political propaganda campaign? Or families
like the DuPonts and Pews who contributed
$1S6,000 and S10S000 respectively to the 1910

Then, too, the public should be interested
In knowing how much big business interests
like the Hearst press, the Chicago Tribune
and other reactionary publishing corpora
tons are spending in their daily propaganda
campaign against Pres. Roosevelt and pro-
gressive members Of Congress.
And how about investigating the large sums
spent by business interests for anti-adminis-
tration political propaganda through common
tators like Fulton Lewis and other radio
programs?
A full, fair and complete investigation might
lead even further afield in many directions.
1t would reveal that the workers pennies
pooled for political education and action are
mere drop in the bucket compared to the
many millions spent by wealthy minority
interests to influence election results
The CLIO has no fear of such an investigation.
We wonder If the anti-labor, anti-administra-

Let's Investigate, BY All Means
HiSL3

Chairman Sidney Hillman of the CLIO Politi-
cal Action Committee laid all his cards on the
table when he appeared before the Senate
Committee to Investigate Campaign Expen-
ditures.
He answered all questions fully and frankly.
He offered to supply the committee with all
available records and information.
But at the same time he wanted to know
why there should be all this concentration on
investigating the limited expenditures of or
gained working people, rather than the huge
amounts spent by corporate interests and their
agencies.
eff there Is to be an investigation" Hill
man said, "let 1t be full, fair and complete.
Let it include not only the activities of labor
but the less publicized, the more obscure
efforts of some of the representatives of big
business and high finance"
For instance, how about Frank Gannett's
Committee for Constitutional Government,
which few years ago refused to submit any
of its records to a Senate committee, but
which boasts that It distributed over &c million
pieces of literature and spent more than
100000 in 1913?
Or how about the Natl. Industrial Informal

Vanishing Freedom Of the Air

The suspension of labor's only regular ma
tional radio program, the Labor for Victory
series over the National Broadcasting Com
pany's network raises a number of disturbing
questions to which the CLIO would like to know
the answers.
The NBC has been the only network to grant
the millions Of organized working people as
much as this 15-mnute weekly program shared
by both CLIO and AFL. and we have repeatedly
expressed our appreciation of this public
service.
But even this brief offset to business
monopoly Of the air waves Is now ut an end,
and labor Is left without any regular radio
channel to bring It's message to the Ameri-
can public.
1t is particularly disturbing that this action
should be taken at the beginning of a national
election campaign, on the apparent grounds
that any labor program during this period
would be political"
Labor Is already Disseminated against under
the code Of the Natl. Assn Of Broadcasters on
the ground that any program It broadcasts IL
controversial" It Is supposed to receive occa-
sional free time on this account, at the within
of radio companies.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-06-19

But IL labor programs having no direct
connection with elections are to be consid-
cred political" as well as Controversial"
this means that even free time will not he
granted for them-leaving labor only the
right to buy time at the higher political
rates for an occasional campaign speech.
Even when free time has been granted in
the past, on the ground that labor program
is controversial" and so not entitled to paid
time, there has been an increasing tendency
by some radio companies to object to program
content on the very ground that 1t is con-
troversial"i
Repeated objections have also been made to
labor programs which are dramatic in char
acter, using actors, music, etc., to attract radio
listeners who will not listen to a straight
speech.
While labor has been more and more re-
stricted in It's freedom Of speech over the air,
big business interests have suffered no SINH
lar restrictions.
They are free to sponsor commentators
who daily propagandize against labor,
against the administration and against pro-
gressive political policies, and to use all the
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-06-19

About the only regal recourse
labor has at present against all
these Determinations is to appeal
to the Federal Communication
Commission against renewal of IL
censes to stations that practice
them, on the ground such stations
are not operated Gin the public
interest"
This the CLIO IL doing In the
case Of Station WHKC and may
do In other cases, to direct public
attention and indignation against
the radio industry's present de-
mails Of free speech to labor.

arts Of dramatization and enter
tainment ON their programs.
The case Of the UAW-CIO
against Station WHKC in Column
bus illustrates the prevailing de-
NAL of free speech to labor. The
union was forbidden to solicit new
members on Its program, to dis
cuss any controversial issue, or to
discuss race, religion or politics
this on a station that granted full
free speech to Col. Mccormick of
the Chicago Tribune, Fulton Lewis,
Boake Carter and other reaction
airy propaganda.

Is contrary to the spirit and In

Maybe one Of you gentlemen
could divide 100000 by FIVE mill

dough replied. "As an individual
I'm allowed to contribute $1,000"
"And your wife too, presume

"Then you must be spending
much more than $1,000 to influence
the elections. Certainly more than

average CLIO member has con-
tributed to CPAC."

Senator Stooge perked up. "Per-

telling where they'll lead these

low heckle US? Who are you any
how? And who are the criminals
you were going to find?"

Joined them unannounced. Without

for the criminal, are you sure Of
the nature Of the crime and the

There Is one piece of evidence
