TO BLOCK HEARING
Justice Bailey Refuses Plea
to Restrain Action of
Radio Board.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An application by the National
Broadcasting Co. for an injunction to
restrain the Radio Commiss on frcm
holding hearings as possible step
toward revocation of licenses was denied
today in the District Supreme Court
Justice Jennings Bailey said, how
ever, he would retain the case and if
it appeared that the commission pro-
ceedings were threatening the National
Broadcasting Co. and other subsidiaries
Of the Radio Corporation of America
with ''irreparable injury" he might
grant the preliminary injunction asked
for.
Reluctant to Interfere.
Justice Bailey said he felt the court
should not interfere with hearings on
licenses of Radio Corporation of Amer
lea subsidiaries, set for next Monday,
unless it became absolutely necessary.
He added that the corporations sub
sidiaries could appeal if the decision
were adverse, but explained he would
intervene in the future if he felt the
situation demanded it.
The case had its origin in a Delaware
Federal Court decision, which held that
the radio corporation had violated the
antitrust laws in a radio tube contract
Under section 13 of the radio act,
concern which attempts a monopoly of
radio communication is denied licenses
The commission directed the hearings
to ascertain whether the Delaware de-
cision said the Radio Corporation
had violated ssGtion 13, and the corp
Grafton sought the injunction to
restrain the proceedings.
Court Battle Looms.
At the hearings beginning Monday,
the commission probably will determine
whether section l3 applies to the Radio
Corporation in view of the Delaware
decision. A lengthy litigation is in
prospect in the event the commission
decides the Radio Corporation has
violated the section
Radio Corporation subsidiaries hold
1,409 licenses and constitute one of the
largest communication systems in the
country
Meanwhile, the Radio Commission
extended until July Is licenses held by
the Radiomarine Corporation of Amer
lea, Radio Corporation subsidiary, for
Is commercial wave length assignments
The action was taken to permit the
stations to continue operation until the
commission decides whether the Radio
Corporation and four subsidiaries have
violated anti-monopoly provisions.
