Look at equation (5) on pg. 192. We assumed, that \phi(f) is not zero and that \beta(y) is in L^\infinity. On the other hand, since the map f \to f_y (translation by 'y') is continuous and the function \phi is a continuous functional we have a continuous function on the right hand side. Eq. (5) says that they are the same a.e. Change the value of \beta(y) to (1/\phi(f)) \phi(f_y) for all 'y' at which eq. (5) doesn't hold. You end up with a new \beta function that agrees with the old one a.e. and agrees with (1/\phi(f)) \phi(f_y) everywhere. This latest function is continuous.
Note, that the situation is special since the measure '\beta dm' comes from the Riesz representation theorem and definitely not arbitrary!

Hi
Thanks. I got similar mails from others saying it is
not true. I havnt checked a counterexample yet, but
I'll do it.
In page 192 of Rudin's "Real and Complex Analysis", he
uses a /beta which is in L^/infinity and then he says
(after equation (5)) that by changing /beta(y)on a set
of measure 0 we may assume it is continuous. If you
have some time to spare can u pl. go through this pf
and explain that step?
Thank you very much
regards,
