NEW YORK, July 30.-The Amer
lean Society of Composers. Authors
and Publishers said today it had
tentatively approved the basis of
an agreement with the National
Broadcasting Co. TO return A. S.
C. A. P. music to N. B. c. air lanes.
An A. S. c. A. P. spokesman said
the proposal was submitted by
N. B. C. and approved by A. S. c. A. P.
last night, but was being returned
today with the request that N. B. c.
eliminate certain clauses which
A. S. C. A. P. says have nothing
to do with rates Of payment for
A S. c. A. P. music.
The society's music has been
missing from N. B. c. outlets since
January l as a result of a dispute
over payment rates.
N. B. C. was expected to consider
A. S. C. A. P.'s revision request
today and A. S. c. A. P. said 1t
hoped a joint statement explaining
details of the proposals could be
made later.

Closing Gas Stations
At Night Predicted
As Rationing Move
Action Likely in Few
Weeks in District and
Along Atlantic Coast

Rationing Of oil products in the
District and other points along the
Atlantic Seaboard probably will be
started within the next few weeks,
it was learned today, with the first
curtailment plans expected to in
volve the closing of filling stations
II hours a day, from p m. to Z am.
Sources close to the ONCE of the
Petroleum Co -ordinator for National
Defense, which long has considered
voluntary control, predicted the
rationing. The Government is wait
ing only for reports from major
Eastern oil companies regarding the
oil shortage before acting, 1t was
said.
The shortage is the outgrowth Of
the diversion of oil tankers to the
British war effort.
The normal daily oil requirement
of States along the Atlantic Sea-
board is about 1,500 900 barrels. With
the transfer to Britain in May of
so tankers, the potential flow of oil
to this sector was reduced by some
100000 barrels daily.
More Tankers for Britain.
Nearly two weeks ago it was re-
ported that Petroleum Co-ordinator
Ickes planned to ask the oil industry
for an additional 100 tankers for
Britain. If these were transferred it
would leave only 1876 to supply the
United States, according to tanker
registry figures compiled last March.
1t is estimated that from 10 to rs
per cent of all tankers registered in
this country have been engaged in
the Gulf Coast-Atlantic Seaboard
service. For years they have sup
piled the East with more than 80 per
cent of the oil it consumed.
The rationing plan undertaken by
the Government is expected to COM
bine both voluntary and involuntary
features. With the 12-hour closing
of filling stations, it was said, will
come another appeal to the public to
restrict its consumption Of gasoline
motor and fuel oil
Mr.. Ickes, however. is known to be
disappointed with efforts at volun-
tary control. He recently revealed
that during the week following his
request to the public to cut gasoline
consumption 1873 per cent there had
been reported increase Of 2.7 per
cent.
Pipe Line Route Being Surveyed.
During 1899, the East Coast con-
sumed approximately 36 per cent of
all motor fuel used in the United
States: over 46 per cent of the light
fuel oils. over 40 per cent Of the
residual fuel oil and 64 per cent OF
all kerosene.
To alleviate the shortage. Co.
ordinator Ickes asked the oil in
/ dustry to undertake construction of
pipe line from Texas and the mid
continent to New York and Phila-
delphia that would transport 250,000
barrels of crude oil daily.
The proposed route Of the pipe is
being surveyed. but 1t will take Is
to 18 months to build it, oil men
say. A tanker building program also
has been started but it will be many
months before the first of the ships
can be put to use.

normally. Labor has far more to
gain from price stability than from
abnormal wage increases. For
these are likely to be llluSory. and
quickly overtaken by sharp rises
in living costs which fall with par
ticular hardship on the least fortu-
nate of our workers and our old
people.
There will always be need for
wage adjustments from time to
time to rectify inequitable situa-
tions. But labor as whole will
fare best from labor policy which
recognizes that wages in the defense
industries should not substantially
exceed the prevailing wage rates in
comparable non-defenSe industries
where fair labor policies have been
maintained. Already through the
efforts of the National Defense
Mediation Board and wage stabili-
"a ton committees wage standards
are being established and a measure
of wage stability is being brought
to particular industries. 1t is ex-
pected that such activities will be
continued, extended, and made in
creasingly effective.
I recognize that the obligation not
to seek an excessive profit from the
defense emergency rests with equal
force on labor and on industry, and
that both must assume their re-
sponsibilities if We are to avoid in
fiation.
I also recognize that We may ex-
pect the whole-hearted and volun-
tary cooperation of labor only when
it has been assured a reasonable
and stable income in terms Of the
things money will buy, and equal re-
straint or sacrifice on the part of all
others who participate in the de-
fense program. This means not only
a reasonable stabilization OF prices
and the cost Of living, but the ef-
fective taxation of excess profits anc
purchasing power In this way alone
can the Nation be protected from
the evil consequences of a chaotic
struggle for gains which must prove
either illusory or unjust, and which
must lead to the disaster of un-
checked imitation.

