VOL RADIO GRANT
Power Increase and Shift to
1890 Channel UpheId-To
Move to K Street.

The Federal Communications Com
mission today reaffirmed its action of
last July in granting Station VOL
authority to increase its power from
100 to 1000 watts and to shift from
the 1910 kilocycle to the exclusive
1890 channel.
The grant was reaffirmed after some
of the applicants seeking authority
to establish new broadcasting stations
in the District had filed protests.
With increased power and So
called "clear channel" VOL will be
in position to advance into the select
group of the country's broadcasting
stations. Already it is making ar
rangements to move its studios into
new quarters in building now near
ing completion in the 1000 block of K
street. The station now is located
in the Annapolis Hotel.
VOLS advancement into the
higher-powered group of stations
also has been made possible by its
recent afiliation with the Mutual
Broadcasting System, without severing
its long relationship with the So
called intercity group. AS result,
the station has the pick of programs
of two networks.
The commissions action in approv-
ing for the second time VOLS ap-
plication for increased power and
new broadcasting band is regarded as
significant in Washington radio cir
cles, in view of the efforts of a num-
ber of applicants for permission to
establish additional stations in the
District. Several of the applicants
represent chain newspaper owners.

Plummers hospital and dental ex-
penses, was seen talking to the boy.
I'm sorry it happened" the dog
catcher said, "but the boy was annoy
ing me with his remarks while was
performing my duty"
Plummer said he "felt pretty swell
today. but if I had it all to do over
again I'd do exactly the same thing
again."

Connecticut avenue and S street.
The dog, more or less neighborhood
pet, but unclaimed, was reported to
the pound as a STRAY dog without a

to coax the dog, but failing there, he
used the net and caught him.

ing remarks to me and about me-

evidence of the corner stone being the
second one from the bottom Of the
northeast corner. about foot and
half from the ground.
While no written record was made
Of this, Maj. Locke is satisfied the
memories Of these older employees In
his Office must be correct.
In his search to locate the corner
stone, Maj. Locke had the paint
scraped from several stones near the
base of the White House at the
northeast corner, but no clues were
produced.
It was pointed out that the Gus
tomary corner stone inscription was
on the inside of the block and would
not be found by scraping the outside
surface.
As it stands now, the hunt for posi-
tive proof Of the location Of the cor
ner stone will be abandoned, since
Maj. Locke Is unwilling to risk dam
aging the foundation by tearing out
the stone in question.
