The boundedness of the operator \[ T_{\alpha ,\beta}f(x)=\lim_{\varepsilon\rightarrow 0+}\int_{0}^{1}e^{it^{-\alpha}}f(x-t) {dt\over t^{\beta}} \] in \(L^{p}\) was studied by Hirschman, for \(\alpha >0\), \(\beta >1\) and for a certain range of the parameters \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\). The author considers the operator \(T_{z}f\) defined as the principal value of the convolution of the function \(f\) with the kernel \[ K(t)=e^{i\gamma (t)}{t^{-z}\over \psi (t)^{1-z}}. \] Here the singularity is worse than a power, which is the case in Hirschman's result. Under some regularity conditions on \(\psi\) and \(\gamma\) and some relations between \(\psi\) and \(\gamma\) it is shown that the operator \(T_{\theta }\) is a bounded operator on \(L^{p}\) for \(1/p=(1+\theta)/2\), \(0\leq\theta <1\), and the operator is also bounded from \(H^{1}\) to \(L^{1}\).
