Seeks Permit
 To Establish Radio Station
Charles GreenbIatt, Local Store Executive, Files
 Application With Govt

Acting for Charles Green blatt, local chain store execu- tive, Attorney Milton Meyers of the law firm of Meyers and Meyers has filed with the federal communications com mission at Washington an application for a permit to operate a new radio station in Bridgeport. The applica- tion calls for a 25O-watt sta tion, to be operated on a ire quency of 1190 kilocycles.
 The application is contingent upon a change in the frequency of Station WATR, Waterbury, and that stations operation on full time. The com mission has already granted WATR full-time privileges, but has not yet assigned the local station to its new frequency.
 MT. Greenblatt's proposed station would operate as a local station in Bridgeport. It would take over the frequency on which WATR now operates.
 A hearing on the application will be set down as soon as the com munications committee has held hearings on the WATR beginning of full-time operation and change of frequency. Attorney Meyers pre- sented the application to the com- mission as an attorney privileged to practice before that body.
