Judge Says LOS ANGELES (UPI) A federal judge Thursday halted the "family hour trial" over sex and violence on television, saying program makers had failed to find "the smoking gun" that would prove the network ban is government censorship. U.S. District Court Judge a Ferguson told attorneys they should try to compromise out of court and report back to him Tuesday, commenting it may be "utter nonsense to continue the lawsuit." The suit was brought by groups representing television writers, producers, directors and performers against the three major television networks and the Federal Communications Commission. At issue was the "family hour" policy, under which the networks restrict sex and violence in entertainment programs during two hours of evening prime time. The a a charged that the FCC, which is forbidden by law to interfere with program content, illegally pressured the networks into imposing that unprecedented and uncon line was ille- stltutional restrictions that birred him 1 from trying to collect his lo co loses.
