Shull A quick scan of the behind-the-scenes activities of the Federal Communications Commission can bring one to realize abruptly that America's air waves are more congested than the sinuses on a TV cold remedy commercial. The FCC must wage' a continual two-front war on behalf of. (1) those citizens who complain of outsid interference disrupting their radio-TV reception, and (2) those who complain of what they receive when their reception is good. The FCC devotes considerable time to remedying th former, but is powerless to act on the latter. FCC field men devote their time to tracking down IS 30 6 Let's get level: Why are you a TV critic? I'm waiting for a stupid answer.

"Force of Tonight (C) Tracktalk 77 Sunset Strip Impulse" late Show distress buoys for the Navy had been testing the "SOS" signals on his product to the distress of everyone tuned to that frequency. The most persistent problem for the FCC probers is tracking down unlicensed transmitters, usually operated by young men who build their own equipment, assign themselves a frequency and call letters, then go on the air, sometimes interfering with crucial radio communications. You'd fail to recognize the humor, for instance, if your radio-controlled garage door suddenly descended as you were driving in, thanks to an impulse from a bootleg transmitter.

Even the licensed broadcasters sometimes give the FCC fits, as in the case of an Air Force plane flying over Florida. The plane's crew enjoyed the music on its radio frequency from an off-frequency FM radio station until it needed the use of its radio for a delicate in-flight refueling operation, then came the protest, detection and correction. These problems, the FCC can handle. The more knubby ones concerning smelly programming, offensive commercials, and stupid broadcasting station management, the FCC is powerless to handle. When a housewife writes and complains that the deodorant commercials on TV are infinitely more offensive than any of her musky friends, the FCC can only suggest she refer her lament to the network, station or sponsor.

(Freedom of speech, you know.) Nor can the FCC stop stations from mutilating old movies on TV, or prohibit radio stations from cluttering their frequencies all day in give-away contests to spur ratings. The FCC gets an average 2,000 complaints a month ranging from objections to interference to protests against spe :00 McCallum :15 8 30 :45 Adam West On Pico Blvd. ing the ending scene of "Lamp at Midnight" was "infantile and condescending," I found the scene personally satisfy :00 Tell me how old is David McCallum. is he married and does he have children.

In Detroit, for example, a rash of complaints over TV interference brought the wrath of the FCC down on a female dog with a litter of pups. Each time the mother dog shifted, she jostled a short in the heating pad her thoughtful master had put in the whelping box. In Dallas, radio distress calls were being received over the FM band.

Davidson will take phone calls during his 15-minute show in what may be a game of A Londoner, Davidson made a specialty of memorizing statistics on the race. When he first came over two years ago, WIBC's Sid Collins discovered him and put him on the world-wide radio network for the race which Collins annually announces. Since then, Davidson has moved to this country and became a regular part of WIBC's coverage. Speaking of Collins, he again has his six-a-week "Speedway Gossip" show at 6:45 p.m. for the rest of this month.

Collins said about 250 stations in the U.S. and Canada will be hooked in for his half-hour time trial reports on each of the qualification days, and some 800 stations world-wide will be tied to his four-hour Race Day coverage.
