Commission to Rule on RCA Activities
Washington June 16 The future activities of the Radio Corporation of America hung tonight on how the radio commission interprets a short federal law. The statute requires denying licenses to those finally adjudged guilty of trying to monopolize radio communications. RCA was ruled by a Delaware court to have violated anti trust laws in selling radio tubes, a decision the Supreme Court declined to review. The commission’s reading of guilty will largely shape the case. The four RCA subsidiaries faced a 34 member group of the six billion dollar trust praised for radio development.
