FEC. Radio HEARING
On Criticized Rules
Is Postponed
. July II Dote Conflicts
With N. A. B. Sessions
In Atlantic City
By WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

Dy VALLA1Iu Dc w vHLh LIE Il
The Federal Communications
Commission hearing on its widely
criticized regulations outlining. in
general terms, the type of programs
which must be broadcast by inter-
national radio stations may be post
poned from the July IL date set last
week by the commission, it was
learned yesterday.
The date conflicts with the con-
vention of the National Association
Of Broadcasters, which is to be held
In Atlantic City, and the charge has
been made that the F.. c. c. chose
this time for the hearing so it
might interfere with the appear
ance of the broadcasters. Members
and officials of the commission,
however, disclaimed any such pur-
pose.
1t has been suggested that when
the broadcasters file notice of inten-
ton to appear at the hearing, they
might request postponemert and
that in all likelihood it would be
granted.
The N. A. B. was the first to file
complaint against the new rule and
ask hearing, contending' the rules
smacked of an attempt to invoke
censorship. When the commission
granted the hearing, it stated that
it acted on the subsequently, filed
petition of the American Civil Lib
critics Union, but opened the hear
ing to all who desired to appear.
Nothing that the commission has
done in recent months brought
forth such an avalanche of criti-
cism as the international program
rule, which specified that programs
designed primarily for consumption
in this country could not be used on
international stations and decreed
that the latter must broadcast only
programs which reflect the culture
of this country. The rules were for
mulated and put into effect without
any hearing, and they led at once
to a storm of protest from many
places, claiming that they violated
the right of free speech.
Members of the commission, how
ever. have insisted there never was
an intention on the part of the reg
ulatory body to invoke censorship
Of the programs in any of it's phases.
The rules have been sharply criti-
cized in Congress and there are in
dications there will be further con-
gressional action if the F. c. C.
insists on retaining them after the
hearing.

business privilege tax, for another
year pending further study Of the
tax problem.
Although there is uncertainty as
to the final scope Of the local tax
structure, there are indications Of
strong support in the Senate COM
mittee for more liberal basis OF
Federal obligation to the District
than the IS 900 900 maximum annual
lump sum called for by the House
bill.
This question will come before the
committee through the amendment
Of Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana, to substitute his land
area formula for the House lump
sum rule.
Hearings May Start Tuesday.
Senator King hopes to start the
tax hearings Tuesday, but may have
to wait until Wednesday.
At the same time, House and
Senate conferees may begin delib-
Grafton early this week on the 1910
local appropriation bill, in which the
inadequacy of the present $1,000 900
lump sum also is an issues Under
the leadership of Senator Overton,
the Senate has raised the lump sum
for the coming year to s7,75O, 900 to
help meet urgent improvement prof.
ects added to the bill The House
conferees will be headed by Repre-
sentative Ross Collins of MissLs-
sippi.
If it becomes necessary to make
the pending tax bill another one
year measure because of lack of
time to work out a permanent long
range tax system, its scope will de-
pend on the size of the appropria-
ton total finally approved by the
conferees. There is a difference of
about s2,500.000 between the two
houses in the supply bill.
1t is also likely the appropriation
bill will come to a head first, since
the District will need the new ap-
preparations on July LESS than
two weeks from now. If the supply
bill is still in conference at that
time temporary continuing resolu-
ton would be required for daily ex-
penses OF the city, but Congress trys
to avoid that expediency.

