CHICAGO. July 13. -. Little

side Of the Democratic National
Convention by the women assem-
bling for this great political meet
ing. Social activity is being gen.
orally subordinated and the slogan
Of Mrs. Thomas McAllister, director
Of the women's division for the
national committee, I'VE shall not
play" has spread through the
feminine ranks.
Aiming to obtain the feminine
viewpoint into the Democratic party
platform, the Woman's Plank Ad-
visory Committee met today at the
Stevens Hotel. According to Mrs.
McAllister the women are planning
to play a more important part in
this convention than at any in
the past.
Representative Mary T. Norton,
chairman of the committee, was
delayed in arriving in Chicago be-
cause of throat ailment and did
not preside at the session.

F. {. {. in Conflict
With Radio Industry
On Defense Program
Commission Disoerees
With broodcusters
On New Policies
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

by WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.
The radio industry and the Fed
eral Communications Commission
are in disagreement over plans to
coordinate the Nations commune
cations systems with a general de-
tense program.
Neville Miller, president of the
National Association Of Broad
casters, urges that a communica-
tions expert be added to the Ma
tional Advisory Defense Commission,
while F. c. G. Chairman James L.
Fly favors a separate governmental
board to formulate defense policies
for the industry.
Divide on Policy.
Mr.. Miller suggested In letter
to Chairman Fly that an outstand-
Ing communications authority should
be appointed to the Defense Com
mission to give the industry the
same representation accorded other
fields. Mr.. Fly, however, points out
that coordination Of activities is
required for communications, where
as the Defense Commission deals
principally with procurement prob
lens.
While Mr.. Fly declares the in
dustry will be consulted if the plan
for a separate governmental board
is approved, industry IS said to be
apprehensive that a board composed
entirely Of Government officials
would be forerunner Of Govern
ment operation. Although Govern
ment omcials diSclaim such In
tention, it is known that certain
r. c. c. members are inclined
toward this objective.
Recall Early Failure.
Those in the industry recall the
last war when the Government took
over the operation of telephone sys-
TENS, under jurisdiction Of the Post
Once Department, and then turned
them back after the war with a
large deficit. They do not welcome
such a prospect now.
Arguing against naming of pri-
vate individual to the Defense Com
mission to handle communications
activities, officials say the field is
so broad it is questionable whether
any one person could satisfactorily
represent the various branches Of
radio broadcasting. point-to-point
radio telegraph, telegraph, cable
and telephone.
So far as can be determined, there
has been no co-ordinated effort of
representatives of all of these
branches to seek representation on
the council. It was said Mr.. Miller's
letter did not indicate whether it was
the result of conference of various
communications interests or was
merely a personal recommendation.
The problem, it is known, is caus-
ing no little concern in administra-
ton circles, which is evidenced by
the fact that President Roosevelt
has held up for several weeks the
proposed executive order. prepared
under the direction of Chairman Fly,
which would name a governmental
board to include representatives of
the War, Navy and State Depart
ments and the F. C. G. There Is some
opposition to F. c. c. representation
on the board, it being argued that q
regulatory agency should not at
tempt also to direct communications
defense planning.
The commission already has
stepped into the defense field, under
the guise of guarding the misuse
Of the radio spectrum, through the
plans for establishing q hundred
listening stations to guard against
use Of the air by lift hcolumnists." I"
