ASSOCIATED PRESS IS
AGAINST CASE WITH
RADIO STATION NEWS
--
(By The Associated Press)
SEATTLE, Dec. 19 — Even acknowledging that evi
dence submitted seemed to indicate that Radio Station
KVOS at Bellingham had “pirated” news belonging to the
Associated Press, Federal Judge John C. Bowen, Tuesday
refused to enjoin the station from making such use of dis
patches published by newspapers.
He held that the Associated Press and its member news
papers have “no property right or any time limits whatever
in news reports, after they are published.”
He also dismissed the temporary order restricting KVOS
from using Associated Press dispatches, taken from the Bell
ingham Herald, the Seattle Times and the Post Intelligencer.
He also held that they might pick up local news after
the same had been distributed to the public ina regular man
ner. 4
The court held: “The improved method ot disseminat
ing news “must not'be discarded for the usage of private en
terprise unless such hindrances be required by positive ^w
or clear contract.’”
The Judge remarked that Congress must “abridge pub
lic interest in favor of private enterprise’” before a finding
could be made in favor of restricting the broadcasting of
Associated Press news; but he added, “Congress has not
seen fit to do so. The said case might be different if KVOS
was selling the news taken from the Associated Press news
papers, to other broadcasters.”
The Associated Press contended that the broadcasting
of their news enhanced the value of advertising on the radio,
because the public would listen in with the expectation of
hearing news reports, and would be exploited by broadcast
ing advertising. The court said that the station broadcast
ed news free of charge, whereas the newspapers get paid
for both papers and advertising.
Previous decisions by the United States Supreme Court
held that the Associated Press and its member papers had
the exclusive rights to news, up to twenty-four hours after
its publication.

ABROGATING NAVAL
TREATY BY JAN. 1ST
(By The Associated Press)
TOKYO, Dec. 19 — The Japanese Privy Council, the
highest consultative body in the realm, today unanimously
advised Emperor Hirohito to abrogate the Washington Naval
Treaty of 1922.
Many thoughtful Japanese leaders considered the step
as one representing the virtual confirmation of the decision
arrived at long beforehand. They also considered it the most
significant step which the Empire has taken since the World
War.
The actual date for the notification of the United States
Government was not made known, but it is believed that it
will be postponed until the week between Christmas and
New Years. Two years must follow the notice of abroga
tion before the present 5-5-3 Naval ratio between the United
State, Great Britain and Ja{^n, can be formally abandoned.
