From the standpoint of efficient use of WQED, the Commission felt that a second educational TV channel in Pittsburgh was warranted. There is no bar to a licensee operating two educational stations in the same area. MAGNUSON BILL UNOPPOSED IN HOUSE COMMITTEE HEARING Senate-approved legislation authorizing $51,000,000 to educational TV systems was rushed through a day- and-a-half hearing by the House Commerce trans¬ portation and communications subcommittee last month, meeting no opposition. According to the July 19 Television Digest, however, outlook for final approval this year remained dim. The subcommittee voiced few doubts as to the need for federal aid in financing TV equipment pur¬ chases by state and local bodies as proposed by the Senate ETV bill (S-2119) of Sen. Warren Magnuson (D-Wash.) and companion House measures (HR- 12177 and HR-13297) which appeared at earlier Senate hearings. Despite anticipated speedy consideration of the ETV proposals by the subcommittee, it was doubt¬ ful that legislation could be cleared for floor action before the scheduled August adjournment.
