NAKB NEWb LETTER Page 5 Januaiy 15 , 1939 bearing on the applioation of KOY to use the KOAC wavelength, and that he was using for this purpose the oommunications he was receiving from his own constituents. Hunger emphasized the fact that the state board has the interests of 65,000 Oregon farm families in mind primarily in maintaining the station, although it serves urban audiences as well. President G . W.

THIS CONCERNS YOUR STATION, TOO The Federal Comraunications Commission has set for hearing a petition of Mayor Fiorello H. LaGu»rdia, of New York City, in the matter of Station WNYC, municipally owned broadcast station of that city. The Mayor petitioned the Commission to amend certain of its rules in order to permit the rebroadcasting of programs of high frequency and International broadcast stations, by regular broadcast stations whose licensees are universities, other eduoat ional institutions, munici¬ palities, other government agencies, or other non-commeroial non-profit- making organizations. As now written the rules of the Commission do not prohibit the rebroad- oasting of programs of high frequency broadcast stations but merely require the authority of the Commission for the rebroadcast. However, the rules do not permit regular broadcast stations to rebroadoast the programs of international broadcast stations located vdthin the United States except where wire lines are not available to transmit the programs to regular broadcast stations. The Mayor*s petition also asked that the Commission amend its rules which prohibit high frequency and international broadcast stations which are in an experimental status, from making any charge, directly or indireotly, for the transmission of programs. In setting the matter for hearing the Commission opened the way for a complete discussion of the subject.
