Historian Defends Press
Entry Into Radio Field
Earlier Story on Page A-7.)


BY the Associated Press.
A noted historian told the Federal
Communications Commission today
that it was a natural development
for newspapers to enter the radio
field.
Testifying in connection with the
commissions investigation of news
paper-radio relationships. DR.. Frank
Luther Mott, director of the Uni
versity Of Iowa's school of journal
ism, opposed any prohibitions against
future acquisition of radio stations
by newspaper interests.
DR.. Mott, whose History of Amer
ican Magazines" was Pulitzer
Prize winner, carefully traced for
the commission the history of Amer
ican journalism, starting with Co.
lonial times, and concluded that
there had been a vast improvement.
Commissioner T. A. M. Craven. an
opponent of the investigation, asked
DR.. Mott whether he saw any danger
in the licensing of more radio sta
tions to newspapers.
mo, I DON'T" the witness replied.
Mr.. Craven then asked whether
prohibitions against newspapers op-
Grating radio stations would endan-
ger the freedom of the press, DR..
Mott replied that 1T certainly would
be a strong blow against the news
papers, economically and in the
matter of prestige
Asked whether he saw any dan
ger to the freedom of the press by
the licensing Of stations owned by
newspapers, DR.. Mott replied that
it was conceivable" that a news
paper, whose radio license was COM
ing up for renewal, might change
it's attitude on some governmental
question, but this certainly would
not be general"
