Noble Is Told 10 File
Statement on Policy
If He Gets Network

Chairman James F. Fly of the
Federal Communications Commits
sion this afternoon requested Ed
ward j. Noble, proposed buyer Of
the Blue Network, to file with the
commission statement of general
policy in the handling of the net
work.
Chairman Fly, who told Mr.
Noble that he could have AL the
time he wanted" to compile the
statement, said the commission
could not act until we know what
you intend to do in terms of gen.
eral policy"
Referring to published reports
that a labor organization had been
denied time to discuss pending legis-
.lation Mark Woods, present head of
the Blue Network, said he did not
know of any application from a
labor organization to his network.
He said that he would not approve
OF selling time to a labor organiza-
ton under those circumstances, but
II they had a point to make, we'd
give them the time free of charge" !"
Mr.. Noble, former Undersecretary
OF Commerce, earlier told the COM
mission he did not favor the selling
OF radio time to those who sought
to "sell' philosophy rather than
goods and services.
Mr.. Mobiles statement was in re-
ply to question from Mr.. Fly about
the sale of radio time to a certain
automobile manufacturer, with a
commentator on its program and
refusal to give time to a symphony
broadcast by a labor organization.
Mr.. Noble said he would approve of
the sale of time to the motor COM
pany so long as it tried to sell goods
and services" but If it tried to put
across any particular philosophy he
told Mr.. Fly that he would expect
Mr.. Woods ito do something about
it,"
Asked about the use of time by
labor organizations, church groups
and manufacturing associations and
small business organizations, Mr..
Noble replied:
Il think they should be treated
fairly and equitably, regardless of
financial strength or political con-
troll"
AT the outset of the hearing today.
c. Nicholas PriaulX, treasurer and
general manager of Station WMCA,
owned by Mr.. Noble, testified that
the proposed purchase price of
S8,000,000 for the network was based
On study of profit and loss figures,

Mount Vernon Boat
Service Urged by,
Oldest Inhabitants

/ Restoration of boat service be-
tween Washington and Mount Ver-
non was urged last night by the
| Association of Oldest Inhabitants in
communication addressed to the
/ Office of Price Administration.
A resolution offered by Jesse C.
Suter. and unanimously adopted,
said in part:
I'VE understand that the Wilson
Line is ready to establish a regular
steamboat service to run exclusively
from its Washington dock to Mount
Vernon and return. Several round
trips would be made daily, and the
steamer would make no trips at
night and run no pleasure excur-
sions. We understand that persons
wearing the uniform of any branch
of the armed forces of the United
States would be admitted to Mount
Vernon free Of charge.
Cites Inspiration of Shrine.
TT seems to us most important
that every possible effort be made
to establish this service so that war
time visitors to Washington will
make a visit to Mount Vernon an
important feature of their brief
sojourn here. We believe that &C
cess to the patriotic atmosphere of
this outstanding shrine of our coun-
try is needed today to boost the
morale of our fighting forces and
inspire them with the ideals of our
democracy which were gained
largely under the leadership of
George Washington.

if the boat service should be re-
stored it would be with the under
