"The radio technician today is one of the most in^ortant factors in the industry in this rapidly expanding television field* Unless a television set owner can get proper servicing, he may soon lose his initial enthusiasm for this new medium for home entertain¬ ment or even turn sour against it* A shortage of qualified televi¬ sion servicemen may prove a deterrent to television set buying and thus actually reduce receiver production and sales*
"Moreover, the radio technician who calls at a home to install or service a TV or radio set is the liaison man between the set manufacturer and the buyer. He is in a position to do an excel¬ lent public relations job for the industry because of his personal contact with the set owner a contact the manufacturer seldom, if ever, makes,"

MULLEN ASSURES FCC RICHARDS STATIONS CHARGES UNFOUNDED
Frank E, Mullen, President of the three radio stations controlled by G, A. Richards, KMPC, Los Angeles, WGAR, Cleveland, 0., and WJR, Detroit, has expressed fullest confidence that "news-slant¬ ing" and other charges made against Mr. Richards will be disproved,
Mr, Mullen, formerly Vice-President and General Manager of the National Broadcasting Company, made this statement in connection with an announcement by the FCC that it would hold public hearings on the manner in which news broadcasts had been handled by three large radio stations controlled by G, A, Richards of Los Angeles,
The Radio Nev/s Club of Los Angeles, composed of radio sta¬ tion employees there, filed a formal complaint with the FCC last February concerning KMPC’s nev/s broadcasts*
The complaint alleged that Mr, Richards had instructed his staff that news concerning specified individuals, groups and events "should be slanted, distorted, treated in a fashion specified by Richards in order to promote his private vievi/s and interests" in the political, social and economic fields.
The Club alleged that one KMPC employee was dismissed for failure to follow the alleged instructions.
The Commission, on its own motion, broadened the resulting investigation to include news broadcasting by YrcAR and ¥/JR, the other Richards stations*
Today *s announcement said the Commission investigation had developed evidence "tending to substantiate the information submitted by Radio Nev/s Club,"
