Out of the recent discussions of the | relationship of radio and the press came at least one proposition on which | practically all newspaper publishers, Whether or not they are themsely engaged in brondcasting, are dete mined to unite to accomplish. In fact, most of the better class of broadcasters are also understood to be willing to see it go through It is the proposal to place broad- casting stations under the same legal restraints as newspapers with respect to | the advertising of lotterles or schemes | of chance. Not oniy are newspapers forbidden o print any lottery or scheme of chance | advertising, but State laws are in effect in nearly every State to the same pur- | pose, There is no such Testraint upon | radio, however, in the radio law and in the absence of any formal descrip- | tion of broadcgsting as “audible jour- | nalism"—though 1t functions in many | respects as such—radio has thus far been exempt from both Federal and State laws restraining the type of ad- vertising they can broadcast. Untair Advantage Claimed. The result has been, according to Elisha Hinson, counsel for the Ameri- can Newspaper Publishers’ Association, who has peliticned the Federal Radio Commission to promulgate an order for- bidding lottery and scheme of chance broadcasting, that many radio stations have taken advantage of the situation to broadcast advertising material that should be forbidden. Moreover, says Mr. Hanson, it is giving radio an unfair and unwarranted advantage over news- papers. A typical example of the “abuse” cited by Mr. Hanson, who is preparing & complete survey of examples to sub- mit to the commission, is the case of & | laundry in a Southern community. During the program it sponsors on the radio, it announces that five “lucky numbers” have been placed In the week's laundry deliveries and that the holders of those numbers will get & re- fund of that week’s laundry bill. Such advertising, according to Mr. | Hanson, is entirely forbidden in news- | papers or printed matter going through the mails. Coupons for samples and | for special offers are permissible, but “prizes dependent in whole or in part upon lot or chance” cannot be adver- | tised. If they are forbidden in print, | he contends, they should be forbidden | on the air. 'A resolution to that effect | was recently passed by the A. N. P. A | Publishers Intend to Fight. | It is Mr. Hanson's position that the Federal Radio Commission, with fits broad powers to determine what is in “the public interest, convenience or necessity,” and in spite of the fact that it cannot censor radio programs, hu; ample authority to place similar re- | straints upon radio, even penalizing | stations violating its order to the extent of revoking their broadcasting licenses. | Commission counsel doubt whether, in the absence of specific authority in the radio act, the commission can promulgate a rule similar in effect to & | specific existing statute. Some lawyers and several radio commissioners are | of the opinion that specific legislation is needed from Congress, rather than an order of a commission. The cont mission’s formal position will be made known shortly. ‘Whether the consent of the com- ‘mission or Congress is needed, the pub- lishers intend fighting this proposition through to a finish, according to Mr. Hanson. During the last session of Congress, Senator McNary, Republican, of Oregon, introduced & bill prohibiting | lotteries and schemes of chance on the radio. The bill was offered toward the end ol(the session and failed of en- ent. Dancing Pavilion at Sea.
