Aside from the task of realigning
wave and power ALLEGATIONS to the 697
broadcasting stations already operat-
ing within the continental limits of the
United States, the Federal Radio Com
mission is confronted with the rather
irksome problem of taking care of the

These applications have been stead

factory set-up of ALLEGATIONS for the
697 stations now in operation is worked
out the commission is inclined to he
retiCent in doing out new licenses
Further Compicating this problem is
the fact that there are only 50 wave
lengths on which stations can operate.
Considerable pressure is being
brought to bear on the commission for
favorable action on these applications.
The commission has indicated that it
will consider them soon after the in
dividual members return to Washing

to which he now is subjected.
1t is practically certain, however.
that few of these new applications will
be acted upon favorably by the com
mission. This conclusion is based on
