Injunction Sought on Use
OF 'ABC' Call Letters
By the Associated Press.

~ AlC ASSOCldttu FIPsk.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. IA.
- The Associated Broadcasting
Corp. Of Michigan, with headquar-
ters here, yesterday petitioned for
an injunction to restrain the Amer
ican Broadcasting Co. from using
the call letters "ABC" to identify its
radio programs.
Hearing on the petition is sched-
uled tomorrow before Federal Judge
Fred M. Raymond.
The petition asserts the Asso-
ciated Broadcasting Corp. was or
ganized in December, 1943, and has
used the letter designation since
early in 1914. The petition says the
American Broadcasting Co., for
merly known as the Blue Network,
began using the letters for station
Identification last September.
In New York the American
Broadcasting Co. said: "ABC is a
logical and natural contraction of
the corporation name of the Ameri-
can Broadcasting Co. In view
of the widespread adoption of that
contraction as an identifying SYM
Dol for our company we believe
that we are only conforming to a
well-established usage in using ABC
as a designation for our network"

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14.-The
people of Alaska are not yet ready
for Statehood and won't be until
they become sufficiently informed on
the principles Of economics and fair
government, Representative Jed
johnson, Democrat, of Oklahoma
and Representative John Rooney,
Democrat, Of New York said here
yesterday.
Mr.. johnson, chairman of the
House Subcommittee on Appropria-
tions for the Interior Department,
and Mr.. Rooney returned last week
from a tour of Alaska where the
committee inspected Interior De-
partment projects.
'The people are not ready for
Statehood when they allow the fish
ing industry to take s60,oO0,00o a
year from the territory and return
only $1,000,000. They are not cap
able of governing themselves" Mr..
Rooney said.
THE people themselves and the
territorial Legislature are at fault.
The Legislature is controlled by abb
sentee owners of the fishing and
mining industries. They levy no
land tax to maintain roads, schools
or public health"
Mr.. Johnson said the people in
Alaska think just because the COM
mite went up there, Congress is
going to appropriate money for
roads, schools and hospitals, but we
won't. They are going to have to
do something for themselves"
The committee was the first to
investigate Alaskan appropriations
since 1881, and decided to visit there
after disallowing an Interior De-
partment request for $4,000, 900 for
surveys, Mr.. johnson reported.

Ingenious Machine
Chops Surplus Cotton
For Gunpowder Base
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 14.-A ma
chine to aid in making guncotton
has been designed at the Southern
Regional Research Laboratory of
the Department of Agriculture.
Guncotton makes the Navy's
smokeless powder, and it is the
base of other grades of smokeless
ammunition. The source of gum
cotton is linters, the fine. short
fibers left on a cottonseed after
the staple lengths have been re-
moved to make textiles.
These linters are about one-tenth
of an inch long. They can be made
into very pure cellulose. Purity
insures the accuracy of the big
guns, as well as powder that does
not deteriorate during long range
Lacks One Quality.
Staple cotton, the textile sort, has
all the qualities for guncotton, ex-
cept one: The fibers are too long,
running around one inch each. They
have to be cut into the linters
lengths.
That is the job done by the new
machine, and it is one of the more
difficult accomplishments in the
long history of cotton. A single cot
ton fiber is so fine that it may be
difficult to see separately. Hand
shipping with scissors, or any other
method without machine aid would
be impossible even with 5-cents-a-
day labor.
These f1bers, which in their nat
ural state are thousands times
longer than they are thick, would,
if they were not reduced in length,
bunch into strings and ropes and
matted balls during the purifica-
ton required for guncotton pur-
poses. This would literally "tie up"
the process.
The machine which solved this
was designed in the machinery and
development section Of the Cotton
Processing Division, under Robert
j. Cheatham, by Clarence Asbill.
Ralph A. Rusca, George j. Kyame,
Rsy G. Young and G. Lee Sens. Two
successfully larger machines were
