McIntire Rally Set to Protest WXUR Probe
by Thomas W. Lippman
Philadelphia Inquirer
February 6, 1966
Supporters of the Rev. Dr. Carl McIntire, controversial minister from Collingswood, will rally in Bristol township, Pa., Sunday to against him by the Pennsylvania Legislature.
Dr. McIntire, pastor of Bible Presbyterian Church, will be there to solicit backers for a “peaceful demonstration” on the steps of the State Capitol in Harrisburg, scheduled for Saturday.
Dr. McIntire, whose fundamentalist religious views and political conservatism are heard on some 400 radio stations across the country, is the director of Faith Theological Seminary in Elkins Park, Pa.
The seminary owns radio station WXUR, in Media, Pa.
STATION ASSAILED
He also heads the board of Shelton College in Cape May.
In December, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution attacking the station, condemning Dr. McIntire, and requesting an investigation of the station by the Federal Communications Commission, Dr. McIntire immediately denounced the action of the Legislature as interference with his freedom of religion and went on his radio network to protest.
The rally Sunday is sponsored by Bucks County’s Americans for Constitutional Education, supporters of conservative causes.
EXTREMISM CHARGED
A spokesman for the group said the Legislature’s action marks “the first time in the history of our country that a State Legislature had condemned a man because of his religion. We feel that this is unconstitutional, no matter what those beliefs are.”
The resolution passed by the House says “the views which the Rev. McIntire expounds are those which we now equate with the word extremism. The danger of such views to the country is selfevident.”
‘FANTASTIC’ RESPONSE
It accused the minister, of “vicious attacks on the National Council of Churches” and questioned whether “he exercises the degree of social and public responsibility the law demands of a broadcast licensee.”
Dr. McIntire fired off a letter to Joshua Eilberg, House majority leader and a co-sponsor of the resolution, saying he is not a resident of Pennsylvania and not the licensee of the station, and therefore it was none of the Legislature’s business.
A spokesman for the House Democrats reported that “more than on any other subject, we have been bombarded with letters on this from supporters of Dr. McIntire.
WRITES TO JOHNSON
“It’s been fantastic. The letters are from Idaho, Arizona, Montana, every place where the Twentieth Century Reformation Hour is heard.”
On the Reformation hour, Dr. McIntire often attacks the National Council of Churches, the Supreme Court, the ecumenical movement, racial demonstrations and radio stations that refuse to carry his program.
He wrote to President Johnson demanding the Democrats cease their “harassment” of his group, and stop spending Federal money to support the ecumenical movement.
A spokesman for the Federal Communications Commission reported last week the investigation of WXUR is proceeding.
