Bolivia Is Torn
By Revolution
LA PAZ, Bolivia, Aug. ' -UP)
Defying government bombs
and loyal troops marching
against their stronghold, Bolivian
rehels at Cochabamha called on
the rest of the population to help
them today.
A rebel broadcast heard here
urged the people to rise against
the government which. It said,
"is provoking a fratricidal war."
Thus thev spurned a govern
ment ultimatum to surrender or
be annihilated Issued last night
after two air force bombings of
Cochabamha.
Six planes dropped 140 bombs
on the city, damaging the air
field and destroying at least on?
rebel plane, in the major raid.
Earlier four planes on a recon
naissance mission dropped a few
light explosives. The rebels
answered with pursuit planes and
anti-aircraft fire.
It is impossible to estimate
casualties because of disrupted
communications and continued
fighting.
One of the government bombs
blew up a railroad bridge over
the Rio Rocha river, about a mile
outside Cochabamha, holding up
trainloads of loval soldiers for

rebels.

Give-Aways Seen As Radio's Default
On Its Responsibility To Entertain
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
All Is confusion In radio's give-away world. The major net
works plan early court tests of the FCC's new ban on give-away
shows and meantime the lawyers are having a field day specu
lating about which stations might escape the ruling.
Under the FCC edict, most
give-aways are branded as lot
teries and they would thus be
illegal. The ban becomes effec
tive Oct. 1. FCC says it may re
fuse to renew the licenses of sta
tions which broadcast such pro
grams after that date.
Should the ruling stand up In
court, the impact on radio would
be heavy. The big networks fea
ture nearly 40 regular give
aways and local outlets play jp
countless more. About $10,000,
000 a year is said to be offered
In prizes on these programs.
More than 30,000,000 persons lis
ten to the three biggest shows
alone, according to network
claims.
For four years now these pro
grams have been pourinK out a
flood of widely varied prizes the
greatest customer bonanza in the
history of American merchandis
ing. Iceboxes, luggage, Jewelry,
thousands of cans of food, trips
around the country, whole or
chards, French poodles complete
with a year s supply oi nourisn
ment, and even a goldplated lawn
mower have been bestowed upon
startled but grateful citizens all
over the United States.
In fact, so amazing are the
gifts on occasion that sharp
tongued Fred Allen, the radio co
median, did not seem far off the
mark when he once burlesqued
the give-away show with a prize
list including such doubtful bene
fits as 2.000 pounds of putty, 6.000
yards of dental floss and a huge
mound of dirt "delivered to your
door."
Naturally the courts must de
cide 'vhether give-aways are lot
teries as the tCC contends. One
radio lawyer already has pointed
out that another government de
partment, the Post Office, seems
to take an opposite view. And,
historically, that agencv has il
ways been extremely strict in de
termining what constitutes a lot
tery. Critics of the decision also are
making a lot of the fact that it
was actually decreed by a mi
nority of the FCC. The ruling was
approved 3 to 1 but three mem
bers were absent.
The adverse vote was cast by
Miss Hennock, who raised stiil
another issue: whether the FCC
might not be usurping the powers
of the Justice Department, or
Congress Itself, in acting against
the broadcasters.
It seems to us radio has a
greater responsibility in this mat
ter than simply resolving the le
gal questions. The real puzzle is
how far radio ought to carry this
give away game, if in the end it
should be free to do as it pleases.
The programs are popular, yes.
Why shouldn't they be? The pull
ing power of money, or its equiv
alent In iceboxes and poodles,
has not lessened. I
