Fly Disc|oses F. C.. {.
May Lengthen Radio
Licenses 10 2Years
Negotiations Over New
Commission Regulations
Reported Progressing
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Nations radio stations, which
long have objected to short-term il
cense periods, soon may be licensed
for two years instead of the present
one year.
James Lawrence Fly, chairman Of
the Federal Communications Com
mission, disclosed at a press con-
ference yesterday that a two-year
license period was under considera-
tion. During the last two years
stations have been licensed for one
year. Previously licenses were for
only six months. The Communica-
tions Act fixes three years as the
maximum.
Mr.. Fly said negotiations for
workable notifications" of the
commissions new regulations gov
erning chain broadcasting had made
very considerable progress" He
added that he felt pretty optimis-
tic about the ultimate outcome" of
the negotiations which he is con-
Quoting with representatives of the
three major networks.
The commission chairman made
it clear no definitive conclusion had
been reached at the conferences,
which will be continued tomorrow.
Any proposed changes in rules ten
tatively agreed upon by network
representatives would be the sub
ject OF formal applications to the
commission.
Mr.. Fly said there has been con-
siderable complaint about the option
time of networks. particularly in
cases where much had been set
aside and little used. There had
been consideration of the question
Of extending the limitation of op-
ton time as fixed in the new rules
There had been no extensive dis
cussion up to this time, he said, of
disposal by N. B. C. of one of its
networks or of rate control.
Despite the August 2 deadline for
the new rules, Mr.. Fly suggested
that stations affected stand pat
under their present system until
there was further definite action by
the regulatory body, in the light of
the discussions now going on.

After reading this message "Col.
Britton" urged his listeners to wait
for the word" and he promised
that when the moment comes" the
action would be such that the Ger
mans would be powerless to halt it.
This was interpreted as an in
dication that Britain would call on
against the Germans when and If
the British Army again gets foot
hold on the continent.

"Col. Britton" proclaimed con-
f1dently that ''in few minutes
there will be millions of new VS.

He asked his listeners to tap the
v sign out in Morse code-three dots
and a dash-"so that you comrades
OF the vast army will hear it and
the Germans will hear it, too"
He cautioned that the "V army
must be disciplined army" lend
ing further weight to the interpreta-
ton that the organization might
later be called on for more potent
measures.
Thus in the still of night, with
darkness as a shield, Britain's prop

against Hitler's Germany, an objec-

President Roosevelt said in his last
memorable fireside chat:
ITO all newspapers and radio
stations. 1 say this: You have most
grave responsibility to the nation now,
and for the duration of the war.
IF you feel that your government
is not disclosing enough Of the truth,
you have every right to say so. But
in the absence of all the facts, as re- .
vealed by official sources you have Z
no right to deal out uneonfirmed re-
ports in such way as to make people
believe they are gospel truth
The Presidents policy will be the
policy of The Citizen
This paper accepts the most grave re-
sponsibility' thrust upon il.
AS always, it win publish the facts.
When a story is unconfirmed it viii say so.
1t will not retail rumors. but viii remind the
people of the danger inherent in their dis
semination
There viii be exceptions. The occa-
sion may arise when rumor is received
from source whose authority is too well
established to be ignored. Such rumor
will be printed but it viii be labeled as
such.
However, and as always, The Citizen
viii respect any news given to it in con-
fidence by army and navy officials and
civilian authorities
On its editorial page, The Citizen will
exercise the preregative, conceded by the
President. of criticizing constructively the
conduct of the war. If it feels that the gov
eminent isn't giving enough news, It will
maintain its right, also granted by the
President, to insist that more facts be re-
leased.
The Citizen will at all times cooperate
with the commanding officers of the naval
station and army reservation. 1t will al
ways keep its columns open to the people
of Key West.
The Citizen is pledged for the dura-
ton. 1t will fight shoulder to shoulder
with the people of Key West and the nation
to ultimate and inevitable victory.

FIRST HEAVY TANK

At last the United States has produced
a heavy tank. In fact, Cotton land battle
ship was tested on Monday of last week.
Previous to the production of this tank, U.
S. production lines were turning out only
small (13-tons) and medium (30-tens)
tanks Production of the new heavy tank
viii begin quantity production in about
three or four months.
The test of this monster tank was very
impressive. It climbed a 30-degree incline
without any apparent loss of speed; it with
stood land mines, collision with an ar
mored car, and leveled. off three sets of
heavy pilings.
This big tank is faster than the smaller
tanks and is very streamline The fact that
this Cotton job is welded together gives it
additional resistance qualities. Another
feature is that the wheels and caterpillar
tread are shielded by protective steel
skirt.
Congratulations to the Baldwin Loco

tank to the Army of the United States.

COTTON CLOTHES

There is ample cotton in the United
States Textile mills in New England and
the South are ready to manufacture it for
our use, thus giving employment to many
thousands. 1t is a splendid product of our
farms and factories and we should wear it
and use it more.
The example of Joan Bennett, the
movie star, is interesting. She decided to
make her entire wardrobe from cotton
fabrics. and she succeeded. even beyond her
own expectations. No more silk from Japan
for her, and she has shown US all how we
can advance this typical American product
Of cotton.
I don't think ever quite realized the
many faces of cotton" Miss Bennett says.
Like many other women / thought that cot
ton was confined to gingham. pique, and
calico, but l have found cotton as sheer as
chiffon, velvety eottons, cotton with feeling
of silk and cotton as spongy as WOOL
AS long as this country has is cotton
farms and its textile mills, our ladies need
not want for their clothing materials.
