R. c. A.-MACKAY PLAN
MEETS OPPOSITION
Radio Commission Asks Permission
to Delve Into Corporate Set
up Of Companies.

Questioning the legality Of recent
contractual arrangements entered into
by the Radio Corporation OF America
and the Mackay Radio & Telegraph
Co., the Federal Radio Commission is
endeavoring to reopen the whole CONT
mental short-wave controversy, involv-
ing the use of radio channels for point
to-point service within the United States
in competition with established wire
lines.
In a petition filed with the Court of
Appeals Of the District of Columbia, the
commission asks for authority to delve
deeper into the corporate set-ups of
these two companies before submitting a
proposal whereby certain of these highly
valuable channels shall be parcelled out
to these companies. The case dates
back to 1928 when the now defunct
Universal wireless Communications Co.,
Inc, was granted the lions share of the
available facilities with which it was to
set up Nation n-wide radiotelegraph net
work linking some 120 cities. r. c. A.
and Mackay, protesting this grant, were
successful in the court battle decided last
January in securing an order requiring

THANKSGIVING
SERVICES HERE
Services Will Be Held
This Year In The M. P.
Church

For several years it has been GUS
tomary to hold a community Thanks
giving service on Wednesday even
ing before Thanksgiving Day. This
is done because of the lapse in at
tendance on this special service on
Thanksgiving morning and it was
hoped that more people could find
it convenient to be present on the
evening before.
The custom also is that one of the
other pastors speak and not the pas
tor of the church where the service
is held. Last year the Service was
held in the Presbyterian Church
and Rev. j. L. Nichols, pastor of the
First Methodist Protestant Church
spoke. This year the services will
be held in First Methodist Protest
ant Church and Rev. Frank Herson,
D. D., will speak.
Every pastor in the city is invited
to be present and participate in the
service.
