N - A- E- B NEWS-LETTER NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTERS Edited by Harold A. Engel, President Station WHA, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin March 1, 1947 FCC RELEASES NEW RULES The Federal Communications Commission on February 14 adopted for release new sections of its rules governing Non-Commercial Educational FM Broadcast Stations, to become effective on April 1, 1947. Sections 3.501 to 3.591 are new embodying essentially the recommendations made after considerations by NAEB at the 1946 Convention at Michigan State College. NEW FM FILM The General Electric Company is about to release a new film entitled, "Naturally-- It's FM". This 16 mm. sound film in color should be useful in promotion campaigns as in the earlier version called "The Story of FM". It is to be available through the company's district offices and through film libraries. POLITICS AND THE FCC Sports prognosticating has nothing on the activities of the radio trade press in starting and spiking rumors about prospective FCC appointments. Were it not for the importance of the job, the satire involved would be appreciated. In a single issue of Broadcasting Magazine (February 3) these comments in different stories appear: "-Charles R. Denny will recommend-Wakefield-be named to succeed himself. Confirmation is far from automatic since new Republican majority in Senate isn't at all satisfied with Republican appointments-". "-comes word that Thad Brown, Jr.-will be urged for Wakefield post by regular Republican stalwarts. Like his father he is an Ohio Republican and his mother is most active in Republican Committee circles." "-a political deal was concocted and almost jelled, for appointment of Marion E. Martin, ex-assistant chairman of Republican National Committee to the Porter vacancy." Basic qualifications and performance "in the public interest convenience and necessity" might be given some consideration-rather than political services rendered-or subservience to the wishes of those who under the banner of "The American way" place their own interests above those of the public, HLE ’MBERSHIP INVITATION The National Association of Educational Broadcasters invites to membership institutions and agencies operating broadcasting.stations or carrying on an educational program over stations not.their own.
