t OF a letter from Attorney
Eisenhower tDhtch accom-
practices in broGdcdSting:
and what part of the radio
spectrum he could use.
The Communications Act Of
1894, which provides the statu-
tory authority for regulation Of
the broadcast industry by the
ECC, is based in part upon
this theory. However, it is well
established that the role Of
Federal regulation is not linz
tied to that of "a traffic police
man in the ether"
The privilege of broadcasting
to the public is not available to
all who desire it. To authorized
broadcaSters the license issued
by the FEC is of substantial
economic value. In granting
this privilege the Government
is entitled, as former President
Herbert Hoover put it, to compel
the applicant TO prove that
there is something more than
naked commercial selflshness in
his purpose"
Accordingly, the Communica-
tons Act provides that broad
cast licenses may only be issued
for maximum periods of three
years, subject to renewal. Both
the original grant and the re-
newal are made contingent
upon a finding that "the public
interest. convenience, and nee
essity would be served thereby. "
In effect, each broadcsster
enters into an agreement with
the Government to serve the
public interest in return for
the valuable privilege he is
granted. He becomes "a 'trus-
tee for the public" and has a
non-delegable duty to serve the
public, Matter broadcast, in
cluding advertising matter, is
the essence Of that service.

authority give consideration to
taking the following steps:
l. Require broadcast licensees
to take appropriate measures
(more fully described in the
report) so that contests which
they broadcast as honest tests
of skill or knowledge are pro-
duced under circumstances
which provide reason a BILE
guarantees that a program is
what it purports to be.
2. Require broadcast licensees
to take steps to prevent the
broadcasting of matter in re-
turn for payments or promises
OF money or other valuable
consideration to employees of
the licensees without an ap-
propriate sponsorship an
nouncement and provide that
information be submitted to
the FEC at regular intervals as
to the steps each licensee has
taken to effectuate this re-
quirement.
8. Require the filing periodi-
cally with the FEC by broad.
casting licensees, and those of
their employees who determine
the content of any broadcast
program, Of reports of fnan-
cial interests owned by them in
any business enterprise, If any
of the licensees programs
(apart from those accompanied
by an appropriate announce
ment Of commercial sponsor
ship is intended TO enhance,
or has been used to enhance,
the sale Of any product of the
enterprise. This practice would
be consistent with the financial
reporting requirements imposed
in the public interest by such
statutes as the Securities and
Exchange Act, the recent Labor
Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act of 1859, and the
Defense Production Act.
4. Adopt a program of more
intensive scrutiny of broad
cast Licensees practices be-
fore license renewals are
granted. Such scrutiny should
include a comparison of the
licensees performances with
the promises as to program
ming which they made at
the time their licenses were
granted or last renewed. and
also regular spot checks in
depth each year Gust as the
Internal Revenue Service
spot checks individual tax
returns) of the renewal ap-
plications of a number of
licensees or of the licensees
in a particular community.

such action by the employe a
Federal crime.
Second, as q practical mat
ter, the one sanction expressly
conferred by statute upon. the
Federal Communications Com
mission for use against a broad
cast icenSee who fails to op-
crate in the public interest is
to withdraw his broadcastine
license permanently-a sane
ton so severe that it has been
imposed only rarely. The Fed
eral Communications Commits
sion should be expressly au-
thorized also to impose less
severe sanctions for actions
violating the Communications
Act or regulations issued pur-
suant to it. Such sanctions,
for example. could include tenn
porary suspension or condi-
tional licenses.
In q sense, the spectacle of
corruption in the broadcast in
dustry presents a larger issue
which is beyond the area of
legislation or law enforcement.
Our system Of government pre-
serves to each individual the
widest latitude of personal
freedom. But as Clemenceau
once said: Freedom is nothing
in the world but an opportunity
for self-discpline." In these
times Of ferment, when the peo-
pies Of the free world look to
the United States for respon-
sible leadership, we can i'll af-
ford any relaxation of the high
ethical and moral standards
which have kept our Nation
free and strong.

Essential Difference

The broadcast industry diff
fers in an essential respect
from other media of communi-
cations. Unlike newspapers or
magazines, the acquisition and
operation of broadcasting sta
tions cannot be left to the un-
controlled interplay of indi-
vidual initiative and economic
forces. There would be chaos
unless a regulatory body de-

General Rogers to PreSiden
panied a report on deceptiDe
Some weeks ago you asked
me to review the disclosures
made in the course of the re-
cent Investigations Of television
quiz programs as well as other
deceptive and corrupt practices
in radio and television. You
requested that I report to you
with respect to the nature of
the problems involved and
what action is being taken or
might be taken to resolve those
problems.
Since that time, members of
the staff Of the Department Of
Justice and I have examined
the transcript of hearings be-
fore the House Special SUBJ
committee on Legislative Over
sight. discussed the problems
with representatives of the ap-
propriate regulatory agencies
and the broadcaSting industry,
and have reviewed the laws un-
der which that industry OPP
crates. In addition, we are re-
viewing the possibility of GRIM
inal prosecutions under exist
ing Federal laws.
There can be no question as
to the great impact of the
broadcasting industry. particu-
larly of televisiop. upon this
Nation. Industry sources indi-
cate that as of March 1859.
44,462,000 Of the 5l,500, 900
households in the United
States contained at least one
television set. leaving only
7,038,000 households, or 1877 per
cent, without a set.
The average home with a set
is said to have it turned on for
more than five hours a day,
seven days a week, and tele-
vision is said to reach over 1913
million persons in an average
day. The impact of television
upon the thinking and the cul-
ture of this country is therefore
immeaSurable. To millions it

dent DeGaulle. japanese Prime
Minister Kishi. Colombian
President Lleras, and the King
Of Nepal.
The Secretary pledged re-
doubled effort to make progress

Despite the lack of Soviet
deeds to follow the peaceful
words, Mr.. Herter declared:
We must go forward from
the experience of the Presi-
dents recent trip which has
headiined through the world
the concern of the United
States for peace and friend
ship in freedom. This principle
Is now recognized by hundreds
OF millions Of people. Our task
in 1860 and the years ahead
is to help convert this principle
from an expression of anxious
hope into a statement Of actual
fact"
Cites Great Challenges
Secretary Nerter predicted
that throughout the year we
shall face great challenges. We
and our allies viii explore with
the Soviet Union possibilities
for reaching political settle
ments. We will engage in re-
doubled efforts to make prog
resS on arms control. We will
keep up our programs to assist
developing nations to progress
in freedom"

cluded, will try to carry out

Discrimination Has
Got To Be "ScUffled"

New York CAMP - The Ri.
Rev. James A. Pike, California
Episcopal bishop, said here last
week the United States is mo
longer the top dog in the world
and won't be unless it "scuttles'
racial discrimination.
Bishop Pike, has just returned
from international conferences in
Paris and London on the question
of treatment of Jews in the Sow
let Union, called discrimination
against Negroes in the Southern
United States "heinous."
This so-called white supremacy
in the South is a nonsense and a
luxury we cannot afford" he said.
I'VE will lose allies in Africa and
Asia unless we have a strong
Democratic program to stamp out
this evil.
I'VE don't realize here at home, "
he added, what other people
around the world think about us.
The other peoples of the world do
not respect our honesty when we
preach freedom and equality when
we don't practice it at home.
Discrimination is too expensive.
It's got to be scuttled now or we
are going to lose the respect of the
rest of the world"
Bishop Pike addressed a luncheon
of the life insurance advertisers
association.
