A1XJEN WASHINGTON Federal Com-muriications Com-muriications Commissinon officials have uncovered a trail in their radio monopoly probe that may bring a score of leading movie stars to the Capital for a public hearing. The FCC is interested in tne glamour queens and kings who are starring on national radio programs. pro-grams. The commission has nothing noth-ing against the movie people. All it wants from them is information. informa-tion. The real quarry is the National Na-tional Broadcasting company and the Columbia Broadcasting system. sys-tem. Investigators have discovered that agencies operated by the radio corporations have a practical practi-cal mononolv on the placing of movie and opera stars on radio programs. Through their "artists service" bureaus, NBC and CBS act in the dual capacity of representing repre-senting the stars and also the advertisers ad-vertisers who employ them. On the one hand the two chains are supposed to get the best possible possi-ble terms for the performers; on the other, they are supposed to do the same for the time buyers. Information in the hands of the FCC is that through a secret tie-up tie-up with the Metropolitan Opera company of New York, NBC and CBS have an iron-bound monopoly on the placing of concert stars on programs over their systems. Tms control is not so complete in the movie field, but the chain agencies do most of the business. FCC authorities consider this situation extremely undesirable and directly counter to the spirit, if not the letter, of the anti-trust laws. Note Among the stars who may be summoned to Washing ton are Bing Crosby, Dorothy La-mour, La-mour, Don Ameche, Edgar Bergen, Berg-en, Bob Burns, Carole Lombard, Adolphe Menjou, and Miriam Hopkins.

KLEIN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec 9 (u.R) The vanguard of the western silver bloc in congress demanded today , that the federal government govern-ment continue next year to pay at least 64.64 cents an ounce for newly-mined newly-mined domestic silver the price established for 1938 by president ial proclamation. . The demand was voiced by Senator King, D., Utah, as treasury treas-ury monetary experts prepared . data which will help President Roosevelt decide what price the . treasury should pay in 1939. Prefers Status Quo-Mr. Quo-Mr. Roosevelt's proclamation of Dec. 31, 1937, lowered the -domestic price from 77.70 cents, which had been in effect since April 24, 1935, to 64.64 cents. The proclamation expires at midnight Dec. 31 this year. Opponents of the government's silver policy contend that the treasury is pay- t. ing producers a 21.64 cents sub- sidy over the world price of 43 cents. "I think the domestic sflTer price had better be left in status -quo," said King. "If an attempt is made to lower the price it might reopen the entire, highly controversial monetary &uettoJi JThe. jpresent silver LpoUcy doesr not" have thelfull support of Presl--dent Roosevelt's monetary advis-.-ors. Secretary of the Treasury i. Morgenthau, who will recommend -to Mi. Roosevelt the future domestic do-mestic silver price, is one of those to have little sympathy with the silver purchase program. Kb recommended last year's cut. Ratio Not Achieved Under the silver purchase act the treasury must purchase silver sil-ver both domestic and foreign until the monetary value of the government's silver stock is " equivalent to one-third the monetary mone-tary value of the gold reserve. Foreign silver is purchased at a price set by tne treasury, wnica has been the world price plus small handling. insurance and ' shipping charges. The projected statutory ratio of silver to gold is far from achievement achieve-ment as a result, primarily, of the flight of gold from abroad to the United States in recent years. King insisted there was nothing noth-ing seriously wrong with the suV ver program. He contended the fault lay in the administration's gold-buying policy. Some countries, coun-tries, he argued, mine gold for about $12 to $13 an ounce and that eventually it is sold to the" United States for $35 an ounce.
