destroys freedom Of attention
which "is a part Of liberty essen
tial to individuals and to society. /"
Noting that Capital Transit op-
Grated on a franchise from Con-
gresS and that the company had
a virtual monopoly" the appeals
court said this made it necessary
to ride the vehicles in which Cap
ital Transit makes it necessary to
hear the broadcasts.
Arguments Heard March 3.
The PUG, Capital Transit and
Washington Transit Radio, Inc,
appealed to the Supreme Court.
The tribunal had the issue under
advisement since hearing oral
arguments March 8.
Advocates Of the broadcasts con-
tended that no genuine constitu-
tional point was involved in the
situation. They charged that the
appeals court decision "intruded
upon the legislation function" of
the PUG.
If any real constitutional argu-
ment was to prevail. they said, it
should be that the Constitution
guarantees freedom to commu-
nicate." They claimed that free
dom Of passengers to listen Is at
least as great as the freedom Of
passengers not to listen. They
complained that opposition to the
broadcasts came from compare
lively few people and relied mostly
on emotions rather than reason. "
Opponents said the broadcasts
whether commercials or music or
announcements, run contrary to
the Fifth Amendment by depriv-
ing ohjecting passengers of prop
erty-"the use Of their time and
attention." Of the "free use of
their faculties"
They also maintained that the
broadcasts violate the First
Amendment by forcing on passen-
gers speech which they do not
want to hear" and interfering
with their wish to talk or not to
talk.
The Supreme Court has had
two petitions under consideration.
One was the PUG. Capital Transit
request for reversal Of the appeals
court decision. The other was an
appeal by Mr.. Pollak and Mr..
Martin on the ground that the
appeals court should have ruled
against music as well as CONNER
