JUDGE SYKES TELLS OF STUDIES BY FCO
With three separate divisions, each operating inpedendently, the Federal Communications Commission is function¬ ing these days as a tri-parite body, with each division having its "hands full," Chairman E.O. Sykes, of the FCC, declared in an interview over a nationwide NBC-WEAF network.
Defining the scope of the FCC ’ s work and the reasons which prompted the administration in bringing about its creation, Judge Sykes declared in response to Mr. Codel’s questioning, that the creation of this new agency "was not dictated by any political considerations. " He asserted that it was "a natural sequel to the growth and expansion 6f communications services that the government should regulate them in the interests of the public whom both the FCC and the companies serve. "
Judge Sykes enumerated the current investigations being conducted by the three separate divisions. Apropos of the Broadcast Division, he said:
"The Broadcast Division, as you know, is expected to report to Congress by Feb. 1 on the proposal that a fixed per¬ centage of the broadcasting facilities be allocated to particular types of non-profit activities. In addition to its routine work, the Broadcast Division has also begun a survey of the wave lengths, with particular attention to clear channels, to deter¬ mine whether our present system of allocations is the most efficient in the light of recent advances in radio engineering.
Paying high tribute to the work of the FCC staff,
Judge Sykes said the "teamwork being displayed" could be justly attributed to the leadership of the six other members of the FCC, whom he described as "public servants of the very highest calibre. " The feeling of the entire organization, he asserted, is that "we will contribute something real and lasting to the American radio listener and the American user of the telephone and telegraph services. "
