Senator Berates FCC Head During Testimony June 4. (AP) Senator White told Chairman James L, Fly of the Federal Communications Commission today that the commission had exceeded its statutory authority when it sought to prevent "monopoly In recently promulgated rules for chain broadcasting. The commission, White contended, had attempted m the rules to specify monpolistic practices and prevent them. One effect of the rules would be to force the National Broadcasting Company to give up one of its chains. I don't believe in the authority of this commission to say what are acts violative of the antitrust statutes of the United States, White declared while Fly was testifying at a Senate Interstate Commerce Committee hearing on his resolution to suspend the rules pending a Senate investigation. Fly said the law gave the commission authority to regulate chain broadcasting and to use the licensing power in the public interest. "If we used the licensing power to build up monopoly," Fly asserted, "I dont think any of us can contend that it is in the pubhc interest." He disagreed also with a contention by White that courts had the 'exclusive jurisdiction over monopolistic practice through enforcement of anti-truWASHINGTON, .)

Specifically, it was suggested -- that1 gasless Sundays" be started, and that the temperature, homes be kept five in degrees lower this winter. No federal program has yet been formulated, however. A full report on the situation was submitted yesterday to Secretary Ickes, defense petroleum coordinator, by a committee of the petroleum industry. The Industry pledged its support "to any extent" in helping to meet the anticipated emergency. Only last week Ickes, himself, mentioned the possibility of "gasless Sundays to conserve the gasoline normally used by pleasure motorists. The Netherlands instituted such regulations shortly after the war started in 1939 and they were reported almost 100 per cent effective for vehicles, because -- offenders were fined more than $250. The report of the oil men did not estimate how much gasoline could be saved in this manner, but it did state that a nationwide reduction of five degrees in the temperatures of homes would effect a 10 per cent saving in the amount of fuel oil consumed. The belief in some Informed quarters was that every effort would be made to keep the fupl oil supply as close to normal as possible, especially as winter approached, Hence, it was said, the average man would be likelv to feel the scarcity In gasoline before fuel oil. d (Continued Frorti Page One) former emperor talked for several hours yesterday afternoon with bis major domo, but showed signs of a relapse later, approached a crisis at 8 p.m., and shortly thereafter lost consciousness.

A number of generals and ad mirals who served in the kaisers imperial forces will go lo Doorn for the rites and Hitler has placed a special train at the disposal of the family to travel there. It is understood that Arthur as German commissioner for the Netherlands, has been requested to represent Hitler at the funeral. The casket bearing Wilhelms body will be interred tempoiarily in a little chapel on the Doorn estate, since no mausoleum or crypt has been built. FAVORED HITLER The "Old Man of Doorn who in his time commanded the worlds mightiest military machine, regarded the ascendancy of Adolf Hitler to the leadership of the Reich in 1933 as a step in the right dnection.' When Hitler .picked up the saber dropped in 1918 by the kaiser and turned it Into terrifying blitzkrieg in 1939, 13 of Wilhelms family were in Nazi uniform. One son, Prmce Oscar of Prussia, H grandsons and one grand nfephew of the kaiser marched with the legions. Two of the grandsons since have fallen in battle. Another grandson was interned by the British. Rumor on rumor had cropped up since 1933 that the kaiser was actively behind the scenes of rejuvenated Germany and that he would one day triumphantly return to Berlin to claim his divine right as emperor. All such reports were quickly spiked. '"Old trees cannot be transplanted, the kaiser often remarked, seemingly content in hisor-derl- y life at the Doorn estate.
