the wishes of the majority of citi-
zens in regard to birth control"
This. said the c. D. A. resolution,
implied that "the majority of
Catholics of our country were in
favor of birth control" After pro-
testing that as a direct reflection, II
the resolution concluded:

Defense, Harrison Says
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March Earl G..
Harrison, special assistant to the
United States Attorney General,
asserted yesterday a disturbing
and apparently increasing tend
ency" to employ only American
citizens may easily interfere with
our national defense program"
A former director of alien reg
istration, Mr.. Harrison told the 18th
annual conference of the National
Council of Naturalization and Citi-
zenship:
Throughout New England, in the
tier of indGstrialized States from
New York and New Jersey west
through Wisconsin, and on the
Pacific Coast, citizenship is being
generally specified in both defense
and non-defense industries.
when those industries which do
not absolutely require citizens in
sist on citizenship, not only does
this restrict their own potential re-
cruiting possibilities, but it de-
creasos the reserve available for
aircraft and other defense in
dustries."
He said the employment of aliens
was restricted by the Government
only where the employer was en-
gagged in work under "seeret, con-
fidential. or restricted Government
contracts and in the manufacture
of aircraft or aircraft parts.

&c. {. Drafts Rules
Designed 10 Prevent
1elevision Monopoly
Will Provide Busis for
Discussion at Hearing
To Sturt Here March 20
BY WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.

Proposed new Federal Communi-
cations Commission rules for the
commercialization of television
would prevent any monopolistic
control Of the new form of radio
entertainment.
While specifically prohibiting any
person or corporation from control
ling more than one station in a serv-
ice area, unless showing 1t would
foster competition, one of the pro-
posed rules lays down an affirmative
policy that the commission will con-
slider the ownership. operation or
control of more than three television
broadcast stations to constitute the
concentration of control in a manner
inconsistent with the public interest.
Hearing Starts March 20.
The drafts just made public,
which also include proposed en-
gineering rules, have not received
the approval of the commission, ex-
cept for the purpose of providing q
basis for discussion at public hear
ing to begin here on March 20. The
proposed rules resemble those in
existence more than a year ago,
when the commission suddenly sus-
pended a previously issued CONNER
cialization order because of It's ,ex-
pressed fear that a receiver sales
campaign in New York City by the
Radio Corp. of America might freeze
television standards to the system of
transmission developed by that
corporation.
To obtain license. an applicant
must show he has adequate sources
of program material to render salts
factory television broadcasts and
that he will be able to compete with
any other station in his area.
Would Regulate Hours.
The proposed rules also would pro-
hibit the television licensee from
charging fees for production and
transmission of programs when con-
Quoting technical experiments. They
would require a licensee to transmit
programs at least five hours a day,
two hours of which would be be-
tween 2 and 6 pm. and two hours
between 7 pm. and II pm. If the
station broadcasts motion picture
film, the station would be required
to announce that fact at the begin
ming of the broadcast.
The commission, in offering the
tentative rules, pointed out that
some of them are alternatives, and it
desires to hear interested parties on
their advisability and effect.
