father PLEADS
FOR JUSTICE
FROM PRESIDENT

NEW YORK. - In a letter whose
mood is that intermingled Indignation
and Illustration experienced by those
caught nthe dragon's-net of circum-
stances and the most unsurmountable
Ipowers of oppression, Morris M. Levy,
father of former Sgt. Alton Levy,
pleaded to President Roosevelt for an
Immediate review of his sons case
'and justice"
Alton Levy is the soldier who was
court-martialed at the Lincoln Ne
braska Air Base on alleged charges of
slandering the commanding general
and criticizing the treatment of negro
troops. Levys letter to the President
is unique in that it is the first time
in the history of the United States
that the father of white soldier has
written to the Chief Executive on be-
half of a son court-martialed on
charges pertaining to the race prob
| lem.
The full text of the letter is as
follows:
Reaffirms Faith in Constitution,
PRESIDENT and Congress
Dear Mr.. President:
''All of my life / have loved Amer
lea and the fundamental principles
upon which it was founded The free
dom of speech, of work, and of eco
nomic opportunity offered by our Con-
stitution seems to me to provide a
lasting hope-a light for humanity to
look toward. The name America and
the word freedom have become synon-
ymous to me, and | have striven to
impart this idea into my family and
my associates during my entire life
because, somehow, | felt that, indeed,
this is the land of the free, and all
men are created equal by God of one
flesh and one blood. My faith in
America has remained mistaken
through all difficulties because l have
strong confidence in the Constitution,
as / said before, and in your great |
courage, along with the help of the |
congress, to run America according to |
the dictates of our forefathers. How |

the publicly-owned ether, be-
come instruments for business
advertising" rshall they be-
come instruments for the pub
lie service?
Mark Woods, president of the Blue
Network Company, national radio
chain, answered the question and with
a clarity and candor which obviously
amazed members of the Commission.
1--WE are in the advertising bust
ness, generally, and the business is
the business of selling goods to the
American people" Woods testified at
one time. 1--WE are in the national
advertising business and selling time
specifically for the purpose of adver-
Using products" he reiterated later.
The case before the commission
was the application of the Blue Net
work Company to sell it's facilities to
the American Broadcasting System.
The commission was curious who the
American Broadcasting System was
and why Woods and his assistants
were becoming the managers of the
new System" as they had been of
the old. But the chief interest was in
the policies which controlled these
radio companies. Woods was en-
ployed many years ago by the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany He has been associated with
radio" since its earliest days. He
was not hesitant in expressing his
opinions and at no point did he ex-
press greater conviction than he did
when he insisted that he was in bet
ter position to measure the equitable
distribution of time" than were those
not associated with the operation of
radio company. Therefore, his dis
tribution of time" should be re-
spected.

quickly got to the important issue in
volved, the public interest" and the
case in point they raised was the re
fusal of the radio companies to sell
radio time to The, Cooperative
League of the USA. Fly and Durr
are the more able and the more indie
pendent members of the commission
Quite, generally they have been at

their representatives in congress
which would reject, totally, any argu-
ment that there was public inter
est" in radio and. that the radio sta
ton managers should be, as the law
intends them to be, merely Temporal
lily licensees subject to strict &C
counting.
Durr asked Woods why the radio
companies refused to sell time to "the
co-operatives" and Woods declared
the sale of time for any such purpose
was not permitted by the general rule
that time" could not be sold for the
presentation of causes, or to solicit
memberships. Durr inquired about
presentation of causes" and then
asked if Woods would sell time to the
Ford Motor Company and to "Mr.
Cameron" Woods hesitated and fl
nally got around to where he adj
mitted he would sell such time" be-
cause the presentation of causes by
Mr.. Cameron would be 'just coin
cidence."
Would he sell time to General Mo-
tors to present musical concert and
the cause of General Motors? He
would. Would he sell time to the
American Federation of Labor to pre-
sent musical concert and the cause
