An application by the National Broadeasting Co. for an injunction to restrain the Radio Commiss’‘on frem holding hearings as a possible step toward revocation of licenses was denied today in the District Supreme Court.

Justice Bailey said he felt the court should not interfere with hearings on licenses of Radio Corporation of Amer- ica subsidiaries, set for next Mond: | unless it became absolutely necessa He added that the corporation's sub- sidiaries could appeal if the decision | were adverse, but explained he would intervene in the future if he felt the situation demanded it. ‘The case had its origin in a Delaware Federal Court decision, which held that the radio corporation had violated the anti-trust laws in a radio tube contract | it made with dealers. Under section 13 of the radio act, a concern which attempts a monopoly of radio communicaton is denied licenses | The commission directed the hearings | to ascertain whether the Delaware de- cision said the Radio Corporation had violated sestion 13, and the corp- oration sought the injunction to restrain the proceedings. Court Battle Looms. At the hearings beginning Monday, the commission probably will determine whether section 13 applies to the Radio Curpurauon in view of the Delaware decision. A lengthy litigation is in prospect in the event the commission decides the Radio Corporation has violated the section. | Radio Corporation subsidiaries hold | 1,409 licenses and constitute one of the argest communication systems in the country. . Meanwhile, the Radio Commission extended until July 15 licenses held by the Radiomarine Corporation of Amer- | ica, Radio Corporation subsidiary, for | 15 commercial wave length assignments. | The action was taken to permit the stations to continue operation until th commission decides whether the Radi Corporation and four subsidiaries have | violated anti-monopoly provisions. | Along on Bad Tires when you can get such Service, such fine New Tires and such Low Prices at Bailey’s? 5.00-19 (29x5.00). $6.95 5.25-21 (31x5.25), $8.60 6.00-20 (32x6.00), $10.70 Free Mounting Srest OLse BATTERIES the car had a Kansas license on it (Kansas adjoins _OKla- homa).
