Consolidation Plan
For Cable Systems
Studied byF. {. {.
Merger Of International
Radio Telegraph Setup
Also Urged in Report

Consolidation of cable and point
to-point radio telegraph systems be-
tween the United States and foreign
countries is strongly urged in a re-
port which the Federal Communica-
tions Commission is studying.
This report, the second phase of
the wire communications study for
Senate interstate commerce sub
committee headed by Senator Bur-
ton K. Wheeler, is expected to de-
velop considerable difference of
opinion among the members of the
commission.
The proposal also is said to have
been opposed by the Navy Depart
ment
While those who have studied the
first report sent to Senator Wheeler
on the proposed domestic wire
merger point out that it is a move
in the direction of Government
ownership, it has been indicated that
discussions of the staff on the inter-
national systems have more def
mite trend in that direction.
One argument for Government
ownership of the international COM
munication systems, and more par
ticularly the radio telegraph, is that
in making agreements for contact
stations in foreign lands it would
be better for two governments to
negotiate rather than private cor
porations and foreign government.

$500 Are Expected
Here Tomorrow for
Youth Congress
Jobs, Peace and Civil
Liberties to Be Slogan
Of Sessions

Singing songs and shouting slo-
gans, $500 young men and women
made their way toward Washington
today for the opening of the Amer
lean Youth Congress at pm. to-
morrow in the Departmental Audi
torium.
College students from the Pacific
Coast, share-croppers from Okla
homa, factory workers from the Mid
die West and Communists from New
York are in the throng.
"We've been getting nothing else
but love, Franklin.
That's the thing that youths
got plenty of. Franklin"
That's what the congress members
are singing for President Roosevelt.
They carry the slogan: Jobs, peace
and civil liberties. They refuse to
rid their ranks of Communist men,
bers, and in letter yesterday they
advised John D. M. Hamilton, chair
man of the Republican National
Committee, to go after "the real
enemies of American democracy and
American youth" instead of shoot
ing at Communists"
To March to White House.
On Saturday morning the youths
will march from the auditorium to
the White House. Up Pennsylvania
avenue in the parade five Chicago
girls, if plans work out, will push
baby carriages hidden by signs:
mo war babies"
On the White House lawn they
will assemble to hear President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Hamilton will not
attend, despite an invitation, but the
officials of the congress say many
young Republicans will take part.
Attorney General Jackson will
start the meeting tomorrow, when
the congress marks its Lincoln Me-
mortal" Passage of the $500, 900, 900
youth Act is the chief goal of the
sessions. To aid their lobbying for
this measure, the youth will sing:
Roll out the ballots, 100000 new
votes to cast"
Reminder of Votes.
They will sing this to the rollick-
ing tune of Roll Out the Barrel" as
a gentle reminder to the members of
Congress that 100000 Americans,
just turned 81, will be eligible to vote
for the first time in the coming cleo
tions.
The congress continues through
Monday. AS prelude to the ma
tlonal meeting, the Washington
Youth Council last night adopted
resolution deploring "the passion for
economy at the expense of security
for the people, now prevalent in
Government circles" which has "re-
suited in a $6,00O0OO cut in the Dis
trict school budget recommended by
the District Board of Education"
The resolution added:
THE action is, of course, COM
plete contradiction to this councils
position on increased school facili-
ties for the District and is a perfect
illustration of the need for a govern
ment by and for the people of WASH
ington and for a Washington Edu-
cation Council composed of all
groups concerned with our schools"

YOUTH AND POLITICS

Robert Walpole and became pre-
mier at the age Of "a.
He held the job many years,
but resigned when George III
took the throne. He, even as
our ancestors, couldn't get along

The verdict of history is that in
this capacity. together with that
OF financial secretary, his adj
ministration was a brilliant sue
cess, especially during the try
ing days of the wars with Ma
poleon.
One thing is certain. Some
day someone will be elected
president who will have to clean
up the mess which has accumu-
lated in Washington during the
past seven years. He will need
youth, vigor of body and mind,
