statement that the future Of the
American press may be....vitally
affected by the current FEC in

I'VE are convinced" the state

not only being set aside for spe-
cial class treatment as owners of
radio stations, but that the whole
statue and operation OF newspap-
ers is affected.
vitality Important
This discrimination becomes
vitality important not merely be-
cause newspaper ownership is I'M
der Investigation. but because it is
obvious either that this investiga-
ton is. a fishing expedition without
point, or that something decisive is
intended"
"In the latter case, only two or
ders could result and either one
would be vitality damaging to news
papers and newspaper interests.
One of these would be a denial
outright to newspapers. or to GER
tain categories of newspapers, OF
the right to own radio facilities.
The other would impose special
conditions. different from condi-
tons imposed upon persons in
other lines of economic enterprise,
as a prerequisite to the holdings OF
a radio license.
Either rule would institute the
kind OF indirect'control over news
fpapers-which would become a real
threat to the independence Of the
press. By curbing and limiting the
outside economic activities OF
newspapers the way would be op-
ened for domination OF the publish
ing industry itself"
