- 6 - DIVIDE AND CONQUER That was the technique which Hitler and his fanatic followers used to overrun their neighbors. They turned countrymen against their fellows to their own sorrow, Now we see the pattern again. Eroadcasting headlines its lead story (April 21 ) "Durr Charges Colleagues With Laxity". This would tend to imply serious internal feuding, which a reading of the story itself fails to reveal.. It is, in fact, convincing evidence that differences in opinion are a good thing-when the dis¬ sension is based on as sound a basis as those in this case. If the FCC can be split internally, it will be easier to break down its creditable stand in relation to the radio rights of the American people and the responsibilities of broadcasters to them. The Commission members must.not become mere pawns in a game. They must be permitted to work together and disagree when they honestly do so-in the interests of the public they represent. "Divide and Conquer"— remember that formula well. HANNA-WHCU WIN AWARD Mike Hanna has scored again! His name and that of Cornell’s .VHCU won a Peabody Award for "Radio Edition of The Weekly Press". 3am Woodside, assistant to Hanna, did the quarter-hour program each Sunday, presenting comments, ideas, suggestions and personal items culled from the weekly papers. This program was characterized as a step in the direction of bridging the gap between press and radio. Congratulations to WHCU. OBOLER ASKS In reply to a call for questions from a proponent of the "purely-f or-profit- and business" philosophy of radio, Arch Oboler poses a good one. He says (Variety, April 26 , *47)s »-is it not true that if a larger percentage of the same cleverness and ingenuity Y/hich goes into entertainment was diverted into an education of our people, we & would soon have an alert, informed voting majority which would make democracy work on all levels, and thus fill the terrible vacuum in our national life, a void which can never be filled by ephemeral entertainment or an increase of deep-freeze refrigerators or television receivers, which must be filled by giving a greater percentage of us the knowledge, and the opportunity of being of service in peace¬ time to our nation and to our Y/orld?" FCC REVOKES LICENSE WOKO, Albany, v/ill cease operation on August 31 as the result of a.Supreme Court decision that the FCC has the right to refuse to relicense a station guilty of misrepresentations in its reports. WOKO concealed the fact that Sam Pickard, a former Federal Radio Commission member and former CBS vice-president owned 24/o of the station’s stock. Two years of litigation followed the FCC decision. Meanwhile Pickard sold his stock for $ 108 , 000 . This Supreme Court decision tends to strengthen the FCC power to regulate radio in the public interest.
