"At the same time we recommend that the Commission take affirmative action by the adoption of a regulation which would en¬ able stations to enlarge the area served by them for going above the present ceiling of 50,000 watte on power. "
Grave danger of retarding superior FM radio service on a nationwide scale if the Government inauge rates a general re-alloca¬ tion of present-day standard broadcast frequencies was cited by Mr. Stanton, President of the Columbia Broadcasting System, today (Wednesday).
Fundamental revision of the existing frequency assign¬ ments at this time would be ntransitor, . . . . a waste of the Commis¬ sions time, the broadcasters* time and money and a disservice to the public”, he stated. "As we stand on the threshold of a new and superior service to the nation* s listeners, now is not the time to
look back into AM and patch together temporary remedies . We
should keep our eye on the M ball. ”
Static-free FM providing consistently greater radio cover¬ age and an increase in the number of radio stations, he said, is inescapably destined to supplant current A M broadcasting "as the preferred audio service for the great majority of people. "
The accelerated development of FM since the clear channel hearings in 1938 requires "thorough re-orientation in any approach to future planning in aural broadcasting", he said. "We believe that aural broadcasting of the future will be identified, almost entirely, with FM broadcasting. "
Contending that FM* s influence "will be wholly in the pub¬ lic interest", Mr. Stanton said it will afford listeners far wider choice among programs, provide greater access to the microphone for groups who now feel they are inadequately represented on the radio, and put competition among stations and networks almost entirely on the basis of their respective program offerings.
XXXXXXXXXX GARDNER COWLES CRITICIZES SLOWNESS OF NUERNBERG TRIALS
Gardner Cowles, Jr. , President of the Cowles Broadcasting Company and the Des Moines Register and Tribune, who is in Europe with a party of American editors, said last week in a radio broad¬ cast to the United States from Nuernberg that the slow pace of the Nazi war crimes trial there was causing the Allies to lose "some¬ thing of value in the way of world respect. "
"I wish the wheels of justice would move more swiftly",
Mr. Cowles asserted in a radio interview broadcast over the Mutual network. He said, however, "there is value in proving" the guilt of the Nazi defendants "by their own documents and record, so that no future apologists for the Nazis could ever get a sympathetic ear from a world with a short memory. "
"Most Americans, I feel, think they (the defendants) should have been shot months ago", Mr. Cowles added.
