11/28/36 EXAMINERS PRESENT TOUGH PROELEM FOR THE FCC The Federal Communications Commission has been given a tough, though minor, problem by its Examiners. Recently one Examiner recommended that the applica¬ tion of KUJ, of Walla Walla, Wash., for a transfer from 1370 to 1250 kc. be granted and that, in event of this grant, that the application of Donald A. Wike and H. C. Studebaker for a permit to build a new station at Baker, Ore. , for operation of 1370 kc. be granted also. This week Examiner Robert L. Irwin recommended that the application of KIT, Yakima, Wash. , for a transfer from 1310 to 1250 kc. be granted, providing the KUJ request is rejected or rejected if the KUJ application is granted. XXXXXXXXX CRITICIZES NETWORK MEDICAL BAN Dr. Victor Heiser in his widely read new book, "An American Doctor's Oayssey" says: "I was particularly struck with the manner in which the Health Department in Russia, handled venereal disease, which was being treated solely from an infectious standpoint. This is in great contrast to our attitude; ostrich-like we stick our heads in the sand and refuse to recognize that syphilis causes greater havoc than any other disease in the Christian world, and that efforts to deal with it should not be handi¬ capped by regarding it as punishment for sin. The situation will remain hopeless as long as a prominent health officer of the leading state of the Union can be refused the use of one of the great radio broadcasting systems because he mentioned the word syphilis. " XXXXXXXXX PASSENGER BUSSES EQUIPPED WITH RADIOS IN AUSTRALIA Busses have been equipoed with radio receivers for the entertainment of their passengers, according to a report in Ra.dio Retailer of Australia. "The proprietor of the bus is more than pleased with the reaction of his passengers and with the performance of the receiver", the periodical states. XXXXXXXXX 11
