PAC BLASTS FCC* S FM POLICY AS MONOPOLY AID
Granting of 64 conditional licenses for FM (frequency modu¬ lation) broadcasting by the Federal Communications Commission this week brought a sharp statement of criticism from C. B. Baldwin, Executive Vice-Chairman of the National Citizens Political Action Committee, in New York City.
In a wire to Paul Porter, Chairman of the FCC, Baldwin said that ’’the granting of 64 licenses without public hearings ignores the damcnes of many Individuals and organizations for greater caution in licensing individuals and corporations to conduct busi¬ ness on public licenses. "
The wire described as "a grave threat to effective freedom of speech and press" the granting of licenses to companies owned by or affiliated with newspapers, asserting this provides a monopoly in many communities of the "media for disseminating public informa¬ tion and opinion. "
The Baldwin wire followed by two weeks the issuance of a National Citizens PAC report on American broadcasting and a list of recommendations for Congressional and FCC action to "safeguard the people* s right to the air."
