SUPREME COURT
/. TO HEAR WGY CASE
Grants Commission a Review
Involving Many Major
Radio Law Points.
BY MARTIN CoDEL.

Final adjudication by the Supreme
Court of the United States of the now
famous WGY case, involving many
points Of the radio law and raising sew
eral questions about the way it is being
administered, is assured with the grant,
ing Of the Federal Radio Commissions
petition for a review of the case. The
suit will probably be argued some time
in December.
In agreeing to pass judgment on the
first case testing the Federal radio au-
thority ever to come before it, the
Supreme Court will review a decision of
the Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia. That tribunal last February
ruled against the order of the Federal
Radio Commission limiting the opera
tons Of Station WCY, Schenectady. un-
der the broadcaSting reallocation OF
November, 1928.
To Test Boards Power.
The sweeping reallocation order, af-
fecting radio reception throughout the
United States, and the Davis eQualiza-
ton amendment, under which it was
Effected, will thus be subjected to the
scrutiny of the highest court of the
land. The suit over the rights of WGY
itself is Of secondary Importance to the

In clarifying the law and the power
Of the commission to administer 1t, the
Supreme Court will help guide the fu-
tIIre administration of radio. Not the
least important question that may arise
Is whether q radio station can acquire
property, priority or vested rights in

length was one Of the eight cleared
channels that should be assigned, under
the equal division OF channels, for ex-
elusive nighttime use by stations in
the Western zone
The station sued for unlimited opera
ton on the channel and was upheld,
chiefly on its public service merit, by
the appellate court Accordingly, the
commission was ordered to permit WGY
to continue operating on the channel
under the terms of its previous license.
In the reallocation another station
owned by General Electric, KGO, Oak
land, Calf. had been assigned the same
channel. Today both are operating on
the same channel with high power, adj
mittedly causing interference with each
other, though the interference is not
felt In the immediate vicinity Of either
station
The effect has been to give the first
zone, In which WGY is situated, only
seven cleared channels. The fifth zone
likewise has only seven. This disparity
in the original reallocation continues,
most listeners living outside the imme-
date service ranges of both stations can
tune-in on their mutual wave length.
Case Extremely Involved.
Since the scarcity of wave lengths
makes all radio assignments relative
and complexities the scientific problem
of keeping channels free from hetero-
dyne interference, the case was ex-
tremely involved.

the court on behalf of WGY, did not

 The footman could tell the in- spector very little more than Car ter. But the little was important. He had been on duty in the hall all the afternoon. He admitted , the inspector and the constable. After them, nobody The last be- fore them was MT Pell. The footman had not shown Pell to the library, as he knew the way i very well. The others were fa- miliar with the room and the min Iute or two necessary to take me to the library and to return was the only time the hall had been left unattended since a quarter to three. On his way back to the hall he had seen no one.
 Although one could certainly en- ter the house through the kitchen or the conversatory at the other lend from the library, no one could reach the corridor without
 passing through the hall. So that, it seemed proven, in the two min Iutes while I was being escorted to the library, two persons entered the house. One was Laxton, the
 other person responsible for Lax tons present condition.
 Wayne had a platefull-a mur-

 whom, in his suspicion, might have done it. And now an unconscious
 man, apparently the victim of an-
 other outrage.

 GO and see what it is, Sander son. and report back here alone Nobody else is to enter this room. Wayne faced us across high mountain of suspicion. If this was a trick, he seemed to say, the tricksters should discover that Wayne was not a man to be played with.
 Put it was no trick. The con stable came back within min ute, and said something to Wayne. The inspector answered.:
 "Very well, I'll go. Keep guard Sanderson. These gentlemen are to stay as they are-Dr. Eastley, will you please come with me?" The minutes went on-two, four There was a scuffle of footsteps outside. Wayne's voice called te the policeman to open. Wayne came in first, walking backwards He carried the shoulders of heavy man. Eastley appeared holding him under the knees.
