Protest FCC Restriction On Air Programs
Washington AP The National Association of Broadcasters asked the FCC to suspend a new regulation effective Nov 1 that would limit international stations to only programs promoting goodwill and cooperation. NAB President Neville Miller argued the rule infringes free speech, conflicts with foreign policy, and exceeds authority. He urged hearings for 14 stations, most serving Latin America. FCC announced revised rules require one year licenses and annual renewals with showings of cultural promotion and international goodwill. Congress debates the rule with Representative McLeod calling for FCC resignations, saying the rule suppresses religion speech and the press.

Tribunal upholds milk price laws while Hague ruling hits free assembly
The U.S. Supreme Court split five four to uphold the administration’s milk price stabilization plan under the 1937 Agricultural Marketing Act, with Justices Roberts and Black filing separate opinions. In a second ruling, the court found that Jersey City Mayor Frank Hague violated free assembly rights by limiting CIO meetings, and interim orders blocked a city ordinance banning public meetings to prevent riots. The decision marked one of two major rulings of the term’s final day, with various justices not participating.
