7/2/35 A. P. ANSWERS IN TRANSRADIO CASE Answers filed last week in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by the American Newspaper Publishers' Association and the Associated Press denied that the Press-Radio Agreement constituted a conspiracy in restraint of trade and denied that Transradio, the plaintiff was entitled to any damages. Commenting upon the radio-news situation Newsdom, of New York, says, editorially: "The press-radio dispute is still up in the air. Charges and counter-charges are being hurled. At times it appears that the disputants are willing to discuss a workable agreement in the matter of broadcasting news only to shrink like the proverbial violet when any possibility of an agreement looms in sight. "Few will admit that the Press-Radio Bureau solves the problem. It is so much sawdust thrown in the hole in the dike until a more practical measure is agreed upon. Meanwhile inde¬ pendent radio press services and press news gathering associa¬ tions are entrenched like soldiers in modern warfare. Neither side will give in, and the war becomes one a fight to the finish. "But all is not tear gas, howitzers and barbed wire. The Philadelphia Daily News and the Philadelphia Record have just signed an agreement with WFIL whereby the radio station will exchange spot announcements in its news broadcasts for advertising in those dailies. In this manner listeners are given a news bulletin and are informed that further details and complete information may be obtained in the current edition of the Record or the News. "This may be a decided advance toward reconciliation between the newspapers and the radio. At least it is sounder in principle than a war to the death between the two principal mediums of news dissemination. " XXXXXXXX RATES OF PAY FOR GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATION BY TELEGRAPH General Order No. 15, comprising 15 mimeographed double spaced pages, has just been issued by the Telegraph Division of the Federal Communications Commission and sets forth the rates of pay for Government communication by telegraph as ordered at a special meeting of that division on June 27th.
