Royalties for Unions
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Legislation outlawing the collec-
ton of royalty payments such as
those received by James C. Petrillo's
AFL Musicians Union and sought by
the United Mine Workers was intro
duced in the House yesterday by
Representative Miller, Republican
of Nebraska A similar bill was Of
fered in the Senate recently by SEN
ator Bailey, Democrat, of North
Carolina.
Congress never intended that la
Dor unions should get the green
light to commit acts that would be
illegal if committed by any one else, ,
Mr.. Miller said.
Unions in the steel industry
could follow Mr.. Petrillo's or John
L. Lewis example and demand roy
atty for the steel they produce. II
will take legislative action to curl
the racket of Petrillo and Lewis"
Mr.. Miller also introduced a bill
to outlaw the closed shop and dues
checkoff by making such labor prac.
tees illegal and subject to pen.

Payne Favors
Lifting Liquor
Permit Limit
Declares Restriction
Fosters Rocket on
License Transfers

Reporting that the nine-year -old
limitation on the number of class
"a" liquor permits that may be is
sued in the District has served to
foster a racket" in transfer of
licenses, Chairman Alan w Payne of
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today suggested that the limit
be removed.
His suggestion was contained in a
letter to Chairman Randolph of the
House District Committee, in re-
Spouse to inquiries regarding the Ii
cense situation. Mr.. Payne explained
that the power to fix the number
of liquor permits rested with the
District Commissioners rather than
with the ABC Board, but he said the
board believes the number should be
governed by economic laws.
The Commissioners in 1886 placed
a 300 limit on the number of places
licensed to sell bottled liquor goods,
but this did not affect outstanding
permits, then numbering about 400.
The intention was to reduce the
number to 300, in time, as permits
were revoked or surrendered.
THE limitation, coupled with in
creased demand incident to a growth
in population, has, in the boards
belief, resulted in rise of a racket
in the transfer of such licenses"
Mr. Payne wrote Prices paid for
businesses carrying "a licenses have
grown far beyond actual values.
Some businesses have been sold for
as high as $4,000, and the average
price may be said to run between
$4,000 and $4,000"
He suggested that some outlying
areas, developed since 1886, now may
not be adequately served from the
consumer standpoint and said the
board did not believe an increase
in the number of licenses would
result in "promiscuous" placing of
establishments, because of coming
and ARC regulations

Of the United States deliver message

While television has usually been
thought of as something limited to the
metropolitan area of city, programs
can be carried from city to city, either
by co-axial cable or by relay system.
Television enthusiasts, in fact, look
forward to the day when such cable
system will link continents.
AS early as 1927 there was televi-
sion transmission over wire circuit
from Washington to New York and by
radio from Whippany, N. j., to New
York, demonstrated by Bell Telephone
Laboratories. Herbert Hoover, then Sec
retary of Commerce, took part in the
wire transmission.

Halted by the War
Commercial television, which has
been halted by the war except in few
cities where it was already under way,

country, and half of them are in the
New York City area.
Chairman Paul Porter of the FEC

he promised all possible speed in revis-

I'VE have had number of inquiries as

For the time being, these applications
must remain in the pending files, as

Associated Press STAFF Writer.

CHICAGO.-Managing 21,0o0-acre
Arkansas plantation as vest laboratory
has put the Farm Foundation, its man
ayers report, ''up to our ears" in agri-
cultural problems of the Southern
States.
Frank o. Lowden, former Governor of
Illinois, died two years ago and be-
queathed the plantation, near Gould,
Ark, to the foundation for studies in
southern farm tenancy and ownership.
Said DR.. Joseph Ackerm, associate
managing director of the foundation:
This put us up to our ears in agri-
cultural-economic problems of the South
problems which we still have not
solved but for which we are looking
forward as much as 20 years for solu-
tions."
The plantation is infested with john
son grass. 1t suffers from water seep-
ing under levees of the nearby Arkansas
River during spring floods and from
summer parching few months later.
Down the Economic Ladder
Tenants labor with walking plows
drawn by mules in an era of mass
produced farm products and are
strangled in one-crop cotton economy.
Most of the tenants have slipped far
down the economic ladder.
There is no all-weather road to the
property, no electricity and no telephone
service, but plans have been arranged
for an REA line to provide electrifica-
tion.
There is but one small school on the
plantation.
To Raise Living Standard
= Because of the rundown condition of
the farm, stable supply of labor has
been lacking. The local people are lock-
ing to the foundation to raise the stand
ard of living and prove that farming,
as way of life. is more desirable than
it now appears at the Lowden planta-
tion.
To solve these and similar agricultural
and sociological problems, the farm
foundation was created in 1888 by be-

Sports Events
In the case of baseball games from
Yankee Stadium the television broad
cast by NBC goes by mobile transmitter
truck to the Empire State Building,
where NBC has it's television antenna.
The mobile unit, it is said, can send
its television pictures about Is miles,
depending upon the obstacles between
it and the main transmitting point.
Sports events from Madison Square
Garden are sent by wire to the broad
casting studios.
The sound part of television is broad
cast by FIN. Engineers say FIN is not
easy to describe to the layman, but in
brief they explain it is short-wave
broadcasting that has less interruption
from static and man-made interference
than with the ordinary long-wave
broadcasting.
In Veterans Hospitals
Television broadcasts have proven
popular in veterans hospitals, and a
group of Northwest civic leaders, who
recently went on television tour to New
York sponsored by six broadcasting
companies expressed the hope that
television could eventually be extended
to veterans hospitals here, like Walter
Reed and the Bethesda Naval Hospital.
