FEC Inquiry Asked
In 4-City V Switch

The Chronicle Publishing Co.
Iof San Francisco yesterday
asked the Federal Communica-
tions Commission to conduct a
full investigation of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co.'S pro-
posals to switch its ownership
of TV stations from Philadel-
phia and Washington to San
Francisco and Boston.
At tn same time the Chron-
icle ann Inced it is filing an
antitrust damage suit at San
Francisco in connection with
MICS plan to acquire San
Francisco Oakland Television
Station KTVU.
The publishing company,
owner of San Francisco Sta
tion KRON-TV, asserted NBC
arranged the KTVU purchase
after an unsuccessful attempt
to pressure" the Chronicle
into selling KRON-TV to the
network.
AS a result, the Chronicle
said, it now faces the loss of
the NBC network affiliation it
has had for more than 10 years.
The court action was directed
against NBC; its parent Radio
Corp. of America; San Fran
CISCO Oakland TeleviSion, Inc,
owner of KTVU, and RKO
General, Inc, a major figure
in the four-city station trans
action.
The suit asked that NBC be
enjoined from acquiring any
lTV station in the San Fran
cisco area and that all TV Ii
censeS held by the various de-
PENDANTS be revoked.
The Chronical told FEC the
proposed operating switches
by the network were accom-
pliShed by using MICS power
as a network to grant or with
hold network affiliation as the
hidden persuasion in each pur-
chase and sale negotiation. Z"
The commission was asked
to examine past antitrust
prosecution of NBC and RCA
before approving any of the
proposed transactions.

ment entered last year at

In order to carry out. the
Philadelphia decree, NBC is
proposing to swap the Phila-
delphia outlet for RKO Cen
erals Boston Station WNAC-
AM-TV and WRKO-FM, RKO
would also buy MICS WASH

TV. This would clear the way
for NBC to buy KTVU.
The Chronicle also asked
the FEC to determine if there
is any undisclosed relation
ship between RKO General and
KTVU and whether the trans
actions would put RKO Gen.
eral over the allowed limit for
T'V outlets.
The petition also asked for
an inquiry into the 1857 grant
OF Channel 2 to KTVU, when
some competing applicants
withdrew and later acquired

acter. But, he told the board,
this is not a rape case in a

acter would be an issue. He de-
clared that under these charges,
if a policeman had sexual rela-

he would still be guilty.

Patrick Henry, the great

but there is no peace. The
war is actually begun. The
next gale that sweeps from
the north will bring to our
ears the clash of reSOunding
arms. Our brethren are al
ways in the field. Why stand
we here idle? Is life so dear
or peace so sweet as to be
purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? Forbid
it Almighty God. I know not
what course others may take,
but as for me give me liberty
or give me death.
During these terrible days
of high racial tension Negroes
have many difficult decisions
to make. They must decide
whether they are going to
roll up their sleeves and
battle for their rights. They
must take action or be con-
tent with handouts grudgingly
bestowed.
We must learn to go all out
for our full and complete
rights. It will require great
sacrifice but it will be worth
the struggle. Some of our
people are so busy with
material things that they have
forgotten the suffering of our
race. They are too busy to
work to lift up all men to
their rightful place.
We must not be so int tereSted
in fancy clothes, dancing at
swanky clubs and driving
fancy cars that we forget the
second rate citizenship that
is kept over our men and
women.
Nearly hundred years ago
slavery was outlawed, these
other things that are keeping
us chained must be outlawed
too. We must not be content
with our condition, but we
must take courage and walk
forward with dignity.
