Radio Chain Denies
Arbitrarily Banning
Philip Murray Talk
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l3.-A
CIO official charged today that CIC
President Philip Murray had been
arbitrarily" ruled off the air last
night. but an executive of the Amer
ican Broadcasting Co. promptly
issued denial. The ABC network
and Station KGO had scheduled
the talk for pm. but before that
hour the station announced it would
not be heard.
Donald Henderson, international
president of the CIO Food, Tobacco
Agricultural and Allied Workers
Union, said: The ruling was made
one hour and a half before Mr.
Murray was to have spoken over
KGO in a program dealing with
a National Labor Relations Board
election involving 10000 California
cannery workers and their families
and thousands of fruit and vegetable
growers throughout the State"
General Interest Questioned.
Mr.. Henderson quoted Don Searle.
Western vice president of ABC, as
telling him less than an hour before
the scheduled broadcast that he did
not propose to inf1ict Philip Muir
ray on bay area listeners.
From Hollywood, M. Searle re-
leased this statement:
The statement is not true. It is
far from the truth and Henderson
knows it. Philip Murray is not the
issue. The issue is simply that the
NLRB ordered an election of the
cannery workers to decide whether
the CIO or AFL should act as the
bargaining agent.
"ABC felt that labor problem of
that kind within single industry
was not of sufficient direct interest
to the listening public to warrant
the broadcast"
Taking Case TO FEC.
Mr.. Henderson said the case was
being taken to the Federal Com
munications Commission in WASH
ington, to the courts and TO the
public.
Mr.. Murrays speech was read last
night over a San Frar cisco radio
station on program sponsored
nightly by the CIO. A representa-
tive of the station said it was un-
aware of the ABC ban at the time
Of its broadcast of Mr. Murray'S
statement.
The speech was on behalf of the
CIO Foou, Tobacco and Agricultural
Workers Union urging California
cannery workers TO vote for the
Eta in an NLRB election to be held
in the canneries at the end of this
month.

| Boat Rescues
| Blind Swimmer
| Swept to Sea
BY the kssoeioied Pres,

WEST DENNIS, Mass, Aug. 10
When the strong pull of a tide told
blind Helmar w. Schultz, 33, of
Charleston, w. Va, that he was
being swept to sea, his calmness
probably saved his life.
Mr.. Schultz was swimming with a
companion yesterday. His more
powerful strokes carried him ahead
and into the outbound tide. The
tide took him a mile to sea.
Realizing his plight, the blind
swimmer turned in several direc-
tions in an attempt to head for
shore and then calmly awaited
rescue
His companion had notified per-
sons ashore. Ted rockingham, a
boat yard operator, sped overland 2
miles with boat to point nearest
Mr.. Schultz.
When the craft reached him. Mr..
Schultz was too exhausted to get
aboard, but he was towed safely to
a landing.
