CORRECTION
In our issue of September 13, we said "A nice little joy-ride is ahead of the Federal Communications Commission when it holds its hearing at Memphis, Tenn. to look into the needs of radiotelephone communications on the Mississippi River. "
This was incorrect. The Commission itself is not going to Memphis and never intended to. Only an engineer and an examiner, and possibly a lawyer, will go to conduct a hearing at the request of and for the convenience of parties in that part of the country who could not afford the expense of a trip to New York. We regret the error.
