COFFEE WITH CONCRESS "FIRST REALLY DIFFERENT PROGRAM WITH A CAPITOL HILL FLAVOR TO COME OUT OF WASHINGTON" . . so says U^RIETY A completely new idea in morning programming is Bill Herson's "COFFEE WITH CONGRESS" broadcast every Saturday morning, 8:15-9:00 a.m. — It's another "First" for WRC . . . First time members of Congress have been informally interviewed in their homes— over the breakfast table. Herson presents "little known" facts about "well-known" law-makers in an ad-lib friendly chat with Congressmen and their families. Another reason why Herson is Washington's No. 1 morning personality.

Attorney General, was the principal speaker at a Radio Executive Club luncheon meeting at the Roosevelt Hotel, New York. He said that his office intends to continue a strong anti-trust program. He explained that in every case they try to get all the facts before "proceeding with a decision." He lauded Paul Porter, chairman of FCC, and stated that "our job is to back him up whenever they get in court." Mr. Clark also suggested in his address that radio put its shoulder to the wheel to help the juvenile delinquency problem by putting over the idea of a youth center similar to the USO so that youngsters would have a place to meet. One Up on Federal MEMBERS of the FCC Engineering Dept. were congratulating each other last week. Each of them, apparently, had fallen heir to a brand new FM station. It said so in letters received from Federal Telephone & Radio Corp. which began : "As your name was among those issued conditional FM grants by the FCC . . ." The engineers were wondering how they should advise Federal Tel. that they are not in the market for transmitters. CJAD Montreal has postponed its opening, scheduled for Oct. 28, to late November. Station will operate on 800 kc with 1 kw. SERVICE DIRECTORY F*€QUSNCY MCASUXING swvice Exact Measurements » of any rim* RCA COMMUNICATIONS, INC 64 Braid StfMt New York 4, H. T.
