TOWNSEND PLAN
 BANNED BY RADIO
Action of Broadcasters May Yet Be Applied to
 Rev. C. E. Coughlin

Washington, Oct. 11.-(UP)-Dis- cussion of the Townsend old age pension plan on paid radio time wss banned today on member stations of the. National Association of Broadcasters.
 The Townsend plan, the NABs code compliance committee ruled, is a controversial issue". Hence, it said, discussions involving the plan would be in violation of the NAB's recently adopted rule banning broadcasts of controversial matter on paid time.
 The NAB previously announced that the question of neutrality re- vision is controversial and may not be discussed on paid broadcasts At the same time, NAB member sta tions, constituting 92 per cent of all radio outlets in the United States, pledged themselves to offer free time for discussion of the banned issues.
 The committees action has been interpreted as certain to hamper th1 radio activities of Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit radio priest who has been outspoken in his cri- ticism of the administrators neu- trality program.
