Strong OPPOSITION
TO MORE STATIONS
Widening Band or Reducing
Frequency Assailed
by Factions.

Not a single recommendation carried
before the Federal Radio Commission
during its public hearings must neces-
sarily be adopted by that body All Of
the proposals for bringing and main
tanning order in the ether were heard
in the light of suggestions that might
aid the commission when 1t tackles its
problem. No formal acton whatever
was taken at the hearings.
Sentiment, in general, resolved itself
into a most unanimous opposition on
the part of broadcasters and radio
manufacturers, supported by the radio
engineer and the amateur operator, to
the widening of the broadcasting band
or reducing of frequency separations
IN order to accommodate more sta
tions. On the question of eliminating
a certain number of stations there
were divergent views.
1t is plain that eliminating at least
half the present number of stations
would greatly facilitate the commits
slon's task. But this the commission
as plainly dees not relish doing. for
encroachments on property rights are
entalled and court actions almost GER
tainly involved. While it wants to
avoid the pruning process If practic.
ably possible, 1t is difficult to see how
it can avoid refusing licenses to some
stations, in view both of the limited
room in the ether and the difficulty
some broadcasters will have in estab-
fishing the fact that they answer to
the public service, convenience or
necessity" and thus have right to
exist under the radio law.
The burden upon the commission
is far from lightened and it's problem
far from solved by any of the plans
brought forward at the hearings.
Those five men still have all the
technical details to work out to their
own satisfaction. BY mid-April
Admiral Bullard, chairman, is due
back from China. BY April "a all ap-
plications for licenses must be re-
ceived. Then the commission can act

johannesburg Station.

The johannesburg broadcasting sta

rated by this society until a decision

no long interruption Of broadcasting in
that city.
Evening star., 1927-04-03

This land of free speech is not
forced to tolerate censorship OF
breadcasting stations or the ether; 1t
is free as far as the Federal Govern
ment Is concerned. The new radio law
makes it so, the Federal Commission
is powerless to censor stations or in
dividuals, even If 1t wanted to under
take such a task, unless, or course,
speakers become profane, indecent or
obscene, which is expressly forbidden.
The owners or operators of broad
cast stations. however, have the right
to censor material broadcast or Of
fered for broadcast presentation to the
public, just as publishers of newspa-
pers may or may not print a story,
run an advertisement or publish
picture. This holds with one excep-
ton; Congress was insistent that its
members should not be prevented from
campaigning through the ether, and
saying what they pleased, almost as
their privileges in the Capitol grant.
So it is provided in the radio law that
if a broadcaster permits one candi'
date for public office TO use his Station&
he must permit all such candidates.
and he may not censor their talks.
This seems unfortunate, perhaps,
and at contrast with the methods fol-
lowed by newspapers, Which side with
political parties and support such
as they prefer, but it is the
law, and 1t is specific.
Regardless of recent interpretations
of these privileges of the ether, those
are the facts; there is no Federal
but stations may censor
except the utteranees of po-
litical candidates, to all of whom they
may refuse the use of their stations,
but no discrimination is possible be-
tween candidates.
When a member of Congress recent
ly complained to the commission that
a speech he had planned to broadcast
was censored. he was advised that, as
ii was not a campaign speech made by
A political candidate, the station was
within It's rights. Without this privi-
lege it would obviously be impossible
for stations to present desirable or
selected programs; they would have
TO let individuals say what they
pleased. whether 1t confiicted with the
policies of the station and good taste
or was worth while. This right is
merely the extension of the practice
by all reliable, high-class sta
tions since the inception of broadcast
ing, and is literally all that saves the
public from hearing undesirable mat
ter and uninteresting programs.
