Mcmillan Will Study
Plea for TeIevision
Ban in Home Areas

Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee today promised
to study the demand of a group
|of property owners for specific
Legislation banning erection of tele-
vision station antenna towers in
residential areas of the District.
Mr.. Mcmillan expressed interest
in the matter after receiving the
delegation in his Office. The prop
|erty owners. consisting principally
OF residents of the 1000 blocks OF
Brandywine and Chesapeake streets
NV, expressed fears the proposed
antenna tower of the Bamberger
Broadcasting Service, Inc, at
Fortieth and Brandywine streets
might fall, striking passersby OF
nearby houses.
The residents told Mr.. Mcmillan
they had failed to block the project
by protests to the Board of Zoning
Adjustment and the District Com
missioners. They emphasized they
did not intend to indicate opposi-
ton to television as such, but felt
|antenna towers should be located on
large tracts far removed from resi-
|dences. Because Of the relatively
high elevation Of the Fort Reno
area, the 300-foot Bamberger tower
might be struck by a passing air
plane, they suggested.
Bamberger Broadcasting Service,
Inc, holds one Of three provisional
grants Of Federal Communications
Commission construction permits for
commercial television stations here.
The other proposed recipients of
construction permits are The Eve
ming Star Broadcasting Co., which
plans to erect a tower on the campus
of American University, and the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., which plans
a tower on the Wardman Park Hotel.

Commissioner Clifford ]. Durr at
first argued the FEC should grant
only six permits at this time, but
when outvoted, decided to concur
in the order granting eight. A
spokesman for a veterans organiza-
tion had contended at a public hear

Star to Build at A. U.
The Evening Star Broadcastine
Co. plans to build a transmitteI
building and antenna tower on the
campus of American University
subject to approval of the CAA and
the Board of Zoning Adjustment
for both FM and television trans
missions. The FEC has made pro-
visional grant of a construction per-
NIT for a commercial television sta
ton to the company.
Until a new studio and Office
building is built at Twelfth and K
streets NV, the new FM station
will use the studio facilities of the
National Broadcasting Co., now be-
ing used by Station WMAL, also
owned by The Evening Star Broad
casting Co.
1t is expected the FM station will
duplicate some of the WMAL pro-
grams.
Because of difficulties in obtaining
construction materials and techni-
cal equipment, the new stations
probably will not be on the air for
some months. Station WINK and
the Commercial Radio Equipment
Co. already are operating expert
mental FIN stations here.
Frequencies assigned the new sta
tions range from 93.3 to 1921 mega
cycles.

Commercial Rent Law
For District Opposed
By Commissioners

Arguments against pending legis-
lation to control rent on District
commercial property were advanced
today by the Commissioners in re-
port to Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee.
They opposed enactment Gin its
present form" of the bill of Repre-
sentative Barry, Democrat, of New
York proposing commercial rent
controls here, saying that it would
be practically impossible" to fix
rentals based on the rent and serv-
ices generally prevailing for COM
parable business accommodations,
because each business property pre-
sents separate problem.
The Commissioners said they were
without sufficient knowledge to ex-
press an informed opinion on the
general question of whether bust.
ness property rents should be regu-
lated.
Young Cites Lack Of Data.
There are undoubtedly instances
where the owners of commercial
properties are charging rents un-
reasonably high" Commissioner
John Russell Young wrote, "but nc
data have been submitted to the
Commissioners from which they
could determine whether this prac-
tice is so widespread as to justify the
creation of an extensive and highly
technical agency to attempt to regu-
late such rents for a comparatively
short period of time"
They contended the Barry bill sets
up formula which would be "ex-
tremely difficult of administration, y
and which would result Gin many
inequities and injustices."
The bill freezes rents as of March
l, 1912, but provides that in the
case of business properties not
rented on that date, nor within the
ensuing year, the rent shall be that
generally prevailing for comparable
accommodations.
Development Is Different.
A residential neighborhood, they
continued, usually develops in ac-
cordance with a certain pattern, the
dwellings being of substantially the
same size and character. Therefore
there is no great difficulty in deter
mining in such neighborhoods the
rent for comparable dwellings, the
report said.
But in business sections. the
of development is quite diff
ferent," the report continued
There the business properties are
according to the contem-
plated business and differ in size
and character. Furthermore. a
store at one location may have a
high rental value, whereas a store
but a short distance down the street
or on the opposite side of the street
may have much lower rental value.
''The owner of one business might
be willing to pay a large rental for
a particular store because it is per-
fectly suited to his needs and readily
accessible to the customers he hopes
to attract, whereas the. owner of an
other kind Of business might only
be willing to pay very small rental
for the same premises"

