Three Licenses Continued from Page 3 far as a lone agency, still reserved the right to join the three stations in effecting a complete merger of the four existing stations. Telegram to Abels During Celler's testimony, there was introduced in telegram he admitted having sent to Rabbi Abels asking him testify for The Eagle and which was as follows: "Earnestly urge that you do not support Brooklyn Daily Eagle application at Washington. I have been elected chairman of board of new consolidated radio stations in Brooklyn and will give greatest opportunity for broadcasts on com- munal, religious and educational topics. Splendid opportunity will be afforded you and other rabbis to use Brooklyn facilities. Shall be glad to inform you fully concerning the matter and The Eagle application.

I shall be in Washington Monday in support of combined stations." In spite of prior receipt of this telegram, Rabbi Abels testified in Washington in support of The Eagle's application. Another mysterious telegram introduced as received by an Eagle witness at the session of the hearing several days ago was that addressed under date of Dec. 8 to Dr. Maxwell Ross, Democratic leader of the 23d A. one of the districts which Celler represents in Congress, and which read: "Your testimony has spelled your political finish.

A concerted attack upon you will begin on the radio in a short while. J. The initials, J. are the same AS those of Congressman Celler's secretary, Jacob Gralla, who later testified that he did not send the telegram. Celler's Testimony Congressman Celler's testimony on direct and on cross examination in part was as follows: Direct examination: Questions by Duke Patrick, counsel for the Broadcasters of Brooklyn, Inc.

Q.I wish you would explain, please, how and under what circumstances you first became interested in these stations, or were finally induced to take the position of chairman of the board of the Broadcasters of Brooklyn, Inc. A. During last June that is, June, 1934-I learned that there were attempts about to be made to take these stations away from the operators in Brooklyn and have them lodged elsewhere. I understood at the time that there was some large radio chain that was anxious to get these stations. I immediately wrote a letter under of June 7, 1934, to each of the operators these four stations, indicating that I was interested in the broadcasting situation in Brooklyn, and I asked them to meet me at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington with a view 'to a possible amalgamation of all their facilities in the interest of developing an efficient and rather powerful station, in the interest of Brooklyn primarily.

Q. All steps that you have taken since then have been in furtherance of that idea? Is that correct? A. That is correct. Questioned on Policy given). Confident of Support I have most cordial relations Cross examination: By Thomas P.

Littlepage, counsel for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Broadcasting Company, Inc. Q. Mr. Celler, I believe you adopted the policy as testified to by Mr. Haskins, who preceded you on the witness stand? A.

Correct; the policy to be followed as to the administration of the station by the board of directors of the Broadcasters of Brooklyn, Inc. Q. Do you indorse the policies and the plans of operating these radio stations that have been followed in the past? A. I hold no brief for some of the types of operation. I am not wholly familiar with all the operations that occurred in those stations.

I believe there is room for improvement; and it is hoped and I fervently believe that if there is a union of these stations, three or more, as a result of the saving of expenditures in the operation of these stations, there can readily be accomplished the giving to Brooklyn of far better programs than have heretofore been given; and as to the policies that ask me about, I wish to state this: con (commission's furtherance of counsel) what Mr. asked Berry me before, it has been discussed at various board meetings that there would be involved in the general policy the inviting into the councils of the board, in the form of an advisory board, members of, various Brooklyn organizations (names most of these institutions. I have not actively contacted them as yet relative getting them interested in this station, but because of my connections with many of them I am quite confident that there would be an inclination--if I may use a word of character-to join forces with us in getting the views and aims and purposes of these organizations expressed through our radio facilities to the good people of Brooklyn. Furthermore, Mr. Haskins is only a temporary director.

It is in contemplation and it has already been discussed at the board meetings increase the board of directors to seven, and the four directors- of which I may be one and undoubtedly will be one--will be drawn from men from these organizations just mentioned. They will be publicspirited persons, to the end that there will be four of the members of the board of directors will not have any monetary interest in the Broadcasters of Brooklyn which we hope will operate three, if not more, of these stations. It is contemplated as a matter of policy, definitely discussed and definitely understood and definitely agreed upon, that at least one-third of the broadcasting time will be devoted to civic, communal, charItable, religious, educational, artismusical, scientific, political and fraternal programs. There will be broadcasting of market reports and items of interest to those interested in religion, art, political, science, etc. It is also, as a matter of policy, definitely agreed upon that there will be utter compliance with whatever code obtains in this industry.

There will be naught but union labor employed, and there will be, above all, strict compliance with all the rules and regulations--if I have anything to it--of the Regional Labor Board. Q. Who will be the stockholders of this new corporation, Mr. Celler? A. The present owners of the individual stations.

Q. That is, Mr. D'Angelo, Mr. Kronenberg and Mr. Gellard.

Is that right? A. I do not know whether they have other persons inwith them in stockholding interests or not. Constitute Majority Q. They constitute a majority of your present board that you set up here to the commission, do they not? A. At the present time.

This corporation has not gone into being as far as operations are concerned. It is merely a legal entity. Q. But they are the majority of ent A. Right.

the directors, set up in your presQ. And you say you heard Mr. Haskins testify and, as a lawyer, you would also testify that a majority of the board of directors of a corporation control that corporation? A. That is right. Q.

And any of these plans you have, then, would be entirely subject to the control of the majority of your board of directors? A. Any of these plans that are changed in any material respect will incur my resignation and a complete collapse of this whole program. Questioned on Programs Q. All of these organizations which you have testified you hope to have broadcast over this station -you regard the broadcasting in reference to those organizations as the public service, do you? A. Do I what? You regard broadcasting of these features in reference these various civic and religious organizations as in the public service? A.

