Doerfer of the Federal Communications Commission today urged radio and television broadcasters to editorialize on controversial issues. At the same time he delivered several slaps at newspaper editors, some of whom have been critical of the FCC during the recent congressional investigation and in the public debate over pay-TVI | Broadcasters, Doerfer said, are required to present both sides of an issue. But newspaper editors are free to be “hasty, careless, vindictive, or callous to accepted standards of fairness, ’’ he said. -“This concept of an obligation to be fair and to actively seek out and present opposing views by responsible people may come as quite a shock to some newspaper editors,” the FCC chairman observed. In calling, on commentators and news broadcasters to do more "editorializing’’ Doerfer said it would be a “refreshing experience” for many people who have been the “captive readers” of local newspapers. He made the remarks in a speech prepared for the National Association of Broadcasters The government is paying for Doerfer’s expenses to the NAB convention, as well as those of five other FCC members. A spokesman said Doerfer will not receive an honorarium dr fee for today’s address. Doerfer p r ais e d newspaperowned stations. “Unlike some of their publications," he said, “they indicate an objectivity and a fairness which is commendable.” 1 .. ~■ J - b l\ x Gifts & Greetings for You —through WELCOME WAGON from Your Friendly Business Neighbors and Civie and Social Welfare Leaders Os 9eeation 9ft The Birth of • Baby Sixteenth Birthdays EngngementAnnouncemente Change of residence Arrivals of Newcomen to Decatur Phofie 3-3196 or 3-4335

Minister Is Upheld > In Factional Fight *. Indiana High Court Orders New Trial INDIANAPOLIS (UP)-The Indiana Supreme Court ruled today that the former pastor of a Rush County church violated neither church doctrine nor Bible teachings in preaching against policies of an opposing church faction. The high court reversed a ruling in Rush Circuit Court and Ordered a new trial in the ease of the Rev. O. George Stansberry in a 10-year-old dispute between his followers and an opposing group of Brookville Christian Church members. The pastor and his followers were sued on grounds the Rev. Stansberry preached against the church's “cooperative” movement and wrongfully conspired to keep his faction in control of church property. The pastor’s opponents advocated denominational unity and cooperation with missionary movements. The suit accused the Rev. Stansberry of improper tactics to influence a church election in 1948. It said nominations for officers were refused from the floor, ballots were distributed unfairly, and “during the argument and confusion the pipe organ was played so loudly it was impossible to conduct the meeting.” The Rush court ruled the pastor and his followers violated fundamental church doctrine and therefore were not entitled to church control. The Supreme Court ruling, written by Judge Norman Arterburn, agreed that the Rev. Stansberry’s methods during the 1948 meeting violated Christian principles “To say the least it showed a breach of trust and confidence placed in him by reason of his position to act impartially and fairly towards all members,” Arterburn wrote. * But he denied that the pastor’s views on intra-denomination "cooperation" violated basic church doctrine and constituted a "perversion of property.” t “Cooperation is a man-made principle not specifically mentioned in the New Testament," Arterburn wrote. “Many churches 100 years ago,” he said, “objected to dancing, cigarette smoking and many other customs and practices that today by many of the same churches are considered of minor impor- ' tance.” Romney, W.
