Philco Corp. wants the Federal
Communications Commission to
lift its freeze on new television
station grants now.
David B. Smith, Philco vice
president and engineering expert,
presented his company's request
at FEC current hearings on the
possibility Of authorizing color op-

investment in present receivers
must be preserved.
He explained this meant that
color broadcasts must be handled

suffer any loss In television serv-
