FEC. Chairman Plans
Franchise Tax on All
Communications
Would Expand Levy
To Telephone and
Telegraph Companies

All branches of the communica.
tions industry will be included in
the proposed plan of a franchise
tax, which was originally proposed
as charge only against radio
broadcast stations, Chairman James
Lawrence Fly of the Federal Com
munications Commission announced
today.
Mr.. Fly said that telephone and
telegraph companies as well as
point-to-point radio telegraph COM
panies were to be made subject of
the proposed tax when the plan is
finally completed.
Mr.. Fly said that the commission
at this time did not have the tax
plan in any concrete form but in
view of the indications that Con-
gress might not approve proposed
tax on time sales of the radio
broadcasting companies he would
start work on the tax scheme within
a short time. He said the broad
casters had indicated a sympathetic
interest toward the proposed fran
chise tax but that he had not yet
talked over the matter with the
representatives of the telephone and
telegraph companies.
The tax plan would include, he
said, practically every phase of the
radio branch Of the industry except,
perhaps, the amateur stations. Mr..
Fly said that after the commission
experts have worked out tentative
formula for the proposed tax. that
it is his plan to call in all of the
representatives Of the communiCa-
tions companies which would be
affected, by the tax for a round-
table discussion.

like people"
There are other means of ag-
gression than the use Of armies"
the paper said.
The big newspaper Nichi Nichi
said the Presidents words ''indi-
cate his uneasiness over the ma
tional defense industry" which 1t
said was apparently very slow.
"If his silence about Japan means
readiness to accept principles laid
down by Japan, there Is some cause
for hopefulness," it said, but this
country cannot be a party to any
scheme of world adjustment which
retains the old status quo. Japan
takes a position of watchful wait
ing to see what this new silence
portends."

Germans Declare
U. S. Executive Assumes
Role Of Kerensky,'
Berlin Sources Soy
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Sept. 2. - President
Roosevelt's Labor Day speech was
described by authorized German
sources today as developing moth
ing new whatever" as to foreign
policy but revealing the American
executive, from the domestic view
point in the role of Kerensky.
These sources said Alexander
Kerensky, Socialist leader who
served as premier of Russia in 1917,
tried TO use Bolshevism for his i'm
perialistic plans, but had to learn
that "Bolshevism goes its own way"
Similarly. they said, President
Roosevelt Is now flirting with Boil
shevism to use it for his ends"
These sources expressed the opin-
ion there was a discrepancy in the
Roosevelt address for, they said, on
one hand he emphasized workers
rights in phrases directed to Mos
cow and, on the other hand, stressed
principles such as religious freedom,
which Bolshevism can never &C
knowledge.
They said he forgot to mention
"the most important freedom-The
right to work.
In brief but sharp attacks, the
controlled German press said work
ers in the United States were still
fighting for rights which were taken
as matter of course in Europe at
the turn of the century"
For that reason" said the Deut-
sche Allgemeine zeitung. "Roose-
velt guarded against dealing with
these matters too extensively and
soon arrived at the favorite old
theme of bad Nazis.'
"In order that workers won't think
about their rights, Roosevelt says
they should work harder to enable
the British to continue the war"

Personal Hatred of Axis
Charged to Roosevelt

ROME, Sept. 2 lP.-Fascist circles
said today that President Roose-
velts promise to do everything
possible to crush Nazi forces was
inspired by personal hatred for Ger
many and Italy.
Otherwise they interpreted the
speech as recognition that United

antee of victory for the democ-
racies."
President Roosevelt "does not
hesitate to declare loudly he is
motivated by implacable hatred
against the Axis powers" the news
paper Popolo di Roma said, "and
his action, inspired by his personal
sentiment which profoundly honors
those against whom it is directed,
will be conducted to the end re-
gardless of the different opinion of

10000 Gas Dealers
Irked by Low Quotas,
May Close Stations
Philadelphia Meeting
To Protest to President,
Retailers Head Says
BY the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IA gen.
eral stoppage Of service at most OF
the Eastern Seaboard's 100000 gaso-
line stations is held out as pos
sibility unless the Government in
sures the dealers living margin" +"
This was predicted by Benjamin
L. Jacoby, head of the Associated
Gasoline Retailers of Philadelphia
and vicinity, who said such a holi-
day would be discussed along with
gasless Sundays by the Eastern
States conference of gasoline re-
tailers opening here today.
THE dealers are going to protest
all phases of this curtailment to
Washington, to President Roosevelt
himself If necessary" declared Mr..
Jacoby.
Quota Operation Cause.
He said station operators were
being driven to consider closing by
new Government regulations effec-
tive yesterday under which stations
from Maine to Florida were put on
September gasoline quota Is per
cent under their July sales to coun-
teract the oil shortage.
Asserting Acting Petroleum CO.
ordinator Ralph K. Davies, who
fixed the quota, doesn't know the
first thing about the gasoline busi-
ness" Mr.. Jacoby claimed July was
a poor month because of vacations
and that by basing the quota on a
month of low sales the actual re-
duction would be about Is per cent.
Price Administrator Leon Hem
derson set q maximum fair price of
1872 cents here-4 cents above tank
wagon rates-although some charged
more. Mr.. Jacoby said the Govern
ment must permit dealers to boost
prices sufficiently to offset their
losses in sales volumes, otherwise:
Dealers will have to be kept in
business on curtailed basis by a
direct Government subsidy or will
hnd 1t just about as cheap to close
up and lose money as to stav open
and lose money under the present
Government setup."
Public Would Feel Closing.
Mr.. Jacoby asserted that if the
sc, 900 dealers the 17-State Eastern
Conference members claim to rep
resent closed their stations for only
three or four days, the Nation
WOULD soon recognize the need for
Keeping them open. Even the de-
tense program would feel it,"
"As for the oil shortage that thev
say Is the cause of it ALL" he con-
tlnued, Il don't believe there is such
thing. I'd like them to show me.
There are plenty of tank cars avail
able to haul the oil East if the big
companies wanted to pay the extra
freight"
A railroad spokesman said carriers
linking the gas-thirsty Eastern sea-
board with Texas and Oklahoma oil
fields have slashed their crude oil
freight rates so per cent to facilitate
shipments. but Samuel B. Eckert.
sun Oil vice president in charge of
sales, estimated not more than 5
per cent of the oil and gas used in
the East could be moved by tank
cars.
