Commission to Rule on RCA Activities
Washington June 16 The future activities of the Radio Corporation of America hinge on the radio commission’s interpretation of a brief federal law clause. The statute requires denying licenses to those finally adjudged guilty of monopolizing radio communications. RCA was found by a Delaware district court to have violated antitrust laws in selling radio tubes, a decision the Supreme Court let stand. The commission’s reading of the term guilty will shape the outcome as it weighs the case.
