 the sound wave originating in the studio. The process of varying or modifying the carrier wave by i'm posing the sound wave on it is called broadcasting, or amplitude modula- tion, is done by modifying the power or amplitude--of the carrier wave. FrM is accomplished by varying the vibrations, or frequency, of the car rier wave, and is therefore called frequency meditation.
 No Conflict with Standard
 There is no interference between programs broadcast by standard and I'M stations because the two operate in different sections of the radio spectrum-that public domain of the air which the PCC apportions ot all users of radio Each type re- quires it's own home receiver, al though many present-day sets pro- vide for both kinds of reception.
 About 50 commercial FTM sta tions are now operating and there are about 500O00 FM receives in the hands of the upblic. Predictions are that within five years after the war there will be as many as 2,OOO such stations, with home sets num- bering well into the millions.
 Because the EGG looks for huge investment in FM broadcasting equipment and receivin gsets after the war, it has sought to assign the service to place in the radio spec trum which will serve 1t for many years to come. The allocation is op- posed by commercial broadcasters presently operating FM stations, who contend that the proposed standards have not been sufficiently explored by radio technicians. This and other objections will be heard beginning Feb. IA at the final argu- ment on the entire FCC proposals.
 Ownership Restricted
 To avoid monopoly and encour- age local initiative the EGG TOW permits single person or group to control no more than one FM Sta- tion in the same area and not more than six in the whole country. There are presently more than 300 ap- plications in the EGG files for per- mission to build FM stations. When manpower and materials are avall- able the commission will act on them.
 About 30 per cent of these apph- cations are by persons or groups already operating standard stations Tn order to keep the door open tc newcomers the EGG is proposing tc keep free for the time being a DOT tion of the space allotted to FM Licenses to operate in this space allotted to F.M. Licenses to operate in this space can be granted to quail fled persons who may wieh to entel the field at some future time Thus in the interim period before FIN becomes self supporting, those al ready in the broadcasting business will not gain undue advantage b! using studios and personnel alread! assembled.
