24 A 1965 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH FCC Asked to Extend Permit To Build UHF-TV Station Here FAMOII jo a tttt -i "Once we get that done, we will move right ahead. "We have no intention of delaying and no reason to do so. Every day more and more people are buying television sets that can pick up all channels, including ultra high frequency.

Fellows would not estimate how long it might take to get the station on the air. However, he said, there would be a lapse of at least six months in receiv ing Hie station equipment once it is ordered, and then time must be allowed for construc tion. Increase in Power Wanted The company plans to ask the FCC to switch its designation to channel 24, which hag been made available to St. Louis through a national readjustment of fre i I i I I quencies approved by the FCC a short time ago. Fellows said I increased power also would be I By a Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON, June 10 A firm planning to build St, Louis's first ultra high frequency television station has run into delays but is anxious to get on the air as soon as possible, a spokesman said today.

Continental Summit Television Corp. has asked the Federal Ownmunications Commission to extend its construction permit for six months. The permit expired May 31. Boyd Fellows, assistant to ih president of the corporation, said that although the FCC had not acted on the request, Continental Summit was confident it would be approved. Last Sept.

30, the FCC granted a permit to the Globe Television Corp. giving it eight months to complete construction of a station to use channel 30 in St. Louis. Globe subsequently changed its name to Continental Summit. The permit said the station's tower and antenna were to be atop the Missouri Pacific Building, 1228 Olive street.

Site Change Contemplated Fellows said today that the FCC would be asked to approve a change in site. On reason a time extension is required, he said, is that the company is awaiting results of an engineering survey intended to determine the best location for the equipment so that the station will be able to aim its strongest signal at the largest possible population areas. The Missouri Pacific Building Is unsatisfactory as a site, Fellows said, because other tall downtown office buildings would interfere with the signal beamed toward the Illinois part of the listening area. Fellows, former general man-eer of educational station KETC in St. Louis, said Continental Summit was also negotiating for a studio site in St.

Louis. He declined to say where the site is. "Our main problem has been getting the site nailed down," he said, referring to both the studio and transmitter locations. sought. The new table of channel allocations adds a UHF educational channel, 41, to the St.

Louis area. The only other I change in the existing allocation pattern was to make the city's two commercial UHF channels 24 and 30 instead of 30 and 42. Continental Summit is capitalized at $300,000. It is one of 11 corporations making up the Continental Television Enterprises, group, which plans to i 1 i JJlW -'A' VjrvJ operate at least six UHF sta tions in the United States. The FCC has granted construction permits for stations in Miami, and San Jose, as well as St.

Louis, and is considering applications to build stations in St. Paul, Columbus, 0., and Washington. Continental and all its subsidiaries are headed by Vincent B. Welch, president, and Edward P. Morgan, vice presidents, partners in a Washington law firm.

Fellows is assistant to the president of all of the companies. St. Louis has five stations, including one educational, operating on very-high-frequency channels but no UHF operation. 4 LABOR RELATIONS BOARD HAD RECORD CASELOAD TUIELESS WHITEWALt plui Mra tax and aid tlr CHICAGO, June 10 (AP)-The I ELECTRONIC LIGHTING TO AID FLIGHT TO MOON NEEDHAM. June 10 (AP) Electronic display instruments in electroluminescence will help Apollo astronauts to a safe landing on the moon.

The instruments will consist of five digits displayed on a 2-by-4-inch flat surface. The numbers will indicate changes in the speed at which the moon craft is traveling. Electroluminesc creates light through the excitation of phosphors in an electrical field. No bulbs or filaments are used in construction and, unlike electromechanical instruments, they are not affected by irregular gravity fields. Sylvania, which has been a pioneer in development of electroluminescence, has been awarded a contract for the instruments by Grumman Aircraft Engineering which is developing the moon ship.
