Air Code Gives COughlin Trouble
In Finding Outlets for Radio Talks

NEW YORK jet AZ K Charles
E. Coughlin is having difficulty
in finding outlets for his weekly
radio talks, which will be resumed
the second Sunday~in October, it
was learned.
A survey conducted here was re-
vealed that no New York station
will carry the broadcast, although
WHBI, small Newark station, is
expected to renew a contract
which expired in May. Only small,
outlying stations are expected to
contract for the programs because
the new code of the National AS
ISOLATION of Broadcasters, which
goes into effect this fall, bars such
controversial programs as Cough
Inns.
To date, FL stations have been
approached to carry the Coughlin
talks. Aircrafters, Inc, the radio
priests agent, has been cores
ponding with stations throughout
the country for several weeks to
buy time. Unlike previous years,
the station is offering transcript
tions of Coughlin's speeches if the
desired time is not available for
direct broadcast. According to
trade publications, a series of 81

the committee was particularly

troll over Palestine. The newspa-

The latest air onslaught was
far more telling than the first. Ten
planes swept in from the sea and
battered the port with about 100
bombs. Forty-six persons were
killed and SO wounded and some
damage was inflicted on property
of the Iraq Petroleum Company
and elsewhere. The Italians
claimed that direct hits were
scored on oil refineries and res
ervoirs and that fires were
touched off in the port. Except
for five policemen all of the cas-

ing that Britain had been able to
consolidate its stragetic position
in the Near East largely through
the important aid given it by the
Jews. 1t was pointed out that Hal

STARK DEFENDS
NAVY BUILDING
Operations Chief Says Over
Two Billion Dollars
Needed By 1945

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-lP-
Admiral Harold R. Stark told the
house naval committee today that
S2,276, 000, 900 would be needed by
1915 to complete the navy's cur
rent and proposed construction OF
las warships and new airplanes.
The chief of naval operations
t stified that in addition to the III
combatant ships proposed in the
pending $1,000, 900 fleet expansion
bill, the navy has asked for funds
to start 10 new ships previously
authorized and has the authority
to build 40 more, if funds are pro-
vided.
Replying to criticism that the
navy should build 6S ships already
authorized before asking authori-
zation for the II new ships, Stark
declared that the current budget in
which the navy asked funds to
start only 10 of the IS was prepar-
ed last July-before the outbreak
of the European war.
"World conditions have changed
since then,'' he explained. "There
was not the same urgency then as
exists. Furthermore, since
then, We have received more in
formation about foreign building"
Furthermore, he said hat the
navy intended to ask the money
for all authorized ships whether
this ~(expansion) bill goes through
or not
81 sincerely hope that those who
have objected that we haven't ask
ed for it will stand by it when we
do"
