here that the F. H. A. insurance be
raised to provide for 80 per cent

to operate under it.
A plan suggested by Washington
builders is that instead of raising
the loan limit, the Government
should subscribe the needed 10 per

PROCEDURE FOR
CAR OWNERS
IS OUTLINED
Owners of Cars Wanting To
Qualify for Gasoline Rations
Advised of Definite Require
ments of OPA; Must Have
Vehicle Registration Card.

Simple procedure to be followed by
car-owners in order to obtain gasoline
rations under the general mileage
rationing plan, which will be put into
effect throughout the nation Novem-
Der II, Is and IA has been outlined
by Glenn w. Collins, regional OPA adj
ministrator.
In order to qualify for gasoline ra.
lions, car-owners first must dispose of
all tires in excess of five per vehicle.
The only legal way to dispose of idle
tires is to give or sell them to the
government The Railway Express
Agency has been designated to collect
the tires and deliver them to ware
houses. In communities situated far
from a Railway Express Agency Of
flee, citizens may appoint one of their
number an agent to deliver commun-
ity tires to the nearest Railway Elk
press Agency.
Car-owners must produce a state
vehicle registration card in order to
obtain ration books Neither the GER
tificate of title to the car nor a driv-
er's license win be sufficient for this
purpose. If the state motor vehicle
registration card has been mislaid,
new one may be obtained from the
state motor vehicle department of the
office of the county treasurer, without
cost.
Car-owners must sign the basic APP
plication blank for gasoline rations,
but the signed blank may be pre-
scented to the registrar by person
to use the car, other than
the owner member of the family or
even a friend. The car-owner need
not appear in person to obtain his ra
tioning book.
The serial numbers of the five tires
per vehicle must be listed on the ap-
plication blank. OPA officials stressed
the fact that serial numbers are the
indented numbers - not the raised

RES0L luton TO

NBC and Chs
Norris Files Resolution To
Investigate the National
Broadcasting Chains for
Refusal to Allow the Coop
League to Buy Radio Time.

WASHINGTON. - Sen. George w.
Norris, dean of the senate and always
the champion in battles for the public
interest, has introduced in the senate
a resolution to order the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce to in
vestigate the refusal of the National
Broadcasting Company and the Col
umbia Broadcasting System to sell
radio time to The Cooperative League
of the USA. The resolution went to
Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, chairman of
the committee which is handling all
legislation associated with radio.
Wheeler Immediately said the com
mittee would hear evidence ON the
resolution, and without delay.
The resolution, as presented by Nor
ris, places before the senate an issue
with reference to the radio which has
been smothered by the broadcasting
chains whenever raised. The issue is
the exercise of power of govern
ment, or the exercise of sovereignty
by private radio companies and the
absence of effective legal check upon
the use of this power. Teh issue is,
an issue of tremendous pub
lie interest. Senator Wheeler, Sen.
George D. Aiken of eVrmont and Sen.
William LANCER of North Dakota
Joined in the senate discussion.
Neville Miller, president of the Ma
tional Association of Broadcasters,
jumped into action and into print i'm
after the resolution was in
He declared this was "the
gravest threat to freedom of speech"
and condemned the investigation as
an effort to have the senate determine
who should have radio time. He
charged that eff the proposed investi
that all the advocates of bureaucratic
control of both radio and the press
will be on hand to urge the enactment
Of a law which would put an end to
the American system of broadcast
ing" Miller ignored the purport of
the resolution, which was to fix re-
sponsibility on the broadcasters if
they prejudicially violated the public
interest. His attack was an obvious
effort to prejudice the public against
the co-operatives. That his attack
will backfire on him when his broad
casters have to meet the issue in
volved, is certain.
Chairman James L. Fly of the com
mission on communications, revealed
that the commission had received pro-
tests and had written to the National
Company and the Col
lmbia Broadcasting System for

League was denied radio facilities
