6/4/37 FCC SUBMITS DATA TO SENATE IN MACKAY-RCA CASE In accordance with a request sponsored by Senator Borah (R. ), of Idaho, the Federal Communications Commission this week submitted to the Senate a voluminous file of records in the case of the Mackay Radio & Telegraph Company* s application for a permit to establish an office in Oslo, Norway. Senator Borah had asked for the information to determine whether charges that the FCC is fostering the development of a monopoly in the radio communication field are correct. Mackay1 s application was rejected by the Commission on the ground that R. C. A. Communications, Inc., already serves Oslo. XXXXXXXXXX SPECIAL COUNSEL NAMED BY FCC IN SEGALSMITH CASE Anticipating a bitter fight, the Federal Communications Commission this week appointed Samuel F. Kaufman, of New York City, as Special Counsel to represent it in the disbarment proceedings instituted against Paul M. Segal and George S. Smith, Washington radio lawyers. Mr. Kaufman is a noted trial lawyer, having formerly been Special Assistant to Attorney General Cummings in the prosecution of immigration fraud cases in New York. Messrs. Segal and Smith have not yet filed their answers to the charges brought against them by the FCC, but they have until June 19th to do so. XXXXXXXXXX TWO ADDITIONAL FREQUENCIES RECOMMENDED FOR MACKAY A favorable report was filed with the Federal Commun¬ ications Commission this week by Examiner R. H. Hyde on the application of the Mackay Radio & Telegraph Co. for two addi¬ tional radio frequencies. The waves sought are 2848 kc. for MilZ, New York, and 2784 kc. for WNEJ, Washington, D. C. A similar recommendation was made recently upon the application of R.C.A. Communications, Inc. XXXXXXXXXX 8
