BIG QUESTION Sooner later it must be decided whether the constitutional guarantee of free speech applies to the radio. The question raises a dilemma scarcely fore- seen by the authors of the Bill of Rights. One horn of the dilemma is that radio is a public utility en- gaged in interstate commerce and so subject to Fed- eral regulation regulatior n easily be employed by the Government in interest. Speaking before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce month, Mr. Niles Trammell, President of the National Broadcast- ing Company, expressed a fear tHat broadcasting might become a Federal monopoly, “without Govern- ment owning a single stock in radio station or having a single representative in corporate managemerit.” He asked that the FCC be prevented by law from exercising any control over radio pro- grams. He also asked for various other revisions of the Communications Act which would tend to dim- inish or restrict the licensing power of the commission What it all seems to boil down to do is the ques- tion of whether radio is to continue on its present basis as a commercial enterprise deriving its main revenue from advertisers or whether it is to have a quasi-official status like the BBC. It seems to us that there hardly that the radio, whether in public or private hands, is a monopolistic institution, and can hardly be otherwise. The number of radio stat that be operated simultaneously is limited by physical laws. Again, by its nature, the radio, it seems to us, lends itself more readil anda than to the free, full and open its own last share of a is any question ns or chains can to propa Kashingion Merry- Go-Round nce bet he little, but final there was no diff ‘In other words, subsidy by smell as sweet subsidies unless sidy.” NOTE — The (Conuinuea 1:om Page One) | wage system' or The other horn is that this power of | oil refiners grinned, argued any other And you are against it's THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA HAPPY BIRTHDAY |I| 20 YEARS AGO #ur THE EMPIRE e et e ettt Doris McEachran Ellis C.

In the last analy: propaganda will be in favor of whoever pays the cost. There are certain questions concerning which the commercial radio makes no pretense of offering both sides. So far as we can observe, for example, the various plugs in favor of the consumption of beer and of cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco are not offset by any comparable amount of time for rebuttal granted to the WCTU or to the Anti-Nicotine League. We are not, you must understand, complaining about this, but merely pointing out that as long as radio remains a commercial enterprise, the greater part of the broad- casting time will be devoted to one-sided propaganda to promote the sale of various manufactured products. Mr. Trammell says that Government control of adio is “a pistol aimed at the heart of all our demo- cratic freedom.” TIf by this he means that sales propaganda, because easily identified as such, is much less dangerous than political propaganda, we should be inclined to Of course, a commercial radio also means that a great of the programs will be puerile, vulgar or downright idiotic, since they are chesen on the assumption that the volume of sales for the sponsor’s product will be in direct ratio to the number of listeners. Here we have another in- stance of the operation of Gresham's law in modern society; the bad stuff driving the good off the air, or, a 1y rate, severely restricting it. “Mr. Trammell, however, is evidently a bit touchy on this point. He speaks rather bitterly of those who try to disparge the “daytime serials” by giving them the opprobrious After an absence of almost three months, the Coast Guard cutter Unalga returned here from Seattle and other Puget Sound ports after undergoing annual overhauling and repairs.
