"Vox Popping" Amuses.

"Vox Pop" has taken radio row by
storm. It's the favorite indoor sport
these hot days in the broadcasting
citadels. Musicians, announcers, ac-
tors, engineers and production men
are constantly pulling the latest Vox
Pop query on their friends both in
the studios and out.
Jerry Belcher and Parks johnson
make the rounds of rehearsals in
Radio City every few days and try
out a few test questions. Whenever
they step into a studio a previous
victim always has a friend" that
he wants the sidewalk interviewers to
work on.
After they've gone everybody in
the studio has a new stock Of queries
to amaze family. friends and asso-
ciates at the first chance. "Vox
Popping" Is the name they apply to
the amusement, and rivalry Is de-
veloping to see who can improvise the
most perplexing questions to spring
on the original "Vox Peppers" them
selves. And If it's good enough. 1t
will probably turn up in one of their
Sunday broadcasts ever an N. B. G..
network at $50 pm.

to the United States Supreme Court
and counsel for KF'BI says it will be If
necessary-the first definite test OF
the F. c. C.'s authority to deprive
a station of it's license because Of
program content will be obtained.
The legal issues of freedom OF speech
and censorship will inevitably be
raised. Thus far, in four such cases
already tested in the courts, including
the 1880 Brinkley appeal, the Federal
Radio Commission was sustained
but in none of these cases would the
United States Supreme Court accept
writS of certiorari from the Court OF
Appeals of the District of Columbia.
AS matters stand now, the old
Radio Commissions right to eliminate
stations for Objectionable program
content has been upheld by the Ap-
pellate Court here. The question now
arises whether the F. C. C. will in
herit this authority or be curbed by
a still higher court. The lawyers
argue that refusals of the Supreme
Court to accept writs do not neces-
sarily imply agreement with the
lower courts. The issue still has to
be fought to a finish, and the Kansas
case may be the one to bring about
the finish fight.
Certain it is that the F. C. C.
would prefer to exert moral pressure
and perhaps the pressure of soaring
1oif hrr oif
them for hearings on their license
renewals when they broadcast al
legedly Objectionable material-rather
than go to the courts and establish
its authority to Scrutinize program
matter rather than merely regulate
the mechanical facilities of radio.
On the other hand, it can hardly
of the Kansas station contained In
the report of one of its own members.
Chairman Pran made it clear in
his recent address to the broadcast
ers' convention that the F. c. c.
doesn't want to put any station out
of business for an occasional lapse
If it otherwise was serving the public
interest. A few weeks earlier he and
his colleagues had abSolved 16 Of
the 81 stations cited for hearings
because they carried q certain ques-
tionable medical account, and it was
indicated rather clearly that the other
five were in no grave danger.
Even Commissioner Brown, who
also conducted q hearing In Los
Angeles last May on charges against
five stations in that vicinity for carry
ing an "electronic vibrator" adver-
tisement, claiming every kind of cure
all, recommended in another report
that all of the stations be restored
to grace because their general pro-
gram quality was otherwise good and
because they promised to be good
boys" in the future.
Commissioner Brown apparently
was prompted to object to relicensing
the Abilene station because he also
felt that there is already abundant
broadcast service in Abilene" even
without KFBI. In the cases of the
Los Angeles stations, several of which
were charged with failing to record
on their program logs the party afiili-
ations Of political speakers, he ap-
parently felt the circumstances were
more extenuating. The stations were
KFWB, KGFJ, KRKD and KIEV-
al lof which, he stated, quickly drop
ped the "electronic vibrator" advertis-
ing and all of which gave assurances
that they would not accept such mate
rial again.
