GET Off, Ship Biscuit
Hopes Of Circle N
In Ing|ewood
Troiner Finnegon Apt
To Scratch Big Pebble
AT Hollywood Park
Hy the Associe ted Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, June 21.-Headed
by Edward S. Moore's Big Pebble, IA
thoroughbreds which would like
crack at the $4,000 Gold Cup July
19, were nominated for the $4,000
IngleWood Handicap at Hollywood
Park today over a mile and a six
teenth route.
Big Pebble, winner of the $4,000
Widener Cup in Florida last winter,
Was one of four entries named by
the Circle M Ranch. Ship Biscuit,
Get Of and Battle Colors were the
other three.
Other nominations were Hysteri-
cal, assigned top weight of l26
pounds; Royal Crusader. No Compe-
tition, Mr.. Grundy, Woof Woof,
SWeepida, Pictor, EXemplify, Sir
Jeffrey and Mount Vernon. No
competition and Woof Woof were
the Robinson and Philpot entry.
Rumors were current that Trainer
Bill Finnegan might declare Big
Pebble and Battle Colors as last
minute scratches and pin the sta
bie'S hopes on Get Off and Ship
Biscuit The latter last Monday
won a mile and a sixteenth allow
ance race by four lengths in only
three fifthS of a second off the
track record of 1:43
Today's handicap had been one
of Big Pebbles summer objectives,
but the horse came along so rapidly
in training that Finnegan raced him
in a siX-furlong event Monday. He
finished a close third to Hysterical
and Big Ben and probably would
have won at a longer distance.
If Big Pebble runs, w. L. Brann's
Pictor likely will be one of his
closest rivals. Pictor is a stable
mate of the great Challedon, and
undoubtedly will be the Brann color
bearer in the big handicap next
month should Challedon fail to
round into form. The 4-year- -old
PiCtor won last years Chesapeake
Handicap and is co-holder of
Hollywood Parks record for 7 fur
longs.

Radio Hearings Halt

Resume in July

Chairman Wheeler said today the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee would give both sides time
to COOL off while ii delayed for two
weeks further hearings on pro-
posal to investigate the Federal
Communications Commission and
broadcasting in general.
The committee wound up a series
Of hearings yesterday with teSti-
mony of four radio station operators
in opposition and one in support of
the commission new rules affecting
broadcasting. Among other things,
these rules would ban the optioning
Of time by local stations to the
chains and would force N. B. C. to
dispose of one of its two networks.
Senator Wheeler said the COM
mittee would resume its inveStiga-
ton of the new regulations about

Fly of the commission was expected
TO testify in rebuttal TO some of the
charges made against the board.
coercion charged.
Hope H. Barroll. jr, executive
manager of WFRB at Baltimore.
testifying in support of the new
rules, contended the chains had
been "coercing" their officials. He
said he had received what he con-
Sidered "veiled threat from an
official of the National Broadcast
ing Co that his station might be
transferred from N. B. C.'s Red"
network to what he said was the less
lucrative Blue" because of a dis
agreement over use of time.
AS result, Mr.. Barroll said his
station cleared time for an N. B. C.
commercial program by shifting a
local-interest program it had been
broadcasting for several years.
WFBR will change over to the
Mutual Broadcasting System Octo-
ber l, Mr.. Barrou added.
Station Fears Contract Loss.
Charles P. Masbrook. owner of
Weak at Burlington, Vt, expressed
fear that the regulations might lead
Columbia Broadcasting System to
discontinue its present contract
with Weak.
The station could not pay in cash,
Mr.. Hasbrook testified, for the tele-
phone line charges involved in
bringing chain programs in from AL
bany-a charge that it now meets by
yielding time to C. B. S.
Senator Bone, Democrat, of Wash
ington expressed amazement when
Mr. Hasbrook said his telephone line
costs ran somewhere between $500
and $4,000 yearly, and another wit
ness-J. w. Lee. manager of KGFF
at Shawnee, Okla.-testified that
his station had paid $500 per mile
per month rent for a class &C" line
to pipe in Mutual programs.

of radio revenues which go to the

Stebbins Considering
Saturday Race for
Midget Autos

A plan to hold midget racing next
Saturday in the event Tuesdays
program again is cancelled by rain
is being considered by Walter Steb-
bins, racing director of the West
Lanham Speedway.
On Saturday, races generally are
held at Cedarhurst, Long Island, but
Stebbins says there are enough
midget autos in the East to hold
races at both plants the same eve
ming if necessary.
Stebbins does not believe such a
move will be necessary, though. The
track as completed now can be
dried in less than an hour after a
heavy rain, according to General
Manager Edward Mahoney.
