Radio Amateurs Warned
On New Fec Regulations

Radio amateurs, now resuming
their voice and key chatter after
wartime silence, are being urged by
the American Radio Relay League
to familiarize themselves with new
Federal Communications Commits
sion regulations.
Hermann E. Hobbs. the league S
section communications manager
for the District. Maryland and Della
ware, pointed out important changes
in operating procedure are included
in the new rules. which became
effective last Monday. He warned
failure of all amateurs to comply
scrupulously might jeopardize early
return of frequencies not yet re-
leased by the armed services.
The FEC made 3625-4000 kilo-
cycles available for amateur use
last Monday and permitted radio
telephony on that band from 5000
to 1000 kilocycles.
The league has asked hams
to report unauthorized use Of the

Iran Moves 10 Settle
Azerbaijan Issue as
Reds Speed Departure
By the Associoted Press

TEHERAN, April 6.-Soviet troops
continued their withdrawal from
Iran by land and sea today and,
with that prime international prob
lem apparently settled peacefully,
Iran prepared for campaign
against her principal internal prob
lem-separatist movements in Aver
baijan and Kurdistan.
With the withdrawal of Soviet
influence, we hope that problem
also may be settled peacefully" an
Iranian general staff officer said.
Premier Ahmed Qavam repeatedly
has contended that Azerbaijan
province, now ruled by a govern
ment claiming autonomy, could be
returned to the national fold by
negotiations.
The general staff officer told the
Associated Press he was certain the
Kurdish republic movement and the
self-proclaimed Azerbaijan govern
ment were closely allied-in fact,
grain from the same mill"
IF the departing Russians do
not leave too many arms and
agents behind. both movements
probably will end May 6"-the date
for Soviet evacuation to be COM
pleted, he said.
The officer declared that the
great majority of Azerbaijanians
were not supporting their new gov
eminent, but ARE content to await
the time when they can settle their
own problem without foreign inter-
ference"
He added, however, that Kurdish
bands were making sporadic raids
against Iranian garrisons south of
Saujbulagh armed with mortars
and hand grenades that were not
manufactured in Iran"
At the same time the officer
questioned a Kurdish report that
tribesmen had obtained tanks and
mountain artillery from the depart
ing Russians.

Anti-PetriNo Measure
Passes Senate, 47-3,
Goes 10 White House
BY the Associoted Press

The so-called "anti-Petrillo'
bill establishing criminal penal
ties for compelling or trying to
compel radio broadcasters to
submit to ''featherbed" employ
ment practices cleared the Sem
ate yesterday and was sent to
the White House.
The revised measure worked out
by House and Senate conferees,
which already had won approval of
the House, received a favorable
47-to-3 vote in the Senate despite
the protests of Senator Taylor,
Democrat, of Idaho, and others.
Senators Mitchell, Democrat, of
Washington, and Aiken, Republican,
OF Vermont, were the only members
who Joined Senator Taylor in vot-
ing against it.
Senator Taylor, former radio
and stage entertainer, expressed
fear the measure would cause hard
ships to all radio performers by
outlawing strikes.
Would Permit Lawful Strikes,
Senators Austin, Republican, of
Vermont, and Johnson, Democrat,
of Colorado, declared, however, that
strikes for a lawful purpose would
not be forbidden.
The thing that is illegal under
this bill is coercion and compulsion, -
Senator johnson said.
1t would provide penalties up to
a years imprisonment and a 81 900
fine for compelling or attempting to
compel broadcasterS to hire more
employees than they actually need,
pay money for services not per-
formed, pay unions for using phono-
graph records, pay again for re-
broadcasting transcript of a pre-
vious program, halt programs origi-
mating in foreign lands or any type
of noncommercial cultural or edu-
cational program.
The term "feathered" is applied in
labor dealings to practices that in
volve made" work or pay for work
not actually done.
The legislation originally was in
troduced by Senator Vandenberg
Republican. of Michigan, who took
exception to the action of James
c. Petrillo, head of the American
Federation of Musicians, in for
bidding the broadcast of a student
music festival at Interlochen, Mich
The bill was broadened in the
House. and the Senate accepted
most of those changes
Mr.. Petrillo's activities were free
~ discussed in the debate. Senator
johnson said one thing that had
him worried as a sponsor of the bill
was that the music chief had offered
no objections to it.
Calls Petrillo Slippery
THE language" he said, lis in
tended to button it up, to tighten
1t up so that Mr. Petrilo will find no
means Of escape. We are dealing
with a very slippery gentleman"
Senator Taylor told Senator
johnson you have missed Mr..
Petrlllo and hit every entertainer
in the country"
Senator thomson said he had re-
ceived kilograms of protest signed
by Bing Crosby and other preform-
ers. He said he couldn't understand
their opposition. as he felt certain
they had no intention of trying to
eXploy coercion on broadcasters.
Senator Taylor also complained
that broadcasters might set up
broadcast facilities in other coun-
tries, hire entertainers there for less
money than in the United States,
and pipe the program into this
country.

includes all types of dwelling units,
he added, from mansion to slum

He said that in making his esti-

to $4,000 five years hence.

This shows conclusively that the
