Raloh Atlass Aids Free Speech But Doesn’t Hold the Bap; pfeFIitPl Possible nation-wide solution to the current to-do over giving unions and suchlike groups air time to present controversial issues was offered last week by Ralph Atlass, owner of WIND in Cnicago, who announced he’ll dish out all the time needed by such groups, sans any censorship of scripts beforehand by the station, but that those with axes to grind will have to post a bond of $100,000 in order to protect himself and his station against any possible libel. On the theory that "the people own the air, and not the stations", union heads and others have beefed plenty in the past that they’re not allov/ed to "tell their side of it." They’ll be giv¬ en opportunity to do so now on WIND, Atlass said, because he’ll star" setting aside an hour a week, starting next week, for the purpose. Wire Service of New 5th Radio Network Described ( ’'Long Line s " A. T. & T. Magazine) Long Lines people in Detroit have been busy for the past several months with the organization of a coa st-to-coast radio net¬ work for the Associated Broadcasting Corporation, the fifth national network in the United States. The round robin circuit is arranged to operate counter-clockwire; if a program is fed into the network at WWDC, Washington, it feeds both the West Coast section and to Baltimore, New York, Buffalo, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Chicago, and so on around the round robin and back into WWDC, This enables the program to be monitored for quality from the originating station. Any point on the round robin may or¬ iginate a program in this manner. The quick reversible services are arranged with special equipment in the station testrooms to control the direction of trans¬ missions by any of the radio stations in those sections. For example, KMYR-Denver, may feed a local program into the network by operating its switching control panel. The panel, in turn, operates relays at repeater amplifiers and determine the direction of the transmission. In the case of an origination from Denver, the Denver-Grand Rapids section would be reversed and the Denver-West Coast section would operate normally, etc. XXXXXX -14
