"We know the names of all agents and bookmakers at Zenith. They will receive a copy of this letter. We trust you do not need our assistance and will leave the matter entirely in your hands. We want our husbands to bring their checks home in the future*"
"Ted Leitzell, public relations director for Zenith, said it will build a newsstand on its grounds to be operated by Harold Covington, 40, a war veteran who lost his sight in a hunting acci¬ dent", the Tribune continued. "Covington will take over the stand with the understanding he will not sell scratch sheets and will not become involved in gambling, Leitzell said."

WTUX, WILMINGTON, DEL., TO FIGHT FCC ORDER TO GET OFF AIR
Radio station WTUX in Wilmington, Del., has promised to fight in the courts an order for it to wind up its affairs and go off the air within 90 days because of 1948-49 horse racing broad¬ casts.
The Federal Communications Commission, which issued the order last week, said the programs assisted Wilmington bookmakers in their business and had been used by them to further illegal gambling operations.
The Commission took the action first of its kind des¬ pite notice from the station that it had cut out all racing broad¬ casts and cancelled its contract with Armstrong Publications, which sponsored the programs and supplied the station with race results by teletype .
FCC said these actions were "belated reforms", and that it had concluded, in spite of station denials, that racing information put on the air during the Fall of 1948and the Spring of 1949 "was designed and intended to aid illegal gambling."
Gordon Macintosh, President of WTUX, said the station will fight the FCC action through the courts "for it involves more than freedom of speech".
"The record in our case disproves all the charges against this station", Macintosh declared. "Some outside opinion must have been read into the record for such an unjust decision to be rendered by the FCC. It is incredible that we should be condemned when ap¬ proximately 100 radio and television stations are giving racing today. "
