MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1950 THESE DAYS “eBY<a GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY MORE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW President Truman’s proposal that the Taft-Hartley law be revised by altering the position of its gen- cral counsel is unrelated to the proposals. In a word, the jumps some 20 changes s and among them he roposition to vitiate The various alterations in the organization of the a@dministration rative law, by which the ation has been empowered fields to govern by edict of law, by commissions in- of ‘through the courts. And some of these commissions intended to be si-judicial they are also administrative a situa- overnment agency , investigator, pro- ind jury all at once. 1 Communications is a case in point. It power over radio and and other communica- tions fields. The McFarland Bill has been designed to correct some of the most flagrant errors in the actual operations of this commis- sion. of adm Admini. _todi agencie tion wk is adm secutor, § 10 & WOId, t1e COMDLssIoN, Wil is administrative, is also judicial and the documents prepared by its law department pile up into a mass of gobbledygook. A case in point is the famous Blue Book, which was designed to make radio in America, like that employed in Great Britain by the British Broadcasting Corporation, a gov- ernment monopoly. Many questions arising from this confusion between administration and judicial decisions have tound their into the courts. A leading case is that of the university sys- tem of Georgia V. W. E. Carroll, et decided February 6, 1950. The court held in that decision that “, . .As an administrative body, the commission must find its powers within the compass of the authority given it by Congress. When to as- sert its undoubted power to regu- late radio channels, Congress set up the Federal Communications Commission, it prescribed licensing as the method of regulation. . .In its action on licenses, the . commis- sion is to be guided by what we have calledthe ‘touchstone’ of ‘pub- lic convenience, interest, or nec- essity’. . .These (cited) cases make clear that the commission’s regu- latory powers center around the ses. They: contain no y sanctions, other 1sal or ocation of a lic- ense, that the commission may ap- ply to enforce its decisions.” In a word, the commission is limited to licen: and has no jurisdiction over ate contracts, or rights and liabilities between parties. The Supreme Court decision fol- lows the dissenting opinion of Com- missioner Robert F. Jones in the Port Huron Broadcasting Company al case (WHLS) which had to do with the use of the radio by candidates for public office Mr. Jones Said: “The commission has taken over two and a half years to reach a decision in this case. WHLS has been on a temporary renewal basis| two years during which time the doctrine of the majority opinion was advocated by the commission as an amendment to the Act; fail- ing adoption by the Congress, the majority now write this opinion which if unchallenged makes such amendment unnecssary. At _ this same time WHLS has promised to| carry all political broadcasts even though the statute specifically pro- vides none need be carried. “I see now where great injury| may result from a procedure under which a license is obliged to op- erate his stagion for a long per- iod of time under a temporary li- cense while the commission is de- ciding the issues in his case. The| |loss of his license is a death sen- tence to the operation of his sta- tion. During long pendency of his case he might well be willing to make any concession or promise | that he thinks would satisfy any| disfavor in which he might be held by the commission.” We need a Federal Communica- Itions commission. Without it, radio and television would be an anarchy. The commission must have licens- ing powers or the air waves would be jammed. The problem throughout its ex- istence is the same: To what ex- tent does licensing control, what are the limitations upon the func- tions of the commissions? Often this is a question of personnel; of- '(en it is a question of the delega- 'tion of authority to a law or some !omer department. The problem requires scrutiny and discussions, and hearings on the McFarland Bill offer such an opportunity. PROTESTS RETURN OF KING LEOPOLD (By Associated Press) In Belgium, the move against King Leopold’s return which caused the fall of Premier Gaston Eyskens' government Saturday, continued to grow. Dock and shipyard workers at the great port of Antwerp quit work today to back up the Socialist fight against Leopold’s return. Eyskens began negotiations for a new coalition to call a joint session of Parliament to vote Leopold’s re- turn from exile. Leopold’s chief opponents, former 'premier Paul-Henri Spaak’s Social- ists, announced yesterday - they would call waves of strikes until Leopold abdicates in favor of his son, 19-year-old Prince Baudouin.
