...free time on the air. It is evident that the radio has assumed a place of political importance at least equal to that of the daily newspaper, and an impartiality whose scope and influence far exceed the best local press organs. At the bottom of this policy of non-partisanship lies the Federal Communications Commission, a body, which, if its present principles are maintained permanently, will do more for the success of democratic government than any possible mechanical reform...
...Southern injustice and intolerance. To Southerners, the defendants were a gang of "bad niggers" whose crime was being brazenly exploited by malicious Reds, Jews and Yankees.

...organized pressure group. Refusing to nominate candidates of its own, the organization dickers with the representatives of the two major parties and pledges its support to whoever will grantee to vote for the Townsend Plan when and if it comes up in Congress. It is this factor of non-partisanship which constitutes the strength of the movement as a political force. The Representative is definitely on the proverbial spot. If he refuses to play in with the Townsendites, he alienates a substantial, even a crucial sector of the electorate. For there is always the danger that his opponent will acquiesce...
