hearings opening at II a. m. (EDT)
 Two members of the commission, Norman s. Case and T. A. M. C.a- ven, expressed opposition to consid- eration of any rule which would dis tinguish between newspaper and non newspaper applicants for licenses.
 Fair inquiry into the relations of newspapers to radio must take into account that newspapers have fought long battle for the printing of news without color, angle or bias which newspapers have carried into radio" said Harold Hough, of the Ft. Worth, Tex, Star Telegram.
 Instead of newspapers developing some unfitness for radio station ownership, as the EGG issue appears to indicate, newspapers are peculiar ly fit to own stations" he contended in statement.
 News Must Be Printed
 Every newspaperman knows the long battle waged in newsrooms and by editors to make those outside of newspapers offices understand that facts must be presented in the news as they are, and that the news must be printed because 1t is news, re- gardless of ulterior considerations" "
 Hough said that newspapermen have developed and for the most part are doing newscasting over the radio. "A newspaper tradition of fair reporting prevails here to the great advantage of radio" he said.
 Others To Attend
 Others who have notified the com- mission that they will appear in op- position to the formulation of a new policy on newspaper ownership of radio stations include:
 Thomas D. Thatcher, general counsel for the Newspaper Radio committee; Paul D. P. Spearman, attorney for the American Network, Inc; Philip G. Louchs and John Shepard, 3rd, for FM Broadcasting, Inc; Louis c. Caldwell, attorney for WGN Inc, (Chicago Tribune) {; George o. Sutton, representing Hil- dreth & Rogers O., newspaper op- orators of station WLAW at Law renee, Mass, and attorneys for the Oregonian Publishing O., operators of station KGW and KEX at Port land Ore.
 Hough heads a committee of nine publishers who own radio stations. The other members, most of whom are here for the hearing, include Walter J. Damn, vice. chairman, Milwaukee Journal, Milwaukee Wis.

The commission received a pro- pest from Elisha Hanson, general pounsel of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, that it was Fithout constitutional or statutory authority to formulate any such policy, but commissioners said the bearing would proceed as scheduled.
 A statement from the office of FCC Chairman James L. Fly said the hearing would be conducted with the objective or determining Rhether or not joint control of newspapers and radio broadcasting ktations tends to result in an irn- Pairment of radio service under the Ftandard of public interest, con- Eeniences and necessity.
 Seek Bases For Future
 "The purpose of the hearings and Ehe investigation is to obtain for The commission sufficient informa- kion so that 1t will have rational basis for the determination of future cases"
 The newspaper-radio committee, representing newspapers which own fadio stations, contended in a state- hent that "the future of the Ameri- ban press may be .. vitally af- Iected by the current EGG investi- kation."
 We are convinced" the statement laid, "that newspapers are not only being set aside for special class lreatrnent as owners of radio sta- lions, but. that the whole status and operation of newspapers is affected.
 This discrimination becomes vii lally important not merely because newspaper ownership is under in- kestigation, but because it is obvious. lither that this investigation is a Eshing expedition without point, or lhat something decisive is intended" Either Would Hurt
 Tn the latter case, only two orders kould result and either one would be vitally damaging to newspapers knd newspaper interests.
 "One of these would be a denial outright to newspapers, or to certain fategories of newspapers, of the 4 light to own radio facilities. The other would impose special condi- ions, different from conditions im- posed upon persons in other lines of economic enterprise, as Q prerequis- |te to the holding of radio license.
 Either rule would institute the kind of indirect control over news papers which would becoms a real threat to tho independence of the press. By clirbing and limiting the outside economic activities of news papers the way would be opened for domination of the publishing irSdus- try itself"
