BY MARTIN CODEL. An effort to tie up 11 of the largest broadcasting stations in the United States received a setback today when the Federal Radio Commission declared what virtually amounts to a “hands- off” policy in the “radio trust” con- troversy An opinion rendered for the commis- sion by its chief counsel, Louis G. Cald- well, asserted that the radio control |body was powerless to revoke the li- | censes of the stations merely because certificates from such bodies charges that a station has failed to pro- vide reasonable facilities for radio com- munication or has made unjust charges or has been guilty of undue discrimi- nations. Co., now out of broadcasting, was men- tioned in the charges because it is a party to the patent agreements under | attack. | License “Debs” Station. ‘The commission dismisses the charges of discrimination against independent broadcasters and favoritism toward the | stations cited in the matter of power ‘a“ignm(‘nlfl by stating that these | charges are “based upon a misunder- standing of the effect of high power and represents the views of those who are not famillar with the principles of engineering.” While the adoption of the legal opin- jon dismissing the “trust” charges was | the most. important action of the com- | mission today, several other important | decisions were reached. One insured a license renewal after September 1 to station WEVD. operated by the Social- ists at New York under a memorial fund established in memory of Eugene Thursday, August 23, 1928 The American Telephone & Telegraph | NAA—Washington Navy Yard (4345 Meters—8: 90 Kilocycles). 3:45 p.m. 9:55 p.m.—Arlington time signals. 10:05 p.m.—Weather Bureau reports.

The fight against the cross-licensing of patents |and other agreements between the large | concerns involved has ‘been going on |n Congress, before the Federal Trade | Commission and in the courts for sev- eral years.
