"None of these Jobs was delegated to it by Congress, and all of them were undertaken as the result of New Deal conniving.
When the FCC asks for more money, it is to pursue these New Deal objectives and not to keep order in the broadcasting industry,
’’In fact, whatever need there may have been for the FCC is disappearing. The radio industry, one of the most progressive in America, is cutting the ground from under the Commission. Fre¬ quency modulation was in operation before the war, and when peace comes and the industry is able to resume FM development. Congress will be able to Junk the FCC and end its expensive political and sociological experiments,
"FCC came into being because there are only a limited number of transmission cnannels available to regular broadcasters and to communications stations, and they must be made to share them without interference. When frequency modulation comes into its ovm, the number of broadcasting channels will be almost unlimited and the possibility of interference between stations will be remote. Licen¬ sing will not be needed. An FM broadcaster can have a full property right, not only to his physical properties, but to his channel as well, and there will be more than enough of the latter to go around.
"The FM broadcasters can be regulated as far as their pro¬ grams and operating technique are concerned by the same laws that feovern the publication of newspapers and magazines. It costs much less to build and operate a frequency modulation station than it does to build and maintain a similar station of the type now in general use. The fidelity of the broadcasting is so much greater tnat frequency modulation appears certain to supplant the regular broadcasting of today in most parts of the country.
"The few commercial transmission systems that retain their original broadcasting equipment for distance-covering ourposes can be regulated adequately by the Interstate Commerce Commission, which has a much more savory reputation for impartiality and efficiency than the FCC and is too busy maintaining that reputation to embark on New Deal social reforms."
