ADVERTISING LIMIT
HELD RADIOS NEED
Commissioner La Fount Declares
Stations Are Licensed for
Benefit Of Public.

What radio needs today, according to
Radio Commissioner La Fount, is linn
itation on the kind and amount of ad-
vertising on the air.
In formal statement he said broad
casting stations were licensed to serve
the public and not for the furthering
Of private or selfish interests of tn
dividuals."
Since advertising furnishes the eco
nomic support for the service station
renders and makes it possible" he
added. ut must necessarily be an ex-
ception to the rule.
However, the amount and character
OF advertising must be rigidly confined
within limits consistent with the public
service expected of the station
Stressing the necessity for limitation.
Mr.. La Fount cited the recent decision
of the District of Columbia Court of
Appeals upholding the Radio Commits
sion in refusing to renew the license OF
Station KFKB Of Milford, Kans
The license was refused on the grounds
that DR.. John B. Brikley, who operated
the station, had prescribed for ailments
over the radio.
