CControIs
Are Debated

NEW YORK. Dec. 81 (AP).-
A former member of the Fed
eral Communications Commits
sion says there is a growing
need for more control Of major
broadcaSting networks. A cur
rent member Of the FEC dis
agreed.
James Lawrence Fly, now a
New York attorney, said the
networks dominate the broad
casting field. He added:
For decades, the networks
have done exactly as they
wanted to, except in rare in
stances. He said the broad
casting industry has enormous
political influence.
Failures" Hit
Every station affiliated with
a network or that owned by a
local newspaper would get in
touch with its Congressman"
Mr.. Fly said. Right down to
the grass roots they have tre-.
mendous political influence
Mr.. Fly and another ex-FCC
Clifford j. Durr. now
a Montgomery tAla.) attorney,
criticized the FEC for what
they called its failures to in
sure that commercial broad
casters operate in the public
interest.
Their views were expressed
during discussions which form
the basis of a report released
yesterday by the Fund for the
Republics Center for the Study
of Democratic Institutions, at
Santa Barbara, Calf. The re-
port is part of a study of mass
media under way at the center.
RoSel Hyde, a current FEC |
disagreed with Mr..
Fly and Mr.. Durr in the dis
cussion. He said the public ex-
poets more from the commits
sion that it is authorized to do.
Traffic Cops"
Mr.. Durr said the FEC does
not effectively check stations
to make sure they keep the
they made when ap-
plying for licenses.
The man who gets the sta
ton is often the man who is
to stretch the truth
the farthest, Mr.. Durr said.
Mr.. Fly said the FEC sees
its role merely as AN electronic
traffic cop" that allocates
