Justification for continuing the ad-

Commission for several more years, and
perhaps indefinitely, is seen by some
observers in its decision to curtail the
number of broadcasting stations.
1t is fully anticipated that the COM
mission will now find itself SO mex
tricably involved in injunction processes
and lawsuits that it will have to be
clothed by Congress with authority to
carry it beyond the scheduled date for
It's administrative demise, which is

The reduction order, of course, is
going to call down the wrath of many
members of Congress whose constituent
station owners must suffer. Moreover,
there is an aversion In the present ad-
ministration against the creation of new
permanent agencies of the Government
But it is noteworthy that new Fed

is worth noting also that the terms OF
the present commissioners all expire
next year under the amended radio act.
Permanent Control Needed.
AS an appeal body, the commission
next year is supposed to hear COM
plants against the orders of the De-
partment of Commerce, which is to re-
sumo control of radio in March of next
year under the law These appeals are
to be taken to 1t before going to the
courts. There is strong belief within
the Department of Commerce, how
ever. that control will never revert to

q task of such magnitude that perma-
