Bartiey Joins FCC Affer Fight
~ And Riorganization Lay-Off
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — (NEA) — Robert T, Bartley,
nephew of Speaker of the House of Representatives
Sain Rayburn of Texas, and newly appointed mem=
ber of the Federal Communications Commission,
has had a couple of painful previous rhubarbs with
FCC. The full story didn’t get brought out in Senate
hearings on Mr. Bartley’s confirmation for his new
job, so anxious was everyone to see him get it.
Mr. Bartley was a member of the FCC organiza
tion once before, back in 1934-37. That was when
the commission was a three-division outfit, with
one director for telephone service, one for telegraph,
one for radio. Mr. Bartley was the telegraph man.
Then FCC Chairman Frank R. MacNich came
along and reorganized the commission. He abol
ished the three divisions, That threw Mr. Bartley
out of his job, >
But the young man had shown he had stuff and
character. He immediately got a job as assistant to
the president of the Yankee network. Later he be
came its vice-president,
Aftr three years in Boston, which was a good bit
for a Texan, Bartley and wife moved back to Wash
ington, He became interested in frequency-modula
tion broadeasting, and took a job as secretary
treasurer of FM Broadcasters, Inc. -
Later this organization merged with National
Association of Broadcasters. Bartley joined the N.
A. B. organization. During the war he was head of
the association’s war activities,
RIFUSED JOB BECAUSE OF RELATIONSHIP
N. A, B. wanted him to become its legislative
representative in Washington. In other words, its
lobbyist. Bartley refused. Everybody in town knew
he was Sam Rayburn’s nephew. ‘He didn’'t want
anyone to think he was using that blood relation
ship to throw his weight around, trying to influence
legislation favorable to the broadcasters.
That relationship, however, was to get Bob Bart
lev caught right in the middle of a Texas political
feud on his next radio venture. He became inter
ested in a company that filed application with FCC
for a new radio station license in Houston, Texas.
The application lay dormant in FCC files for
many months. It was Uncle Sam Rayburn, this tinre,
who refused to throw his weight around. He had
helped write the FCC law, He could have called up
and told the commissioners that his nephew was
interested in a case pending before them. But he re
fused to do it.
The story came out in an unusual manner, Sit
ting on a House Appropriations subcommittee hand
ling FCC money was Rep. Aibert Thomas of Hous=-
ton. He was known to be a strong supporter of Jesse
Jones, Houston’s n umber-one citizen up to the
time some of the new-rich oil millionaires started
kicking up dust. )
Now it has long been known that there was never
too much love between Speaker Rayburn and Mr.
Janes. So by some not too mysterious turn of events,
one day when FCC Chairman Paul Porter was be
fore the House Appropriations Committee, Rep.
Richard Wigglesworth of Massachusetts was in
spired to ask a question. Did Chairman Porter
know that there was pending before his commis
sion an application for a Houston radio station
license, i@ which the relative of a prominent Dem=
ocratic Party leader was interested.
COMMITTEE IGNITES
“POLITICAL DYNAMITE”
Chairman Porter naturally didn't know what
was being hinted at. But the mere fact that this ap
propriation committee, with life Ind death power
over FCC funs, was interest«( in #his case, was
enough to run up a warning flag. It . ecame politie
cal dynamite.
The rival applicant for this Houston license was
the late Albert W. Lee. He was a Houston man, op
erator of a string of suburban hotels. Later he built
up a network of radio stations.
Bob Bartley’s home, before he came to Washing=-
ton in 1932 to become secretary of the Senate’s
Public Utilities holding company investigation, had
been in north Texas. In the decision which FCC
finally handed down on the Houston application,
the license was granted to the Lee interests. The
reason given was that Houston’s public would be
better served by granting the license to local busi
ness interests, instead of “foreign” ownership.
While the application was pending, the Lee peo
ple tried to get Bob Bartley to withdraw his appli
cation and become their station manager. He turned
it down.
In 1948 he became administrative assistant to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives. He stayed
on that job with his uncle until the FCC appoint
ment fell into his lap.

