BIG QUESTION

Sooner or later it must be decided whether the constitutional guarantee of free speech applies to the radio The question raises a dilemma scarcely fore seen by the authors of the Bill of Rights One horn of the dilemma that radio is public utility en- gagged in interstate commerce and subject to Fed eral regulation The other horn is that this power of regulation can easily be employed by the Government in it's own interest Speaking before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce last month, MT Niles Tramme President of the National Broadcast ing Company. expressed fear that broadcasting might become a Federal monopoly without Govern ment owning a single share of stock in a radio station or having single representative in corporate management" He asked that the EGG be prevented by law from exercising any control over radio pro- grams He also asked for various other reviSons of the Communications Act which would tend to dim finish restrict the licensing power of the commission
 What it all seems to boil down to do is the ques- tion Of whether radio is to continue on its present basis as commercial enterprise deriving its main uuasi-offical status like the BEG. It seems to us that there is hardly any question that the radio, whether in public private hands, is monopolistic institution and can hardly be otherwise The number of radio stations or chains that be operated simultaneously is limited by physical laws Again, by it's nature, the radio it to lends itself more readily propaganda than to the free full and open
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-01-21

discussion of all subjects In the last analysis radio propaganda will be favor of whoever pays the cost
 There are certain questions concerning which the commercial radio makes no pretense of offering both sides So far can observe, for example, the plugs in favor of the consumption of beer and of cigarettes cigars and pipe tobacco are not offset by any comparable amount of time for rebuttal granted to the WCTU or to the Anti-Ncotine League. We not you must understand complaining about this but merely pointing out that as long as radio remains
 commercial enterprise the greater part of the broad casting time will be devoted to onesded propaganda promote the sale of various manufactured products
 MT Trammell says that Government control of radio is pistol aimed at the heart of all our demo- cratic freedom" If by this he that sales because easily identified such is much less dangerous than political propaganda we should be inclined agree Of course, commercial radio also means that great many of the programs will be puerilc, vulgar downright idotic since they are chosen on the assumption that the volume of sales for the sponsors product will be in direct ratio to the number of listeners. Here have another n- stance of the operation of Gresham's law in modern society; the bad stuff driving the good off the air, or at any rate severely restricting it. MT Trammell, however is evidently bit touchy this point. He speaks rather bitterly of those who try to dsparge the daytime serials by giving them the opprobrious of soap operas and say that three psycharists have studied the soap operas and approved them.
 Still whatever it's banalities the commercial radio seems the lesser evil, and it's has been siderably strengthened by the asinine line of tabus attributed to the BEG. Moreover, it is not to listen to the radio; but, under Government control there is telling when it might become so

the American fl.ers have been saved and are now getting back into the Pacific theatre as veterans.
 American practice is to send men into combat theatres for three or four exposures, then bring them back to the States for a rest. Since U. s. plane losses have been less than Jap losses, and since U. s, pilots have been saved in high percentage of cases where planes have been lost. the American fly ing force is now basically a vet eran force

ment accounts. He was equally tough in defense of a small farmer recently when he ruled that the Government must pay to J. I. Bran non of Allen, Okla, the sum of $l0 for the service rendered by his jack to an iron grey mare owned by a Farm Security Administration deb- tor
 The Government strongly con- tended that it owed the jack owner nothing, since the FSA client had given it a chattel mortgage on all Of his property and all that might be after acquired. The client de- faulted and the FSA closed out his property
 Brannon, the jack owner, carried his case to the Comptroller General, who decided with him on the grounds that the Oklahoma stat utes provide for a breeding lien upon the colt and that it was, there- fore, paramount to the chattel mortgage held by the FSA. The Comptroller General held that the claimant farmer, Brannon. had a lien upon the colt from the very beginning of it's existence.

True to Type
Washington Post

The announcement that the Library of Congress has purchased what are left of Frederic William Goudys type drawings and master matrices along with his vast collection of proofs and books, is forting, if somewhat belated public recognition of great American artist Goudy's is known to printers and book collectors everywhere in the world Some of the type faces he has originated familiar and beautiful Caslon Old Style, Ciaramond Bodoni or Jenson. Nevertheless he has been repaid he said himself in a bitter moment, mostly in acclaim To make his situation worse it is just about five years since the disastrous fire which destroyed Goudy's studio and foundry at Marlborough on Hudson. In that fire lost most of his original designs and matrices well his most cherished possession, the press that William Morris had used for the Kelmscott Chaucer
 In age in which printing has become like almost everything else an industry, Goudy chief among that small group of designers and typographers which have helped to keep alive the ancient creative tradition of the craft Their patronage such it was, mostly from advertisers but their influence has been felt throughout the whole trade and though perhaps unconsciousy, by the general public If books magazines and printed material today reflect greater degree of topographic taste and egbity than they did say at the turn of the century, it is due chiefly to the work of such men Goudy and his wife, the late Bertha Goudy; Bruce Rogers and Norman Munder, and others.

OIL MEN ON SUBSIDIES

Economic Stabilizer Judge Vinson recently held revealing session with a group of Midwestern oil men which got right down to the heart of the subsidy question
 The oil men were headed by Reid Brazell of Leonard Refinery, Inc, Alma, Michigan; Gerand Day of Western Petroleum Refiners Assoc iation, Tulsa, Oklahoma Barney Majewski of Deep Rock Oil Com pany, Chicago; and several others. They told how Midwest oil had been taken away from Illinois, Nebraska, Ohio, Kentucky. and other Mid western States in order to give more oil to the East. And they asked that the Midwest be allotted more crude oil from West Texas
 West Texas is easily able to supply more crude oil to Midwest refineries, and these refineries want about T5,000 barrels more per day. Furthermore, Judge Vinson feels that they need it. The visiting oil men told how oil reserves were being used up to such an extent that Midwest farmers would not have enough gasoline to run their tractors for spring blowing.
 However, there was one big hitch. The cost of transporting crude oil from West Texas by rail Cpipelines are crowded would run about 90 cents q barrel above normal. Sc the Midwest refiners wanted the Government to pay the extra charge
 What We want is a compensa- tory payment of war-induced cost" they explained
 s'What?" asked Judge Vinson. the champion of subsidies. "A compen- satory payment of a war induced cost? Well, will you explain to mt

the difference between that and a subsidy"
 The oil refiners grinned, argued little. but finally admitted that there was no difference.
 Tn other words" said Vinson, "a subsidy by any other name would smell as sweet. And you are against subsidies unless it's a good sub sidy."
 NOTE The Midwest refiners probably will get their transporta- tion subsidy, especially as oil com panies shipping to the East Coast by rail instead of tanker get sub sidy from the Government of around a million dollars a day.

porches and pavements, for house
holders and store proprietors to
clean up. Few streets escaped, but
Main Street was particularly dirty
and many store owners brought
out their garden hose to wash the
filth away. Monday several boys
were apprehended and made to ap-
pear before police for questioning
and the police believe they have
the guilty parties. At the barber

ject was my Profession" Rev.
Thomas said that John the Baptist
was a great biblical character from
whom he drew many valuable les
sons. The profession gives room
for service and counsel and no
room for weakness. To administer
to, and carry the burdens of peo-
pie requires character and an ln-
derstanding mind and heart, and
the human relations as expressed
in a parish church gives man of
the profession chance to observe
all classes of humanity. Rev.
Thomas was former member of
the local club. Elmer P. Corrie re-
sponded and the club gave their
former member rising vote of
thanks. Harry o. Bostick, presi-
dent of the club, presided. Harvey
