COMISSION REPORTED TO HA WE TENTATIVELY DENIED CBS BOOSTER
Although nothing official has been given out at the Federal Radio Commission, it is currently reported that the Commissioners voted last Friday on the question of whether or not the Columbia Broadcasting System should be allowed to erect a "booster" station in Washington, and tentatively decided to deny the Columbia application. The hearing was held nearly a month ago.
The vote is said to stand 3 to 2, According to our advices, Commissioners favoring the project were Judge Robin¬ son and Mr. Lafount. It is understood, however, that this de¬ cision is not final and that one Commissioner may change his vote between now and next Friday, when it is expected the official re¬ port will be made.
Judge Sykes is absent from Washington for about two weeks. He is said to have left a proxy, with instruc¬ tions that his negative vote remain unchanged.
