PLAINTIFF IN CASE OF
SORENSEN VS. WOOD
AND RADIO STATION

(Continued from Page 1.)
Sonntop Norris' renomination on
the republican ticket was being
contested by State Treasurer Steb
blns. Attorney General Sorensen

mary for renomination. Radio sta
tion KFAB broadcast during vne
course of the campaign a speech
hv TJnrris. and the friends of Steb
bins arranged for a broadcast in
hia behalf the night betore me
plAction.
rn nt thp sneakers who SDoke
for Stebbins was Richard F. Wood,
an Omaha attorney, who during
the course of his speech attacked
Mr. Sorensen very vigorously,
mRklnp- what have been admitted
to be defamatory statements about
Mr. Sorensen. The speecti was
made the night before election.
Some of Mr. Sorensen s friends,
being aware beforehand that at
torney Wood was going to make a
"hot ' speech, had the speecn re
corded verbatin by a stenographer.
The newspapers refused to print
copies of the speech. The radio
station broadcasted a retraction on
election day, but disclaimed res
ponsibility for the speech. Soren
sen then instituted a suit lor ae

Mr. Wood's attorneys admitted
that the statements he made were
false and deflamatory. but took the
stand that no substantial damage
had been incurred by trie plaintiff
since at the primary election he
received more votes than he had
ever polled before. The jury
awarded Mr. Sorensen one dollar
in damages against Mr. Wood.
The defense for the radio sta

first, that they were in no case
liable to any greater extent than
on the basis of negligence and that

had no power to Interfere with the
speech anyway.
This federal radio act provides
that any station permitting a le
gaily qualified candidate to use Us
broadcasting facilities shall ar
ord equal opportunities to all oth
' candidates for the same office,
he act also prohibits the radio
.ation from censoring the mater
i al broadcast
The plaintiff's attorneys con
tended that the radio act did not
apply to this case since Wood was
not opposing Norris and therefore
the radio station was not obliged
to allow him to speak over Its fa
cilities, and that to construe the
statute any other way would be to
make its provisions unconstitu
tional. Apart from the statute, the
plaintiff argued that the radio sta
tion is Just as liable for the defam
atory material as any other pub
lishing agency is liable for pub
llcation of such material.
It was the defense of the radio
station which Interested Prof. Void
and eventually led him to enter the
case. Contrary to the opinion of
the defense attorney Max Begthol
that the case was merely one for
damages, Prof. Void believes it to
be a question involving a very
broad legal principle, the decision
of which Is likely to become the
first established precedent on the

question of whether or not a radio
station is liable for defamatory
statements published by means of
Its facilities.
Prof. Void feels that if the court
adopts the attitude of the defense
attorney that a radio station is
only liable on the basis of neglig
ence for what it broadcasts that it
will constitute a dangerous pre
cedent for the future development
of the law. It would, he feels, place
a broadcasting company in very
privileged position In con:i'irison
with other publishlnsr AioneicH
such as newsnaDers who ar ni.
ways held liable for defamatory
material whether thev wero -nr-o.
Hgent or not in publishing It.
Inasmuch as this la the ri rat" Pn ua
of the kind. Prof. Void thinks it
should be settled with the Idea in
view that it Is more than Just nn
ordinary damage suit. It will, he
says, be the basis In all llklihuod
for decisions in similar cases a'.l
over tho United States.
