Of internal matters of Czechoslo-
vakia in the Security Council is

ting up another commission which
would meet the fate of the Balkans

states from carrying out the orders
Of the U. N. Assembly.

Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy
Foreign Minister, was reported
ready to deliver a 30-page speech
on the Czechoslovaki lease. He was
prepared to speak last week but
decided against it after the Council
voted to invite the Prague govern
ment to send q representative. He
has objected to the case at every
turn. @ ...5.
China, meanwhile, was said to be
requesting that the Assembly take
in Burma as the 58th member
promptly. The Assembly will con-
vene Friday.
Burma was approved by the
Security Council Saturday. Mr.
Gromyko vetoed Italy. The appli-
cations of 10 others, Ireland, Portu-
gal, Trans-Jordan. Finland, Aus
tria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria,
Albania and Outer Mongolia were
kept on the shelf when it became
clear none could overcome the
Council hurdle.

'0'Dwyer Promises
Answer on Transit
Fares by Apri|27
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 12.-Mayor
William ODwyer has promised a
yes" or mo" answer before April
~ on whether the city's Scent
transit fare will be increased to
cover growing deficits of the Board
Of Transportation.
Possibility that the city might
take over private transportation
lines arose again yesterday as the
Mayor arrived home from Cali
fornia after short rest to take
command in the imminent transit
crisis.
Asked at a news conference if he
had discussed with his advisers the
question of absorbing the private
bus lines. Mayor O'Dwyer told the
questioner that he was slightly
warm"
Told of 80 Million Cost.
1t was reported unoffcially that
the Mayor had been told that If
private companies should surrender
their franchises it would cost the
city up to $50,0O0,0O0 during the
next three years to replace worn
out and obsolete equipment.
Several private companies, some
of which they are reported willing
to surrender their franchises, have
contended they cannot meet ex-
penses, much less grant wage in
creases, at the scent fare.
The mayor promised the fare de-
cision after a two-hour conference
with his Executive Committee on
Administration.
Spread Of Strike Threatened.
A work stoppage of 375 drivers
and maintenance men which has
halted six private Manhattan Dus
routes since last Tuesday threatens
to. spread to other buslineS unless
union wage demands are met. The
CIO Transport workers Union is
pressing for showdown on its de-
mands for a general 80 cents an
hour pay rise and other benefits
for the city's $4,000 transit workers.
And union leaders have indicated
a possibility Of a city-wide transit
tieup.
Mayor ODwyer selected April ~
as deadline for announcing de-
cision on a fare increase because
on that day the Board of Estimate
must approve the 1948-49 fiscal year
expense budget and send it to the
City Council for action.
Several city financial officials
have said fare increase-a political
football for many years-is the
only cure for Board of Transporta-
ton deficits. They said also that
union pay demands cannot be met
at the present fare rate.

johnson May Relax
Bill 10 Curb Power
For Radio Stations
BY he Assssioasd 4 Press

Senator johnson. Democrat, Of
Colorado limited today he might
agree to tone down his controversial
radio bill.
I'm very much interested IN
stopping the drive for increased
power" he said. But he added that
he wouldn't be hard to get along
with" on the question Of clear
=, channels.
: As now written, his bill would
amend the 1894 Communications
Act to a. limit the power Of stand
ard broadcasting stations to $4,000
. watts and ca eliminate the "A IA
clear channels now remaining In
:. this country.
A clear channel is used by more
than one station during the day,
but at night Is used only by the
station holding . IA classifica-
tion.
l6 Stations Organize.
Sixteen of the la stations are
seeking to increase their power to
10000 watts. They have formed
an organization known as the Clear
Channel Broadcasting Service.
: Senator johnson said his bill
never would have been introduced
If the group had not pressed for
higher power before the Federal
Communications Commission. His
measure Is being considered by the
Senate Commerce Committee.
The FEC has been considering
the matter for three years. It had
about reached the decision point
when the Commerce Committee
asked that it be withheld pending
disposition Of the johnson bill.
Standard radio stations now are,
In effect, limited to 50,000-watt
power. Senator Johnson's bill, If
passed, would write this limitation
into law. u.
The committee arranged today to
begin hearing the first of more than
40 witnesses favoring the bill. De-
spite the large number, committee
aides expressed hope that the hear
ings could be ended by Wednesday
night. II so, the matter will be
considered in closed sessions.
Opponents took five days in, their
attack on the measure. They
charged that 1t would, among other
things, prevent rural listeners from
receiving adequate United States
radio reception, restrict progress in
standard radio broadcasting and
open the door to foreign stations to
attract United States listeners.

