- WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (U. P).
—President David Sarnoff .of the |
Radio Corp. of America warned to- | 2 day that the fate of broadcasting
in other nations makes it imperative for the radio sndustry here to
‘establish a system of voluntary self- |§
regulation. Attacks on democracy throughout the world, Mr. Sarnoff said, clearly indicate the necessity for finding a democratic solution ior problems of the American system of broadcasting.’ Such a solution, he said, must be a democratic one. Mr, Sarnoff, also chairman of the
"board of the National Broadcasting
Co., was first witness as the Federal Communications Commission opened an extensive hearing to determine whether noepolistic practices exist in the Aroadcasting industry “An industry code should emerge that advances beyond all previous sstandards,” Mr. Sarnoff said. “Such a code should be an act of volyntary self-regulation on the part of the entire broadcasting industry in the United States. He said the United States is provided with the “finest and most varied radio programs produced anywhere in the world and our traditional liberties have been fortified with a new freedom—freedom of radio—which takes its place with our older freedoms, of religion,
~ speech, and press.
Tells Dies Communist: Sought Control of U. A. W.
. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (U. P.) .— Zygmund Dobrzynski, Detroit, United Automobile Workers organizer, told the House Committee Investigating Un-American Activities today that the Communist Party once sought control of auto unions, believing that in event of war it could paralyze the ‘armaments in~ dustry. | These tactics, Mr. Dobrzynski said,
. were outlined to him in May, 1937,
by William Weinstone, at that time state secretary of the Communist Party, in Michigan. - Mr. Dobrzynski appeared as a witness temporarily substituting for President Homer Martin of the auto union. Mr. Martin, scheduled to testify today, will appear later in the week. Mr. Dobrzynski said he was national director of Ford Motor Co. organizers for the U., A. W. and a member of Local 205. | Mr. Weinstone, the witness testiified, spoke of the importance of . Local 205 as a key union in the auto industry and asked that several Communist Party members and sympathizers be put on the local’s _ executive board.
Committee to Resume TVA Public Hearings
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (U. P.).] —The" joint Congressional commit-
/ tee investigating the TVA meets in
executive session today preparatory to resumption of public hearings. - The committee held extensive hearings in Knoxville, Tenn., this summer, but has hardly touched upon the disputed :value and justice of the TVA’s power prices as a yardstick for private utilities. When hearings begin tomorrow much testimony is expected on this phase of the Administration’s vast power and planning agency. The committee resumed its work as the Supreme Court began hearing oral argument on a test of the ‘constitutionality of the TVA brought by 18 private utilities.

'39 DEMAND FOR FARM PRODUCTS
Purdue’s Experts Forecast Prices Will Be Near Level of 1926.
Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Nov. 14.—A better year for Indiana farmefs during
11939 was predicted today by Purdue University agricultural specialists’
writing in the annual “Indiana Agricultural Outlook.” Farmers may look to the coming year “with a fair degree of confidence that a somewhat greater demand for farm products than existed in 1938 will result,” it was stated. It also was predicted that farm prices “would follow the general price level, likely moving with wide fluctuations gnd reaching toward approximate stability at or near the 1926 level.” Because little or no rise was
| looked for in interest rates to farm-
ers, it is believed that farm ma-
g: |chinery prices in 1939 may “under-
go a downward adjustment.” This
flwas in light of predictions that
horsepower would be cheaper next
i year, the report said.

(Story,
By TOM MENKEL
The noble dome of City Hall emerged today from the haze of election activity — scarred but not cracked. At the same time emerged the South Side tracks of the Indianapolis Union Railway, sooty but to date unelevated.
the one-million-dollar South Side track elevation project was" pursued unflaggingly, if not sometimes mysteriously, by the Administration. Ever since last Tuesday, you hardly would call it a pursuit, though the mystery persists. If there is a pursuit, it would be described more aptly as the South
Side project chasing the Adminis-
tration.
The City stands Som ; as of the Friday before election, to proceed with the elevation project willynilly by Dec. 7, even if the railroad says it won't have anything to do with it. That commitment, peared shaky today, Boetcher said he was not sure just] what the City would do in the event the railroad turns thumbs down on! the project.
And the railroad, reliable wm indicated today, is more than -likely to do just that. These sources indicate that struction plans as prepared by and railroad engineers to date wholly unsatisfactory, plans for financing the share of the project—pffepared by the City—are equally unsatisfactory. - For several weeks before election, Henry B. Steeg, City engineer, made various trips to Chicago to confer on the construction plans, each time reporting favorable progress. . Mr, Steeg’s last trip, made last Wednesday, was reportedly as unfruitful as his previous trips, although Mayor Boetcher said Saturday that he had not heard from Mr. Steeg, and Mr. Steeg himself could not be reached for comment. According ‘to action taken last Friday by the Works Board in approving for intreduction to City Council an ordinance providing for a bond issue to pay the City’s share of the total cost, the City will be financially able to start work on the elevation by Dec. 7. On that date, according to terms of an agreement with PWA, which is to pay 45 per cent of the elevation cost, work must be started or the grant will not be made. It was the City’s expressed ;plan at Friday's board meeting, accerd-

attorney, to make a technical start on elevation by the PWA deadline. If such a move were made, Mr Reddington explained, “the City then would have done all it could do” -bysway of furthering the elevation ‘under the existing Indiana law. ” “The railroad could stop the City from proceeding with the work, if the. railroad didn’t want it to proceed, by taking appropriate legal steps, such as an injunction to keep us off their right-of-way,” Mr. Reddington said. Although Mayor Boetcher today would not say that the City would abandon this commitment, neither would he say that it would go ahead with it. And the railroad, which has maintained a continuous silence on clevation since it first declared that it was financially unable to proceed, was expected to issue a statement some time in the near future.
CALIFORNIA DOCTORS DRAFT HEALTH PLAN
Propose ieraviert for Fees and Hospital Bills.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14 (OU. P.).—A subcommittee of the California Medical Association today undertook to draft a plan providing medical and hospital service for any citizens of California who wanted to pay -nominal monthly fees.
The proposal will differ from}
other monthly payment plans in that it provides for payment of doctor’s fees in addition to hospital service. The association council, describing itself as making a “mo-

Price Index Slumps
The farm price index dropped 29 points in the year ending October, 1938, falling slightly below the level of the base period of 1910-14 or 100. This drop, the report states, was one of the most rapid on record, having been exceeded only in 1920-21, following the World War, and again in 1929-32. Part of the drop in farm prices was attributed by the experts to better crop conditions and part to the. general drop in ‘commodity prices. With the expected continuation of wide fluctuations in farm products, farmers were urged to “keep their finances in condition so they can
and to avoid radical changes in farming programs and - to avoid panicky selling or over-optimistic expansion as a result of rapid price changes.” The index of Indiana farm real estate values increased during the 12-month period ended March .1, marking the fifth consecutive rise in values. With 1910-14 Indiana farm real estate prices as 100, the figure stood at 73 on March 1. This indicates a three-point increase over the preceding 12 months and a 20point increase over the 1933 low, the report states.

«from Ireland © and ‘founded the
family fortune with his one-third share of the famous bénanza mine. Clarence Hungerford Mackay, born in San Francisco on April 17, 1874, was trained by his father for one purpose—the ultimate direction of the cable and telegraph companies which he had founded.
