ADL Complains to the FCC Against
Anonymous Recorded Phone Messages
The Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith filed a complaint with
the Federal Communications Com-
mission against the use of anony-
mous recorded telephone messages
which make "abusive and extrem-
ist attacks and libels on individ-
uals and institutions." The commis-
sion was asked to initiate proceed-
ings requiring telephone companies
to curb "such flagrant misuse" of
their recorded message service.
The complaint, filed by Arnold
Forster, general ADL counsel, spe-
cifically cited Let Freedom Ring,
a message service founded three
years ago by Dr. William C. Doug-
lass, of Sarasota, Fla., which the
prospectus for the operation de-
scribes as a "non-profit corpora-
tion established to disseminate
anti-Communist, anti-Socialist, pro-
American broadcasts via a tele-
phone tape recording."
The League charges in its com-
plaint that the Let Freedom Ring
scripts consist of "lurid visions of
a 'Communist conspiracy' allegedly
lurking behind civil rights, the
United Nations, the U.S. Supreme
c'; ourt, the last three Presidents
the United States, the State De-
partment, the press, the National
Council of Churches, the American
Civil Liberties Union, and others."
According to Forster, local
purchasers of the LFR service in
over 30 cities from coast to coast
have franchise agreements with
Dr. Douglass to use annually at
least 40 of 52 scripts he provides.
The remaining "broadcasts" may
use material based upon local
issues.
Excerpts from "typical scripts"
cited included:
"America will soon be in a posi-
tion of hopeless military inferiority
to the beast of Russia because of
deliberate disarmament by traitors
in the Johnson administration."
"Another fact ignored by the
press is that the Communist-lining
National Council of Churches is
openly promoting bloodshed
through armed revolution by Ne-
groes."
"At the University of Michigan a
plan is being developed for the
systematic house-to-house search of
the entire United States for arms
of any kind. The search is to be
made by the U.S. Army by block-
ing off five states at a time, begin-

and the Federal High court order-
ed the re-trial.
About 140 witnesses have been
called for the second trial. Fifty
are from Israel, and the others
from the United States, France,
Canada and Austria.
In Dusseldorf, four officers in
Hitler's SS, including Lambert,
were sentenced to life imprison-
ment at hard labor—West Ger-
many's maximum sentence for
any crime—and five others were
given terms ranging from three
years to 12 years as the district
court concluded the 10-month-
long trial of 10 Nazis charged
with murdering 700,000 Jews at
the Treblinka death camp. The
tenth defendant was acquitted.

The League pointed out that
while telegraphed messages are
usually restricted in their dissem-
ination to a single or a limited
number of recipients, Western
Union is, by court decision, held
responsible for "spurious mes-
sages." Telephone companies, it
said, are not held responsible for
recorded messages despite the fact
that in some cities they have "a
greater daily audience than many
radio broadcasts."
"Let Freedom Ring seems to
have had a natural appeal for peo-
ple in the John Birch Society who
use it as a tool for propaganda
and recruitment," Forster said.
Calling Let Freedom Ring "a
vicious activity protected by anony-
mity," Forster said there is
at present no way to stop the use
of a public communications medium
for spreading "false and treacher-
ous propaganda."
Cities now carrying recorded
messages include Detroit.