Farm Plan Hearings
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

A Senate group opens hearings
today on long-range farm pro-
gram.
Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont. termed 1t probably is the
most important legislation before
the Congress this year"
Secretary Of Agriculture Ander-
son was listed as the first witness
before the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee.
I'm the long run, nothing is SO
important to the peace Of the World
and the stability of the United States
as an ample supply of food and
fibre in the next few years" Aiken
told reporter. Unless we have
ample supplies of food at stable
prices, we are in for serious trouble. -
Profit Is Net Assured.
Zone thing this bill does not do
Is to insure farmers q profit" he
said. "All it does Is insure them
against disaster. In return they
must agree to produce adequate
quantities of the things we need
for our population, for our indus
tries and for those we are aiding
elsewhere in the world in the battle
for freedom"
In general the long-range farm
program assemblies all the various
Federal farm programs and acts of
the past Is years and fits them into
a permanent plan.
This is not Republican nor a
New Deal BILL" Senator Aiken said.
1t was developed after months of
field hearings and staff work on a
non-partisan basis. No single farm
group or section would approve
everything in It,"
Objectives Outlined.
Senator Aiken said major objec-
tives are:
l. Continuation Of the soil conser-
vation programs with more emphasis
on actual program controls at the
State, local and farm levels.
2. A modernization and revision
OF the parity price formula. A par
ity price is one computed to give a
farm product the same purchasing
power 1t had in a past or base
period. 1t is the basis of most Gov
eminent price-supporting programs,
3. A system Of graduated Govern
ment price supports by loans, pur-
chases or marketing programs.
Senator Aiken said these would
encourage production of farm
products now in short supply and
discourage those that are surplus,
Senators Aiken said action on the
long-range farm act is necessary
now because a large number OF
temporary wartime farm laws will
expire at the end of this year"
I'VE will hold public hearings
for the next two weeks although
they could run for two years." he
said. Most of the witnesses will
speak for farm organizations with
some spokesmen from industry"

Satchel Paige Realizes
Baseball Dream
By Alvin Moses

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. CAMP
Ten years ago l chatted with
Leroy Paige, Kansas City Mon
archs pitcher, at Yankee stadium
about colored stars being in the
big leagues. | recall baseball's leg
endary "Old Man River" saying:
81 would give years of my life
to be in there pitching for a ma
jor league club and / feel that
/ would make good against the
best of them" There was no
boastfulness in Paige's speech,
just the normal desire of Ameri-
can baseball players whose life
time dream is to pitch before
crowded stands and to hear the
chant of bleacher fans and box
holders after a notable effort.
That was back in 1888. Ten
years later, August 10, 1913,
Satchel Paige pitched 5 to 0
shutout victory for Cleveland,
American league, against the Chi
cago White Sox. The victory
eased the Indians back into first
place and Joe Louis and Ray Rob-
inson, world champion boxers who
witnessed the game, personally
congratulated the tall man with
the moustache.
His dream to twirl before a
packed house also come true for
51,013 Runaway fans crowded
into Chicago's Comisky park to
see just how the much advertised
Negro moundsman would fare
over the nine inning distance. 1t
was openly stated that Paige would
fizzle out completely after four
innings but the 44-year-old wiz
ard fooled them badly.

Indiana Gambling
king Threatened

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. &c. GAN
p = Andrew Perkins, better
known as big Perk" and one of
Indianapolis gambling aces, was
in the midst Of threatening calls
again last week.
Richard Lightning" Woodland
is being sought in the most e
cent extortion incident involving
Big Perk.
According to detectives, the 800
pound gambler is being "pres-
sured" to ease his testimony invol-
wing an $500 incident during
which he was kidnapped and rob-
bed. They connect this pressure
with the recent threats against
Perkins.
Observers here believe that this
activity against Perkins, who is
now hiding in the custody of To-
cal police, may be connected with
the attempted silencing of Jack
Durham who charged police con-
nivance in gambling several
months ago. Durham was sus-
pended from the police depart
ment, hen reinstated after making
his charges.
Future developments concern
ing Durham are predicted from
the Perkins case.
According to police, a few days
ago a "voice" believed to be
Woodland told Perkins that it and
two other men had been hired to
kill him, and advised him to leave
5000 at Cats Playhouse. With po-
lice in disguise observing, moth
ing happened.
Later the voice called Big Perk
again, detectives said, and told
him to deposit $3.50 in another
spot. Patrolman William Denker,
dressed in plainclothes, watched
the spot, and saw a 13-year-old
girl pick up the envelope with
the money.
He questioned her, and she said
a man sent her for the envelope.
She led Denker where the man
was. The man, who happened to
be Woodland, spotting Denker,
speedily fled the scene with the
policeman right behind him.
Lightning" Woodland was too fast
