B.ilUlR LOSES COURT FIGHT
The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, this week denied the applica¬ tion of Norman Baker owner of KTNT, Muscatine, Iowa, broadcasting station, for a preliminary injunction restraining the Commission from making effective its order under which his station was closed down. The Commission, after hearing, denied renewal of Baker's license and an appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. This court granted a stay order which was later dissolved upon motion of the Commission. Baker, finding himself off the air, later filed a suit in equity in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The court, in addition to denying the preliminary injunction, dismissed Baker's suit.
Baker's attorneys carefully preserved their rights to appeal.
