Of New Network Rules

By the Associated Press
The Federal Communications
Commission will not attempt to en-
force its new network regulations
pending a court decision on the pc
tition of two major chains for a
preliminary injunction. A hearing
on the petition in Federal Court in
New York is scheduled for Decem-

The regulations, which govern
contractual relations between the
network companies and individual
stations. had been ordered to take
effect Saturday. Chairman Fly of
the F.. c. c. said the stipulation to
delay enforcement would extend
only TO the date of the courts de-
ciSion on the preliminary injunc-

We did not take the dynamite

the crest of a low hill, and there
we held out until the afternoon.

blazing away with machine guns.

Resistance is useless"
That l knew, and so did every
other man in the trench. But
we had no thought Of surrender.
We would fight until we were
dead. Mortars Numbered and
threw sheets Of rock and mud
on our heads. And then came
a new. dreaded noise: the juicy

We had believed in the revo-

We had hoped that our propa-

revolt when the order was given
to shoot on workers. We were
mistaken. We saw the blue uni
forms run, throw themselves to
the ground, rise and run again.
They were sailors from a de-
stroyer fotilla that had slipped
upriver early in the morning.
Here and there a Communist
threw away his gun and ran.
More followed, and then we all
abandoned our arms and ran.

We occupied the boat-landing

and waited. A tall blue-eyed
youngster from another unit
had donned one of the police uni.

Baumwall a half mile away to
hire a water taxi. a Barkasse.
We posted a sentry up street
to warn us should police ap-

motor trucks passed twice. Each
time we darted into the public
comfort station beneath the
quay. Finally the peaceful
chugging Of a motor told us
that a launch was coming along
the canal. 1t drew alongside the
landing.
The young Communist in
police uniform held his pistol
pressed against the spine of the
launch captain. The launch was
about 40 feet long. with small
cabin in front of the wheel. We
crowded into the cabin. Those
who found no room lay down fiat
in the bottom of the Barkasse.
So, with only the steersman
and the uniformed comrade
visible from the quays, the
launch passed through the end
of the canal, veered into the
broad river and continued up
stream. Nearly 20 men were
aboard the launch. About 4
O'Clock in the morning we landed
on a grassy embankment off
Geesthacht. Again we waited,
crouched close to the ground,
while the boilermaker slipped
away to scout for the points of
assembly.