I do. Q. Would you say that the Brooklyn Daily Eagle or the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Broadcasting Company could not secure the same talent and the same features, in detail, every one of them, that you have listed there? A. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle might obtain them in the same fashion as the Bulova Watch Company, which I understand is another applicant. They could be obtained by many others.

I have no exclusive control over those men. As far as The Brooklyn Daily Eagle is concerned -it is a very admirable newspaper which I read very diligently and most religiously-I do not believe that newspaper's function is to control radio. It would be a dangerous thing in this land if newspapers could reach out for mastery not only into the news columns but in the dissemination of news and whatever goes over the radio. That is a question of policy that I think I am qualified to dwell upon. If you want me to go into it further I should be very happy to do so.

Tells of Interest rate them. Clarifies Statement Q. Personally, you will not have very much time to give to this radio situation, will you? A. I intend to give a considerable degree of time if the permission is granted to the Broadcasters of Brooklyn to operate these stations. I am very much interested in radio.

If you are familiar with the radio history of this country, you probably will appreciate the fact, that I played a rather decent rather important part in the fashioning of the original radio I participated in all the debates on the subject and I have always been very much interested in radio. Q. You testified. I think, that the Brooklyn Daily Eagle was a very fine newspaper? A. Yes, sir.

Q. And yet in this telegram you asked Rabbi Abels not to support the Brooklyn Daily Eagle at this hearing? A. That is right. I did it because I do not think The Eagle any should radio own or facilities. possess I or operate am opposed to any newspaper's owning and operating any station.

It is a matter that is fraught with a great deal of danger, especially in these parlous times, when the freedom should be given greatest, dissemination of news. There should be as many owners as possible of radio facilities and newspapers so that there cannot be any combination that will narrow that type of dissemination. Newspapers should stick to their own knitting. They should not own and operate stations, and I would be for legislation which would absolutely sepa- Q. You stated, I think, that you held no brief for the operation of these stations by these three men who operate them, namely Kronenberg, D'Angelo and Gellard.

A. I did not that. Q. Perhaps I misunderstood you. A.

I said I hold no brief for some of the programs that may have been broadcast over these stations. I did not hear many of them. What few I have heard were mostly of a musical nature, and they were quite adequate. Mr. Celler, you have never had any personal experience in operating a radio station, have you? A.

No. My only experience more or less speaking into the microphone. I have done a great deal of that. Q. That is the extent of your qualifications as chairman of the board of directors? A.

No. I believe that I am qualified to act as the chairman of a board. I am interested in radio. I have followed it from its very inception. I have participated, as I said before, in the debates.

I have studied radio have read a great deal about it, and I think I have sufficient knowledge of business to be able to help in the operation of a radio station. Exhibit Letter. Q. Congressman, you testified, I think, that you called these gentlemen together in response to a letter? A. That is right.

Q. Is this the letter? (exhibiting paper to witness). John M. Littlepage, a ss ciate counsel for The Brooklyn Daily Eagle Broadcasting Company, If that is the letter which the Congressman wrote to Mr. Sam Gellard with reference to a conference for getting these stations together, I should like to have the letter in the record.

Examiner Hill: If there is no objection, it may be admitted. Mr. Patrick: Let it: I have not even seen the letter. (The letter referred to on the stationery of the House of Representatives was examined by Mr. Patrick.) Examiner Hill: All right.

Go ahead. The Letter The witness: It is dated New York, June 7, 1934. This is the letter wrote to the four owners of the four separate stations: "Mr. Samuel Gellard, "Station WLTH, "307 Washington Brooklyn, N. Y.

"Dear Mr. Gellard: "Repeated requests have been made to enlist my support on behalf of the independent Brooklyn radio stations in connection with proceedings now pending before the Federal Radio Commission, based upon a report made by Examiner Walker, which report, I am informed, is rather damaging, and which may result in a decision to discontinue the operation and tenance of these four independent stations. "As a Representative in Congress from Brooklyn, I am naturally interested in the preservation of these stations. I am that large interests are endeavoring to swallow these stations and deprive Brooklyn of its present radio facilities. "Since the very inception of the radio act, I have been in the vanguard of the fight to protect independent stations against large vested interests and chains.

"It is readily discernible that if the four Brooklyn stations continue fighting each other, they will destroy each other, in which event it will be very easy for some alien station or company to gain control of the radio facilities now existing in Brooklyn. It will be the case of fools making a feast for a wise man to eat. "It seems to me it would be advisable to have a meeting of the owners of stations WVFW, WBBC, WLTH and WARD with their respective attorneys. I am taking the liberty of calling this meeting at my suite at the Hotel Mayflower, Washington, D. at 8 p.m., on June 14, 1934.

"I am solely interested in this matter as a Congressman from Brooklyn. "Please let me know by letter or by wire if you will be present. Please direct your communication to me at the House Office Building, Washington, D. sending a duplicate to my New York office, 60 Wall New York. "In the interim I would appreciate receiving copies of any briefs or papers which may have been filed with the Federal Radio Commission so that I may become thorments your behalf.

oughly conversant. with the argu- "Sincerely yours, CELLER." All Came wish to state in connection therewith that I did not know, for example, who it was specifically who was endeavoring acquire these stations. I did know anything about The Eagle application or the Bulova Watch application. I was informed that it was a chain that was seeking to wrest control of these stations from these present operators, and it was for that reason that I have asked these men to come to my suite, and they all did come, with their respective attorneys. The fact of the matter is, nothing was ever done without the presence always of their attorneys, in all these deliberations and hearings which we have had from June up to date.

Examiner Hill: Is there anything further? Mr. Berry: We have no questions.
