Court's7ronsit Radio Opinions

Here are excerpts from the
Supreme Court opinion, 10ritten
BY Justice Burton, that radio
broadcasts on Capital Transit
Co. Dehicles are legal:
The principal question here is
whether, in the District of CO.
lumbia, the Constitution of the
United States precludes a street
railway company from receiving
and employing radio programs
through loudspeakers in its pas
senger vehicles under the cir
cumstances of this case. The
service and equipment of the
company are subject to regula-
ton by the Public Utilities Com
mission of the District of CO.

The commission, after an in
vestigation and public hearings
disclosing substantial grounds
for doing so, has concluded that
the radio service is not incon-
sistent with public convenience.

to improve the conditions under
which the public ride" We
hold that neither the operation
of the service nor the action Of
the commission permitting its
operation is precluded by the
Constitution.
In this proceeding the courts
are expressly restricted to the
facts found by the commission,
insofar as those findings do not
appear to be unreasonable, arbi-
trary or capricious.
Apart from the constitutional
issues, the order of the commits

His supporters included House

Opposition to the scent levy

Streetcars travelling to and from

said that those who ride the

in a practical sense they are
forced to ride, since this mode
Of transportation is today essen
tial for many thousands. Com
pulSion which comes from Cir
cumstances can be as real as

The streetcar audience is a cap

protest is against the invasion
Of his privacy over and beyond
the risks of travel.
The Government may use the
radio Cor television) on public
vehicles for many purposes. To-
day it may use it for a cultural
end. Tomorrow it may use it
for political purposes. So far
as the right of privacy is con-
cerned, the purpose makes no
difference.
When we force people to listen
to another's ideas, we give the
propaagndist a powerful weap-
on. Today it is a business en-
terprise working out a radio pro-
gram under the auspices of Gov
eminent. Tomorrow it may be
a dominant political or relig-
ious group. Today the purpose
is benign; there is no invidious
cast to the programs. But the
vice is inherent in the system.
Once privacy is invaded, privacy
is gone. Once a man is forced
to submit to one type of radio
program, he can be forced to
submit to another. 1t may be
but short step from a cultural
program to a political program.
If liberty is to flourish, Gov
ernment should never be allowed
to force people to listen to any
radio program. The right of
privacy should include the right
to pick and choose from COM
peting entertainments, compet-
ing propaganda. competing po-
litical PHILOSOPHERS. If people
are let alone in those choices,
the right of privacy will pay
dividends in character and in
tegrity.

Right of Privacy
Limited in Public

This position wrongly as

to the privacy to which he is
entitled in his own home. How
ever complete his right Of
privacy may be at home. it is
substantially limited by the
rights of others when its pos
SCISSOR travels on a public thor

This court expresses no opin-

plans to make a triumphal entry
into Barcelona harbor Thursday

flew into Barcelona airport. He
appeared tired from quick flight
back home-after already reach

death.
