ONE POINT OF VIEW
On Radio Censorship

THE Federal Radio Commission and it's recent
successor, the Federal Communications Com
mission, have chung to the position that as long as
they CO not IN advance prohibit or edit specific
broadcast material they are not violating the law
which expressly forbids all censorship of radio pro-
grams The real question is this: Is there as much
freedom from restraint in the use Of radio as in
the use OF the press, of the human voice in pub
lie? The answer is, No 1t (the commission) has
relied wholly on the vast power placed in its hands
by the maintenance OF Short-erm licenses-a power
not based the law which merely says that licenses
shall be for not more than three years--and wher-
ever it has disked stations programs it has threat
ened not the penalties of the law but the extra
legal pain of summary extinction. . The result

In reply to Mr. R, WIS article
of the 28th, 1 wish to state that
there are many others of the same
impression, due to lack of think
ing and consideration on their
part.
I have been driving buses on
the streets of indianapolis for
the Peoples Motor Coach Co. for
10 years, under all traffic condi-
tons, in all kinds of weather and
on dry, wet and icy streets from
eight TO nine hours a day, six days
a week, so think I should know
a little of this situation.
AS far as the company having
a number one job for this week:
Safety has been preached to us
until it hurts from away back.
A majority OF us drivers nave
at least five years experience
of everyday driving and handle
a vast number of the city'S pop
ulatiOn.
First, about the lanes of traffic:
There are only few streets in
Indianapolis that are wide enough
for two lanes of traffic such as
Delaware-st from 11th-st to 10Th
st, The driver would prefer to
us the inside lane because he has
access to the curb at all times.
and at the intersections any one
making a left turn is not likely to
hold him up. But for few con-
dltionS that exist he can use only
