Last week the Commission issued its decision. Although there was "grave doubt" about the station's "qualifications to operate in ... the public interest," the Commission was of the opinion that "an order of revocation of license need not be entered at this time."

...influence of the "parasympathetic nervous system," the sympathetic system steams up when the body signals full speed ahead. During an attack of angina, a patient shows all the outward signs of "sympathetic overactivity" except one. He perspires, his stomach expands, his heart throbs in violent tempo. But for some reason his coronary blood vessels, instead of expanding, contract. In this perverse, mysterious contraction, believes Dr. Raney, lies the key to the secret of angina pectoris...
...reason for this hunt for new capacity is partly Act of God. Last summer's drought lowered the level of the rivers which feed the 27% of U. S. power capacity which is hydro instead of steam. Last year when water was plentiful, hydro output set a new record: 41,500,000,000 kilowatt hours, 38% of the total...
...Most acute water shortage was in TVA country, in New England (where August hydro output fell 34%), in the Middle West (where rainfall had been ⅓ to½ of normal). Part of last month's coal crisis (TIME, Oct. 2) was due to utilities' emergency demands. Another reason for the need for new generating capacity is the relatively small recent investment in utilities plants. In 1929 the utilities invested over $900,000,000 in new plant, topping a six-year average of about $800,000,000. Depression practically stopped all utility investment, but even in 1937 new utility...
...Except by comparison with other industries the utilities have no reason to be cocky about a 20% sales growth since 1929. Between 1922 and 1929 they grew...