Taft Defeat Adds Momentum
To Eisenhower Nomination Bid
General Eisenhower's victory over. Senator Taft
in the New Hampshire primary was decisive but
not overwhelming, It will unquestionably encour=-
age the drive to make hime the GOP presidential
nominee, and slow down the rush Taft has been
making toward the same goal.
Let’s try to look at this contest with the cold eye
of the professional politician. I: was the expert’s
advance view that ke and Taft would run quite
close in the New Hampshire popularity vote but
that Eisenhower would win.a substantial majority
of the delegates, perhaps ten to Taft's four. Ballot
ing for delegates was separate.
" The professional opinion was also that Eisen
hower would run best in the cities and Taft best in
the country towns, though Ike was expected to make
a good showing in rural areas, too. How good was
the big puzzle?
Since the country towns normally account for
roughly three-fourths of the New Hampshire pri
mary vote, the answer to this puzzle was crucial.
With the results now in, it is apparent they con
tain some surprises for the professionals. First, the
Eisenhower margin in the popularity contest was
greater than expected. He drew around 55 percent
of the total Eisenhower-Taft vote. Moreover, he
swept all 14 delegates.
Oddly, Ike lost Manchester, the biggest New
Hampshire city, to Taft. And, again somewhat curi
ously, Taft did not run as strong as expected in the
country towns.
Furthermore, bad weather did not have an espec
ially dampening effect upon the vote turnout. As a
matter of fact, the Kepublican vote ran upwards of
92,000, or about 50 percent higher than the total in
the 1948 New Hampshire primary.
it is too early for detailed study of these returns,
but they may ultimately show that the large turn
out was a big factor in the Eisenhower triumph.
Even though he lost Manchester, he evidently did
well in other cities in reasonably heavy polling. Add
to that his better-than-anticipated showing in rural
areas and you have a fair explanation of the out
come.
The test demonstrates that Eisenhower can get
votes, as his backers claim. It does not prove that
Taft cannot get votes. He entered the New Hamp
shire race late, and he was under the handicap of
having all the party’s top brass in the Ike camp,
though he himself had the support of many lower
echelon professionals.
There are many other important battles ahead.
Eisenhower and Taft meet next in New Jersey April
15, and a week later Ike takes on Harold E. Stassen
of Minniesota in the Pennsylvania primary. Mean
time, Taft will have had a chance to display his
strength under more favorable circumstances in
Wisconsin, where Stassen and Governor Earl War
ren of California are his only competitors, and in
Illinois, where just Stassen will challenge,
Nothing that occurred in New Hampshire detracts
from the solid fact that Taft is far out in front in the
struggle to line up actual convention delegates for
the big test at Chicago July 7.
But while it cannot be said that the New Hamrp=
shire outcome arrests the Taft tide, it is the profes=
sional view that it will slow Taft down. From the
Eisenhower standpoint, the important factor here=-
after is momentum. If this victory can be dupli=
cated with similar or greater conclusiveness in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, and then later in Oregon,
the general's forces may be well on the way tdward
building a real drive for him.
Since Taft has been virtually conceded the over=
whelming bulk of Illinois’ delegates, the senator is
now in the position of having to ring up a resound=
ing win in Wisconsin to keep from adding momen=
tunr ot the Eisenhower push.
As the Eisenhower forces laid great stress on
New Hampshire, so has Taft indicated he regards
Wisconsin as the key to his campaign for the nomi
nation. His supporters there now claim 2& to 24 of
the 30 delegates. Anything less than 20 would be
taken as a fall-down. The heat has shifted from
Eisenhower to Taft for the next few weeks.
The decision among competing Republicans has
not yet been taken, nor even indicated. But at least,
the race is now out of the talking stage and into the
realm of vote-counting actin.

