of its own. 1t could spoil the
conclusion of this homecoming
day set; but 1t couldn't do any

ial Christmas tree, in the second of
a home series of three games. With

the Sank Centre crew were bend
ing efforts to take this game. With
81 points already scored against
four teams-and only one of these
teams taking seven points against

mighty quick about It, 20 that this
new industry can 60 ahead"
This admonition came after Mr..
Sarnon had told the committee
that the F. G. G. order had
practically knocked unconscious
newborn industry which was
destined to grow within q year to q
billion dollar child and would re-
duce unemployment by 10000. He
said sales Of television receiving sets
In the New. York area had fallen
from 500 for the first week following
the printing Of r. G. AS advertise
ments on television, which were the
direct target Of an attack by the
F. G. c.. to 10 or u last week.
Receiver Manufactured.
Mr.. Sarnon told the committee
the r. G. A. had no interest In freez-
ing Of standards, and that q re-
ceiver with 18 by a inch pictures
had been manufactured, as well as
q projection television set which
would fill a full-sized moving pic
ture screen Of the theater type.
Senator Lundeen said the present
unemployment figures would in
crease If Government bureaus in
Washington continued interference
with business and research. He said
private industry should be permitted
to 60 ahead and build factories and
put men to work.
Mr.. Sarnof told the committee
the F. G. G. based its latest action
on the r. G. A. television adver-
tising and had indicted the cor
poration without q hearing.
Discussing the rapid obsolescence
OF television receivers, and the COM
missions expressed desire to protect
the public, Mr.. Sarnoh said his cor
poration has as much interest in
these lines as the public officials,
because If 1t disappointed the pub
lie it would lose its confidence and
its business. He said a new system
Of sound broadcasting was on the
horizon, frequency modulation, and
If adopted it would make 10000, 900
sound receivers obsolete. He said
the fact that sound broadcasting
was well established did not stop
inventors from continuing research
to find something better. He said If
frequency meditation and television
were stopped now, the industry
might just as well fold up.
Sees Accord Possible.
Mr.. Sarnof told the committee he
was not looking for hearings, trials,
debates or arguments. but wanted
television to 60 ahead. He said If
the chairman and the commission
could sit down with the engineers in
the industry, behind locked doors,
with instructions not to appear until
they reached an agreement, he
thought something definite could be
accomplished.

Dies And FBI

Out of the conferences President Roosevelt
has held with Representative Dies and ad-
ministration officials of the government should
come an understanding that will achieve CO.
operation among all agencies dealing with SUBJ
versive activities. There is no good reason
why such a result cannot be achieved.
Already there has been too much time and
motion wasted on this feud between the Dies
committee and the Department of Justice. A
certain amount of criticism back and forth is
undoubtedly a sign Of health and it is probably
inevitable anyhow, but when it shows signs OF
turning into a knock-down and drag-out fight
it is necessary to call a halt.
The Presidents telegram to Mr.. Dies in re-
ply to a wire in which the Texas representa-
tive called for action to prevent Communist
melted strikes and urged coordination Of in
vestigating bodies, went part of the way to-
ward a meeting of minds. 1t was straightfor-
ward, and there was nothing in it to which Mr..
Dies could properly take offense.
For the functions of a congressional COM
mittee investigating subversive activities and
the functions of the executive branch of gov
eminent, in enforcing the laws in such mat
tiers are different. Presumably a committee Of
inquiry is aiming to get facts on which to base
possible legislation, while the Federal Bureau
OF Investigation is charged with gathering facts
to support prosecution. Clearly, as the Pres.
dent pointed out, this distinction should be
recognized.
If the Dies committee is convinced that the
crux OF the problem is not in the laws but in
failure to enforce them it should say so. The
FBl' on the other hand, has a right to COM
plain If its work is being hampered. Obvious
~ more can be accomplished by joining forces
than by standing at arms length and shouting
charges and counter-charges.
