Capital Transit Asks
High Court Ruling on
Radio Commercials

The Capital Transit Co. has
taken the first step to get the Su-
preme Court to decide whether
commercials on the bus and street.
car radios violate the constitu-
tional rights of passengers by
making them listen.
The transit firm filed a petit
ton yesterday asking the Supreme
Court to restrain the United States
Court of Appeals from enforcing
its ban on the commercials until
the higher court can hear the
case. The appeals court ruled
against the transit company last
June.
When finally decided, the Capt.
tai Transit case will effect the
status of transit radio all over the
country. At the last count, some
IA cities were reported to have
radio programs in public trans
portation vehicles.
PUG Joins in Petition.
The Public Utilities Commission
and the Washington Transit Ra-
dio, Inc, which sells the equip
ment and arranges for the broad
casts with WWDC-FM, Joined the
Capital Transit Co. in filing the
petition.
The appellate court decision
climaXed a two-year battle and
marked a winning round for a
group known as the Transit
Riders Association. This organiza-
tion filed the original suit in Dis
trict Court and appealed when the
case was thrown out of court. 1t
won the appeal.
A salty opinion by the appeals
court said the broadcastS invade
the constitutional rights of riders
and deprive objecting passengers
of liberty without due process of
law" The question of broadcast
ing music was not touched.
In the Supreme Court petition,
the transit company said the ap-
pellate court erred in holding that
the passengers are deprived of
liberty, in failing to hold that the
public has no constitutional right
to use the service of common
carrier in reviewing and vacating
the PUG order and in requiring
the PUG to conduct further
proceedings.
Question Called "NOvel."
The petition said the question of
whether there is a constitutionally
protected freedom from listening
is a novel question" of general
Importance which should be
settled by the Supreme Court.
| The company also made the
! following point:
Since a substantial part Of the
constitutionally protected in
formation disseminated by radio
and press is intermingled with,
and economically supported by.
commercial advertising, it is in
the public interest to settle the
question whether the Government
may constitutionally terminate
these media of mass communcia-
ton by holding commercial ad-

Allied Statement Raps
Russia as Instigator
|0f the Korean War
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Aug. An Allied
general headquarters statement
today ripped into Russia, accusing
the Soviets OF starting the Korean
war and of trying to weaken Red
China by bleeding her on the
battlefield.
An hour later the CHG civil
information and education Sec
ton. which issued the statement
tried to withhold publication. 1t
said the release was intended as
background information" for
editors and was not intended to
be printed.
BY then the statement had been
broadcast on radios overseas. 1t
was in print at least in the United
States. The withhold request was
Cancelled.
The release carried far more
voltage than usual Allied utter
ances.
1t declared the Communist sys-
tenn cannot survive" 1t referred
to the calculating, twisted intel
lects of the Communist leaders"
Free World on Guard.
1t said the free world was now
on guard and would not relax
when the Reds call off the ten
sion
1t was rumored here that the
release had the approval of 1t
Gen. Doyle o. Hickey. last OF
Gen. MacArthur's top hands still
on the job there. Gen. Hickey is
chief of staff to Gen. Matthew B
IRidgway. supreme U. N. COM
lmander.
Gen. Ridgway himself. in a
statement in June. made much OF
RusSia's failure to give more
military aid to Red China.
The statement today came at q
time when there is speculation
that Red China and the North
Korean Communists are on the
outs over the armistice and that
Red China wants to get out OF
the Korean war because Of heavy
losses.
Thought They Could Win.
At the outset, the statement OBJ
served that 1.-The calculating
twisted intellects Of the Com
munist leaders who thought up
the invasion of Korea reasoned
that no matter whether the wal
was long or short they would
win"
If they had a war that lasted
only a couple of weeks" the re-
lease continued, "they would lose
little and gain a whole country
But if the United Nations went to
the aid of Korea, they would
then proceed to drain away its
strength until finally the free
world would be so exhausted from
fighting this little war that the
Reds would step in and take over.
In conclusion the statement
said:
The Reds have been so busy
looking for cracks in the structure
of the democracies that they have
not noticed the perch they are
sitting on is swaying and slowly
crumbling. They have been so
hard at work undermining other
countries that they overlooked the
hollow shell of their own regime
They cannot survive, these Reds. u

All this information was duti-
fully transmitted to Supt. Gaff-

because of newspaper exposes and
bad publicity resulting from the

out to put the lid on. The gam
bling was throttled down.
The excuse given us IN many
hundreds of words for the exist

been going on at Saratoga Springs
for some time. True, the State
police were supposed to enforce
the law. But there was a policy"
it was explained, that the State
police enforce the law in rural
areas" not in cities that had
regularly organized police DEPART

One of the most damaging ad-
missions made by Supt. Gaffney.
it seemed to the committee, was
when we asked him:
Q. When you get to be the
superintendent of the State police,
you are supposed to have enough
savvy or understanding to leave
it (the gambling at Saratoga
alone, unless you are told to go
in: is that correct?
Gaffney: Well, probably, yes, it
has been policy over the years.
Behind the situation, of course,
was the complacence of the Sara
toga Springs Police Department
OF % men. We interrogated an in
credible local police chief, Patrick
paddy RoX, who admitted that
he augmented his police earnings
by collecting $40 a night for TAX
ing money from the bank to the
Saratoga raceway.
Walter F. Ahearn, the Saratoga
detective supposedly in charge Of
SuppreSSing gambling in the resort
town, confessed that he. too, sup
plemented his pay-by $120 q

and gambling loot between two
casinos and the local bank every
night.
