Those are not actual con-

sort Of thing that gives the
Federal Communications Com
mission fits.
Since the radio telephone Is
20 important to the safety Of
boats Of all sizes from ocean
liners to cabin cruisers, the
FEC has established rigid rules
Of operation. among these being
q ban on chit-chat over the air
waves.
Violators get warning notices
and II the offenses are repeated
. second or third time. may
have their licenses suspended
or revoked. If profanity or
obscenity are used. the FBI
steps in and may make o GRIM
inal case Of 1t. There have
been at least 10 convictions of
this type.
Nevertheless, chatter goes on
all the time. in Chesapeake Bay
as well as other parts Of the
country. Anyone with o ship
to-shore phone has heard the
fishing captains talk back and
forth about their luck in GER
tain places. Even these con-
versationS are frowned on be-
cause they may interfere with
a call affecting the safety or
operation Of some ship.
To get an idea Of the sort Of
thing that gives the FEC the
most trouble. we checked its
records, the other day. Ac-
tually, complaints in this cate
CORY were not az numerous as
those for using improper calling
procedure. But under q new
rule. effective this week, the
latter are expected to drop off
sharply.

doesn't want to do anything
that might mean more work
for the local communities to
stop the spread of slums.".
SIum Profits
Mr.. Powell contended
death of the anti-slum
amendment will mean that
taxpayers will be required to
pour untold billions into our
communities for public hous-
ing and urban renewal, and
slum landlords will be per-
mitted to flourish and ex-
act their profit.
He pointed out that for
seven years there has been q
requirement on the statute
books that q community
must have a workable pro-
gram against the spread of
Slums before it can qualify
for urban renewal or public
housing. However, he added,
1t has generally been ignored.
I'VE will never win the
fight against slums," the
NAREB official declared,
unless and until we can
make Slums unprofitable."

NAREB Chief
Says Rains
Was Wrong

o. G. Powell. president Of
the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, slapped
back this week at Repre-
sentative Rains, Democrat of
Alabama, one of the most
active figures in passage of
the new Public Housing
Bill.
Mr.. Powell told a New
England realtors convention
at Pike, N. H.. that the Ala
baman was as wrong as
could be" in asserting the
proposed anti-slum amend
ment in the housing bill was
IAN ingenious method" to
kill urban renewal aspects
Of the legislation.
Amendment Rejected
Powell's group had vigor-
ously opposed passage Of the
bill without an anti-slum
clause being included. How
ever, following a speech by
Representative Rains the
House rejected the amend
ment by a vote of 141 to 90.
In his fight to kill the
amendment, Mr.. Rains as
serted the amendment was
"an ingenious method
thought up by those who
would kill the urban renewal
program"
Mr.. Powell told the New
England real estate men.
Congressman Rains was re-
ferring to us and he was as
wrong as he could be in

but along with it we want to
