HIGH POTTER HEADED FOR COURTS
Following the return by the Radio Commission of the lengthy report on high power applications to Chief Examiner Ellis A. Yost, the 24 stations involved are preparing to carry their grievances to Appellate Courts as soon as Yost submits his second report signifying the eight applicants which are most deserving of the remaining 50,000 watt places on the 20 cleared channels.
A prolonged and tangled legal battle that may rival the short wave fight is forseen as injunctions will doubtless be sought to hold up all high power allocations until the issue is threshed out in court.
As the Commission has taken a recess until January 5, no secondary report is expected from Hr. Yost before that time.
As the Chief Examiner made it clear in his report that he considered all of the 24 applicants, with five special exceptions deserving of the maximum power and all practically equal in merit, the stations which are omitted from the select list will have excellent grounds for appeals, it is believed.
TThile rejecting the report, the Commission also voted down by a 4— to— 1 vote the motion of Commissioner Lafount that the Commission itself hold an informal hearing January 7 on the question of amending General Order 42. A petition signed by 11 applicants asking both for an amendment to General Order Ho. 42 and that a hearing be held on the proposal was also rejected by a vote of 4 to 1.

EXAMINERS* DIVISION CREATED
Despite the fact that the Federal Radio Commission has reversed two recommendations of its Examiners, it apparently is satisfied with the system. An Examiners* Division, headed by Chief Examiner Ellis A. Yost, was authorized Saturday by the Commission, separating the activity from the Legal Division.
The two examiners who will be under Hr. Yost’s direction are Elmer TV. Pratt and R. H. Hyde.
