RADIO COMMISSION ANSWERS KTNT SUIT
The Federal Radio Commission on Wednesday asked the District Supreme Court to dismiss the suit filed by Norman Baker, owner of KTNT, of Muscatine, Iowa, seeking to nullify the action of the regulatory body in ordering the station off the air.
Through Ben S. Fisher, Acting General Counsel, and Duke M. Patrick, Assistant General Counsel, the Commission denied allega¬ tions that its action was unconstitutional and that it had been •’improperly influenced" in its decision by testimony of the Muscatine Journal of the Iowa Medical Society.
The Commission further contended that KTNT had waived its right to seek injunctive relief in a court of equity when it filed an appeal in the District Court of Appeals.
