Thal'a I lie dale alien a federal
romrmmlretlona commission order
would bar all. nr moot, of thrm from
further broadcasts.
The KCO lias Issued the nrdrr on
these around:

a law governing radio.
'Ilia radio people lay thla VCC In

And the radln people almost surely
will art a court nrdrr permitting:

while alter October I.
11a case revolvea around tills part
ot I ha law:
There ran be no broadcasting

altering prises dependent In whule
er In pari upon lol or chance, or
any list of the prlaea drawn or
awarded by meana of any aurh
lottery, gill enterprise, or scheme,
whether aald Hal contains any
part or all of aurh prises."
The rCC aald a radln lottery !
generally one Involving a price
awarded aa a result of lot or chance,
where the contestant contributes
something of value, nr Is required to
be listening or viewing the program
over a receiver.
I-egal definitions of a lottery In-
all you do la listen to radio,
without spending a penny. In Ilia
hope you can answer a question
If the master of reremonlea rails
your telephone number?
The KCU thinks It Is. It believes
the time you give to listening. In
order to win a prise, la a 'con
sideration." The KCC said:
Where such a schema Is designed
lit Induce members of the public to
listen to the program and to be at
home available for selection as a
winner or (Kisslbte winner, there re
sults detrlmrnt to those who are so
Induced to listen when they ara
under no duty to do so"
Thla Interpretation of "considera
tion" has never been established In
a court, government attorneys say
here. And one member of the FCC
Itself. Miss Frieda Hemlock, who
disagreed with the majority ot her
tellnw commissioners, said:
"This Is the first Instance In which
a scheme has been called lottery
when the sole consideration support
ing It la nominal or other than the
payment of something nl value."
Itul Ilia M l' order, going be
yond Just the word ' lottery," bans
from the air any "gift enterprise,
or similar erhrme." That's broad
enough lo rover a wide variety of
give-away programs.
Hupws you do anawrr the ques
tion when the radio program, to
which you've been listening, calls
you on the phone. Can't you can
sldrr the prise you then gel for

Not according to the KCC. And
not according to the Internal rev
