Political Broadcast
Rate Limit Sought
By the Assoeiotsd Press

Senator McGrath, Democrat, Of
Rhode Island has INTRODUCED a
bill to prohibit radio stations from
exceeding their regular CONNER
cial rate in charging for time for
political broadcasts.
Senator McGrath, the Demo-
cratic national chairman, told re-
porters "the practice of increas-
ing rates" for political talks has
been a source of irritation for a
long time" He added:
I'VE don't propose to tolerate
this nickel-grabbing business"
Senator McGrath said situa-
ton in Pennsylvania prompted
him to introduce the bill yester-
day.
There is a special congressional
election coming up there in Sep
tember in the 26th district and
some of the stations in that area
have increased their regular rates
100 per cent in connection with
political broadcasts," Senator
McGrath said.
The Pennsylvania election is to
fill the vacancy in the House
caused by the death of Robert L
Coffey. jr.. a Democrat.
Senator Myers of Pennsylvania
the assistant Democratic leader
also protested what he called "the
doubling of commercial rates by
some stations"
Senator McGrath's bill provides
for a 30-day suspension of a
radio stations license in the case
of the first violation. A second
offense would bring a suspension
for up to six months.
In the event of a third viola
ton the Federal Communications
Commission would have discretion
to fix the penalty. which would
include permanent revocation OF
the stations license, Senator Nc
Grath said.

said the new order was aimed at
drawing the lines tighter on
the gambling situation. The new
setup. however. also covers prosti-
tuition, perversion and liquor vio-
lation.
Implied target of criticism when
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay embarked on his anti
gambling crusade and came up
with 36 indictments. Maj. Barrett
had promised reforms.
Vice control was originally the
responsibility of the precincts
Later, each district inspector had
special squad working in the
four or five precincts in his dis
trict.
Since August. l945, however, a
central squad in headquarters has
been in charge of vice enforce
ment.
1t. Roy Blick. head Of the CEN
trail vice squad. commented today
after hearing about the order:
1T will be of great assistance
and an improvement"
Under the order. every precinct
commander is instructed to desig-
nate an official in his precinct to
supervise vice enforcement. The
commanding officers, however, are
given permission to handle vice
enforcement themselves If they
want to.
The precinct official in charge
of vice control Is instructed to
work in close cooperation with
the head Of the departments vice
squad with a view of doing every
thing possible to keep vice at a
minimum within the particular
precinct"
May Borrow From Other Precincts.
The order also provides ma
chinery for the precinct official to
borrow men from other precincts
who are unknown to suspects in
his precinct. He can also ask help
from the vice squad in conducting
raids and. in turn. the vice squad
can call on the precincts for raid
personnel.
The official is instructed to use
every legal means to complete ac-
ton in a case. If he cannot COM
plete action, he is instructed to
report to his commanding officer,
giving all steps taken and all
available information with the ex-
ception of confidential sources.
The commanding officer is then
told to make a report to Maj.
Barrett stating why 1t is not pos
sible for his precinct to handle
the case and requesting assistance
or that the case be handled en-
tirely by the vice squad.
The order emphasizes, however.
that even after a request to be
relieved of a case Is forwarded,
the precinct shall continue its own
efforts to abate the violation.
II the vice squad gets the case
the results of its action are to be
reported back to the precinct.
Apparently to fix responsibility
in all cases and to keep close track
of what is going on in the way Of
attacking vice. the order calls for
a new system of vice reports.

issue strike order today against
all steel companies rejecting Mr.
Truman's plan for a 60-day truce.
Earlier, the union had accepted
the proposal. The companies
would be shut down at midnight
tomorrow.
In asking the three companies
to reconsider their reflections, the
President said he believed the
present situation docs not con-
stitute such an immediate peril
to the national health or safety
as to apply the emergency pro-
visions'of Taft-Hartley.
While the hearing board to be
named by the President will have
authority to make settlement
recommendations, something a
Taft-Hartley board lacks, both
Mr.. Truman and Cyrus s. Ching,
director of the Federal Mediation
and Cancellation Service. made it
clear that neither the union nor
the companies would have to
accept the suggestions Of the
board.
Cole Probable Member
While officials said that selec-
ton of the three-man steel board
had not been completed. 1t was
learned that David L. Cole, attor-
ney and labor relations expert OF
Paterson, N. j., probably will be
named by Mr.. Truman. Mr.. Cole
was a member of the board which
heard the soft coal dispute last
year and he later served on the
emergency panel which settled the
threat of the incorporating rail-
way unions to strike.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Ching. at the

measures he had advocated.
Declaring that selfish inter-
ests were at fault on both counts,
he added:
Now these same selfish inter-
ests are urging us to commit a
third major blunder. They are
now urging drastic cuts in Gov
ernment expenditures-cuts which
would fall hardest on those ex-
penditures which are most i'm
portant to our domestic economy.
The Presidents speech was, in
effect, an abridged version OF his
message to Congress Monday, ac-
companying the midyear report
Of the Council of Economic Ad-
visers.
Reciting the evidences of de-
cline in both production and en-
ployment and pointing to nearly
1000, 1000 idle, the President in
sisted, nevertheless that I'VE are
not In a depression" But he said
there are many, who for political
reasons, would like to have a
depression.
He warned that I'VE shall have
to be sure that the selfish inter-
ests do not drive us into the
ditch, as they have done before" !"
Mcclellan Stands Firm.
Congressional reaction was not
hong in developing.
: Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
Of Arkansas, chief sponsor OF a
resolution calling on the President
to trim 5 per cent off Of appro-
priations, said there are certain
contemplated expenditures for
public works that would, OF
course, stimulate our economy, "
but he emphasized:
There are other savings that
can and should be made, and 1t
is the duty of the President and
the Congress jointly to bring
about such economies"
Senator Sparkman. Democrat,
OF Alabama. another signer OF
the economy resolution. also took
issue with the President, declar-
ing that efforts should be directed
toward balancing the budget. He
added that IT am not willing to
anticipate a depression and en-
courage deficit spending.
House Minority Leader Martin
and Senate Minority Leader
Wherry loosed warmer blasts at
Mr.. Truman. Senator Wherry de-
clared that "the Truman admin
istration is the crowd that is lead
ing us into the ditch. The ad-
ministration is taking us right
down the avenue of deficit spend
ing. and I don't know how we
could go into the ditch any faster
or deeper
Pepper Lines Up With Truman.
Senator Flanders, Republican, OF
Vermont, who voted for the tax
cut, agreed with the President
that it was a mistake" but he
and others of his colleagues said
that they do not know of anyone
who wants a depression, as the
President charged.
Senator Pepper. Democrat, OF
Florida, lined up with the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Truman went at some length
into the budget, and said he was
withdrawing his request for a
$4,000, 100000 tax increase be-
cause he does not want to "injure
the economic health of the
country"
He pointed out that in a budget
of s42, ,oOO. 100000, more than
three-fourths goes to charges for
past wars and to prevent future
wars.
"The remaining $4,000 ,o0o, 900
of the budget provides for all
other functions of the Govern
ment," he amplified. "The major
items in this category are public
works, farm price supports, educa-
ton and housing programs, and
payments for health and social Sc
curity. For country of this size
with a 5000, 600. .000, 900 economy
$4,000, ,000. 900 for such essential
programs is a reasonable sum in
