Equivalent To Censorship Broadcasting Cannot Survive Impact of Decree, Court Told By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Counsel for the National Broadcasting Co. ar- gued in Federal Court today that | the Federal Communications Com- | mission, in an order regulating net- work broadcasting. had usurped the | authority of the Federal Court and raised a threat to freedom of speech tantamount to censorship. John T. Cahill, addressing a three- man court on behalf of N. B. C. and Associate Broadcasters, appealed for an injunction annulling the F. C. C. order, declaring that otherwise N. B. C. would suffer irreparable injury. “Broadcasting cannot survive the impact of the F. C. C. order,” said | Mr. Cahill, former United States at- | torney for the Southern New York | district. “A collapse of network | broadcasting is an inevitable resuu | The F. C. C. orders would bar ex- | slusiveness in contracts between net- | works and affiliated stations and | would prohibit N. B. C. from owning | two networks. | In this connection, Mr. Cahill | pointed out that N. B. C. already has segregated the assets of the blue network and now operates only | one national network, the red. ‘The Columbia Broadcasting Sys- | tem also is seeking relief fram the orders and will present its brief later in the hearing before the special statutory court consisting of Judges Learned Hand, John- Bright | anad Henry W. Goddard. | The Mutual Broadcasting System | | entered the case as a friend of the | court. | _Mr. Cahill asserted that the F.| C. C. had become a self-appointed | “efficiency expert” and consjdered | itself more capable of directing the | business policies of the broadcasters than their elected executives. Charges Usurpation. “The F. C. C. without legal right | has usurped the authority of the | Federal court in seeking to deter- | mine that the N. B. C. network operation constitutes an unlawful monopoly,” he said. | | _He continued that the F. | claim of power was, “on its face,” an | ; invasion of the rights guaranteed by | section 326 of the Communications }Act and by the first amendment to the Constitution. “A power to impose prior restraints upon the publication and circulation | of news and ideas would put into the | hands of the F, C. C. a power to | repress free speéch,” he said. “This | would be the power of censorship.” |, Tictional authority’ has been built up by the Federal Communica- tions Commission to bolster its pro- posed order seeking to compel re- | vision of business arrapgements be- tween network broadcasting organi- | zations and 500 broadcasting sta- tions,” he continued. ‘Orderly Use of the Air.’ Mr. Cahill said that the Commu- nications Act of 1934 speeifically provided that “a person engaged in radio broadcasting shall not, insofar | as such person is so engaged, be ‘deemed a common carrier,” thereby excluding from the act any intent | to so regulate the broadcasting bus- | iness. He referred to excerpts from con- | gressional debates and Supreme Court decisions seeking to show that considerations of “monopoly” had to do with monopoly of air time and not the business of broadcasting; | and that the congressional objective in passing the act under which the C. C. operates was “an orderly iuse of the air.” He said that Congress, in passing the 1934 Communications Act, omit- ted provisions requiring the Com- mission to distribute broadcasting licenses so that no one licensee or | | organization of licensees should ex- ercise dominant control over the broadcasting facilities in any lo- cality. I “Attacks” Instigated. Niles Trammell, president of N B. C, declared yesterday the $10275,000 suit filed against N. B. C. by the Mutual Broadcast- ing System, was “the culmination of a series of attacks” which he said M. B. 8. had instigated “since | N. B. C. refused to sell to it impor- | tant parts of the Blue network.” | The M. B. S. suit, filed in Federal | Court in Chicago by M. B. 8. and six affiliated stations, named N. B. C. and the Radio Corp. of America as defendants. It charged that they | had violated the Sherman Anti- | Trust law by hindering Mutual in | the sale of national network time | and by “restricting Mutual in its ability to freely and fairly compete in the transmission in interstate commerce of Nation-wide network | programs.” Trammell Issues Statement. Commenting on the suit, Mr. Trammell said in a statement re- leased by N. B. C.: “This suit is the culmination of a series of attacks that have been in- tigated against N. B. C. and the Blue network by Mutual since N. B. C. refused to sell to it important parts of the Blue network. “It should now be revealed that about two years ago the dominant interests in Mutual, R. H. Macy & Co. and the Chicago Tribune sought to purchase parts of the Blue net- work from us, which would have | destroyed the value as a coast-to- coast network. By such elimina- tion of the Blue, these interests sought to diminish rather than to increase network competition. There would have been three Nation-wide networks instead of four as at pres- ent “We refused to dismember the Blue network. Mutual began cam- paigns in Washington and else- where, urging the adoption by the F. C. C. of new network regulations which would enable Mutual to achieve the end it sought. Mean- while, Mutual also induced breathes of contract between our Blue net- work and affiliated stations, a fact which we wm prove in these court roceedings.” Malta Attacks Cut Rcuds Over ltaly, Rome Says By the Associated Press.

