The new station will broadcast at 92.1 megacycles on the FM band. Prell explains the new broadcasting concept this way: "With the FM multiplex system of broadcasting, you are able to receive FM radio broadcasts in stereo. To do this KSOM-FM broadcasts two different signals limul-taneously over one channel.

You receive and distribute them to your stereo system with the help of a multiplex converter."

At the time, in 1957, smuggling of arms across the border was quite common. Now, with the IRA abandoning entirely its scheme of forcefully trying to unite free Ireland with British-ruled Ulster, the Illicit flow of contraband across the border could come to a complete stop.

In trench coats and slouch hats, small IRA bands streaked across Ireland by night, waiting in the bushes for the "call of the curlew," the imitation bird call that signified the time for attack. By day, they hid out in the mountains, housed and fed by an equally well organized women's auxiliary, and a junior branch composed of Irish boy scouts. Money-Saving Knowledge at Your Service This St Without Lack Of Support Hits 50-Year-Old Group (When St Patrick's Day rolls around this Saturday, It'll be without the Irish Re fkublican Army. After near half a century, the IRA has just disbanded as an underground fighting force.

Now all that remains is a review of Its past, a rich blend of the tragic, the humorous, and the bizarre.) Bv HUGH MULLIGAN AP Newsfeatures Writer Now, paddy dear, and did you hear the news that's going round? They say the IRA the Irish Republican Army, mind you has dumped its arms, defused its bombs and henceforth will pursue the peaceful purpose of keeping Ireland neutral and out of alliances that might lead to war. How's that for a shocker? You'd no more expect to find the IRA thumping for peace than you'd expect to see an orangeman sprouting a shamrock come St Patrick's day this Saturday. But that's the word from Dublin. It seems the IRA is so down in the mouth over its lack of public support in the recent election that it has abandoned entirely its scheme of forcefully trying to unite Free Ireland with British-ruled Ulster. Picture that, if you can.

Sure now, what will the novelists do for a plot, and the poets for a rhyme and the playwrights for a second act without the IRA around for them to hang their dramatic hats on? What will the rest of the country do for a bit of excitement when the bold lads will no longer be popping across the border in the dead of night to blow up a police barracks or two? And what will Hollywood do with all those left over trenchcoats and wide-brim fedoras? For nearly 50 years now, Irish literature, politics, journalism, pulpit oratory and everyday pub conversation have simmered and boiled with the doings of the secret underground army organiza tion.

The only leader to escape the hangman's noose was Eamon De Valera.

He had the good fortune to be born in the United States, a handy statistic at a time when England was trying to persuade America to enter the war. By the end of World War De Valera's Sinn Fein Party, with IRA backing, had captured 73 of the 105 Irish seats in Parliament. Many of those elected were already in jail, De Valera among them, for revolutionary activities. The rest, instead of taking their seats, stayed home and again proclaimed a republic. With the regular Irish police force resigning by the thousands and the IRA blowing up everything in sight, the British brought in the "Black and Tans" and the auxiliaries, better known as "The Auks," to restore order.

The Black and Tans, so named because of their khaki tunics and black berets, were paid mercenaries who worked for 10 shillings a day and pursued a policy of matching IRA tactics, terror for terror. Every time the IRA blew up a bridge or a police barracks, the Black and Tans set fire to house or demolished a market place. The auxiliaries were mustered-out British officers who augmented the dwindling Irish police force. For three years, from 1918 to 1921, Ireland was the scene of daily horrors and nightly raids as the IRA and the Black and Tans engaged in an underground war of attrition. Under the leadership of Michael Collins, who calmly walked the streets of Dublin with a 10,000 pound price on his head, the IRA became a well disciplined, expertly organized fighting organization, far cry from the poets and dreamers who staged the Easter uprising.

Its main task force was the tightly knit "Active Service Units" that carried out demolition jobs both at home and in England with incredible speed and legendary stealth.

Like much else in Ireland's past, the history of the IRA is steeped in tragedy, humor and confusion. Its roots go jback to the Fenian Brother hood, the secret, oath-bound society formed In the United State by Irish officers who had fought in the civil war and who regarded it as their sacred duty to free Ireland from Britain by force of arms. But, oddly enough, the IRA owed its immediate beginning to the Orangemen of Ulster. Shortly before World War when Ireland seemed on the verge of obtaining a modicum of home rule from England, the Protestant dominated country. Just to give them something to fight against, should the wind blow that way, the Catholic-dominated counties in the south formed the Irish Volunteers.

With civil war threatening, the British decided to delay home rule for Ireland until after World War I. Some 200,. 000 Irishmen came forth to fight the Germans, but many of the rebels stayed at home to wage guerrilla warfare against the British, leaning on counties in the north formed the Ulster volunteers to fight, if necessary, against being separated from the mother the old maxim that "England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity." On Easter Sunday, 1916, a doughty band of 1,200 poets, scholars, bank clerks and shopkeepers attacked the General Post Office and held it for more than a week.
