LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
TO KEEP “F M”
RADIO FROM
MONOPOLY CONTROL
BY PRESENT STANDARD
BROADCASTERS AND LARGE
NEWSPAPERS
Launching, what they promise
will be a “sustained" campaign to
keep FM radio from monopl.v con
trol by present standard broadcast
ers and large newspapers the Na
tional Citizens Political Action Com
mittee released today an S-page
printed "Report to America on Ra
dio Broadcagting”.
The report, bearing a boldly
printed demand for “Immediate Ac
tion" has been mailed to thousands
of citizens groups and civic leaders
throughout the country. It briefs
the current state of American
broadcasting, outlines the prospects
for domination of FM broadcasting
by the same interests “who now
control the country's principal sta
tions and newspaper”, and urges
action in the form of letters, wires
petitions, .and resolutions to the
Congress and the Federal Commun
ications Commission.
The first page call-to-action. sign
ed by Elmer A. Benson, Chairman
of Citizeng PAC's Executive Coun
cil, warns: “You must act now to
prevent control of FM from falling
into these hands, or the fight on
other issues which interest you to
day and which will interest you in
the months and years ahead will
be the harder to win.”
Six recommendations are made to
the FCC and Congress in the re
port:
(1) That only % of available
FM channels be granted to stand
ard broadcasting stations and news
papers:
(2) That the FCC prescribe in
terms of hours and expenditures
standards of public service pro
gramming for all broadcasting lic
enses ;
(3) That of all available FM
channels be granted to newcomers,
under rules and regulations which
will ingure fair consideration for
veterans, small businessmen, farm,
labor, cooperative and cltizeng
groups;
(4) That no FM licenses be
granted to standard broadcasting
stations without the holdine of pub
lie hearings;
(5) That the licenses of present
broadcagters not be renewed with
out advertising and holding public
hearings;
(6) That local hearings be ar
ranged in the communities applic
ants intend to serve.
In discussing the current state of
American broadcasting the report
notes that ‘the 10 clear-channel,
50.000 watt stations owned by mem
bers of the National Association of
Manufacturers occupy more space
on the radio spectrum than all of
the nation's 444 local. 50 watt sta
tions put together.”
The report emphasizes that the
profits of licenges are out of pro
portion to their investments and to
the standards of public service pro

DuBois To London for
African Conference
Ne-.v York_Dr. W. E. B. DuBois,
director of special research for the
NAACP, left New York October 13
by plane to represent the NAACP
at a conference in London called
to consider problems of African peo
pie.
The conference, which is being
arranged by*' African ' SC u detit
group?; and African trade union
delegates, will continue the work
begun in the Pan-African Congress
ses, initiated by the NAACP in
1919. These Congresses were held
in 1921. 1923 and 1927, being held
successfully in Paris, London
Brussels. Lisbon pnd New York.
The NAACP sent Dr. DuBois to
Paris after the first World War.
tfis main mission was to gather
data concerning colored soldiers,
but he called a Pan-African Con
gress there to center world atten
tion on the future of Africa.
Efforts to continue the series af
ter 1927 failed and the idea wag
dropped until the Negro trade union
delegates meeting in London last
w'inter appealed to the NAACP and 1
others to call a congress this fall.
There ws some hesitation because
of war conditions and difficulties
of travel. Finally the Association
decided that the meeting bade fair
to be important enough to warrant
sending a delegate. Dr. DuBois
was selected to go and to assure
the delegates of the sympathy of
American Negroes and offer coop
eration in calling a larger and
more representative Congress in
1946 or 1947.
gramming they provide. Industry
wide profits are estimated ait 150 %
per year before taxes, and cases of
individual stations earning in ex
cess of 200% per year after taxes
are cited.
Though the report is sharply
critical of the FCC for failure to
protect the public interest, it stat
e9 that “We, the people, must ac
cept responsibility too, for our own
inaction.”
The report concludes with a mes
sage urging local citizens groups
and individuals to support the FC
C’s request to Congress for ade
quate appropriations “to fulfill its
functions as guardian of the public
interest.”
The FC C has announced that it j
will begin granting FM broadcast-)
licenses after October 7. and the ]
report noteg that if licenses are
quickly granted ‘the choice chan
nels in large citieg along the east
ern seaboard, in Detroit, Chicago,
and Los Angeles, in entire states
like Ohio will be gone before vet
erans. small businegsmen, and oth
ers have had a chance to investi
gate the possibilities of FM.”
The report emphasizes that FM
is a “gmall business opportunity"
requiring relatively small capital
investments, yet the average worth
of FM applicants is reported to be
more than $1,000,000 each.
Criticism is directed at tne FCC
for having allocated, on September
12, some 53 “choice channels” with
out holding- public hearings. The.
channels were assigned to stations
which began their FM operations 1
before the war ‘freeze”, but the
report stresses that these stations j
should be rquired to compete open
ly and fairly with the more than
500 applicants whose requegts the
FCC will congider after October 7.

