Probe Broadcasts
WASHINGTON, March l."i. (UI>) —Chairman Martin Dies. D., Tex , of the House committee on un-Ameri-can activities, today promised a “showdown in the near future” on whether some broadcasting' companies and radio commentators are “deiiverately furthering and aiding a program of un-American propa-
ganda.’’
Charging that there was evidence of “collusion” between some broadcasting firms and commercial sponsors “to mold public opinion by propaganda,” Dies said his committee would subpena scripts of certain commentators and possibly their sponsors and officials of the networks “to inquire into their motives and reasons for dissimination of
falsehoods.”
He did not mention any commentator by name. But last week in a speech on the House floor he accused j commentator and columnist Walter I Winchell of making false statements J concerning him. Dies said the National Broadcasting Company had refused to allow him Winchell’s radio] time to answer the allegations.
Dies said the test of whether a
network is promoting un-American | Thi , w R c wjU mept Tuesday propaganda may be determined by j afternc>)n at 2:3 o at t;i9 c , m) t H„ U se

March 13.—(UP)— Pope Lius XII appealed once again to the amries battling for “the somuch martyred city of Rome” yesterday to s’lare the Eternal City. Speaking to a throng of Romans from a balcony overlooking rai.issaked St. Peter's Square—where the soi ids of the Anzio beachhead guns sometimes can be heard and warplanes seen overhead—the pontiff said that to turn Rome into a field of battle or a theater of war would be an “act as inglorious militarily as it is abominable in the eyes of God and humanity.” “We therefore once more appeal to the clear-sightedness and wisdom of responsible men on both belligerent sides who would not associate themselves with an act that no motive can ever justify in the eyes of history, but would rather turn their thoughts their endeavors, desires and efforts toward a firm and lasting liberating peace,” he said. “The whole impact of aerial warlare comes down upon the city daily. The raids are acts which, from a military point of view, are inglorious and morally indefensible. “Again I tuin to those responsible on both sides to use all means at their disposal to put an end to such cruel deeds and to help bring about peace for which they will be blessed and not cursed by centuries to come.” The Pope, speaking in Italian on the fifth anniversary of his coronation, was interrupted by cheering and cries og “viva il papa” when hu made this statement. His IS-minut't address was broadcast by the Vatican ladlo and recorded here.

The Farmers Home Corji., created by Congress in the Banktead-Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937, was actually never set up. The pitiposed bill would call for the appointtnent of a president, vice-president and seem-iry-treasurer of the corporation by the Secretary of AgricultiFe. Present functions of the f’SA to be abolished in the transfer include authority to create farm resettlement projects or to “regiment families” within farm communities, to make loans to cooperative projects, and the power to issue 99-year leases on property acquired by the govern-
ment.
The proposed legislation also would stipulate the local committees organized through the fortner FSA regional offices must have the representation of at least two farmers in
the community.
The Farm Credit Administration, with its present duties and functions, including the authority to make loans to established and approved cooperative setups, would not be af-
fected.
