Radio Station Seeks
Permit for Towers

The Montg gomery County
Board of Appeals yesterday
heard the Good Music Station
(WGMS), Ines plea to operate
transmission facilities from
leased space on a farm of Bells
Mill road, nearly a mile from
Seven Locks road.
A prime reason for the four
450-foot towers WGMS wants to
erect in the county is related to
the lively characteristics of radio
signals at night, M. Robert Rog-
ers, general manager of the sta
ton, told the board. Mr.. Rogers
is also vice president of the
WGMS corporation and 20 per
cent stockholder in the concern.
The station, Mr.. Rogers ex-
planned, hopes to extend its reg
ular broadcasting hours into the
evening. This, he said. would be
impossible from the present
transmission setup where radio
signals after sundown, beamed
at Washington and the Metro
politan Area to the north and
northeast, would interfere with
New York and Philadelphia
channels. The stations present
transmission facilities are near
Seven Corners, Falls Church.
The station has applied to
lease space on 106-acre farm
owned by Mrs. Vivian S. Davies.
Were the lease arrangement
to fall through, Mrs. Davies said,
it would be extremely doubtful
that I could keep the property
intact" She said the farm is not
self-supporting at present.
Mr.. Rogers declared operation
of towers and transmitter would
be noiseless, odorless and safe.
The hearing was continued by
Chairman Milton A. Smith, who
noted that the board had other
cases to hear yesterday. Oppo-
sition to the stations proposal
would be heard when the board
reconsiders the matter in about
three weeks, he said.

VA Mortgages
Switch in Policy
Is Indicated After
Secret Briefine

The Veterans Administration
is expected today to announce a
policy switch in favor of boosting
mortgage interest rates on vet
erans' housing from 4 to Az per
cent.
Such a decision, it was under
stood. was outlined by top VA
housing officials at a secret
brieflng yesterday for repre-
sentatives of major veterans Or
ganizations.
Frank w. Kelsey, VA finance
chief, and other officials of the
agency, refused to comment on
the session. Spokesman. how
ever. said that an official state
ment on the housing situation
would be made later today.
Needs Treasury Approval.
The statement is expected to
announce abandonment of VAS
long battle to hold at a 4 per
cent level the rate on loans
guaranteed by the agency. Such
a move needs approval of Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Humphrey.
Earlier this year, VA officials
insisted they would stand pat on
the 4 per cent rate in hopes that
an easing Of the money market
this year would make more
money available for housing
loans. Pressure for a boost has
steadily increased. however.
Another Move Made.
The agency recently proposed
a different stop-gap move on an
informal basis, but did not throw
its full weight behind it. This
would have permitted builders
legally to discount CT housing
loans for as much as 8 per cent,
thereby making the loans more
attractive to lenders. The prac-
tice had been followed by some
builders, but in the absence Of
an official VA stand on its le-
gality.
An interest-rate increase in
veterans housing loans guaran-
teed by the agency. one Official
said, would be expected to be
followed by a boost in FILA
mortgage rates.
