SUCEDIDo A KANT

La casa donde vivi6 Kant, era
austera, sombria, gabinetes reti-
radios, un comedorcito, una alcoba
rodeada de cortinitas, un, patio
glacial y un tejado negro y relu-
ciente. Habia libros empolvados
y tapetes de seda marilla.
Todo estaba muy ordenado y
nc Sc Dian jamas voces, nj ruidos,
nj blasfemias, nj suspiros de amor
nj una persona tan excitada, que
desc por ejemplo, saltos.
Por la noche esta casa todavia
tenia un aspecto apacible, alum
brada por bajos quinques verdes,
pero durante ell dfa con la helada
claridad que Sc filtraba por las
ventanas, la casa toda tomaba un
aspecto desolado o mas bien des-
mantelado. FL ambiente Y hasta
los mismos muebles adquirian un
aire incisivo y punzante propicio
a excitar de una manera helado-
ra los espiritus. En- medic de es-
te fantastico lugar, resonaban a
horas fijas, los met6dicos pasos
del fil6sofo.
Sucedia a menudo, que con la
temperature glacial que hacia en-
Koeningsberg y con la mania que
tenia Kant de levantarse muy tenn
prano, este gigantic estaba general
mente muy constitpado, Y andaba
con frecuencia con los ojos hincha
dos y lacrimosos de n habita-
ci6n a otra.

do constantemente en- differences

insistencia a su anna de llaves, Sc

Route Zone System
For Auto Pools

Washington's new route zone plar
for car pools was launched yesterday
at a meeting in the District Build
ing attended by Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer, metropolitan
transportation officers and wal
agency officials.
The plan involves the use of large
scale maps for accurate metering of
car pool routes and windshield
numbers to guide persons desiring to
obtain rides.
The maps were distributed to
transportation committee represent
atives yesterday and from now on
the problem of making the new plan
effective is up entirely to these in
dividual groups.
Howard Wentworth, assistant to
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer, said 1t is hoped the commit
tees will set up an efficient card in

operator obtaining extra gas rations
through car pools. Then, when
some one in the neighborhood need

can refer to its card index to find If
there is a vacant seat available in
an automobile garaged in that
vicinity.
A representative of the War Pro-
duction Board committee explained
how the Identical system had worked
since it was established in that
agency.
The idea of placing stickers on
Windshields was advanced by indi-
vidual groups and was not pro-
posal of war transportation officials
At Mr.. Van Duzer's Office it was said
the committees simply had been
given permission to place the stick
ers on Windshields. There had been
a regulation against having other
than inspection and gasoline ration
stickers on windshields. Diagrams
showing how the new stickers should
be placed were given out yesterday

NBC Asks Legislation
To Guarantee Radio
Freedom From Fear
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated PreSS.
Asserting that radio cannot re-
main half slave and half free,
Niles Trammell, president of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., asked legis-
lation today to guarantee it "a new
freedom from fear
Mr.. Trammell indorsed the
Wheeler-White bill to prohibit the
Federal Communications Commits
sion from controlling the industry's
program policies and business prac-
tices. He contended it was up tc
Congress to determine whether the
industry will flourish by free enter
prise "or become a weak and subser-
Went tool of Government"
TeStifying before the Senate Inter.
state Commerce Committee, Mr.
Trammell said so-called FEC anti
monopoly regulations, recently up-
held by the Supreme Court, have

the creation of television networks
by prohibiting the ownership OF
more than three television stations
by any one company"
Television Requires Key Stations.
Ownership and operation of KEY
stations by networks will be as i'm
portant In this new service as they
are now in standard broadcasting -
Mr.. Trammell testified. These KEY
stations will be needed to create the
network program service and to pro-
vide the economic basis to meet the
tremendous development costs.
1T Is clear that such an enter
prise cannot be self-sustaining until
millions of television receivers have
been sold"
Arguing that radio is devoted to
public service and acknowledges its
social obligations, Mr.. Trammell
said, however, that this did not
mean it wants those social obliga-
tions imposed upon it as a matter
of licensed authority, especially if
1t is coupled with fear of confis-
cation or bureaucratic control of
its operations
Wants Freedom Guaranteed.
Envlsioning amazing postwar op-
portunities requiring large capital
outlays to revolutionize broadcast
ing, Mr.. Trammell said that "if
enough enterprising investors are
to be found to create competition in
these public services, the radio leg
islation which you write must be
such as to guarantee freedom from
Government domination and con-
troll"

grams.
Freedom to advance in the radio

FEPC Says Plane Plant

By the Associated Press.
The Presidents Committee on

Aviation Co., Dallas, had revised its
labor employment policy regarding
Mexican aliens.
Malcolm Ross, FEPC chairman
said Mexicans now were being hired
at the plant, which employs 27,-
900 workers.
The plant security division of the
Army Air Forces has assured the
FEPC that applications of Mexicans
for work in the plane plant will
be cleared speedily
The revision of the plant labor
policy is in line with President
Roosevelt's order of July II, 1912
which requires the employment OF
aliens in war work where there is
no question of the aliens loyalty
to the United States. Employment
of aliens in war work still must
be cleared through Army or Navy
