InaSmuch as Wendell W1llk1e

That is to say, both of them are
obsessed by the belief that the Fed

Both of these gentlemen have sue

hat the Thirteen Original States
formed the Federal Government and
hat about sixteen States finished the
Constitution. The States merged in

Government and plainly and emphat-

States and local communities.
The chain of authority was bro

a Free Radio Is Vital

For a better reason, radio has be-
come an essential source of public in
formation and ii must have a FREE
VOICE if it is 20 be utilized for the
benefit of the people-otherwise, it
will instantly and completely become
vehicle of propaganda.
AS Mr. Carey observes, there is
no free radio in any of the nations
ruled by relationships, and "unless
this dangerous man is stopped and
STOPPED NOW there may be none
in America"
Congress should surely go more
thoroughly into this situation than it
has gone so far.
The Federal Communication
Commission is federal agency ere.
ated by Congress, and its operations
should be confined to the purposes
designated by Congress and for
which specific powers were granted
by Congress.
IT WAS certainly not an intention
L. of Congress that a free radio
should be abolished in the United
States.
1t was not intended by Congress
that the New Deal administration, or
any administration or any agency of
government, should turn the Ameri-
can radio system into a mechanical
Charlie Mccarthy for the political
advantage of the regime in power.
Let Congress have an investiga-
ton of the Federal Communications
Commission that will be, not
embarrassing affair."" but an hon
est and thorough airing of the facts.
1t is only through public knowl-
edge of these facts that the freedom
of the radio can be preserved.
And it is only through the assur-
ance of freedom to the radio, the
press and all channels of public infor-
nation and expression that the
FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE can
be preserved.

EUGENE L. CAREY, who recently
IL resigned as counsel to the con-
gressional committee investigating
the Federal Communications Com
mission, has publicly announced the
reason for his retirement.
In an address before the Kiwanis
Club of New York City, Mr.. Carey
reported that Chairman James l.. Fly
of the commission has adopted hos
tile attitude toward the investigation,
with the result that
"He has stymied the staff in its
work and concerted the investigation
into a sheer DhiterOashing affair"
Nevertheless, Mr.. Carey believes
the investigation should continue;
or rather, that an effective investiga-
tion should be made.
He bluntly charged that Chair
man Fly is operating the Federal
Communications Commission as San
arm of the administration, to
SMASH AND SUBDUE FREE.
DOM AND INDEPENDENCE in

Moreover, he asserted:
"The chairman of the Federal
Communications Commission, one
James Laurence Fly. is operating
the commission unchecked and un-
restrained by his fellotO commits
sioners-in other words, the commits
sion is a ONE MAN commission"
These are serious charges, and
they should be investigated without
interference by Chairman Fly, and
without regard for the hostility
evidenced by him.
A FREE radio is of vital impor-
"A lance to the American people
for several compelling reasons.
For one reason, the radio industry
is part of the American system of
