Washington is the Federal city

management of the Government has
been the best possible under the
circumstances. To the general pub

Mr.. Stefan also said there is some

Calling attention to a legislative

here, he declared:
Each year the committee is con-

of Maryland and Virginia profit to a
great extent by the appropria tions
we make here. The free tuition to
students from other States relieves
the taxpayers of Virginia and Mary

Mr.. Paley said that the networks
would not be able to do as well in
the future as they have in the past
If the new Communications Com
mission rules become effective. He
advocated that the new law set up
a commission which has no author

c. c., today regulates radio, tele-
phony, telegraph and cables.
Mr.. Paley said:
mo one foresaw when the radio
law was first enacted that network
broadcasting would become such
major part of radio in America. No
one dreamed that broadcasting as a
whole would assume the social and
cultural Importance it has today,
or would become the greatest single
medium of mass entertainment.
while all this has been happening
the commission seems to have been
obsessed in its whole thinking by
the fact that it is radio stations and
not networks that hold the licenses.
That is why I said to you at the
very outset that I think the time
has come when the Congress should
recognize the validity of networks
and should license them.

admits it, network broadcasting is
