In Missouri Governor Henry Stewart Caulfield prepared to jump into action. From Tulsa came the encouraging yells of Governor William Henry ("Alfalfa Bill") Murray, recently victor in a similar but less spectacular fight against Oklahoma Natural Gas Corp...

Jeopardy to life at sea was depicted by Radiomarine officials if that company should lose its 1,122 ship-shore licenses because of its parent company's law violation. RCA-Victor declared it would have to cease television experimentation if the Commission ruled against it. Summing up for RCA, Louis Titus, chief attorney, declared an "unspeakable disaster" would follow the Commission's refusal to renew RCA licenses. His prime legal argument was that Congress meant...
