RADIO TUBE CASE
HEARING July e.
Complaint Against Alleged
Monopoly to Come Before
Trade Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Trade Commission will
have a hearing July % on the COM
plant 1t recently filed against the Radio
Corporation of America. charging an
attempt to monopolize the radio tube
business,
Meanwhile the Trade Commission has
granted the Radio Corporation an OPP
portunity TO be heard by the full COM
mission on motion to dismiss the origi-
nal case against the corporation which
has been pending for several years.
Basis Of Complaint.
The tube complaint Is based on Arti-
Gle 0 OF the patent license agreements
Of the corporation. Under that article
the smaller radio manufacturers licensed
under royalty agreements to the r. G.
A, circuit patents are required to equip
their sets initially with n, G. A. tubes.
The tube agreement Is declared In
the complaint to monopolize the tube
trade In excluding all other producers
and sellers from supplying, this equip
ment. The complaint also charges
tends TO and does exclude all other
producers and sellers Of vacuum tubes
from selling their product for renewal
or replacements in said sets. the pur-
chasers and owners of said sets natural
ly seeking for replacement the same
make of tubes as installed in the sets
at original purchase"
Claims Lapse of Rights.
1t Is pointed out that the three -ele-
ment tube iS an essential part of any
radio receiving set. Through the pool
ing and cross-licensing Of radio patent
rights among the General Electric,
Westinghouse, American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. 1t is said these
companies, prior to the expiration of
patents covering the essential elements
OF these tubes. claimed exclusive rights
to their manufacture. But, the COM
plant contends. said patents expired
in 1924 and 1925 prior to the granting
OF said license agreements Since the
expiration OF said patents the manufac-
ture OF said tubes has been open to
the public"

INEQUALITY IS SEEN
IN new RADIO LAW
Several States May Be Hit by
Reallocations, Manufac-
turers Assert.

Application of the 1923 amendment
to the radio act which provides for
equal ALLEGATION of broadcasting sta
tions and power among the five zones
Of the country, may result in inequality
among several OF the States.
The National Association Of Electri-
cal Manufacturers has called the at
tention of the Federal Radio Commits
sion to the fact that Texas with pop
ulation of 5,400.000 and an area OF
225, 900 square miles is granted only
80 per cent OF the national total oil
channels, licenses, power and time while
California with 4,433, 900 population
and an area less than 5000 square
miles is granted 80 per cent Of the
entire national radio facilities.
This is due to the fact that Califor.
MAS population margin over other
States in the NTH zone is much larger
