eral Communications Commis
sion, opposing renewal of the
station’s license, presents the
predominantly liberal FCC with
an interesting problem in free
speech and the “fairness, doc
trine. ”
Cooley is one of three old
war horses of the House who
last year went to battle once
too often. Joe Martin fell in
Massachusetts, Howard W.
Smith lost his saddle in Vir
ginia. In the 4th District of N.
C., Cooley made the mistake
of running against James C.
Gardner, former state Repub
lican chairman.
In the view of experienced
North Carolina observers, the
outcome never was in doubt.
Cooley had come to the House
in July, 1934, he had served
16 terms, gained the chairman
ship of House Agriculture, es
tablished himself as a power
ful figure on the Hill.
He was known as “Scab,”
after the character in Allen
Drury’s “Advise and Consent”
and sometimes as Sugar King,
in tribute to his mastery of
the recurring sugar bill. But
while he ruled his fractious
committee in Washington, a
generation grew up in Raleigh
that knew him not. Cooley was
a cantankerous 69, Gardner a
vigorous 33. Even the gerry-
manding of the district, in an
effort to rope in additional
Democrats, was not enough to
save the aging warrior. Down
he went.
The turning point of the
campaign came on the evening
of October 3, when Cooley and
Gardner appeared in joint de
bate before a large audience at
N. C. State University in Ral
eigh. The evening proved to be
Cooley’s Dunkirk. Gardner had
come prepared with material
calculated to please a young
and intellectual audience. Cool
ey had brought little more
than his own considerable ego.
Where Gardner was light, Cool
ey was heavy; where Gardner
was crisp and incisive, Cooley
was slow and clumsy. By the
time the exchange ended the
students were cheering Gard
ner and jeering Cooley. In brief
—a debacle.
WRAL-TV routinely filmed
the program. Now, the moving
spirit of the Raleigh station is
its staunchly conservative ex
ecutive vice president, Jesse
Helms. His ringing right-wing
editorials, plainly identified as
such, offer about the only com
petition for miles around to
the liberalism of the Raleigh
News & Observer. There never
is any question on where Helms
stands: He stands slightly to
the right of John C. Calhoun.
Cooley’s charge that WRAL-
TV caused him “irreparable
damage” by leasing its film of
the October 3 debate to Gard
ner for a paid political broad
cast. The station’s response is
that Cooley could have leased
the same folm, at the same ren
tal, if he wanted to. Cooley
charges that WRAL-TV en
gineers helped Gardner edit
the raw tape for effective
broadcast. The station denies
this absolutely.
The former congressman’s
most serious charge is that in
its newscasts, the station
sought deliberately to aid his
opponent. He has filed four
letters with the FFC to sup
port that charge, one of them
from a lady who seems to be
generally mad at WRAL - TV
because it shows Westerns in
the afternoon. By way of ans
wer, the station has filed a
score of letters from leading
Democrats who supported Mr.
Cooley in the campaign.
Thad Eure, secretary of state
worked for Cooley’s election,
but “at no time did I see or
hear anything over your station
during the entire campaign
that, in my opinion, would jus
tify the protest.” Edwin Gill,
State treasurer, found WRAL
“fair and just to each of the
candidates.” State Sen. Robert
Morgan described the coverage
as “fair and equal.” Labor
Commissioner Frank Crane,
who did “everything possible
for Cooley,” was shocked by
Cooley’s petition to the FCC;
he had regarded the station’s
campaign reporting as “ abso
lutely fair and unbiased.”
So the record stands. On
January 25, still using his sta
tionery as chairman of House
Agriculture, ex-Congressman
Cooley wrote the FCC, insist
ing upon a full hearing on
the station’s license renewal.
The license expired in Decem
ber. The station’s very exist
ence lies wholly in the hands
of the FCC.
To judge from the station’s
precisely detailed exhibits,
WRAL took painstaking care
to give both candidates equal
coverage on its news programs.
It offered them the same free
time, and the same opportunity
to buy paid time. Tho Helms
was critical of Cooley, the
station did not editorially sup
port Gardner. What happened
was that “Seab”„ from the mo
ment of the October debate,
presented the image of a loser.
And as it turned out, a poor
and graceless looser at that.
