Il dom Of speech over the air"
may be eSsayed by Rev. Robert
P. Fighting Bob Shuler, postor-
broadcaster of Los Angeles, whose
station was deleted from the lists by
the Federal Radio Commission last
month.
Blocked in his attempt to have the
lower courts restore Station KGEF to
its operating assignment while the
commissions decision was being
appealed. counsel for DR.. Shuler plan
to ask the Nations highest tribunal
to review the constitutional questions.
While such procedure would be un-
usual. It would not be unprecedented,
for the Supreme Court, in several
instances. has accepted cases for review
before a lower court has finally
adjudicated them.
Station SiIenced November 13.
The station was silenced November
13 on allegations that the Methodist
pastor melted religious strife and
antagoniSm." His programs were termed
obnoxious to the listening public"
Through Louis G. Caldwell former
commission general counsel, Shuler ap-
pealed to the Court of Appeals Of the
District of Columbia on November 30,
raising the issue of freedom of speech
on the air A stay order was sought to
permit the station to return to the air
with it's 1000 watts power One-half
time The court. however denied the
petition the very next day after re-
ceiving an opposition statement from
the commission.
Because the Supreme Court only last
June decided the famous Minnesota gag
law case, involving freedom of speech
for newspapers, it is felt in legal circles
that the novel issues of freedom of
speech and religion on the air presented
in the Shuler case might be considered
by the high court at once.
Carries on Battle.
Meanwhile, DR.. Shuler is carrying on
his battle of free speech from his pulpit
and through certain newspapers in Los
Angeles. In a recent newspaper article
he declared that some of his people
wanted him to run for Congress. He
has been getting contributions of $4.77-
the cost of the collect" telegram from
the commission notifying him of KGEF' S
deletiOn-to help defray the expense of
his fight for freedom of the air." The
commission itself has received hundreds
OF communications on the Shuler case,
most of them from California, taking
up the battle in defense of the pastor
An appreCiable number also has in
dorsed the commissions action.
