No one was hurt but as usual, there was a terrific argument between the two drivers, all of which Mr. Sarnoff could hear as well as see. Having been an eye witness to the affair, he was just about to get into the scrimmage himself when he heard several of the engineers laughing and realized that the whole thing had been a practical joke, a frameup for his benefit, by the television demonstrators.

Yost, Chief Examiner of the Federal Radio Commission, that the power of Station WDRC, at Hartford, Conn. , be increased from 500 to 1000 watts, unlimited time on 1330 kc. frequency. Examiner Yost found that the people residing within the service area of Station WDRC are entitled to the improved and enlarged broadcasting service which the granting of the increase would provide. The State of Connecticut and the first zone are now assigned less than their quota of broadcasting facilities. Franklin N, Doolittle, President of the New Haven Broad¬ casting Company (owner of Station WDRC), manager and treasurer of the station, testified that the stock of WDRC, Inc. , is owned as follows: New Haven Broadcasting Co. 50 shares; Professor Doolittle 1 share; Three officials of the Columbia Broadcasting System 249 shares. The stock of the New Haven Broadcasting Co. is owned as follows: Professor Doolittle 60$; W. B. Haas 20$ and Italo Martino 20$. Professor Doolittle, before entering the broadcasting business was connected with Yale University for six years as Professor of Electrical Engineering, including radio engineering. He is a graduate of Yale University with a degree of Ph. D. The transmitter now in use is a 1 KW transmitter constructed by Profes¬ sor Doolittle and Professor Adams, under a construction permit from the Federal Radio Commission; has the necessary equipment and apparatus to maintain its frequency within 50 cycles, and is cap¬ able of 75$ modulation. Station WDRC carries programs of the Columbia Broadcasting System and the Yankee network. Approximately 75$ to 80$ of the programs broadcast over Station WDRC are chain programs, the remain¬ der of the time being devoted to local and spot advertising proeramr X X X X X X 6
