-
sential public services in the Ma
tons Capital should be interrupted
and the residents of the District of
Columbia be deprived for even a
brief period of such modern necessi-
ties as police and fire protection
health and hospital services, water
hghtlng, courts. etc, etc.
For the time being, therefore
during the existing emergency and
until otherwise advised, you are
authorized and directed to maintain
and carry on in the usual manner
the normal operations of the gov
eminent of the District and incur
such expenditures and indebtedness
as may be necessary and proper for
that purpose
The District government was pre-
cipltated into similar fiscal crisis
in 1890, when Congress DELAYED
enactment of the District supply bill
until July g. When finally enacted
1t carried provision protecting the
District municipality for the interim
between the close of the previous
fiscal year June 80. up to the date
OF enactment of the new bill.
This provision read in part as fol-
lows: This act shall be effective as
OF July l. 1880. and any appropri-
atoms and authority contained here
in shall have the same force and
effect between June 80, 1880. and the
date of the enactment of this act as
though the same had become law
on July l, 1880; and the acts of any
officer or employee performed during
such period in anticipation of the
appropriations or authority con-
tanned herein shall not be invali-
dated. declared ineffective or ques-
toned solely because of the lack of
such appropriation or authority
during such period"

Plan Is Considered
To Limit Control
OF Radio Stations
Section of F. C.. c.
Would Prohibit Owning
More Than One in Area
By WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.

Serious consideration is being
given within the Federal Communi-
cations Commission, it was learned
yesterday, to a plan which would
prohibit ownership of more than one
radio station in community by an
individual or corporation.
The question may even 60 further,
1t probably also will include con-
sideration of the problem OF pre-
venting chain from owning or OPP
Grating more than one network.
While the plan Is not yet ready
to be placed before the entire COM
mission, it was said that data are
being collected and the ultimate rec
concentration may be delayed until
the F.. c. c. Committee, which has
been investigating alleged monopoly
IN radio broadcasting, makes its re-
port. Considerable testimony has
been taken concerning the opera
ton Of two or more stations by the
same owners in the same community
or service area, and also concerning
operation of more than one network
Wy ClldlIl COMPANIES.
Called Virtual Control.
There are said to be a number of
instances in various parts of the
country where broadcast stations
are owned by the same persons or
corporations, and further data on
them are being compiled for con-
sideratiOn by the commission staff.
1t is the view in some quarters of
the regulatory body that such COM
bined ownership amounts to vir-
tual control Of broadcasting in the
communities where they operate.
and it Is contended that this is not
believed to be in the public interest,
although the commission has in the
past approved such practices.
In the event the plan is recon-
mended, it was said. it would include
a provision that the owners of the
affected stations be given time-at
least two years has been suggested
in which to divorce themselves
OF the surplus stations.
Operation by Corporations. :.
Inc STUDY also includes stations
owned by an individual or corpora
ton but operated and managed by
corporations in the same city or
covering the same service area. In
some instances. it was said. stations
are owned by separate individuals or
corporations but are managed by
one concern.
1t was. pointed out that in the
view Of some it is a form of monop-
oily for one corporation or individ-
ual to own or control all or a ma
jority of the radio mediums OF ex-
preston in the same community.
and 1t is a part OF the program to
not only prevent such operation on
the part of new applicants but TO
wipe out the existing cases.

in 1890.
Asked whether any action was
contemplated against Caldwell, Long
said: Hes before the grand jury,
isn't he?"
The special parish grand Jury
already has returned indictments
against Smith, his wife, her nephew
and their son-in-law, and a New
Orleans broker for charges ranging
from embezzlement to aiding and
abetting.
Gov. Long was asked if he thought
a part of the 2 per cent asertedly
paid Caldwell may have been paid
over to Smith.
God knows" Long replied, shrug-
ging his shoulders
Smith is formally charged with
embezzling 100000 of university
funds. In addition he is accused of
having obtained 100000 of univer-
sity funds on unauthorized notes,
and using more than 100000 of I'M
authorized university bonds for his

Wallace Now One
OF Governments
Leading Spenders
Secretary Will Have
$1,000. 600, 900 to
Spend and Lend
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
given new powers and funds both by
appropriation measures and the
Government reorganization, has be-
come one of the topmost "spender-
lenders" of the administration.
Budget authorities estimated the
Secretary would have between ST.
000, 5000 and $4,000, 100000 to
spend and lend in this fiscal year
on programs designed to help agri-
culture gain economic parity with
other groups.
A record setting supply bill, signed
somewhat reluctantly by President
Roosevelt Friday night, gave Sec
rotary Wallace $1,l94,488,O0 to
finance crop and marketing control,
surplus crop disposal, research and
regulatory functions Of the Agricul-
ture Department.
The 1910 relief bill, signed the
same night, added $l40,0OO,OO0 for
grants and loans to financially dis
tressed farmers. President RoOse-
velt's proposed new lending pro-
gram, now before Congress. would
increase this figure 100000, 900.
Controls Huge Sums.
The Presidents order transfer
ring the Farm Credit Administra-
ton and the Commodity Credit
Corp. to the Agriculture Depart
ment gave Secretary Wallace con-
troll over credit resources from which
inward of 81 900 100000 in loans
may be made this year.
The Farm Credit Administration,
heretofore an independent agency
extends loans to farmers for pur-
! chase or refinancing of farms, and
| for production crops and livestock
| The Commodity Credit Corp. makes
loans to farmers on such commod-
/ tiles as cotton, corn, wheat, tobacco
wool and other products when sur
pluses unduly depress prices.
Assistants said Secretary Wallace
would permit the Farm Credit Ad-
mlniStration to operate as semi
autonomous agency, exercising only
the right TO pass on broad matters
OF policy.
$4,000, 900 for Subsidies.
The Agriculture Department sup
ply bill made $773 100000 available
for subsidies to farmers who CO.
operate with crop and marketing
hi
S225 900 600 in unbudgeted parity
payments which drew the criticism
of the Chief Executive.
Mr.. Roosevelt, while explaining
he was not opposed to such pay
ments, declared Congress had failed
TO follow his recommendation that
revenue measure be enacted to
provide funds for the payments.
The bill also provided 1908 ,OOO,-
600 for disposal OF surplus products
such as cotton, wheat. dairy prod
ucts, fruits. vegetables, lard and
pork products. A part of the money
will be used to subsidize the export
OF cotton. wheat and possibly lard
and the balance to subsidize con-
sumption of these products by re-
lief and income families.
Although carried in the Agricul-
ture Department supply bill, $780,
100000 for public roads will be spent
under direction of the new Federal
Works Agency created by the Presi-
dent. This will be partly offset by
an appropriation of $42 $50 900, not
carried in the bill, for the Ru-
raj Identification Administration
agency transferred to the Agricul-
ture Department.

yesterday morning, the supply Of one
of the symphonies was exhausted
by noon and the supply of another
was gone by midafternoon.
The Star wishes to assure al
those who were unable to get the
recordings they wanted that all re-
quests will be filled before the cam
paign is concluded.
More record players also will be
available during the final three days

from their deposits on record players
may obtain them at the music ap-
probation booth.
Crowds Fill Office.
The clerks on duty at the dlstri-
button counter were as busy yester-
day as on the opening day of the
campaign. From morning to evening,
crowds of music lovers filled the
lobby. At times they stood four and
five deep in front of the booth.
Many walked out with stacks of
recordings a foot high. Some, ap-
parently, were obtaining complete
sets at one time At times, virtually
every available inch of space on the
window Lodges and business counters
IN the lobby was occupied by record
buyers inspecting their purchases or
getting their coupons together to
obtain a record player