Truman Urges Drive
To Reduce Death Toll
In Highway Accident!

President Truman declared today
that 5000 traffic fatalities in this
country in the first three months
of this year emphasize the need
for a concerted attack" on acci-
dents which prompted him to call
the forthcoming highway safety
conference to be held here next
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The President further expressed
his qualification at the way plans
for the meeting are shaping up. His
statement follows:
"The mounting toll of traffic
fatalities in this country continues
to be a cause for deep concern.
More than 5000 men, women and
children were killed on the streets
and highways during the first three
months of this year. These tragic
figures emphasize the need for a
concerted attack on traffic accidents
which I had in mind last December
when I called national highway
safety conference to be held in
Washington, May 8, and 10.
"It is source of qualification,
therefore, that Maj. Gen. Philip B..
Fleming, Federal Works admins
traitor and general chairman of the
conference, is able to report that
eight working committees COM
posed of outstanding authorities on
highway transportation, highway
safety and related fields, have made
an exhaustive study of every phase
of the problem and have developed
a comprehensive report for the
consideration of the conference.
Assurances have been received
from Governors, State and local Of
flcials, city leaders and principals
in fields of highway transportation,
traffic safety and accident preven-
ton that they will come to Wash
ington to cooperate in framing an
extensive program to reduce waste
of life on the Nations highways.
while programs are being de-
veloped on a national plan, its ap-
plication is rightly function of the
States and communities. Whatever
the program evolved, we will attain
the objective of saving lives, only If

the principles established by the
conference are carried back to every
community where Americans live
and work-and where every man
woman and child is either a pedes-
trian or motorist oreboth. Only ef-
fective State and local application
OF the program developed by the
conference can reduce traffic acci-
dents.
THE Federal Government stands
ready to cooperate in every way
BY working together we can and will
make our highways safe"

Why How

when the sun goes down, throw the water toward it.
 "In the most elaborate cure, the affected person must strip and seat himself in a tub of river water, racing toward the setting sun. Then friend or relative stands behind him, and dipping the hands into the water, passes the water, first over the seated ones shoulders, then over the head in the form of cross. When this is done, the pain leaves at sunset and never returns"

 Zero Sentinel is an inspired name for a new gadget on home refriger- ator lockers. The sentinel is a double alarm system which goes into action the moment the temper ature in the locker starts rising be- yond certain fixed point, such as 10 above zero Fahrenheit. Possible power failure, a blown fuse, or trouble of any other kind which results in a temperature rise, is quickly detected by the ringing of a buzzer and the flashing of red warning light. The dry cell battery used is a development of the war effort, making possible continuous buzzing or ringing for a period of 96 hours. If 8 family should be away for a day or two, zero sen- tinel would finally bring the neigh bors in to set things right.

 But that is the small picture. The world-even the small world bounded by the limits of their own home townS-is full of problems that should be a challenge to women because they affect women vitally.
 The more reason any American woman has for personally feeling that 1o46 is going to be good year, the more duty-bound she should feel to try to make it bet ter for other less fortunate human beings For her warm little world is just a bright spot in an ugly picture.
