12/15/33 and until they apply for and are granted a regular license for tnis purpose the decision of the Commission is conditional and only for the purpose of conducting experiments which may prove wholly unsuccessful and never be carried into the regular broad¬ casting service. "Complaint is made by the appellant that the Commission failed to serve it with a written notice of the applications of WBBM and KFAB prior to the hearing had by the Examiner, and con¬ tends that such failure renders the decision void or at least reversible upon this appeal. We may say in answer to this that in our opinion under the circumstances the appellant was not entitled to a written notice for the reason that it was not then a party ’aggrieved or whose interests are adversely affected’' by the proposed modification of the appellees' licenses for experi¬ mental purposes."

MEETING PAVES WAY TO BETTER RADIO-NEWSPAPER RELATIONS Although no official statement has as yet been given out on the subject, reports reaching Washington are that the twodays’ meeting in New York between network and broadcasting heads and newspaper publishers resulted in a much friendlier feeling between them with concessions on both sides. An agreement was said to have been reached only with regard to news broadcasts but it is understood this may lead the wa y to a better under¬ standing with regard to publishing radio programs in the news¬ papers . It is reported that the American Newspaper Publishers' Association has agreed not to urge newspapers further to drop the printing of programs. On the other hand, it is said the Columbia Broadcasting System will abandon its special news service. In lieu of this, the Press Associations will each put on a man, presumably at the expense of the networks, who will supply the latter with two (2) seven minute news broadcasts a day and protect them on flashes of certain big events. As a result of the agreement in principle on several controversial subjects at the New York meeting, a better working agreement between the broadcasters and the publishers is expected to follow. Roy Howard of the Scripps-Howard News Service and pub¬ lisher of the New York Telegram, is credited with laying the groundwork of more friendly relations by declaring that the radio is here to stay and that the newspaper people should recognize this and abide by the principle of "live and let live."
