LICENSE
AT SALISBURY
IS REVOKED
On The Grounds That False
Statements Were Made AS
To Financial Responsibility
ONLY SMALL AMOUNT
OWNED BY LICENSEE

The broadcasting station at Sails
bury seems to be in, at least, tenn
porary trouble, as, according to pub
lished accounts, the stations license
has been revoked, on the ground that
false statements on financial assets
and other matters were made in OBJ
tanning authority to operate; the Ii
cense is held by Frank M. Stearns.
In disclosing this action, which was
taken after an extended inquiry into
the stations setup and finances, the
Federal Communications Commission
also sounded a warning to persons
who act as "mere figureheads" for
others who desire to conceal their
interests.
The WSAL case has attracted in
terest in broadcasting circles, as part
of the FCC's examination of stations
believed to be controlled by persons
who did not figure openly in the ap-
plication for licenses.
Last October the FEC issued rev.
ocation order for WSAL, but conduct
ed hearings in the case upon the re-
quest of Stearns. It's announcement
of this week stated that it was af-
firming it's order in revoking the Ii
cense.
The applicant for a permit to con-
struct and operate broadcast station
WSAL made false statements under
oath both in the original application
and the hearing thereon" the COM
mission asserted.
MANY of such statements involve
matters of fact concerning the appli-
cant's financial qualifications which,
if the truth had been revealed, would
have shown applicant. not financially
qualified and would have compelled
the commission to refuse to grant the
license upon the original application"
Stearns testified, during the hear
ing on the revocation order, that only
$40 among the $4,000 he had listed
as assets represented his own money.
Several thousand dollars of the list
ed assets belonged to his wife, he
said, and $4,000 was controversial
item which Stearns said had been de-
posted in a Washington bank by Jas.
w. Gum, an attorney. Gum denied
this, however.
Evidence brought out at the hear
ing also indicated that Glenn D. Gil
lett, radio engineer, owned mort
gage which gave him actual control
over the station.
The FCC's announcement dealt only
with Stearns, the holder of the Ii
cense. Whether further action in the
case is contemplated was not disclos-
ed.
