White, Radio Control
Law Co-author, Favors
Rewriting Of Act
Statement on Monopoly
Needed, He Says After
Clash With Fly
BY J. A. OLEARY.

Congress should rewrite the Radio
Control Act and say specifically
what constitutes monopoly in broad
casting, Senator White, Republican,
Of Maine, co-author of the original
law, declared today.
He made the proposal after clash
A1g with Chairman James l.. Fly
of the Federal Communications
Commission before a Senate COM
mittee over the commissions au-
thority to issue its new rules, ban
ming exclusive contracts by stations
with one network and requiring the
National BroadcaSting Co. to get rid
OF one of its two networks
What Is there to the claim that
n there are no exclusive contracts
between stations and network,
advertising agencies could come in
and pick out only the stations they
want here and there?" Committee
Chairman Wheeler asked.
II don't think that is wholly feaS-
fble,' Mr.. Fly replied. For one rea-
son, he said. some of the big stations
are owned by the existing networks.
He thought the advertising agency
would have to provide its own
studio. arrange for wire facilities
and do practically everything else
that goes with a network setup.
Chairman Wheeler announced
chat the committee will recess this
afternoon until next week. when
broadcasting companies. He also
said he would call Commissioner
Craven. one of the two members
who voted against the new rules.
Explaining the five-year exclusive
contracts which the new rules would
abolish. Mr.. Fly testified that, while
the affiliated stations are bound for
five years, the network binds itself
for only one.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado. asked if the witness be-
1eved the commission has power to
approve or disapprove the contracts
Mr. Fly said he did not think the
commission could go into such ques-
tons as rates or programs, but that
ne felt 1t had authority to make
the new rule against exclusive af-
flliate contracts.
Defending the rule that would
require N. B. c. to dispose of ore
of its two networks. Mr.. Fly testified
that, with the number of stations
limited by the physical factors. it is
wholly unreasonable" for one net
work organization to have two out
lets in the same area He said
N B. c. has two outlets in New
York, Chicago, Washington and San
Francisco.

Budget
Continued From First Page

the budget, the subcommittee was
told, can be met without altering
the present tax structure or increas-
ing present tax rates. At the same
time the subcommittee was urged
to keep the 1912 appropriation
within anticipated revenues to avoid
any increases in taxes.
Indications are the subcommittee
will approve a $50 900 900 budget,
which is about So $500 900 above the
amount recommended earlier in the
year. Since then. however, many
supplemental items have been sub
mltted as result of the national
emergency and the defense pro-
gram which raised the total of
items in the original budget.
The 1912 budget as approved by
the Budget Bureau called for ssh
SS0263. The supplemental items,
which also were given Budget
Bureau o. K. together with antici-
pated deficiencies, raised the figure
to actually S54 ,e85.OOO
Surplus Possible.
The subcommittee has been told,
1t was said, that despite the ad-
dltions to the budget, the District
will be able to meet a SIS, 000, 90
figure and yet end the new fiscal
year with a surplus of about Sc 500.
There is no intention on the part
Of the subcommittee, it was de-
clared, to recommend an increase in
the present 100000 Federal pay
ment toward municipal expenses,
although some of the additional eX-
penses facing the District govern
ment are due to the influx of ma
tional defense workers.

tee, lis matter for the District

This committee approved the
Overton bill. which would have
raised the Federal payment to
approximately $4,000 900 in the
coming fiscal year, but the House
rejected it,
Tax Increases Possible.
While the 1912 appropriation bill
to be submitted by the subcom-
mittee will keep within estimated
available revenue for the year, it
was pointed out, any additional de-
mands made on the District be-
cause of the national emergency
might necessitate increased taxes.
Latest among the emergency re-
quests-an item not provided in
either the regular or supplementary
estimates-is an appropriation of
100000 to establish a camp for the

Motor Club of the American Auto
mobile Association. was that the
appropriation for artificial illumi-

ducing the traffic fatality record.

extension of the appropriation for

personnel. He said he thought the

very conservative.
Shift Changes Suggested.
More efficient use of the present

the North Atlantic. The knee" is
the explanation.
1t comes during magnetic storms
and has two parts. First, DR.. Hal
borg said, is a period of turbulence
when the electrified air in the upper
atmosphere that transports radio
waves is greatly disturbed.
In this phase, he said. the amount
of power at the radio antenna need
ed to force a signal across to Europe
may have to be multiplied as much
as 1900 fold.
In its second part, the knee
becomes perfectly calm. and alb
serbs all radio signals, so that
nothing can be forced through.
In explanation of what happens,
DR.. Halborg said that in the tur-
bulent stage the suns rays, and
possibly corpuscular particles from
the sun, upset the ionized sheets
which normally lie at levels that dc
not change rapidly.
In the second phase, these ionized
layers seem to spread out into a
wall of ionized air so vast tha
nothing gets through.
The reason why this happens over
the North Atlantic is the close prox-
unity of the magnetic North Pole
in Canada.