Courgeous
President
The President of the United Stat

by his recent denunciation of the

permit Hazel Scott to appear in
Constitution Hall. It takes cour.
age to maintain a stand of that
kind) especially if you intend to be
reelected in 1948. But gradually
America and Europe are coming to
realize that Harry S Truman fight*
for what he believes to be right,
and not for the benefit of any
clique or political group. How
much of this kind of courage the
South can stand comes to be an im
portant question. Perhaps Mr.
Truman'g attitude will help the en

more objectivity, and to use worth
rather than color as a basis of ac

I
I
WASHINGTON October 13. _ Thc
National Non-Partisan Council >n
Public Affairs of Alpha Kappa Al
pha Sorority urged a more progres
sive tax program in testimony be
fore the Senate Finance Committee
this week.
Mrs- Thomasina VV. Johnson. Leg
islutive Representative appearing
before the Committee pointed that
the Reonvrsion Tax Program pass
ed last week by the House fails to
provide relief where it is critically
needed while giving unnecessary
winfalls to the most prosperous cor
porationg.
The Council carried the full 1
weight of its membership in sup-j
port of a Reconversion Tax Pro
gram ACCORDING TO ONE’S A
BIDITY TO PAY, Mrs. Johnson
also pointed out that this would
provide the Government with ade
quate revenue for its demobilizat
ion program and that such a pro
gram will boost purchasing power
as well as contest pressure result
ing from mass lay-offs and the re
turn of discharged veterans.
In the Council’s analysis of the
Tax Program pa9sed by the House
of Representatives it is shown that
NegroeSj the majority of whom con
stitute the low and middle income
groups, will benefit least from the
proposed plan of retaining sub
standard personal exemptions;
granting only meager relief to the
low and middle income groups.
The Council further stated that
the prime objective of reconversion
tax legislation should be to sustain
mass purchasing power; assist the
small business; and grant relief
where the need is greatest, g° aS to
minimize hardship and speed an
orderly transition to an era of full
employment and high level capac
ity production. In order to do this
the AKA Non-Partisan Council de
clared, that provisions should be
made s° that ALL INCOMES and
especially those of individuals and
corporations that have been drast
ically cut by the -Impact of recon
version might benefit from a reas
onable carry-over and carry-back
personal exemption plan; so that
veterans might be relieved of past
tax debts for a reasonable period of
time prior to hig digcharge; so that
excise taxes which are only justi
fiable as wartime emergency meas
ures might be rduced or abolished
on items of mass consumption such
as movie tickets, inexpensive toilet
articles, cosmetics, leather goods,
and the like; and so that the auto
mobile use tax might be eliminated
Further provisions should be made I
so that substantial tax relief might
be given small businesses in order
that they might be speedily recon
verted and new enterprises encour
aged. It is our belief, the Alpha
Kappa Alpha women stated, that
in order to curb inflationary 9pec
ulation in securities, real estate and
farm land, that the holding period
for long-term capital assets ought
to be extended and that profits
realized from the sale or exchange
of capital assets held for less than i
a reasonable number of months j
should be taxed as ordinary in- f
come.
The AKA Non-Partisan Council!
urged that the Senate revise the
Tax proposals of the Houge on the
basis of "TAXATION ACCORDING
TO ONES ABILITY TO PAY”
which will give relief where it is
needed most, increase the Nation's
purchasing power, speed up the
pace of reconversion and pave the
way to FULL EMPLOYMENT and
general prosperity during the post
war period; while at the same time
providing adequate revenue for the
Government.
In discussing the Council's inter
est in the new tax program> Mrs.
Johnson stated that "the field of
taxation is perhaps the one field of
the Federal Government that invol
ves every Negro in America and
that this is one of the phases com
monly overlooked in presenting our
point of view. It is true we shall
no doubt always be sure of death
and taxes but whether or not we
pay taxes according to our ability
to pay can be made our ability to
pay can be made our policy. There j
is no longer room in America for a I

WASHINGTON, D C — High

hospital care—great human suffer
ing.
That’s the product of a low wage
policy which has turned the South
—potentially of the richest regions
of America—into the poorest and
most retarded.
Evidence supporting these facts
has been known for years both in
and out the Halls of Congress, but
the truth will be driven home even
more sharply during the current
Senate hearings to raise the hourly
minimum wage to 65-75 cents. The
usual reactionary bloc of southern
Congressmen will fight tooth and
nail to kill the bill for fear of driv
ing industry out of their low-wage
area, but the overwhelming support
of the public, spearheaded by the
CIO and its PAC, can push the bill
through, labor obserovrs comment

No more convincing argument can
be presented for this measure than
the status of health conditions in

Conference for Human Welfare,
labor and public organizations re
veal shocking proof of the South**
ill health. Analyzing the Selective
Service rejection reports, it was
discovered that rejections were 15
percent higher in the 13 Southern
states than in the non-Southern
states- This revelation is support
ed by the fact that there are only
9-4 docors per thousand people in
the South as compared with 14-9
in other regions. There were oniv
2-2 general hospital beds per 1,000
people in the South while other
areas had almost twice as many
