By the Assoclated Press. { CHICAGO, July 20.—An injunction restraining one radio station from in- fringing on the broadeasting time of another station of the same wave length with which it had a time divi- slon has been grantad in Kansas City, but whether the decision will have any effect upon the air confusion re- sulting from a recent ruling that the Commerce Department has no regu- latory authority appeared doubtful. Judge Albert L. Reeves held in Dis- trict Court at Kansas City that a radio broadcasting station having accepted a license from the Government was bound to ogserva the terms of that license. The injunction restrained station WOS, the State Marketing Bu- reau at Jefferson City, from infring- ing on time granted station KLDS, operated by the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints, at Independence, Mo. Holds Power Recognized. Judge Reeves held that the stations in accepting licenses requiring them to yleld a division of time recognized the Federal Government's power to regulate and license radio, that power, he said, being assumed by Congress, acting under the commerce clause of the Constitution. Officials of the Commerce Depart- ment at Washington tentatively ex- pressed the belief that the decision would'have no general value except as to stations having written agree- ments between themselves regarding broas ting hours, while radio fol- lowers here held that it had no bear- ing on the recent Zenith Radio case. The Zenith proprietors are licensed as manufacturers and _experimenters, putting them in a different class from the stations concerned in the Kansas City decision, and in the recent deci- sion here it was held that they had the right to “experiment” on other wave lengths, because they were do- ing research work. Believed Matter Between Stations. It was the decision-in this case which resulted in a large number of stations jumping wave lengths, caus: ing congestion that led Secretary of Commerce Hoover to say here last night that chaos threatens the radio industry. Pending & study of the court opin- jon, the Washington officials made no definite prediction of the ultimate effect of the injunction, beyond say- ing they believed the Commerce De- rtment licenses contained no stipu- tion as to time, leading to the in- ference that the decision affected only the agreement between the two sta- tions. Similar written agreements are held by many broadcasting stations, it was pointed out. The Missourl controversy started when the marketing bureau began radiocasting at hours set for KLDS, the market commissioner contending unsuccessfully that the time-splitting arrangement was made by his p! cessor in office.and was without au- thority of the State. The question of priority on the air was not raised. Stations Asked to Stop “Jumping.” As confusion on the air progressed efforts were made today to bring normaley back to the radio field. The National Assoclation of Broadcasters in New York sent a letter to 536 radio stations throughout the country, ask- ing that they keep to the old power and wave lengths. - The appeal said the jumping of wave lengths tended to shake public confidence and that :;‘wmld Jeopardize the wholé radio ‘Hoover’s pictufe of pres- ent conditions was gloomy, but, re- fusing to blame any one for the situ- ation, he saw relief in t from t directions, the public and Con- gress. “Radio fins are not going to sit idly by and see the programs of their favorite stations impaired by the ac- tion of other stations,” he said, pre- dicting that Congress would pass needed legislation when it reconvenes in December.
