Court Rules Thonlpson| Is
 Ga. Governor

ATLANTA, March 19-R'- TEe State Supreme Court ruled today that M E. Thompson is the gov ernor of Georgia.
 In 5 to 2 decision, the state s highest tribunal rejected claims oi Herman Talmadge and held that Talmadges election by the legls- lature was unconstitutional.
 The Supreme Court thus moved to end nine weeks of political tur- moil in which rival governors oc- cupied the capitol and contended for control of state agenclss ana departments. Talmadge operated from the executive suite, however and a great majority of the de- partments recognized him as gov ernor
 The courts decision will not pe- come final until disposition o1 a motion for re-hearing expected to be filed by the losing side. Both sides have said there would be no attempt to carry the dispute into the Federal courts.

MOSCOW, March 19.-tR-So- viet Foreign Minister " M. Mo lotov and U. s. Secretary of State George c. Marshall agreed today that a meeting of minds was pos sible in this conference Of the Council of Foreign Ministers on Germanys economic program
 Molotov said in statement however, that the Soviet Union rejected the British-A American pos ition that the Potsdam decisions on separations superseded the de- cisions of the Big Three Yalta conference.
 He further declared hat the economic unity of Germany with out separations was not acceptable to the Soviet government, but that with reparations it would be ac- ceptablc.
 Marshall reminded Molotoy that there were grave difficult ties to be faced in the reparations problem. He said he was prepared to consider" Molotov's demands for a higher level of industry in Germany to raise her steel produc- tion but added that there was an inherent danger" in develop ing a production program de- signed for separations purposes.
 Russia has asked that the steel production level be raised to 10,- 100000 or l2,000.00O tons annually

 SEATTLE
Two Unions Refuse 10 Sail Until Adequate Heat
 ing" Is Provided

SEATTLE, March 19tT- No more Alaska freighters of the C-1-AMV-l class, commonly known as the Knot Ships will be sail ed from Seattle until adequate heating is provided for the crew mess and living quarters. officials of two maritime unions state.
 The ships, war-built coastal car riers. comprise practically the en- tire Alaska freighter fleet oper- ated by the three steamship com panies serving the Territory
 Involved in the dispute, but talk ing independent action, were the AFL- Sailors Union of the Pacific and the CIO-Marine Cooks and Stewards Union.
 The Alaska Steamship Go. freighter Rose Knot, loaded and due to sail since Saturday, was the first ship affected The com pany's Terminal Knot is schedul- ed to sail tomorrow for cannery ports. Most of the ships, however. are in Alaska ports or waters and will not be affected until their return here.
 William Semar general manager of the Northland Transportation Co.,, said There is nothing the companies can do The ships are still government owned, and any alterations must be ordered by the Maritime Commission.
 A union official said the heat ing boilers are far too small" and that ice an inch thick covered steel beams in the crews quart CTS on the Rose Knots last trip north
 The only vessels not hit by the mo sailing" order are the pas senger and freight steamers of the Alaska Steamship Company and the Tongass of the Alaska Trans portation Company.

Heard and Seen on the Air
By Bryson Rash ,

Today is the first day of National
Radio Week. so proclaimed by the
National Association of Broadcasters
and the many radio stations
throughout the country. On this
day 1t seems proper that one column
be set aside for praise of radio. This
in contrast to the other columns
that always have some material in
derogation. of a vital and wide
spread, though often misguided,
medium.
There are some 34,800,000 families
in the United States that own one
or more radios. This means that
only 100000 families do not own
one.
There are more than 100000
radios in automobiles. In addition
to all these circuits, tubes and
speakers there are more than 49,
O50,000 other sets in use in stores,
hotels, Offices and institutions. All
this adds up to a grand total of
more than 60000,000 radios in use
in the United States. These figures,
supplied by the National Associa-
ton of Broadcasters, are rather
awe-inspiring.
Granted that all those sets are
used, the important factor is what
comes out of them. At this point
seldom do more than two people
ever agree on the merits of the
l1cipn tho NpN
charts we learn that Al per cent
of all broadcasting time of all sta
tions is devoted to music. 1t is not
stated whether this includes opening
and closing themes on soap operas
OF this percentage, 26 is popular
and folk music and is classical and
senliclassical
Drama Takes 16 Per Cent.
A big Is per cent of all broadcast
time is taken up by dramas of one
kind or another. This includes
serials. mysteries, comedy and Sc
rious productions. 1t just seems like
more time is given to soap operas.
In the news and commentary
field radio devotes solid 13 per cent
of all its time This is undoubtedly
one of the outstanding reasons that
the American peoplex are the best
and fastest informed in the world
Another per cent slice of the
broadcast time pie is allotted to edu'
cation. A twin piece goes to pro.
grams of religious nature. In
addition to all these are the small
segments allotted to sports events
farm news, home economics, litera-
tUre, current events and many
other subjects. When you put them
all together and consider the pic
ture as a whole it's fairly encour-
aging.