Reporfed Renewing Pressure on Eire New Overtures Made for Use of Bases in War, London Declares By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, Jan. 12.—Britain and the United States were reliably re- ported today to be renewing their pressure for wat bases in neutral| Eire. New overtures, combined with a | concerted British press campaign for ports and airfields in Eire, both to defend the island and to aid the Allied war in the Atlantic, s0 far have been mainly informal but | official, it was said. Prime Minister Eamon de Valera of Eire has said he sympathized with the United States in its war, but that it would promote disunity for Eire to become involved. United States representatives in Dublin, it was said, have been ex- erting so much pressure on the Eire government in personal contacts that some of their old popularity is waning. Look Wishfully at Bases. Both the British and United | States representatives were said to have insisted that nothing in the way of new proposals have been submitted formally to the Irish, but they make no secret that they look wishfully at such potential bases as Berehaven, Cobh and Lough Swilly, which would help the Allies counter German intensifica- tion of the battle of the Atlantic or new moves toward West Africa. The three bases were used by the British and United States fleets | during the World War and were re- : tained by Britain after Eire became | a nation until the Eire-British | agreement of 1938. They were given | back to Eire by the Chamberlain | government . At that time they were described by Winston Churchill, then a*fre- quent critic of the government, as “sentinel towers of the western ap- proaches upon which 45,000,000 people in these islands depend for foreign food and daily bread.” Press Bemoans Action. The Evening Star said today “that these bases should have been sur- | rendered (by Britain) in 1938 when the fires of war were visibly being | stoked up by Germans seems in- | credible now.” The well-informed British Press Association, in the same breath in! which it denied that the United States and Britain had made formal approaches to Eire, said that “the fact remains that Churchill's words to Commons in November, 1940, are as true today as then.” Irish sources said Prime Min- ister De Valera had not changed his attitude one bit since the United States entered the war. Last year he said in an interview British warships are maintaining ! later it said complete tranquum that “The minute we permitted any a sharp blockade of the Libyan coast. Cruisers and destroyers fre- | | heavily bombard enemy positions near Halfaya Pass and in other sectors. The admiral said battleship guns‘ still were more effective and devas- | tating than the work of 30 bombers The tall, blue-eved and graying rear admiral recently was decorated for distinguished service in helping Crete. Not Alarmed b,\ Pacific War. Admiral Rawlings said he was not alarmed by the naval situation in the Pacific. Commenting on the American Fleet's activities, he as- “The American Fleet has yet to do what we did at the start of the changing conditions and circum- stances. Of course, the American Fleet didn't get a fair start. After all there were no whistles blown, but the whole situation will come around satisfactorily much quicker than the Japanese think. “It was just a question of sur- prise. I am not expressing an opin- ion as to whether there should have been surprise.” The admiral said that even if STARTS JAN. 14TH ENGAGEMENT LIMITED D(NISE TAYLOR PRICES Eves.: SL10. $1.35, $1.65, g2.99, s.75 &Alflow.a Mats.: §.85, SL10, SL5, SL5. $2.30 MWM! < e ere——— S A prevailed.
