7/25/40 "Every week NAB will confer with the United States Civil Service Commission about jobs throughout the country. It is ex¬ pected that needs at certain points will change frequently. As they change, superseding announcements will be sent. "Therefore, in the interest of efficiency, in this hour of emergency, we shall operate on the assumption that stations will continue to broadcast an announcement until it is killed or modi¬ fied to meet the changing conditions. " xxxxxxxxxx MONOPOLY BRIEF ISSUE STILL UNDECIDED The Federal Communications Commission has not yet decided whether it will accept briefs from the networks in response to charges carried in the monopoly report. The matter was scheduled to have been discussed at the meeting last Friday, but officials said it was not reached because of the vast amount of routine business. It is due to come at a meeting on Wednesday, but an FCC spokesman said there may not be a quorum present. The Columbia Broadcasting System has asked permission to file a brief, and the Mutual Broadcasting System has submitted pro¬ posals to remedy some of the evils of network broadcasting as alleged in the monopoly report. xxxxxxxx MBS AWAITS NAZI DECISION AFTER "BLACKLISTING" The Mutual Broadcasting System was barred from picking up broadcasts from Berlin or Nazi occupied territory this week at least temporarily after bee in "blacklisted" because of the action of 31 Pacific Coast stations of the MutualDon Lee Network last Friday in cutting off Hitler’s address to the Reichstag. Dr. Otto Dietrich, personal press chief of the German Chancellor, temporarily barred MBS from further broadcasts out of Nazi territory. Dr. Dietrich notified Siegrid Schultz, Mutual representa¬ tive in Berlin, that he wanted a complete report and explanation of the incident and pending receipt of the report and its approval as satisfactory he was suspending all Mutual broadcasts from Germany and German-controlled areas in Europe, according to a cablegram received by Arthur Whiteside, Mutual Production Manager, in New York. 8
