and thereby lost the value OF their prop
erty altogether. But they are less con-
fident when it comes to contending with
the commissions orders and regulations
under the law. The station whose at
torney gave I'D his case in despair had
commended that an order to change us
wave length was unconstitutional oe-
cause It circumscribed the use OF val
liable property and hence amounted 10
deprivation.
The same argument was presented In
each of the other two cases. one new
York station, the first to sue, went TO
the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia. the court of first instance
here. to ask for an injunction against
the enforcement of an order to change
to a lower wave length. The other two
cases also involving New York stations,
were legal appeals from the commits
sion's orders of a similar nature, ana
under the law they went Immediately
to the court of second instance, which is
the Court of Appeals of the District OF
Columbia.
Brief States Argument.
From the latter court they might
have been carried to the Supreme Court
of the United States If that body would
have been carried to the Supreme Court
seen fit to fight it's battle out as yet. An
indication of the sort of argument that
would be raised, If the commission in its
present proceeding orders off some OF
the stations that are prepared to fight,
is given in brief prepared by Ernest
Reichman of Chicago who is counsel
for the Independent Broadcasters' AS
ISOLATION.
First, he contends. Congress cannot
deprive a licensed broadcaster OF the
value of his property without compen-
sation. The law provides for no recon-
pense to stations, and to order them off
would be confiscatory. Since radio
broadcasting is not deleterious to public
health or morals. the power OF Congress
to regulate does not include power to
destroy without compensation.
Secondly, If Congress had power to
conflscate it could only be exercised in
accordance with the constitutional guar
anty of due process of law. according
to Reichman He goes on to charge
that the trial" proceedings which have
been conducted by the commission for
the last two weeks are not due process.
One of the reasons given is that the
commission has never essayed to define
the broad term public interest, con-
VenlenCe, or necessity, ana respondents
therefore have nothing in the way of an
issue of fact or law to which the attor-
ney could address himself THE only
issue" Reichman stated lis the men
