30 =* RADIO LEGAL WAR BECING NEXT WEEK Twenty Cases Await Action by District Court of Appeals. Open season for radio law and radio lawyers begins next week, when the District Court of Appeals reconvenes after an all-Summer recess, with 20 cases awaiting its attention. By far the most important case be- fore the court is that involving the allocation of continental short waves for the creation of point-to-point radio- telegraph networks, but it is likely that this will be the very last of the issues to be taken up by the court. For the most part, the other cases relate to broadcasting, but practically every one of them challenges the constitutionality of the radio act and the authority of the commission to deny their requests. Besides the Court of Appeals cases, radio is still knocking at the door of the Nation's highest tribunal—the Supreme Court_of the United States. The Fed- eral Radio Commission, which lost its| only radio case at the hands of the Court of Appeals when that court ruled that station WGY, at Schenectady, N. Y., should not have been relegated to a limited-time station under the reallo- cation of last November, has appealed to the Supreme Court, seeking a review. The commission has two petitions pending before the Supreme Court, both in the WGY case. One seeks to have the court review the case, and the other asks the court to direct the lower coun‘ to set aside its adverse verdict. Ac-| cording to the commission, the lower court’s decision severely limits the pow- ers of the commission in future cases. and in effect nullifies the sweeping re- allocation, when 94 per cent of the 600- | odd stations on the air were shuffied about. There will be other activity in radio | law, too, within the next few months. | Bethuel M. Webster, jr., general counsel | of the commission, plans to resign at| the end of the year. It is understood clated while with the Department of ustice. Mr. Webster succeeded Louis G. Cald- well as commission general counsel last February. Before he took over the as- signment he served as special counsel for the commission in several of its important radio cases.

It contested the award of the 20 domestic channels to Press Wireless, Inc., on behalf of the press of the coun- P.|try, on the ground that the commission commission has designated Paul D. P. Spearman of its legal staff as second assistant _general counsel. Paul M. Segal of Denver has been first assistant general counsel since last February. Mr, Spearman has been assigned to handle the examination of witnesses at hearings involving modification of broadcasting licenses and applications for new stations held before the com- mission. But he also has been special- izing in general broadcasting appeals, and will argue these cases before the Court of Appeals. For the most part Mr. Segal, who is a radio amateur, has devoted his atten- tion to the short-wave cases. He will direct the commission’s case involving the continental short-wave allocations when arguments are held by the Court of Appeals. In this case the Radio| Corporation of America, through "its communications subsidiary, R. C. A. Communications, Inc.; the Mackay Ra- dio & Telegraph Co., the Intercity Ra- dio Telegraph Co.. the Wireless Tele- graph & Communications €o., and the | Chicago Federation of Labor, all have appealed.
