MA JOR ARMSTRONG CHARGES FCC ¥ ITH MAJOR BLUNDER Major Edwin Armstrong, professor of electrical engineering at Columbia University, charges that the Federal Communications Commission made a major blunder in assign¬ ing FM broadcasting to the 100 megacycles band. He urged Congress to assign FM broadcasting to the 50 megacycle band. Armstrong charged "As a result of the Commission’s blunder, the work of 5 years in building un FM has been largely destroy¬ ed the efficiency of the system has been reduced, and its introduction to the public generally has been retarded by a period of from 2 to 3 years.

A MILLION UORDS A MINUTE FOR THE EYE, NOT TEE EAR NBC president Niles Trammel told Congress about a new radio communication system (uitrafax) which sends a million printed words per minute. He stated in his opinion that the newspapers of the future may be delivered by radio. Each printed page is treated as a picture and flashed in rapid succession. At the receiving end, pages are reproduced by new high-speech photographic processes for quick delivery. Niles, testifying in favor of removal of government controls on broadcasting,thinks pending bill the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee is considering, "would put the shadow of Nazi censorship behind ever?/ American broadcaster." This statement was typical of many statements made in support of eliminating all FCC controls in recent hearings. The implication Niles made—that radio broad¬ casters will become publishers with the use of Ultrafax—is another example of National Association of Broadcaster’s effort to define newspaper and radio as similar media which should be treated in the same way by the government.
