From the guardian geese around the citadel of classical music there arose last week an anguished honking. An 81-year-old stockbroker named Alfred Lewis Dennis, member of Newark's venerable Bach Choral Society, wrote a long letter, hissing with protest, to FCC Chairman Frank R. McNinch.

With a fifth campaign coming to decision in November, FCC Chairman Frank Ramsay McNinch last week announced that he would lay before his Commission the question of promulgating rules for distributing time to political candidates.

Since he has not pressed the radio time rate inquiry, and since he is not willing to make accusations against a radio monopoly until one is proved, there is a likelihood that Mr. McNinch will at any rate oppose the bill's domestic broadcasting provision. Hopefully the industry...
