GOVERNMENT. LOSES IN FIRST
'"AIR PIRACY SUIT
Zenith Company Uuheld; Wireless
Act of 1012 Declared
' Ambiguous
CHICAGO. April 16. (By As
sociated Press.) The : first "air
piracy", case In the history of
radio, in the 'United States was
decided here totrhy In favor, of
the Zenith Radio corporation and
its president, Eugene F. McDon
ald, Jr., against the government in
the court of federal district Judge
James H. Wilkerson. The gov
ernment in criminal ', action
charged the defendants with - op
erating radio apparatus contrary
to the license issued to the corpor
ation's station WJAZ. Four speci
fic allegations were made.
The1 court held that sections one
and two of the wireless act of
1912 the only laws existing that
apply -to broadcasting were
ambiguous and that the act itself
did not empower the secretary of
commerce with certain descretlon
ary powers which he has allegedly
assumed. The decision' Is con
sidered by attorneys as- blanket
ing' the administrative I rulings of
the secretary of commerce. :
Station WJAZ was (licensed to
operate one! night a week, fori two
ho'urs on the same wave length
of 332.4 meters assigned to the
General Electric company station
KOAU at Denver, Unable to ob
tain permission for more time
WJAZ wilfully "pirated" a wave
length which was set aside for use
of Canadian broadcasting stations,
and according to the briefs in the
case, took this action in the hope
of initiating court action and
bringing about legislation and
clarification of the existing broad
casting laws and regulations. In
addition to using the wave length
the station also extended its time
on the air.
