FINAL CHANGES
! IN WAVE LENGTHS
Federal Radio Commission
Makes Report Preparatory
to Frequency Assignments.

to their new frequency assignments,
announced the final changes in wave
length and power ALLEGATIONS until the
close of the two-month temporary Ii
cense power.
During the next eight weeks. it is
believed, the assignments will demon
strate whether these theoretical allo-
cations are going to stand the test of
actual broadcasting and the criticism
of the stations themselves as well as
the listeners.
The decision of the commission to
let the assignments stand is being re-
ceived with favor by the stations,
radio editors. log book makers and
fans, who have been driven nearly
frantic during the last month or so
by the many shifts and changes.
