last night by Campbell c. Johnson,
executive secretary of the Twelfth

the Parent Teachers Association at
the Briggs-Montgomery S C h l.,
Twenty-third and E Streets North

say they have not interfered either with
each other or with the larger stations
At the same time. they feel that their
programs have filled definite need
Each of the stations affected by the
order feels that it should be the excep-
ton, that the community it represents
best deserves to have a radio station
To a degree, broadcasters are willing
to pool their arguments, but when it
comes to preparations for the final
fight in Washington. July 9, most of
them believe that they will have better
chances If they play their own hand.

and WDz. Tuscola we're advised by
Commissioner Pickard to consolidate
before attempting to build up a pro-
test case. At first, they agreed, but
now each is busy with its own case.
They say that a consolidation would
defeat their own case, adding that
where one community would gain, two
other communities would lose.
The situation is virtually the same
with other stations in downstate Illi-
nois. WMBD. Peoria WTAD Quincy:
