COURT REvERSES
FEC ON PERMIT

Reversing a decision of the Fed.
eral Communications Commission,
the Court of Appeals today ruled
that the Pottsville BroadcaSting
Company, of Pottsville, Pa, of
which Charles D. Drayton, a
Washington lawyer, is president
and principal stakeholder, should
be granted a permit to construct
a broadcaSting station in the
Pennsylvania city.
The commission had denied
Drayton's application first on the
grounds that a sufficient showing
of financial responsibility had not
been made, since the entire enter
prise was contingent upon ap-
prevail of the, stock issuance by the
Pennsylvania Securities Commits
sion.
The second ground for refusal
was that Drayton is not a citizen
of Pottsville and was not familiar
with the needs of the radio lis
teners of that section.
The Court of Appeals, in its
opinion by Chief Justice D. Law.
renee Groner, rejected the second
grounds for refusal although it
did not make use of that ground
in reversing the commission.
