Murphy, North Carolina
Gentlemen:
Thank you very much for sending me news clipping dealing with
?statements by Mr. Ray Jenkins of Knoxville about the Wagon Train festi
vities and the importance of a highway from Tellico Plains to Murphy.
-This has been read with much interest and I have forwarded copies to
? -
man of the State Highway Commission.)
I regret exceedingly that it was not possible for me to be present for
the festivities last weekend ns I recall the splendid time had last year
when I was priviliped to be on hand. However, the unexpected death of
Highway Commissioner E. L. White of Wilmington a few days prior to
.. toe 4th. plus restrictions due to a severe cough and cold, made it impos
sible for me to be present.
ifiu. appreciation and best wishes, i am

Rollman Calls
FCC Equal Time
Decision Insane
Heinz Rollman, Waynesville in
dustrialist, commented recently on
the 'equal time decision handed
down by the Federal Communica
tions Commission ? FCC) that would
force radio and television stations
to allot equal time to all candidates
seeking elective office.
"If this grossly unfair decision
of the FCC is allowed to sand",
declared Rollman, "it will not be
fong before newspapers will also oe
forced to allot equal space to any
and all candidates seeking public
office. This would be synonymous
with doing away with the free press
in our country, or any free news
media."
"The FCC decision stated that
a radio or TV station if in its news
broadcasts it reports about one
candidate, for instance for one min
ute, or for that matter 100 times
for one minute, all candidates seek
ing the same office can ask for
the same amount of time". Roll
n>an comments that obviously, to
make this equal tie decision more
interesting for viewers or listeners,
the only alternative these free
media have, when there is noth
ing worthwhile to say about a
candidiate is to repeat the candi
date's name for 60 consecutive
minutas, or whatever time he has
to be given free.
"This, however." said Rollman,
"is only the beginning of this mon
strosity. When it comes to news
papers, it becomes even sillier"
