RADIO LIBEL RULE
CURDS SPEECHES
Many Stations Refuse Po.
litical Addresses Because
Of Court Decision.

EFUSAL Of the Supreme Court
- to review the decision Of the
Nebraska courts, holding broad
L y casting stations equally liable
with speakers for libel uttered
over their microphones, places all
broadcasting stations in a precarious
position In permitting use Of their
facilities by political speakers.
The Nations highest tribunal de-
clined this week to disturb the ruling
OF the Nebraska Supreme Court-the
only adjudication Of this important
subject recorded-on the ground that
II was . moot case and "non-Federal'
IN character. Broadcasters had hoped
for . reversal in view Of the large
number Of political speeches to be
made during 1884. . congressional
election year.
There are no other parallel radio
libel or SANDER cases now pending in
State or Federal courts which might
be appealed to the Supreme Court. The
Nebraska case was fostered by the Ma
tional Association Of Broadcasters.
which sought ruling In the interest
OF all stations.
No Censorship.
Broadcasters are in q quandary be-
states there can be no censorship of
political speeches made by candidates
for ONCE. Moreover, the radio law
makes 1t mandatory for stations to
allow all sides in political campaign
to use their facilities If they open their
microphones to any candidate or
spokesman for a candidate.
The Nebraska case grew out of the
1880 senatorial campaign, in which
former Attorney General G. A. Soren-
sen sued Station KFAB, Lincoln, Nebr..
and Richard F. Wood. a Lincoln at
torney, for alleged libelous statements
made over the station by the latter,
who spoke in behalf OF Sorensens op-
ponent. The lower court granted dam
ages OF 81 against Wood, but absolved
the station, whereas the former attor-
ney general had sued for 500 900 from
both. He appealed to the State Su-
preme Court and obtained a reversal
A settlement later was made.
Same As Paper.
The State Supreme Court held that
broadcasting station should be held
to the same strict liability for libel as
q newspaper. Since this ruling many
stations have refused to accept po-
litical speeches. Others have adopted
the procedure Of requiring speakers to
sign an agreement that they will not
utter libelous or slanderous statements,
and il they do. they will save the sta
ton harmless" from suit or Damage.
