Contemptible qualities existing
in radio ,are largely due to apathy
of the listeners, according to Gay-
lord Marr in his speech before
YMCA members last week.
Marr cited both good and bad
points of the American situation
in radio broadcasting.
"In England," he said, "the
radio is a school master; in Russia
a drillmaster. In America, radio is
a reciting pupil for teachers, the
public."
Neither of the foreign coun
tries mentioned have the com
mercially sponsored programs
known in America. The state
supports radio in England from
a special tax on receivers. Marr
said that in Russia few sets
exist and the country encour
ages group listening, hence
group thinking along the lines
desired by the state which man
ages the broadcasting.
American stations must operate
in "the public interest, conven
ience, and necessity," to quote
from federal regulations.
As far back as the 1930, CBS
began their School of the Air pro
gram in the public interest. He
said that when it was recently
discontinued the program was
used as a classroom subject by
177,000 schools.
In the same year the New York
Philharmonic orchestra was first
presented in the cultural interest
of the nation.
Franklin D. Roosevelt demon
strated the value of radio in
shaping public opinion. Adolf
Hitler also realized the radio
was a powerful medium of com
munication ' and proceeded to
pervert it, Marr stated.
Following World War II, 67
of the American people ac
claimed radio for doing the best
job of all service employed
communications he said.
Marr explained that radio was
a business and like other busi
nesses it was to make money for
its backers. Advertising was re
sorted to as a source of funds.
Gradually advertisers exerted
pressure on broadcasters giving
them a reputation for being sub
missive servants of advertiser's
will. '
Marr cited several programs
steel loses heavily on its classical
music program.
"It is true that 50 of the
housewives do not enjoy 'soap
opera,'" he said, "but because
they do not complain the oper- t
ators assume that their silence
means satisfied silence."
In his speech Marr was not
quoting the views of the Univer
sity radio department. He was
commenting and discussing ex
cerpts taken from the newspaper
which disprove the contention column of John Crosby.

listeners about their programs,
according to Marr. This is the best
way for the listening public to
help correct defects of radio.
