Radio Propaganda
Broadcasfs FIayed
In Senate !earina

WASHINGTON. June u. (UP)-
Sen. D. Worth Clark, D., Ida, today
was on record criticizing radio COM
mentators and analysts who engage
in "Widely-bia editorial TRADES"
He said stations and networks
should precede programs with an
nouncementS specifying whether the
narrator is a radio eoiUorialist" or
an impartial news reporter
Clark'S statement was made dur
ing a senate interstate commerce
committee hearing on new federal
communications commission regu-
lations governing chain broadcast
ing. Chairman Burton K. Wheeler,
D., Mont and Sen. Charles w. To-
hey, R., N. H, endorsed his remarks.
Clark told Louis G.. Caldwell,
counsel for the Mutual Broadcast
ing System that several news COM
mentators do a "colorful and i'm
partial job but 75 per cent of them
are "out-and-out propagandists."
Caldwell agreed with Wheeler
that the solution might be a re-
quirement that opposite views on
political and foreign policy questions
be expressed by different speakers
on the same program.
Earlier Caldwell said that he did
not believe the new FEC rules
would kill the American system
of broadcasting." They would re-
strict exclusive contracts and would
prevent one company operating two
networks such as the NBC Red and
Blue networks.

THE youthful Scipio, who had
carried the war into Spain
now proposed to carry the war
into Africa and destroy Carthage

The patrieians opposed the plan

1t was too ventaresome.
But Scipio won his way.
Hannibal was compelled to re-
tire to Africa to defend his native
land. but lost to Scipio the conclu-
sive battle Of Zama even on his
own home grounds.
There are historians who claim
that the war was won by the
greater people rather than by the
greater general-just as the stt1b-
born English won the NapOleOnic
wars rather than did Wellington,
their general, who has never been
rated as great as Napoleon.
However. the mighty Roman
people were not doing 50 well