Barnum Was Right
Our sympathy goes out to the people of Truth-or
Consequence, N. M. In search for fame which, un
justly, had passed them by, they consented to
change the name of their pleasant town on the
banks of Elephant Butte reserveir to that of a radio
program,
Now that the radio progranr has folded, fame has
proved to be fleeting and t_hey are left with the
most ungainly municipal title of any place west of
Llanfairpwllgwyllgogerychwyrudrobwlllldydsiliogo
goch, Wales.
But while the name of the Welsh village at least
means something (Church of St. Mary in a hollow
of white hazel near to a rapid whirlpool and to St.
Tysilio's church close by a red cave), Truth or Con
sequences no longer has any parti¢ular significance
since Ralph Edwards has stopped shouting over the
airways that, “You haven’t told the truth so you
must pay the consequences.”
We don’t know if the people of Truth or Conse
quences wish they had their old name—Hot Springs
—back again, but we dare say they feel they have
been badly “took.” The next time Truth or Conse
quences changes its name we would suggest: Jum=
botheelephantnamedbyptbarnumwhosaidthereisasu=

Ridgway Is Hopeful About Peace
Chance; Deplores Lengthy Parley
By DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
(Copyright, 1952, by NEA
Service, Inc.)
TOKYO—The man who knows
tl.e most about what’'s going on
out here is optimistic of a peace
settlement in Korea.
Gen. Matthw B. Ridgway, Su
preme Commander of United Na
tions Forces in the ¥Far East, said
in an exclusive interview:
“In the past few weeks I have
found reason to become much
more optimistic about the chances
of achieving an armistice from the
talks at Panmunjom,
“Encouraging signs of their
(the enemy’s) willingness to come
to an agreement have been multi
plying greatly.”
This is the strongest confirma
tion to date of the persistent ru
n ors from Washington, Tokyo and
the Peace Train at Munsan. The
rumors were that somewhere in
the seemingly-endless wrangling
of the negotiators, a major log-jam
had been broken and that a genu
ine cease-fire before Spring was
possible.
Ridgeway spoke with complete
candor, only qualifying his views
by stating that he could only
speculate at this stage and could
not make a flat prediction of a
satisfactory agreement. ’

Ridgway shows little of the
strain he must have been under
since taking command of a badly
mauled and dispirited UN force
Curing December, 1950. He laughs
heartily, smiles frequently and
talks easily to visitors. In fine
physical condition, he has a re
laxed approach to his duties as
commander in a major military
engagement, key figure in peace
negotiations with Japan and boss
of SCAP and the UN {orces fight
ing in Korea.
And he is perfectly willing to
discuss the alternative if the truce
talks break down completely.
“The United States Government,
not I,” he says, “will have to de
cide what to do next in that case.
And that decision will be gov
erned by public opinion,
“If the American pecple want
to shoulder the burden in money
and blood of continued fighting we
are here to carry out their wishes.”
Then he became very grave as he
added: “The public must realize
that you can’t make omelets with
out breaking eggs.”

Ridgway admits the Commun
ists have won two advantages by
prolonging the peace talks.

explained.
And he admitted that the morale

of major fighting to keep them:

“We are losing our keen edge,
and it is natural,” said Ridgway.
“The longer men are away from

putting' forth its maximum with
what it has available. He was also
high in praise of the job that Navy
and Marine air are doing.
Ridgeway had no patience with
criticisms that some commanders
in Korea have let themselves be
come too vulnerable to air attack
by building up large, visible
stocks of supplies and arms and
aircraft.
“When you disperse your forces
as a defense against enemy air
you lose efficiency,” he said. “We
think we have adequate warning
n.ethods in the event of attempted
major air assault on our ground
troops and supplies. 1t could do
damage but it would not be any
where near a paralyzing blow.”
Taking a long look at the Ko
rean fighting, Ridgeway believed
it has proved the soundness of
both the established U. S. tactical
doctrines and the concept of the
balance of forces as determined by
the Joint Chiefs of Staif.
“The only time we really got in
trouble out here,” he said, “was
when we forgot to apply our basic
tactical doctrine correctly.”
