Counsel for the Yankee Network Inc and the Fairfield Broadcasting Co asked the FCC to overturn a tentative award of three FM Class B channels to Guggenheim Harold Thomas and The Bridgeport Herald Corp all to operate from Bridgeport. The Yankee Network and Travelers Broadcasting sought Bridgeport while airfield firm asked Danbury. Only three Class B channels are available. Travelers did not appear in final arguments. The case hinges on area coverage and local versus distant taste for Bridgeport broadcasts with labor‑leaning concerns noted for The Bridgeport Herald.

Republican senators pledge aid to the save-food-for-Europe drive while pressing questions about poultryless days. Distillers indicate a possible 60-day shutdown, raising unemployment concerns.
