Sir: It is a source of amazement to me that in a country whose intellectuals mouth freedom, justice, and free enterprise, hardly a voice comes out in protest against either the doings of the unsulting Mr. Newton Minow of the FCC who wishes to "control" free speech, or against the Anti-Trust laws which are actually, in fact, destroying economic freedom. Whether anyone realizes it or not there is a war on against independence, private business and capitalism gen- erally; and the statists within this country and without are most anxious to hasten this war to its destructive conclusion at the expense of these great concepts. The injustices practiced by the FCC and the Anti-Trust law bearings are those very injustices which have led other countries into a totalitarian regime. As a compromise with either of these government instrumentalities into the private sector of American life, business, and culture can only stave-off these issues momentarily, these issues, meanwhile, will have an excellent opportunity to recoup and return with the impetus of an absolute destructive power incapable of compromise itself. It may shock some to know that the authority to enforce these already-written laws are present and are upon us both in the FCC and the Anti- Trust laws, and that it is only a matter of time before some Washington bureaucrat "decides" to enforce them. Today, the Anti-Trust laws and recent decisions are assuring businessmen and potential businessmen they haven't got a chance; they are doomed. Somehow they cannot price on a level with their competitors, nor above or below them. They are liable to be called before a committe, to be judged and sentenced for any one of these practices. who will they call to the guillotine next? The Anti-Trust group and the FCC's *courageous* ch amp, Mr. Minow, both make one important, basic assumption -- that the consumer on the market and the consumer of television have no say on the matter at all. The choice is apparent: either this country wants intellectual freedom and economic freedom or it does not. Jan Jay Rohr Rohs
