Press Ownership
Of Radio Stations
Dr.. Fronk l. Mott Tells
F.c.C. Operation by Press
Is 'NoturoI Development
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Aeeocltteo Press.
The Federal Communications
Commission, which Is investigating
newspaper-radio relationship, re-
ceived testimony from a college pro-
fessor yesterday that there should
be no arbitrary prohibitions
against future acquisition OF broad
cast stations by newspaper interests
Dr.. Frank Luther Mott, director Of
the University Of Iowa School of
Journalism, said he felt operation of
broadcast stations by newspapers
was . natural development"
DR.. Mott was the second witness
presented by the Radio
Committee, organized to oppose pro-
hibitions against newspapers enter
ing the radio field. He traced the
history Of American journalism
from Colonial times, and concluded
there had been much improvement.
Recess Il Taken.
After hearing DR.. Mott, the COM
mission adjourned its hearings un-
til next Wednesday. DR.. Frederick s..
Seibert, director Of the University Of
Illinois school Of journalism, Is listed
tentatively as the next witness.
DR.. Mott was questioned at some
length by Commissioner T. A. M.
Craven who, together with Commis-
sioner Norman G. Case, voted
against the commissions investiga-
ton.
mo, I DON'T" the witness replied
when Mr.. Craven asked him whether
he saw any danger In the licensing
Of additional newspapers to operate
radio stations. Answering another
question, he said prohibitions against
newspaper operation Of radio sta
tions would be q strong blow
against the newspapers, economi-
cally and In the matter Of prestige" !"
Press Freedom Unaffected.
DR.. Mott added that he saw no
danger TO the freedom Of the press
from the licensing Of stations to
newspapers.
"Conceivably," he said, "some pa
per whose station was coming up
for license renewal might change
its attitude ON some governmental
question, but this certainly would
not be general"
Testifying there was . "close re-
semblance" between the functions
Of . Newspaper and broadcast sta
ton, DR.. Mott said he did not ad.
vocate that Ill newspapers should
operate stations, but thought pro-
hibitions against such operation
would be unjust"
The newspapepr-radio combina-
ton, he said, gave y certain amount
Of stability" to each other.

Aviation Stocks Lead
Specialized Recovery
In Quiet Market
Final Prices Mildly
IrreeuIor; Around
300, 900 Traded
BY VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK, May 26.-Aviation
stocks led notably specialized re-
covery shift in today's market.
The list exhibited rising inclina-
tions at the opening and, with ac-
tivity picking up for while, ad-
vances of fractions to more than 2
points were well distributed before
midday. Thereafter dealings slowed
appreciably and the majority of top
marks was cut or Cancelled. Mild
irregularity was the rule in the final
hour.
Transfers for the full proceedings
were around 100000 shares.
Early bidding was attributed
partly to bullish interpretations OF
the arrival in London of an impor-
tant United States war mission.
Wall Street saw in this move the
makings of at least an aerial smash
at the Axis powers. The feeling.
consequently. that good news might
be in the offing, prompted enough
short covering and fresh speculative
and investment purchasing to turn
the trend tide Bulletins from Chi
nese and Russian fronts, however,
were none too hopeful and commit
ments generally were lightened or
shelved to await further clariflca-
ton of the international picture.
Among stocks in front the greater
part of the day were Douglas Air
craft, Glenn Martin, Sperry, East
ern Air Lines, Woolworth, United
States Rubber preferred, Dow Chem
ical, Westinghouse. American Can,
Air Reduction, J. c. Penney, Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey and Ana
conda.
Inclined to falter after a good get
away were United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Du Pont, Union Carbide
and youngstown Sheet. Backward
were Montgomery Ward and Sears
Roebuck. Motors and rails followed
slim groove.
Commonwealth & Southern pre-
ferred dropped more than 8 points
just before the close when directors
took no action on the dividend.
Bonds Fairly Steady.
Light demand for number Of
rails and utilities helped keep the
bond market fairly even.
Going into the final hour small
advances had slim majority over
issues unchanged or a shade lower.
Virginia e. Southwestern Console
dated SIS ran up more than points
in late dealings.
United States Governments made
a fair showing on the stock ex-
change and over the counter with
interest centered in the older tax
exempt treasures.

