PROTESTS EXAMINER'S 50 KW RECOMMENDATIONS
"The report of a mere examiner for the Federal Radio Commission recommending the complete break-down of the Commission's rule to limit the number of super-power stations, is a challenge to the Commission itself as well as to Congress," said Oswald F. Schuette, Executive Secretary of the Radio Protective Association.
"In all Congressional hearings on radio, including those for the confirmation of Radio Commissioners, the attitude of Senators, Representatives and Commissioners alike has favored the severest restrictions on super-power broadcasting. All this has been ignored by the Examiner's hearings as well as in his report.
"To show how much the new super-power grab favors the Radio Trust, fourteen of the twenty stations specifically favored by the Examiner's report are served by the Radio Trust broadcast¬ ing chain and four of these stations are owned outright by the Trust. It is equally significant that the American Federation of Labor station in Chicago was denied all of its requests in the same report.
"The chief result of the super-power grant would be to give to the advertising salesmen of these Trust— affiliated sta¬ tions, and its chain, new sales arguments at the expense of less favored stations. The chief peril to the freedom of the air, in this proposal, lies in the danger of blanketing the 600 lower powered stations using the broadcasting band."

BUSINESS LETTER BRIEFS
The following comment was made in "Dial Flashes" in the Washington Post by Robert D. Heinl:
"Congratulations seem to be in order for William S. Paley, of Columbia, the youngest and least known, of the big radio executives for his capture of seven of the largest concert bureaus in the United States and enough famous songbirds and instrumental¬ ists to keep his stations broadcasting continuously for the next ten years.
"Where before Columbia was shy on high grade musical talent, "Bill" Paley now has so many stars of the first magnitude at his command that he may have G-alli-Curci telling bedtime stories for want of a better spot for her on the program.
