Dewey, the re publican nominee, said today the Federal Communications commission should have no right of radio censorship or con trol over broadcast content, and urged a new radio law to re strict FCC to regulation of "technical facilities." In a copyrighted interview In "Broadcasting" magazine, Dewey said he was opposed to federal ownership, control or operation of radio stations say ing "the government no more belongs in this field than in the field of the newspaper or mag azine." "I believe that the FCC should have no right of censor ship, that it should not control the content of radio programs," he said. "When the FCC st.vts to control program content, free radio goes out the window." The FCC, headed by Chair man James Lawrence Fly, has long been a target of republi cans in congress. Laval university at Quebec was opened on Dec. 8, 1852. Bar Resolution Takes Swing at New Deal Judges Chicago, Sept. 12, (U.R) The annual conference of the Ameri can Bar association today had un der consideration a resolution charging that supreme court de cisions "reflect tho governmen tal philosophy and political pur pose of the administration by which Its judges were appointed and of which many of them re cently wcis a part." The rcso,ition, presented last night by J. Cleo Thompson, Dal las attorney, charged that the court "has repeatedly overruled decisions, precedents and ignores landmarks of the law of long standing." "By disregarding these prin ciples," tho resolution declared, "tho supreme court has created such a state of uncertainty as to what the law is that it was ren dered impossible for even the practicing lawyer to advise his clients as to whnt the law Is to day or even to offer a guess as to what it will be tomorrow." PRESS-WAITS-PEACE London, Sept. 12. (U.R) Nor way will re-establish a free press as soon as military cen sorship is lifted, Trygve Lie, Norwegian foreign minister, to day assured Hugh Baillie, prcsi-1 dent of the United Press. Medford Post No. 15 of The American Legion was recently awarded a Certificate of Dis tinguished Service for 1944 by State Department Commander D. M. McDade and duly attest ed by Department adjutant Fritz Nissen, formerly of Med ford, at state department head quarters In Portland. The cita tion is for "faithfulness in the performance of duty, for loyal cooperation and for meritorious achievement, and for a member ship surpassing the assigned quota of the state department." The 1944 post commander was Walter J. Reinking, and the post adjutant was Fred L. Strang. New post officers for 1945 with Harry A. Young as com mander and Chas. D. Wiley as adjutant, take over with their first meeting the evening of Sept. 27 at the armory. At this meeting Commander Young will announce his standing commit tee appointments. Medford Post Legion records show that A. J. Anderson at the coming meeting of Medford Post is starting his 19th year as post chaplain, as he took over the duties of this office in Jan uary, 1920. In a recent edition of The Oregon Legionnaire, Horace Bromley, formerly of Medford and now a resident of Salem, states that " 'Andy' An derson was reelected chaplain of the Medford post for the 20th year or thereabouts, and while his memory fails him on the ex act number, he is positive that his record exceeds even that of Franklin Delano Believe it or not." There will be no post meet ing this Wednesday night as previously scheduled. First meeting of the fall season will be Sept. 27, when the Legion and auxiliary will have joint Installation of officers, with members of Ashland and Grants Pass posts as guests.