2O9d Auto Output Cut
In Next Three Months
Seems Certainty
Reduction in Radio Sets
For RetuiI Sole Also
Likely in Near Future

Curtailment of civilian automobile
production by more than 20 per
cent in the next three months and
a sharp reduction in the number
of radio sets TO be made for retail
sale seemed a certainty today after
studies by defense production and
priorities authorities.
The automobile estimate was
reached yesterday in a conference
between industry representatives
and William S. Knudsen and Leon
Henderson. E. r. Stettinius, priori-
ties director, made the announce
ment about radio production.
Mr.. Knudsen. director of the Office
Of Production Management. and
Mr.. Henderson, administrator OF
prices and civilian supply, called
on automobile makers TO submit
additional information on truck out
put and on the timing of the
transfer of labor to the $4,000 900 .00C
worth of defense work which the
industry has undertaken.
Definite ALLEGATIONS on produc-
ton of 1912 models will be made
when the data are available, Of
ficials said.
preliminary passenger car pro-
duction schedules for the months
of August. September and October
were discussed, the o. P. M. said
in a statement, and it was the
general feeling of the Government
representatives that the industry S
tentative production schedules were
too high and would probably have
to be adjusted"
The industry has agreed to a cut
of about 20 per cent below l94l
model production which was pro-
posed by Mr.. Knudsen, who has
since intimated that a further cur
tailment would be necessary. Mr.
Knudsen opposed too sudden re-
StrlctlonS. however, on the ground
that they would create unemploy-
ment.
Mr.. Henderson proposed a tenta-
tive program calling for a cut
approximately 50 per cent. How
ever, he asked for only a 20 per
cent cut during the first three
months Of the model year.
Accordingly, it had been believed
generally that any cut greater thar
20 per cent would not be put into
effect until November.
The July allotment OF aluminium
for radio purposes was 11000t
pounds, of which 10000 pound,
represented scrap. The radio in.
dustry's average monthly consump.
ton of aluminium in 1910 was 333,.
900 pounds.
Mr.. Stettinius said that the in.
dustry would be required to resort
to substitutes as rapidly as posslDl,
and that in future months alloca.
tions Of aluminium would be de.
creased.

Transocean Offers
To Enlarge Free
Service in Brazil
Agency Finds Opportunity
In Rio Order Thot Papers
Must Use Only Wire News

By the Associated Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO, July 30.-The
German governments Transocean
News Agency has offered TO enlarge
its free services to some newspapers
outside Rio de Janeiro which under
government orders are permitted TO
publish foreign news only when re-
layed through this capital city.
One publisher who has been
printing a small amount OF Trans
ocean news was informed by the
Nazi agency that 5000 words would
be provided by telegraph daily with
out expense.
News Must Be Relayed.
Newspapers outside Rio de ia
neiro not only are prohibited from
receiving foreign news directly from
abroad, but also are forbidden to-
publish news heard on ordinary ra-
dio transmissions or copied from
foreign newspapers reaching them.
Thus the only method 10 optalni
publishable foreign news Is by relay
from here. The order which went
into effect in some states immedl-
ately-When issued July 26 became
nationwide Monday with Rio Grande
do Sui the last state to make 1t
effective.
The major United States news
organizations now telegraph their
most important news to their mem
bers and clients these papers losing
one to three hours thereby In addi-
iton, papers which heretofore had
available several thousand words
daily through direct radio reception
now use only 1000 to $500 words
because minimum telegraphic tolls
from Rio de Janeiro have quad
rupled the costs.
May Reduce Telegraph Tolls.
Thus Transocean, offering free
service with tolls paid had an Op-
portunity to increase the quantity
of its news published 10 fill the gaps.
A Government spokesman de-
clared in answer to protests that
Brazil was not willing to lift the
ban but probably would reduce the
press rate on the national tele-
graph.
This would enable -subsldlze1
news organizations TO send a much
greater quantity Of news and thus
would put them on almost the same
competitive basis with subsidized
agencies as before the ban took
effect.
Transocean is German overseas
radio service which provides its
services free OF at low cost. 1t has
no connection with any American
news agencies.
1t was convicted by Federal Dis
trict Court in Washington and fined
$1,000 last Saturday for failing TO
register under the Foreign Agents
Act. At the trial a Federal prose-
cutor called Transocean "a propa-
ganda arm of the Navi government. D."
