...bedside manners had Lieutenant Governor John Henry Stelle (rhymes with bell), 48, lean and tough, who had not unreasonably assumed he should be at least Acting Governor.

Less than mum were editorial writers who thundered at what seemed to be arbitrary restriction of a new and promising industry. To answer them lean, balding FCC Chairman James Lawrence Fly last week took to the air. Gist of his defense: if RCA's transmission methods should be superseded by technological developments (now being tested by Philco, DuMont and other RCA competitors), its sets would be useless, purchasers might have to discard them as obsolescent...