Big War Bond Sales
Termed Barrier 10
Compulsory Plan
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 26.-Robert w.
Sparks. national field director of
the Treasury Departments War
savings stamps campaign. said to-
day that If the War bond sales
quotas were reached this month and
in June and July, it would sound
the death note" on the subject Of
compulsory savings.
Sparks, in an address before the
annual conference of the New York
State Bankers Association, said:
Although we have several days
to 60 before reaching the end of the
month, current sales indicate that
the first quota to be used in the
War savings plan, $500 100000 for
the month of May, will be achieved
and possibly with a small excess"
If the $500 000,0 June quota and
the $1,000, 100000 per month quota
from July on are met, Sparks said,
I'VE will be showing a national rate
of participation on voluntary basis
which would be far in excess of any
amount indicated by the advocates
of compulsory savings system"
Pointing out that there are ap-
proximately 50,500,0 900 income earn
ers in this country, Sparks said the
average rate Of participation in the
War bond plan per individual is a
little better than S per cent Of salary
at the present time.
Sparks paid tribute to the Ma
tons banks, asserting that about
IS per cent Of the dollar value of all
bond sales has been handled by
them without compensation or sub
sidization from the Government.
Adrian M. Massie, vice president
of the New York Trust Co., sug-
gested that the Treasury should
outline some pattern" of financing
for that part Of the Federal deficit
to be financed by the banks.
This pattern" Massie said in an
address before the convention,
should be such that it will have the
whole hearted support. Of the $4,000
commercial banks in the country
and at the same time permit the
Treasury to have complete flexibility
of action"

Furniture Industry
Prepared for Curb
On Mahogany

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. May 26.
Expectations of full Govern
ment priority on mahogany found
the furniture industry here already
prepared for such move today, but
admitting that it would seriously
disturb the situation for a time.
Spokesman for the industry said
many manufacturers have converted
nearly 100 per cent to war work
and the effect of mahogany
priority, while comparable to the
cease production order for the au-
tomobile industry, would therefore
be cushioned.
Charles M. Kindel, past president
of the Grand Rapids Furniture
Manufacturers Association, said the
order probably would mean the end
of furniture manufacturing for his
company, which uses mahogany ex-
clusively. Eventual elimination of
mahogany furniture from the mar
ket was foreseen by Stephen F.
Dunn, executive secretary of the as
ISOLATION.
The priority order, Kindel said,
would result in a labor dislocation
"as relatively serious as the auto
mobile industry experienced when it
turned from motor cars to arma-
ments."
Official sources in Washington dis
closed that the War Production
Board was expected to take full
priority control over production,
sales and deliveries of mahogany
and Philippine mahogany in view of
a shortage of shipping space for
the imported wood.
Dunn said he did not anticipate
serious financial consequences.
I'VE have been expecting this and
other restrictions for a long time"
Dunn said. when the order comes,
it will find most of the Grand Rap
ids manufacturers well along with
plans to turn their full production
to the war effort"

NEW YORK, May 26.-American
ingenuity .. is gradually freeing the
country from dependence on certain
raw materials usually obtained from
areas now controlled by the Japa-
nese, George S. Brady of the Of
flee of Imports Board of Economic
Warfare told the National ASsocia-
ton of Purchasing Agents today
The chemical industry during the
past year has been outstanding with
new and substitute materials" Mr.
Brady, chief of the boards materials
statistics division, said. Out of the
common resin in Furpentine we now
have a series of synthetic resins that
do a good job of replacement of
the various varnish gums and resins
that the Japs took from US in the
Far East.
Oils Are Replaced.
"We are now independent of the
camphor and menthol from Japan.
Far Eastern tung oil no longer
causes us any worry. Practically
every natural perfume oil that We
formerly got from the Far East has
now been replaced with syn
thetic.
South and Central American
countries comprise veritable store
house of trees and plants yielding
food oils, paint oils and medicinal
products"
Mr.. Brady said, however. not to
expect too much from synthetic
rubber"
1t is better than natural rubber
for certain uses, but it will not
replace natural rubber completely"
he said. Alternate natural rub
bers such as guayule and chryslI
have good possibilities"
In his opinion. Mr.. Brady said,
before we are through with the
present effort We will be using
aluminium and magnesium as Substi-
tutes for other metals, even in
ships"
Waste Paper Piles Up.
E H. Weaver, chief of the non
metal section of the conservation
and substitution branch of the War
Production Board, declared it nee
essary to soft pedal" the Govern
ment's waste paper salvage CAM
paign because more stock was now
being stored than could be used.
Organizations, he said. had really
gone to town in their efforts to COL
lect paper and increasing stocks had
definitely affected prices.
Aluminium production of 100000
pounds, six and one-half times the
1889 production, was pictured for
the end of l943 by Thomas D. jolly,
director of purchases and chief en-
gineer of the Aluminium Co. of
America, Pittsburgh.
Each of the new aluminium plants
will produce more aluminium than
the entire Nation made at the peak
of production in the first World
War;" he said.
