"Radio has an unusual capacity as well as an unusual res¬ ponsibility to balance these psychological attitudes. This res¬ ponsibility and opoortunity lies largely in the fact that the ears of youth are attuned more closely to radio than to any other form of mass expression.
"Nothing could be more disastrous to world peace, to stability in our own nation, than for peace to find a. troubled, distorted confused and cynical youth. These are the boys and girls upon whose understanding and ideals the future must be built. "

CLARE LUCE OPPOSED FCC HOUSE ALLEGED SUBVERSIVE VOTE
Apropos the rumor that Dr. Frederick L. Schuman, former University of Chicago professor, one of the alleged FCC subversives under fire in Congress had resigned and that Dr. Goodwin Watson and William E. Dodd, Jr. would likely follow suit, is the interesting fact that Representative Clare Luce ( R) , of Connecticut, wife of the publisher of Life and Time , voted against cutting Messrs. Watson, Dodd, Jr, and Dr. Lovett off the Government payroll.
Mrs. Luce's line of questioning during the House debate indicated that she was opposed to the measure and was as follows:
Mrs. LUCE; Is there any historical precedent in the long life of this body for the Dies committee or the Kerr committee? Has this ever happened before in our Nation?
MR. DIRKSEN. We had the McCormack committee before.
MR. TABER. And also the Fish committee before that.
Mrs. LUCE. I think something new has been put in American life.
Mr. DIRKSEN. The gentlewoman from Connecticut is asking whether
there was a committee prior to the Dies committee and the Kerr commi ttee ?
Mrs. LUCE. Yes.
Mr. DIRKSEN. There was.
Mrs. LUCE. Doing a like kind of work?
Mr. DIRKSEN. Yes. There was the McCormack committee and before that there was the Fish committee. I think the gentlewoman has in mind whether or not there has been any precedent for the Kerr sub¬ committee with authority to sit upon these people who have been charged by the Dies committee and then subsequently bring in a resolution to drop them from the pay roll.
