Then RCA counterattacked. RCA's Board Chairman David Sarnoff, no man to break away from any fight, denounced the FCC decision as "scientifically unsound and against the public interest," ordered battalions of RCA lawyers, publicity men and engineers into the fray. In Chicago, Sarnoff stopped the CBS victory march dead in its tracks by getting a federal court order suspending the FCC decision until three judges can pass on its merits (TIME, Nov. 27).

Pilot Radio Corp. threatened federal court action against FCC because it had "exceeded its jurisdiction." The Radio-Television Manufacturers Association called a special closed meeting on color TV, refused admittance to a CBS representative...
