Liberals and Authorituriuns

pressed as far back as the
Hoover administration by the
legalistS who felt that the
granting of a Government
facility gives the Government
the right to determine the
use Of that facility. This con-
cept has been upheld by a
ruling Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States. But
this very decision, which was
dissented from by highly
respected justices, really ig-
nored the constitutional prin-
ciple of a free press and free
speech.
The writer all through the
1920s argued against the doc
trine that the ALLEGATION of a
radio license gave a govern
mental commission the right
to tell a station what pro-
grams it should or should not
broadcast. There is, of course,
every reason why the Gov
ernment should deny a Ii
cense to any station that
refuses to abandon mislead-
ing advertising or which en-
cages in obscene shows, but
these are the same restraints
which the Federal Trade
Commission or the postal
authorities may impose on
the press.
To say that the Govern
ment should pass judgment
on the quality of radio or
television programs is to say
that the Government should
issue postal privileges only to
the newspapers whose edi-
torials measure up to a
standard set by a govern
mental agency. This is the
road to authoritarianism. All
true liberals will vigorously
oppose any interference with
the right of a broadcasting
or television company to pre-
sent whatever 1t pleases on
the air. provided it doesn't
offend the laws against libel
or obscenity.
1t is fundamentally wrong,
moreover. for Congress to in
sist on equal time for political
candidates. The public alone
should be the judge of
whether the television or
radio stations or the press
are presenting balanced pro-
grams or news reports. And
it is the public, not the
Government, which in the
final analysis should decide
whether it likes what it hears
or what it sees or what it
reads. That's true liberalism.

DAVID LAWRENCE

There are two schools Of
thought nowadays in public
affairs-those who want the
Government to take charge
Of everything, and those who
want to see the individual
freed from unnecessary re-
straints and restrictions so he
can develop his ideas and his
enterprises.
The subject is pertinent to-
day because one group advo-
Gates that the Government
shall take complete charge
of radio and television, and
the other argues that this
would be the worst thing
that could happen to free
dom of communication.
Which one of the two
groups might be claSSed as
liberal and which one could
be described as authoritarian?
To get an answer, the
writer consulted Webster's
New World Dictionary and
found this:
i. An authoritarian Is one
who believes in or advocates
"unquestioning obedience to
authority rather than in
dividual freedom of judgment
and action"
q A liberal favors "politi-
cal reforms tending toward
democracy and personal free
dom for the individual"
Just who, therefore, are
the true liberals in the con-
troversy going on these days
over what should be done
about regulating television
and radio? Even such an
organization as one which
calls itself THE American
Civil Liberties Union" seems
to have deviated from the
liberal faith as it declares
that the Federal Communi-
cations Commission should
energetically exercise it's
power to require the radio
television industry to provide
the maximum possible range
and balance in subject mat
ter and treatment in its over
all programming."

of the Columbia Broadcast
ing System, called for a

ed television medium" He

AMMAN, Jordan, Mar. 4
tAP) "A United States skim

Of ruins at the bottom Of the
Dead Sea.
The four-member team Of
amateur archaeologists headed
by DR.. Ralph E. Baney of Kan
sas City began charting the
sea bottom near Khirbet Qum-
ran four days ago.
DR.. Baney, a Baptist minister

The most famous of the
cities, which existed 1000 years
ago, are Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Bible says they were razed
by heaven-sent fire for the
wickedness of their inhabitants.
Three other cities vanished in
the same area-Zeboiim, Zoar
and Admah.
DR.. Baney is executive direc-

Free 6-Yeur Term for Neuberqer?

Neuberger aides believe it
would be hard for any rea-
sonably liberal Republican to
mount a campaign against
Senator Neuberger on the is
sues. No other kind of can
didate, they are sure, could
even come close to defeating
him.
Among Senator Neuber-
gers campaign weapons is a
letter of appreciation from
Secretary of State Herter for
the Senator's help with the
Eisenhower foreign policy,
This is the sort of thing
that arouses Senator Morse's
ire, as the President is prob
ably the biggest Of the many
Morse hates.
Gov. Hatfield has until to-
day to change his mind about
1860. Republicans here know
Of no pressure on him to
change it. They do see that
the young Governor has been
disappointed in his hope of
giving a geographical balance
to a national ticket this year
headed by Gov. Rockefeller
of New York. The two Gov
ernors have much in COM
mon, including the fact that
their victories were about the
only Republican solace for
the 1858 election.
There seems to be no pros

Washington has been
startled to hear that the
sleeper of the 1854 campaign,
Senator Neuberger of oregon.
may get virtually a free pass
for another six-year term.
He came up from behind
to trounce the veteran in
cumbent, Guy Gordon. and
become the States first
elected Democratic Senator
in 40 years. He has now filed
for reelection and so far
faces only opposition that
Republican strategists here

There is one "if" in the
picture Gov. Mark Hatfield

himself and decide to give
Senator Neuberger a race.
But the Governor has said
he intends to run for re-
election in 1862, and he has
personally told a Democratic
Senator from another West
ern State he would not run
against Senator Neuberger.
In 1862 Senator Morse, the

On the day the filibuSter

United States Supreme
Court unanimously overruled
a Georgia district court in
case charging discrimination
by State registrars. The de-
cision. based on the unequiv-

It is a fact unpleasant to

to live under the laws of our

understand that in any case
where the State law conflicts
with the Federal, the national

that there are counties in
which it is neither wise nor
healthful to make protests
cannot be denied.
Nor is this all. In the Deep
South there have been State

there was no case before

openly declaring that they.
as State judges, would ignore
the United States decision.
Some of these judges have
spoken from the bench in in
flammatory terms, in assail-
ing the Federal courts.
Presumably they do so to
strengthen their local politi-
cal fences. But that they
also thereby depreciate and
cheaper State law, do dam
age to the prestige Of State

delegation is unacceptable.
The Senators supporting

not overlooked these Incl

those Southern Senators in

they privately and ruefully

few in number and are allo-
Gated by the Government,
this is a monopoly. DR.. STAN
ton answers that there is no
more reason why television
should be regulated as to its
content than newspapers
should be. The argument is
made in reply that anybody
can buy a printing press and
start a newspaper but no
body can get a television
channel unless it is given up
by a company already hold
ing one.
But is this an accurate
analogy? Must the Govern
ment undertake to balance
the disparities in business or
the professions? 1t so hap
pens that in about 95 per
cent of the cities of the
United States there is only
one newspaper ownership. Is
it the duty of the Govern
ment to provide competitors
to balance in each commu-
nifty the viewpoint Of the
existing publication? Ger
tainly, with the rising costs
Of newsprint and labor and
the limited advertising mar
ket available in a given
community. it wouldn't be
possible as a rule to start a
competing paper unless the
Government were to put up
the funds.
Is the continued existence
Of one-paper cities some
thing that troubles the au-
thoritarian who really may
think he favors balancing the
situation but who would have
to concede that, the moment
the Government starts to
control what Is said, this
could be politically one
sided?
When the Government tells
the broadcasting stations
what programs they must
put on their channels to
justify retention Of their
licenses. the end result is
bound to be authoritarian
ism. 1t certainly can't be
called liberalism.
The viewpoint which holds
that, because the Government
allocates radio or television
channels, it has the right to
say what shall be done over
the air waves by each licen-
see is not of recent origin.
Unfortunately, it was ex-
