It was said at the Commission that while the question of taxing broadcasting stations was being studied that no decision had been reached as to whether or not the Commission would advocate to Congress that a license fee be charged to the stations. "We are simply making a careful study of the situa¬ tion", a high official of the Commission said, "so as to be ready if Congress should ask our opinion on this or if the Com¬ mission itself should decide to make any recommendations with regard to what it would consider a proper fee of stations taxed. "You will remember sometime ago we got up a report for Senator Dill during the existence of the old Federal Radio Com¬ mission and the work we are doing now is simply bringing these figures up-to-date to be used when, if, or as needed.
