Exit the Orator
WE feel constrained to prop-
hesy perhaps even announce the
death of the art of oratory The
noble tradition of Demosthenes
Cicero William 'Jennings Bryan
and sundry Fourth of July speak-
ers has succumbed we fear to
science Specifically it is the vic-
tim of those duidleating machines
We had noted the decline for
some Uwe But the full impact of
oratory's perilous position bore
down upon us when we saw the
pictures of former Sen Warren
Austin and his audience on the
Occasion of Mr Warren's speech
before the UN General Assembly
There was poor Mr Austin
bravelyspeaking away And there
were his listeners with heads
bowed over the advance copies of
bisspeech which the duplicating
machines had so swiftly provided
Seldoin has a more inattentive
audience heard a more interesting
and informative address It was
as If Maurice Evans were per-
forming before a gathering whose
every member had a copy of
"Hamlet" open on his lap

pensable to newspapers and press
services enabling them to dis-
tribute and set in type a speech
some hours before its delivery Of
course reporters still have to cov-
r the actual address in case—as
often happens—the speaker puts
In a few ad lib words But we do
think the speech might be with-
held from the audience
There is a great deal of differ-
ence between hearing and seeing
a word The mind in receiving
statements from a printed page
Is Inclined to weigh them in gen-
erally sober fashion It testa pon-
ders approves or disapproves It
May retrace a sentence or para-
graph seeking out flaws or en-
joying more thoroughly a felicit-
ous eniployment of the language

THE eye and ear are not 11ee7
essarily competitors The orator
need have no MOM fear of the
stenographer than the radio an-
nouncer has of the newspaper re-1
porter if care is taken to put the
care before the horse We listen
then we have the desire to read
and confirm or re-enjoy But an
oration should be heard first
Would Cicero's eloquence have
lived if every Roman senator had
head an advance handout or
vmuld the handouts have been
put aside and the half-listened-to
speech forgotten? How would
Lincoln's address have gone over
at Gettysburg or WebsteCs
Bunker Hill if everyone in tiT
audience had been following the
script to see if the speaker muff-
ed a line or changed a word?
The duplicating machine is here
to stay But we fear that the
pleasure of listening to a good
speaker and the incentive to be
one are being sacrificed to this
indispensable instrument

ASHINGTON D C—(NEA)--How Tennessee's Senators Kens
nett McKellar and Tom Stewart try to throw their weight around
for the !meat Of their particular friends with apparent disregard
for the Federal Administrative Procedures Act is revealed by a
couple of letters which have just come to light
They were written to the Federal Communications
I Commission after FCC had granted a pair of
I radio station licenses to two companies which did
C:1 not have the senators' backing
The affair goes back to 1940 when two free
radio channels became available in the Nashville
area then served by three stations Five ap-
plications were sled with FCC for allocation of
the channels
The war held up decision and a sixth applica-
41- tion was received in 1044 Hearings were held
idol last December and on Aug 6 the commission
published its proposed decision
In brief one thannel was given to Murfreesboro Tenn about 30
' Miles from Nashville because Murfreesboro had no local station The
second channel went to A G Beaman and T F Baker Jr
When the Tennessee senators learned about this they promptly
went to work -
AlcKELLAR was the first to swing into action with a letter to
Acting FCC Chairman Charles R Denny which said among
other things: "It seems that your office takes pleasure in turning
down our recommendations Senator Stewart and I were together
in all of these recommendations Of course you know all about
Tennessee and we know nothing Very frankly Mr Denny I resent
very much your action in the matter"
Four days later Senator Stewart chimed in with a letter saying:
"' I would like for you and the other members of your commission
to know that this is about the most contemptible deal I have ever had
perpetrated on me since I have been in Washington It was nothing
more thrii -an effort to embarrass my good friend and colleague
AlcKELLAR was the first to swing into action with a letter to

other things: "It seems that your office takes pleasure in turning
down our recommendations Senator Stewart and I were together
in all of these recommendations Of course you know all about

very anuch your action in the matter"
Four days later Senator Stewart chimed in with a letter saying:
I would like for you and the other members of your commission
to know that this is about the most contemptible deal I have ever had
perpetrated on me since I have been in Washington It was nothing
more thrsi an effort to embarrass my good friend and colleague
:Senator McKellar since the award you made was to a man who had
Assisted in the fight to defeat Senator McKellar in his campaign for
Tenomination to the Vnited States Senate I suppose it will be your
policy in the future to always penalize our friends"
IT is generally agreed that the two senators had a perfect right to
make their recommendations to the commission But their subse-
quent protests are indefensible
Last June Congress passed the Federal Administration Procedures
Act which President Truman signed The law provides among other
things for the conduct of federal agency hearings by disinterested
examiners protected by civil service from political pressure
So in spite of protests from the Tennessee senators FCC went
ahead with its proposal making the award of the two frequencies
