Phi|co Products Asks
Permission 10 Drop
1eIevision Project

The deral Communications
Commission today received request
from John Ballantyne, president OF
Philco Products, Inc, for permission
to withdraw without prejudice" the
company's application for COM
mercial television station here.
In letter to the commission, Mr..
Ballantyne expressed himself as
deeply shocked by a recent FEC
proposed decision to give three ap-
plicants construction permits and
grant a fourth either to the Philco
firm or Allen B. Du Mont Labor
atories, Inc, on the basis of oral
argument.
Grounds Called Ample.
An FEC spokesman said the COM
mission had not had opportunity to
study Mr.. Ballantyne's request.
In his letter, Mr.. Ballantyne called
attention to his company's work
with an experimental television
transmitter at Lee highway and
Florida street. Arlington, Va, and
stated his belief Philco Products
had ample grounds TO contest the
decision of the commission in its
entirety"
However, we have no desire to
engage in controversy with any of
the other groups who are anxious
to obtain television stations in
Washington" the letter added. Mr..
Ballantyne said his company
planned to continue research work
and had worked out ways and
means of cooperating with certain
other companies"
Oral Argument Not Set.
The Du Mont firm also is engaged
in experimental television work here,
with tranSmitter at the Harring-
ton Hotel.
The oral argument on the basis
of which the FEC announced it
planned to choose between the two
has not been scheduled
The three other applicants due to
receive construction permits are The
