GEORGIA CREATES RADIO COMMISSION To protect the State's interest in WGST, owned by the Georgia School of Tech¬ nology and operated under lease by a company controlled by £>am Packard, CBS Vice- President, the Georgia Legislature on March 25 created the Georgia Radio Commission. The Commission consists of seven members, including? the governor, president of the senate, speaker of the house, president of Georgia Tech, and three other members named by the governor to serve for terras of four years. The bill creating the Commission was introduced when it was learned that Hearst Radio, Inc. was negotiating with Mr. Packard for the sale of the operating lease. The station was the gift of the late Clark Howell, Sr., publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, to Georgia Tech. Had the Hearst deal been completed, the donor's competitor would have gained control. WGST operates commercially and will now be under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Commission. PHILLIPS LEAVES WILL W. E.
