WASHINGTON Another grand
row on freedom of the air. is
nov shaping up in Congress over
Maine Republican Sen. Wallace
H.. Whites new bill to amend the
20-year old Federal Communi-
cations act, under which broad
casting is licensed and regulated.
The act was last amended in
1884. In the seven intervening
years there have been a number
OF industry attempts to amend it
some more and curb what have
been branded as the "dictatorial"
powers of the Federal Communi-
cations Commission.
Last attempt was made in 1943
when Senators White and Burton
K Wheeler collaborated to rewrite
the law. That ended in stalemate
when the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee. after lengthy
hearings failed to bring FCC's
then stormy petrol chairman
James Lawrence Fly into any
kind of agreement with the Ma
tonal Association OF Broadcasters,

NAB finally decided to sign off
and wait for more favorable at
mospheric conditions in Congress.
That came this year. Fly had long

Paul Porter, and Porter was sue

Denny. Relation between the in

So the broadcasters went 10

The attorney said published un-

Truman Labor Day Statement

sincerely and earnestly within the
framework of a minimum amount
Of regulatory law. I believe that
enlightened labor and enlightened
management, working together, can
accomplish far more by peaceful
bargaining than is possible through
legislation. Cooperation by labor
and management, in spirit of hon.
est concern for the welfare of all
the people, will speed the day when
strikes and lockouts are discarded,
and will safeguard labor's freedom
to solve its problems without re-
strictive Government regulation.
Government, also, has RESPONSE
bility for promoting the welfare of
all the people by pointing out and
eliminating injustice and ineouity.
In order to enable the Government
to discharge its constitutional and
legal duties, the Department of La
DOR must be adequately stated, and
be given jurisdiction over those gov
elnmental functions which are an
appropriate part OF a department
created to foster. promote, and de-
velop the welfare of the wage earn
ers of the United States.
Asks Minimum Wage Rise.
Millions of our unorganized work.
ers are living, in this day of high
national income and high profits.
on substandard wages. A prompt
increase in the minimum wage rates
is needed. Our social security sys-
tenn can and must be broadened by
extending its benefits to a greater
number. Nor can we long delay.
without incalculable loss to the Ma
ton, the establishment Of an ade-
quate system of health insurance.
All these problems deserve the at
tention of the Congress early in its
next session.
1t is fitting that on Labor Day we
should acknowledge the debt this
country owes to its workers of hand
and mind, and that at the same
time we should solemnly recognize
our common responsibility to pre-
serve and strengthen the democratic
principles which have made labor

Out in the hall went Mr.. johnson
and his client. Following, with a
warrent in his fist, was Pvt. Clarence
IE. Williams of the Park Police
Lawyer and client showed no in
clination to leave the courthouse
and its immunity from warrant
servers. At one point, Pvt. Williams
asked a building guard if Poteat
couldn't be forcibly elected since
the court session was over. The
guard pointed out that the finance

Finally, Mr.. johnson and Poteat

told his client to run and thrust
out a hip to delay the policeman.
All three burst into the lobby about
the same time. The policeman and
the lawyer shouted at each other,
then apologized. Then they saunt-
cred out of the building.
AS they reached the court prop

his warrant and grabbed the de-
fendant by his belt. Backsthe trio
went to court where Judge Nelson
was waiting. '".
Lawyer Charges Bias
The arraignment on the same
charge was about to begin when
Mr.. johnson requested that the case
be assigned to another judge since
my client feels the court has shown
bias and prejudice against him."

Nelson replied. II have no bias
or prejudice in this case. I simply
feel that I can't allow technicality
to thwart justice. If he is tried by
me 1 will lean over backwards to
see that he gets fair trial.
Mr.. johnson insisted in his plea,
however, and the clerk OF the court
started telephoning to locate an
other judge. All had left the bench,
but Judge Nadine L. Gallagher was
still in her chambers and agreed to
return to court.
After a final flare-up over the
bond, Judge Gallagher fixed bond
at ST 900 and set October 80 for
the trial date. Poteat had pleaded
not guilty and asked for jury trial.

man has been wondering what II
means.
It is natural to believe that ar
event Of such transcendent i'm.
portance as that must have beer
accompanied by appropriate oratory
ard, if not oratory. at least by some
sententious remarks.
The first message to come over
the newly invented Telegraph from
Baltimore to Washington was,
what hath God wrought" Might
not a much more earnestly phrased
question have been asked under the
stands in Chicago five years ago?
The records show otherwise. The
announcement that snuclear chain
reaction, sought so tirelessly and in
war-born haste, had been achieved
and controlled came in these scien-
tific phrases:
Miracle of Progress
THE reaction is self sustaining.
The curve is exponential,"
The speaker was DR.. Enrico Fermi,
Italian-born scientist chiefly respon-
sible for the success of the experi-
ment. It is recorded that he made
the announcement quietly. matter
of factly, closing the slide rule with
which he had been making calcula-
tons from time to time.
When he said the curve is "ex-
ponential" he was referring to the
line drawn by pen on graph paper
in one of the instruments. It meas
ured the miracle that was in progress
within the pile of uranium and
ghaphite that had been built labo-
riously In the squash court.
