FEC Is Given Until End
OF Month for Action !
On Jackpot Air Shows

If the Federal Communications
Commission is going to crack down
on the current wave of radio give
away programs, it will have to do
80 before September /, it appeared
last night.
Early this month the commission
put out proposed set of new rules
to cut down or eliminate the pro-
grams Friday the House Select
Committee to Investigate the FEC
sent the commissions chairman,
Wayne Coy, a letter pointing out
that Congress has repealed" the
authority under which FEC planned
to act. In the letter. the House
committee counsel, Frank T. Bow,
then asked Mr.. Coy:
"In view of this fact, would you
kindly advise this committee
whether the commission still plans
to proceed in this connection, and
under what authority"
Broadcasters Issue Opinion.
Mr.. Coy had no comment yester-
day, except that he had not received
the letter. Nor would FCC's public
relations officials say anything.
But it was learned elsewhere that
the National Association OF Broad
casters, whose members would be
affected by the proposed rules, is
sued a legal opinion on Friday that
the FEC powers do not end until
September l. In that case the FEC
still has eight weekdays in which
to act.
The FEC rules were proposed
under authority of section 3l6 OF
the FEC act to control broadcast
ing of information concerning
lotteries, gift enterprises or similar
schemes" But just before Congress
quit in June. it passed general
legal codification act which trans
ferred this authority to the Justice
Department. That department could
act in such cases on complaints
from the FEC, it was pointed out.
President Truman signed the act on
June 25.
Trade Reported Relieved.
Mr.. Bow, after sending the letter
to Mr.. Coy, told reporters, I'VE are
taking no position in the matter.
We are merely inquiring what pro-
cedure they are going to follow"
The radio business generally has
been reported relieved at the pros
pect of an end to the give-aWay
programs which have reached as
much as $4,000 worth of merchan-
disc for a correct answer to a single
question.
