R A D 10 BAIT TIE
IN CONGRESS

A bitter fight over the announced
intention Of the Federal Radio Com.
mission to silence nearly 800 broad
casting stations in a final effort TO
de-heterodyne the ether. appeared
today as one of the certainties OF
the Seventeen Congress.
Charges that the Government is
trying to throttle the little stations
in favor of those with large financial
backing and operated by big cor.
porations, and assertions that free
speech and property rights cannot
be trampled under foot already are
flying in all directions.
Small stations, fearful of the com.
missions big stick. are appealing
to their congressman ito get busy"
TO counteract. the plan to get them
off the air.
Others are considering court fights
in advance of refusal of the COM
mission to give them licenses.
The decapitation process is not
scheduled to be put in effect until
February /. barely a month before
the commission ceases to exist az
a regulatory body, unless Congress
authorizes a continuance of its life
Radio, under the law of 1925,
passes into the control of the Sec.
rotary OF Commerce, in March.
