And lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about
them; and they were sore
afraid.** Luke 2:9.
Have you ever noticed that this
is a strange passage of scripture?
Picture with me the shepherds out
in the field watching their sheep
when suddenly a great light be
gins to shine around them. We
would think that when the “‘glory
of the Lord shone round them,”
that they would rejoice and be
happy, but this is not what the
Bible says. It says they were
afraid. What frightened them ?
What made them afraid? Were
they not afraid because they did
not know what to expect next?
Men are always afraid during
times of indecision and ignorance
of what is going on. The man who
discovered that the earth revolves
around the sun caused indecision
and they killed him. One day a
man proved the earth to be round
rather than flat and man became
afraid of his new knowledge, and
this same principle exists today.
In our modern day civilization
many are afraid that a man of

A few weeks ago, I called your
attention to a recent directive of
the Federal Communications Com
mission which threatens the con
tinuity of free speech over radio
and television. If the time comes
when you can hear ahd see only
what the Federal Government
wants you to see and hear, all
hope for the preservation of your
personal liberty in an independent
America will have disappeared
forever.
The literal interpretation of the
FCC directive of July 26th, will
make it impossible for radio and
television stations to air a Contro
versial commentary, such as is of
ten heard over the Manion Forum
radio network.
Incidentally, this is . the condi
tion of radio and television broad
casting in Communist countries to
day. In recent weeks, our broad
casts have been cancelled by sta
tions which do not have the staff
and facilities to comply literally
with the directive of the FCC’s
July order.
This is a most effective form
of Federal censorship. Thus, one
station declined to air our Octo
ber 27th broadcast, but felt per
fectly safe in substituting a rec
ording by Dr. Walt W. Rostow,
the chief planning officer of the
another race, creed, or economic
group might move too fast to
claim his unalienable rights. Much
of our world confesses to believe
in God but we are afraid to love
our enemies. We are afraid to
stand up for right and against
that which we know to be wrong.
But Jesus did not come into
this world to bring fear or inde
cision, but rather he came to
bring certainty and strength. Lis
ten to the announcement of his
birth: “Fear not; for behold, I
bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all people.’*
In this Christmas season God is
wanting to give each one of us two
gifts. The first gift is fajth thru
prayer. He said “Ask and ye shall
receive, seek and ye shall find,
knock and it shall be opened unto
you.” The second gift is an assur
ance of his presence at all times.
At this season let us not be a-
fraid of the glory of God, but
rather let us magnify it by ac
cepting it and living it every min
ute of every day.
Are you listening?
State department.
When the Federal Communica
tions Act was passed, Congress
made it plain that the resulting
broadcasting stations were res
ponsible to exercise a freedom
comparable in all respects to the
traditional and constitutional free
dom of the press.
The July 26th directive appears
to be designed primarily to serve
in implementing the Reuther
memorandum of 1961 in which the
Reuther brothers advised the At
torney General that pressure
should be brought to bear against
broadcasters and their use of pro
grams and materials which re
flected the Conservative viewpoint.
The public has been long sub
jected to the barrage of left-wing
broadcasters and if the so-called
“Fairness Doctrine” is to be ap
plied by the FCC against Conser
vative broadcasts, it would be well
to begin applying the doctrine
with the network broadcasting of
the monopoly which these net
works have on national broadcast
ing.
News management has appeared
to be one of the key techniques of
the New Frontier. In ordering the
broadcosters to offer free time
to “responsible groups within the
community” to argue against any
conservative views expressed in a
broadcast, the FCC apparently re
served to itself the determination
of what constitutes “an issue of
current importance” and what is
a “responsible group.* *
This ruling has the effect of
stifling criticism of Federal gov
ernment policies. Most broad
casters cannot afford to open their
facilities without cost to anybody
who wants to defend the Admin
istration and they must therefore
also bar from paid time those who
want to criticize that Administra
tion. Consequently, the FCC rul
ings must be considered as calcul
ated moves to manage the flow of

news and to violate the constitu
tional guarantees of freedom of
speech.
Inevitably this will mean that
the people will be given only the
news, and only the interpretation
of the news, which meet with the
approval of the central govern
ment in Washington. And that is
the same, exact way in which com
munications are managed behind
the Iron Curtain.
It is fundamental to our system j
of government that all persons
should be able to express their
views freely and fully. This guar
antee is written into the First
Amendment of the Constitution.
Everyone, including Federal and
State officials, should be zealous
to preserve this basic right.
Any policy which has the re
sults of shutting off free speech
and free expression of opinion is,
of course, censorship and a viola
tion of the First Amendment.
The July 26th directive was in
tended to strike a death blow at
the Conservative broadcasters. As
Reuther said, “This is the quick
est way to turn the tide now run
ning in their favor.”
The FCC directive would in ef
fect give control of TV and radio
programs, to a Federal bureau.
The stations themselves would
shy from broadcasting any pro
gram critical of the Administra
tion’s policy on any matter be
cause of the fear of being bom
barded for free time by those who
disagree. The station’s solution,
may be to refuse to accept any
paid or free broadcast that criti-
zes any Federal Government pol
icy. This is a flagrant violation of
the First Amendment to the U, S.
Constitution.

Here's why you'll tell other people you like it
Wide-Track, for instance. Wide-Track is what
does away with tilting your way around turns.
Pontiac's smoother, quieter ride is another
thing you might point out. A big 389-cubic-
inch Trophy V-8 is standard in each and
every Pontiac. You get to choose from 34
engine/ transmission teams to harness all that
power. (Happy choosing!)
Now then—on to more of the things that
make the '64 Pontiac so thoroughly likeable.
Frankly, we couldn't think of anything radical
to do with this car. Oh, we made the styling
even more stylish, as you can plainly see.
We lavished even more care on the interiors.
We even improved the light bulbs. But as for
more vital things, why change? Improve, re
fine, sharpen —yes. Change —no. And you
can tell that to your friends.
