Limited Sale of Air Time
I Permitted by F. c. c.
By WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.

ss-s by WILLIAM j. WHEATLEY.
The Federal Communications
Commission has granted permission
70 applicants to begin regular, conix
1nercial television broadcasts on
September l. it was learned today
I Such broadcasts may be made in
washington on that date, if an ap-
plication is received for a station
here.
Television programs have been
bent out experimentally for some
time, but this marks the first at
.tFmpt at broadcast for general pub
Nc use.
1t was indicated that broadcasters
would need the time from now until
September l to get their stations
ready to 60 on the air. The commits
= sion agreed only to a limited COM
generalization of the programs dur
tng the early broadcasts-approxi-
mately enough to cover costs.
$ Applications from score or more
sbroadcasters are on hand at the
Commission and the Television Com
tnittee will now consider these. No
standards of engineering were ap-
proved by the Commission for the
guidance of the committee consid-
ering applications, but certain gen.
'eral rules were laid down.
Thorough Study Made.
$ All applications have been held
up for some time while the Commits
sion has studied the reports made by
the Television Committee, which
has made thorough study 70 de-
termlne whether the new art was
ready for public reception.
: The Commissions action in ap-
proving limited commercialization OF
the programs is expected to result
in the filing of large number of
new applications for the very limited
facilities in the television broadcast
band. The first programs will give
the Commission some idea as to how
the new art may be used for pro-
sgramming purposes.
Only certain channels in the radio
spectrum have been shown to be
adaptable to television broadcasting
and it was for this reason that the
committee recommended a limita-
Zion on the number of channels
which could be assigned to cities
throughout the country. 1t pro-
posed that three channels be allo-
-cated to cities whose metropolitan
district exceed 100000 population,
two channels to cities of not less
than 100000 or more than 1000 900,
land one channel to cities of less
than 100000.
Public Protected.
< 1t was pointed out that each tele-
vision channel occupies 600 times
the ether space required for the
present standard sound broadcast
channel, and that even the seven
developed television channels oc-
cupy nearly 80 per cent of the en-
tire radio spectrum available today
for all types of practical radio COM
munication.
One of the problems which faced
the commission was whether the
television art had reached such a
stage of development as to assure
Sthe public who purchase receivers
that rapid changes would not be too
expensive.
It was reported that it is now
possible to project clear image on
to a screen approximately feet by
6 feet.

Sunday Services In Community
Churches
RED HOUSE LUTHERAN PARISH
A. X. Jones, Pastor

The Sunday schools and the young
peoples society of the parish meet at
the usual time next Sunday, and the
church service at st. Johns is at 10:4O
in the morning.
We shall have our Thanksgiving
Day service at Red House at 1000
o'clock that morning. Let every Amer
lean home and every center of Chris
tan worship unite with the multitudes
in giving all honor to God for His
great goodness to us. When we re-
member the distressing conditions in
other lands, we are apt to find it too
easy to be grateful to God. ENTER
into His gates with thanksgiving, and
into His courts with praise!" But GER
tainly more is required of US this year.
Unless we worship God with truly re-
pentant hearts, and pray earnestly for
His mercy, the hour we spend in His
house of praise will bring little COM
fort. We invite the entire community
to come with US, and help US to pray
earnestly for forgiveness and peace
for ourselves and for all mankind.

Football Fan Must Tell Judge
Of Car Seat Tilt With Officer

The arresting officer was H. H.
Vogel of the Traffic Division. Ac-
cording to his immediate superior,
Inspector Arthur Miller, he reported
the following:
Officer Vogel worked an hour
overtime and boarded the street car
at 4 pm. He "dozed off" on the
car and didn't awake until he heard
some one ask him if he had paid
a fare. He responded that he had
not. The man then suggested that
he give up his seat which Officer
Vogel promptly did and woman
sat down The man, Mr.. James,
then began a controversy" and
Officer Vogel decided he was CON
siderably intoxicated" although not
dead drunk"
Inspector Miller said his own
knowledge of Officer Vogel made
him feel confident the officer would
have followed Maj. Browns orders
If he had been awake.
Oficer E. H. Henson of the tenth
precinct said later that Mr.. James
had been drinking, but he wouldn't
say he was drunk. Mr.. James as
serts he had only one drink at the
game. Mr.. James also points out
that he wouldn't have been released
if he had been drunk.
The judge will decide the differ
ence between lone drink" and con-
siderably intoxicated" as it affects
street car riding.