vored standing BY the income levy
believing the Senate committee
would revise the measure as it stands
to make 1t conform to most of the
State laws. Senator King also con-
ferred during the day with Repre-
sentatives Nichols of Oklahoma and
Bates of Massachusetts,.
Realizes Difficulties.
Senator Kings present position |.
one of reluctance to drop the in
come tax and continue the busines.
privilege levy for another year. Al
the same time, he has indicated he
realizes the difficulties in setting
out to write a new income measure
in short time.
The Utah Senator said he would
like to draft an income schedule
with sufficient revenue yield to
enable the real estate tax rate to
go back from SITS to s1.50 per hun
dred of assessed value.
One of the main obstacles, how
ever, is to find out to what extent
the probable yield from a District
law would be reduced by the credits
allowed Government employees and
others for similar taxes paid else
where To begin with, it is difficult
to find out how many residents of
Washington may be paying State
income taxes elsewhere soon. as a
result of the Supreme Court de-
cision upholding the right of States
to tax Federal salaries.
Representative Bates of Massa-
chusetts has just obtained data from
the Federal income tax authorities
showing for 1887 total of 110,65e
returns filed here. of which 36,97C
paid no tax, leaving 1858 taxable
returns.
District officials. however. have
found it puzzle to determine how
many would be paying State income
taxes elsewhere, especially since il
is only within the past year that the
Supreme Court has ruled the States
may tax Federal salaries.
$4,000. .0O0 Total Seen.
When the House income measure
passed. students of local finances
estimated 100000 as the outside
limit on its probable yield. Distric,
Auditor Donovan was busy yesterday
endeavoring to make more exact
estimates Of the probable yield. The
result will depend. of course, on the
extent to which the Senate commit
tee modifles the House terms, if II
decides to retain the income levy.
Meanwhile, the Commissioners
Advisory Tax Committee is scheduled
to confer again tomorrow afternoon
The committee has already Informed
Senator King, with the concurrence
of the Commissioners, that it favors
the Pond report recommendation fol

had one taxi for each 1000 popula-
ton; Baltimore, with 900 cabs, had
one taxi for each IT'S population;
Philadelphia, with 1900 cabs, had
one cab for each 1000 population
These contrast with Washington,
where there is approximately one
taxicab for each 1873 persons, in ad-
dition to the largest per capita auto
mobile ownership in the country.
Figures submitted to the COM
mittee by the New York commits

that New York City, with 1874 Ii

for each 556 of population.
Many Drivers on Partial Relief.
witnesses contended that the
average taxicab driver in Washing
ton is unable to earn a fair living
for himself. He is plundered on the
one hand by finance companies and
on the other hand by his colleagues
(whom he in turn plunders) whose
excessive competition destroys all
hope of earning sufficient money.
Many drivers were reported on
partial relief; most or all are in
debt; their credit is reputed to be
non-existent; witnesses complained
a taxi driver or his family cannot
rent desirable home, because their
economic status is known to be too
low to maintain themselves.
This situation has resulted in an
influx of irresponsible, careless. un-
trustworthy drivers who jeopardize
the public safety and make harder
the lot of steadier majority.
High net earnings for a taxicab
driver in Washington would be
about $3.50 for 12-hour day, ac-
cording to me witness"
Three Specific Points.
The subcommittee explained in its
report the bill has three specific
points. They are:
81. To benefit the public by i'm
proving the quality of drivers
through increasing the attractive
ness of the vocation; by reducing
the present unnecessary traffic
hazard OF surplus taxlcabS, by IN
creasing safety through restrictions
on numbers of taxicabs and drivers.
and by restricting eligibility of
drivers.
20. To benefit the drivers by re-
stricting the potential growth of
monopoly; by reducing the present
amount of excessive competition;
by restricting certain predatory
practices of finance companies; by
attempting to assure a gradual in
crease of income as the limitation
takes effect until stabilization can
be achieved; by preventing an over
supply of drivers as taxicabs are
reduced in number.
SO. To benefit legitimate finance
companies by improving their risks;
by diminishing some of the sharp
practices by which unscrupulous
competitors have held an advantage
over the legitimate members of the
trade"

porch. Waiting is sort of a weak
word to describe his condition be-
cause he was about to become a
father. My young doctor friend &C
companied him home and had his
first experience as a full-fedged
doctor. This first patient bore
set of twins-the first he had ever
seen; and l am happy to state that
he acquitted himself beautifully,
saving all four persons involved.
There has come to my desk
most portentous monograph on the
number of twins they have had at
Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 40
years of it's existence. The total
number of twin deliveries was 521
one out Of every 80 deliveries.
The age of the mothers was, on
the average between 20 and Is.
The diagnosis of the possibility OF
twins was missed in a third of the
cases. So if that happens at so ultra
a place as johns Hopkins, don't
blame your neighborhood doctor If
he springs a little surprise on you.
The chances of making the dag
nosis are better if one twin weighs
more than the other. don't know
why, but statistics show that.
Weigh Less
Twins usually weigh little less
than single babies, naturally. Usu-
ally one twin is heavier, and IN a
large series the heavy twin weighed
seven and one-half pounds, which
is not very far off the average.
The prospective mother is in a
little more danger from the ordl-
nary course of events, such as the
toxemias of pregnancy, but she gets
it over sooner. A twin pregnancy is
