- Description:
- Dr. Amelia G. Roy complained about a ruling by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that she believed was unfavorable to her Short-Wave diathermy apparatus. Congressman George B. Schwabe contacted the FCC and received a response indicating that the proposed allocation of radio frequencies for medical equipment was still under consideration. The FCC had held hearings and received testimony from various services, including medical, regarding the need for frequencies. The FCC's proposal included designated frequency bands for medical use to reduce interference with radio reception. The final decision on allocations would be made after further consideration of evidence and input from interested parties.
