THE ORACLE. en re ee ern - a ee Fa BROADCAST PROBLEMS Radio broadcasters are somewhat con- cerned over a bill proposed by Senator White, of Maine, feeling that it contains a threat of “eensorship” of radio programs by the Federal Communications Commis- Bion, ‘ The broadcasters suggest that any lim- itation on freedom of speech and radio may be a blow at freedom of the press and that radio stations should have the right to make editorial comments, just like hewspapers. There is a difference between newspa- pers and radio stations, however. The Gov- ernment does not give to any newspaper a poly in any area and there is no limi- on the number of newspapers pub- except that imposed ‘by the neces- sity of capital and operators, We realize that the problem confront- ing the broadcasters and the representa- tives of the people are complex and not to be solved very easily. There is basis for the conyplaint of Senator Johnson, of Colo- that the first respnosibility of radio ws to be the advertiser.” The answer that programs are based upon public ap- provab sounds logical but, in fact, the pub- lic can exercise very little influence upon what a broadcasting station decides to put on the ether. The situation may be somewhat re- solved when frequency modulation comes into widespread use. This system, we un- derstand, offers the possibility of many radio stations which can operate without conflict between various stations. The Government, through the Federal Communications Commission, has seen fit to grant certain clear channel stations to some stations. The possession of such a clear channel is worth a fortune but would he worthless unless the Government gets other stations off the channel granted. It might be advisable for the Government, in’ the interest of people, to recosidern the in the interest of people, to reconsider the policy of establishing clear-channel sta- tions. This would probably permit a great- er number of stations to operate in the United States. A better world will be here when all nations are as anxious to perform their duties as it is to assert their rights. ; There are some Americans who sug- gest that control of the U. S. Government may pass into the hands of avery small group of individuals; the remedy lies in the ballot-box, plus intelligent voters. CENTRALIZED PURCHASING Florida Master Printers and Asso- ciates, Inc., which was instrumental in de- feating a centralized purchasing bill in, this year’s session of the legislature, -de- clares that, although the measure failed to to |'pass, it is not by any means dead. The Speaker of the House of Represen- tatives was among the sponsors who would have saddled the state government with a centralized purchasing agency. Under the bill. all supplies, commodi- ties and services would have been -obtain- ed by a purchasing agent with millions of dollars to handle. In discussing the bill, Florida Master Printers and Associates, Inc., pointed out: “On the face of it, mass purchasing has a strong legislative and publie economic appeal; but in actual practice, the univer- sal. experience is that the acts of a purchas- ing czar ultimately work out very unpleas- antly. It was on this premise, together with the fact that the proposed bill re- pealed the State printing law, that the commercial printing industry determinedly | set out to defeat it. “Our efforts to defeat the bill to cre- ate this dictatorial purchasing bureau would have heen of no .avail without the understanding interest of several cabinet members. But for the unselfish, public- spirited and effective assistance of these government officials, the state today would be saddled with an unworkable central purchasing authority, the ultimate out- come of which, beyond the question of a doubt, would have been unsatisfactory and uneconomic. “Although defeated at the late session, the warning has been issued that the idea of centrilized purchasing is not dead. There are only two short years in which to strengthen our minority group so that in 1949 this vicious piece of legislation will again be discarded. It is therefore incum- bent upon all far-sighted business inter- ests of the State to see that legislative representatives are sent to the 1949 Legis- lature who are fully informed of the un- workability of centralized purchasing in the state government.” People who see flying saucers perhaps are in their cups. Some people take so long getting ready to work that other persons do the work. It is said that the Royal Mounted of Canada always get their man. Leave it to the girls in the United States, too, to al- ways get their man. Ex-Congressman Andrew J. May, class- ing his recent bribery conviction as ‘“un- fair,” applied for a new trial. “No man e’er felt the halter draw, with good opin- ion of the law.” Six-week vacations—with pay—were asked by the CIO National Maritime un-‘ ion in recent .,demands on ship operators. The union also asked 11 paid holidays and new down pillows for all bunks every six weeks. Is that all? Isn’t there anything else? SAYS BUYING WILL CONTINUE A sustained demand for goods through | 1947 is foreseen by economists who, after a survey of some three thousand families, have come to the conclusion that most buyers have already dipped into their sav- ings but are ready to further utilize sav- ings or government bonds to buy what they want. Except for automobiles, which still have a priority, the initial demand for post-war goods is considered to be over. The explanation is that replacement pur- chases have been made and that other families are postponing their buying in the belief that prices will come down. It is interesting to note that a survey, made for the Federal Reserve Board. in- dicates that family income rose during the past year. It shows that 1,192,000 fam- ilies moved into the $5,000-a-vear group, that nearly 3,000,000 families moved into the group earning $2,000 and $5,000, and that the low-income family group, enjoy- ing less than $2,000 a year, decreased by more than 3,000,000. _ While the economists are probably | Tight in saying that some Key West fam- ilies will sacrifice savings or war bonds to buy what they need, or think they need, our advice to prospective purchasers is to carefully hoard all savings for a pos- j sible rainy day. It is yery convenient to have a backlog reserve when times are bad | and the only way to have it is to avoid ispending savings when times are good.
