SOLON PROPOSES RADIO OVERHAUL Legislation Would Compel Stations to Give Equal Time in Debate WASHINGTON, July 31— Wl — Senator White (R-Me) introduced today legislation to overhaul the present Federal Communications act. Among other things ,the meas ure would require a radio station owner “to afford a right of reply where public officers, other than the President, use his station for the discussion of public or political questions.” “This right of reply is to be ex ercised by the accredited represen tatives of the opposition political party or parties,” a statement by White said, “and is to be afforded upon the same terms and condi tions as the original discussion.” Another provision of the new legislation would require all radio speakers on political questions whether local, state or national— to be identified. White said other provisions of the measure were “designed tt> curb an alleged tendency on the part of the Federal Communica tions commission to discriminate in a manner not authorized by the statute between applicants for broadcast and other radio facili ties. “An administrative tribunal . . . is not . . . authorized or permitted to set itself up as a general legis lative body making its own rules of conduct and decision wholly apart from and beyond the langu age of the statute. “The tendency to do this, pre valent among virtually all admin istrative tribunals, has recently be come very aggravated at the com mission.” Local Beach Officers Hunt Kannapolis Girl Missing Since Tuesday Officers at beaches in the Wil mington vicinity were advised yes terday that Genevia Edminson, 14, is missing from her home at Ka napolis. Relatives of the girl telephoned officers of the beaches and ad vised that she had been missing from her home since Tuesday night. It was stated that the girl had received a letter recently from a Wilmington friend who had invited her to visit the beaches in the vicinity. Police Chief E. V. Leonard of Carolina Beach enlisted the aid of the Wilmington department in an effort to locate the girl if she is in this vicinity. 1 Six Persons Contribute Containers for Canning Of Surplus Vegetables Six persons have contributed jars this week for the canning of sur plus vegetables by participants in the City Garden Program, Carl Rehder, director, announced last night.

Most agreed that gasoline would be saved, but at the same time added that employment would be, reduced. “I believe,” one dealer said, re questing that his name not be dis closed, “that the closing of a large number of stations will result in a considerable saving of gasoline, but I also think it will force most of us to dispense with some of our employes. For instance, we now have four men employed on a 3 to 11 p. m. shift. If we must close from 7 p. m. until 7 a. m., it natur ally will be unnecessary to employ these men during the time the sta tion is closed.” There was a dissenting opinion from C. A. Walters, of the Atlantic Refining company, regarding the possible saving of gasoline, al though he agreed that the move ment would result in unemploy ment. “I do not think,” Mr. Walters said, “that closing of the filling stations would result in any sav ing of gasolme. There is nothing to prevent a motorist from 'tanking up’ before 7 o’clock at night. I really cannot see how it would be of any benefit, and I do know that it would result in unemployment.” J. Cecil White, manager of White’s Amoco service, expressed the belief that the closing of filling stations during the prescribed pe riod would be a gasoline-saving factor. “A great many tourists, in par ticular,” Mr. White said, “who now do a great deal of traveling at night would cease that practice, and that, in itself would, I believe, result in a tremendous saving of gasoline.” Mr. White agreed with others that possibly many service station employees would be reduced to part-time employment. A. M. Horne, manager of the Greenfield Service station, agreed with other commentators that a saving of gasoline will result, and also that an unemployment situa tion will develop in those service stations which operate on a 24 hour daily basis.
