Broadcasters Propose
New Code of Practice
on
(N. C. W. C. News Service)
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—A
provision calling for the treatment
of the subject of religion invari
ably with respect is embodied in
the proposed new code of stand
ards of practice for the radio in
dustry, announced by the National
Association of Broadcasters here.
The organization embraces the
four major networks as well as
most of 'the independent radio
stations of the nation.
"Reverence should mark any
mention of the name of God, His
attributes or power,” the section
of the code dealing with religion
states. "Reference to religious
faiths, tenets or customs should
be respectful and in good taste,
free of prejudice and ridicule.
Religious rites—Daptlsm, marri
age, burial and other sacraments-
should be portrayed with accuracy.
A priest or minister, when por
trayed in his calling, should be
vested with the dignity of his
office.”
The code also specifies that no
program should be considered ac
ceptable which derides, misrepre
sents or attacks any person or in
stitution by reason of race, creed,
color or national origin.
In a section dealing with re
ligious programs, the proposed
code states: "To every American
the Bill of Rights guarantees free
dom of worship without fear of
intimidation or reprisal. Radio,
therefore, which reaches men of
all creeds simultaneously, should
not be used to convey attacks upon
religion.
"Religious programs should be
presented by recognized and re
sponsible groups and organiza
tions. Religious broadcasts should
place major emphasis on broad re
ligious truths. They should not
be used for the presentation of
controversial questions or for the
expression of partisan opinions or
discussions. Appropriate time,
other than that designated for re
ligious programs, should be sup
plied for such use.
“No offer (other than free
copies of the message presented)
should be permitted on religious
broadcasts. No appeal for funds
should be permitted on such pro
grams.”

MUNICH PAPER REVEALS
MARTYRDOM OF PRIEST
IN NAZI PRISON CAMP
BY MAX JORDAN
(N. C. W. C. News Service)
MUNICH. — Another ^story of
martyrdom under the nazi whip
is coining to light in a report of
the local diocesan paper about the
death of Father Otto Neururer of
Goetzens near Innsbruck. Tyrol.
This priest had been arrested by
the Gestapo in 1939 because he
had informed a young woman who
had sought his counsel about a
prospective marriage tliat he
would not be able to marry her
in chureh since her fiancee was a
member of the SS and had formal
ly severed his ties with the Church.
In view of this advice the young
woman decided to turn down her
suitor who, enraged by what seem
ed to him an interference of the
church with his personal affairs,
caused Father Neurerer to be ar
rested asd thrown into Dachu con
centration camp. There he under
went the brutal treatment accord
ed all the inmates, and particular
ly the priests.
Father Neurerer bore indigni
ties and humiliations with great
courage and so impressed a Pro
testant fellow prisoner that the
later asked to i>e received in the
Church. Somehow the news leak
ed out whereupon Father Neur
urer was thrown into solitary con
finement. Two' days later it was
announced that he had died. It
was fount' that ihe nazi overseers
had hung him by his feet. In ibis
painful position he remained 34
hours, unti' ciaath relieved him of
his sufferings.
