Ipana Troubadours, WEAF,* IS DROPPED HERE /fTwo Cases Questioning Com- '+ mission’s Power Are Left i on Docket. Statlon WGL of the International Sroadcasting Corporation, New York, ‘has withdrawn its suit in the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia appealing from the declsion of the Federal Radio Commission denying it the use of the wave length already mssigned WOR, Newark. This leaves facing the commission in the courts only two legal actions, neither of which is expected to be taken up be fore late autumn. Preliminary advices received here stated no reasons for the decision of the WGL managers, whe suit was expected to test the constitutionality of the radio act of 1927 and to bring {a” showdown on the powers of the commission under the act. Denied its application for a place on the 710- kilocycle frequency (422.3 meters), Sta- tion WGL contended that the radio act was unconstitutional in that it limits the use of facilities on which large sums of money had been spent, and that the commission's power to assign Wave lengths without a p 4 dnary hearing amounted to conti tion. Opposing Counsel Disappointed. Thé New York station ob, its assignment to 1,020 kilocy: meters), which it deemed sirable wave than 710. It erating on 1,020, in comj its June 15 license stipulation Members of the commission and their Department of Justice attorn; B. M. Webster and P. R. Chandler, bhad no comment to make on the an- nouncement of the proposed with- drawal. Frank D. Scott, former mem- ber of Congress, who is attorney for ‘WOR, expressed disappointment, how- ever, that the station would not pur- sue its case, inasmuch as it was to De a test of the law, which he helped write while serving on a House com- ‘mittee last session. The case of WBER, owned by the People’s Pulpit Association, Rossville, N. Y., also appealed to the Court of Appeals, does not involve a constitu- tional phase, although WMSG, New York, the other complainant against & commission ruling, brings in the point of property rights under the Constitution. Station WBRR de- nied its application for the -kilo- cycle frequency (4543 meters), on which WJZ, New York, is operating, and is carrying its the ground that the commission has | no power to order a change in fre- quency from one it previously had been authorized to use. Case May Be Dropped. Station WMSG of the Madison Square Broadcasting Co., New York, filed its case in a court of first in- stance, namely, the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and then agreed to hold up this suit while it Joined with WGL as an "“amicus curia,” or “friend of the court,” since the issues involved in its case and ‘WGL'’s were much the same. It ob- Jected to being shifted to 1,270 kilo- cycles (236.1 meter: ‘Whether WMSG will go ahead with its case, which was deferred by agree- ment until October, is doubtful, ac- cording to unofficial advices. But the owners of WBBR have indicated their iIntention of prassing their case, which is to come up when the Court of A |peals resumes its sittings in Octobe: (Accordingly, the prospects. are that ‘only the one case will face the com- ymission, and that it will be one which ‘will not attempt to test the consti- tutionality of the new radlo law. The companion station to WBER, Station WORD, Batavia, Ill., operated by the same- Interests, has just been granted a hearing before the commis- sion August 9 on its application for a shift from its assignment on 1,090 kilocycles (275.1 meters), using 5,000 iwatts. to 720 kilocycles (416.4 meters), !on ‘which WIBO and WHT, both Chi- {eago, divide time, and on which {KFLR, Albuquerque, N. Mex., also |operates. Moreover, this frequency 48 only 10 kilocycles away from WOR, |which expects_to increase soon to ‘B,ODD watts; KPO, San Francisco, lwith 1,000 watts, and WSUI, Iowa City, 500 watts, | A concert by the George Washing- ton University String Quartet and a two-piano recital by Harry Wood- ward and Walter Hiltabidle, two at- itractions of local origin, are featured {tonight by WRC. The string quartet \composed of Herman Weike, Seymour {Rosenberg, Paul Gropp and Spencer !Prentlss, will give its program from 8:30 to 9 o'clock. The two-piano re- ‘eital will follow.

CHICAGO, August 3.—The radio has achieved new fame—spreading a fire alarm. It happened in Chicago Monday as a crowd of flremen were gath- ered about the loud speaker at thelr headquarters listening to an announcer tell of the Cubs’ ball game. Suddenly the announcer broke into his account with the re- port that he could see the roof of a nearby house bursting in flames. Without waliting for further alarm, the firemen jumped on their trucks, and were at the scenoe be- fore the regular alarm was turned in. LocalRadio Entertainment Wednesday, August 3, 1927 .
