RULES GROUP PROPOSES PROCEDURE REGULATIONS
The FCC Rules Committee this week recommended a new set of regulations of procedure governing attorneys and others who practice before the Commission. The rules, which may be the subject for a hearing, must be approved by the Federal Communications Commission before they become effective.
One of the new rules is designed to prevent a repeti¬ tion of the Segal-Smith case in which dummy applications allegedly were filed with the FCC to block rival applicants.
The new regulation requires that the applicant disclose his true identity, his associates, and other pertinent data.
Ignoring a proposal of Commissioner George Henry Payne that lawyers who quit the FCC for private radio practice be barred from appearing before the Commission for two years, the Committee recommended instead a rule that an attorney or Examiner be prevented only from appearing before the FCC in a case in which he was associated before resigning.
Radio lawyers and other interested parties have been invited to offer suggestions or proposed amendments before the rules become effective.
The Committee comprises T. J. Slowie, Secretary of the FCC; Chief Engineer E. K. Jett, and William J. Norfleet, Chief Accountant.

TELEVISION CABLE USED FOR TELEPHONE CALLS
The German Post Office, in cooperation with Siemens Halske, A.G. , of Berlin, recently for the first time on record used a television cable for the transmission of telephone calls, according to the American Commercial Attache at Berlin. In this case the Berlin-Leipzig television cable was used and about 30 calls were put through without interruption to the television service.
The success of the experiment has led to plans for the regular telephonic use of the cable, and it is estimated that as many as 200 calls a day may be so transmitted. The supplementary use of the television cable for telephone calls is particularly desirable as it obviates the necessity for addi¬ tional telephone cables and thus savesmetal urgently needed for other purposes.
