CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The National
Broadcasting Co., the Columbis
Broadcasting System and the Radio
Corp. of America are accused of
monopolistic practices in two civil
suits filed in Federal Court by the
Justice Departments Antitrust
Division.
The Government seeks to compel
N. B. c. to divorce its red and blue
networks by retaining one and SELL
ing the other. It asks also that
c. B. S. be required to give up
ownership or stock Of any radio
station in a city in which there
are no more than four stations.
In addition, the suits filed yester-
day requested that both NJ B. C..
and c. B. S. be enjoined from
making exclusive contracts with
broadcasting stations, from making
contracts running longer than two
years and from preventing manu-
facturers of electrical transcriptions
from making transcriptions in af-
f1liated stations.
The Government alleged that
N. B. c. was affiliated or controlled

House, Senate Farm State Members Muster Forces

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 A blunt statement that the Admin istration could have stemmed the rising cost of living months ago had it demonstrated courage and strong leadership" came from Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Indiana, as the House opened debate on anti imitation legislation.
 He was followed to the floor by Rep, A. J. Sabath of Illinois, who declared that under the powers delegated in the bill, the President could proceed to bring equity and justice to the farmer as well as the wage earner."
 Halleck maintained that Congress itself with a little encouragement from the Administration would have written overall controls against in- flation last year when it passed the price control act.
 Meanwhile, in both the House and Senate, lawmakers from the farm States are mastering their forces in the fight to include the cost Of farm labor in the Government form ula for fixing ceiling prices on farm prices and thus would put the partly based ceilings higher

 Some Protests

WASHINGTON, Sept. p. = Four men, among them. Senator Edwin C.. Johnson of Colorado, are seeking to forestall the junking of the Denver Rio Grande Western Railroad. a narrow gauge line running between Alamosa and Durango, Colorado.
 The Senator announced that the War Production Board is requisi- tioning transfer of the railroad to Alaska in connection with the con- struction of an Alaska Canada line.
 Protests were made to the Office of Defense Transportation by Sem ator Johnson. and by Judge John ORourke, of Durango, who said the railroad represents 65,000 people in the Colorado area and around.
 Said Johnson, We have had no assurance from officials with whom we have conferred and presented everything we could to show that the operation of the road was vital to the war effort"
 Johnson said that he had learned that the War Department requested the requisition order and withheld approval temporarily to permit pro- tests to be made.
 The proposed railroad to Alaska would run from Prince George and would greatly aid in the transpor- tation problem to the Territory. The proposed route has been surveyed.

World Famous Architect, Also Writer of Books,
 Dies in Boston

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 22.-Ralpn Adams Cram, 79, world famous architect, died here today after an illness of two weeks.
 A blueprint , of the career of Ralph Adams Cram, one of the worlds foremost architects, would be sectioned into a six-fold pat tern, describing him as artist, phil osopher, teacher, writer on techni- cal and social studies, and man of deep religious convictions.
 Structures such as the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, and buildings of the Military Academy at West Point and at Princeton University stand as tan gible monuments to him, the ex- ponent of Gothic architecture.
 But, in his writings and public utterances there is testimony that he sought also to blueprint the facades of a new world civilization.
 New Civilization Theory
 He envisioned a way of life in which humanity would return to the land,' spiritual values would dominate the material, the people would be divided into craft "guilds" resembling those of the Middle Ages, the mode of living would be stripped of many mechanical things, and government everywhere would take on the idea of the medieval kingships.
 He was almost Cassandra-l like in his profound pessimism regard ing the fate of all forms of govern ment The republican, democratic, communistic, dictatorial emeutes of the last 200 years" he once said, 1 were engendered by those impulses with which, traditionally, hell is paved.
