Kemper, Dayton business man. hopeg to put some interference in plans of Stanley Coning to start an AM radio station in Eaton. Kittyhawk was one of the unsuccessful applicants for one of the few AM licenses ly available for southwestern Ohio, northern Kentucky and eastern ABC GO-AHEAD GIVEN Ch. 22 to Fight Sale of Ch.

16 American Broadcasting Corp. intends to exercise a purchase option granted earlier and buy WKTR-TV I Channel 16 from Kittyhawk Television Corp. in Day- ton. Indiana. An examiner for the eral Communications Fed- I (4 com- I HA ftfinn com month mission ruled last that Coning's application variety of standard broadcast and television stations.

One of the factors weighing against the Kittyhawk application, as written, was that the proposal "cannot be engineered to provide alt of Kettering with coverage without part of such contour intruding into Dayton," said the examiner's report. Naumowicz's comments also Indicated that the Kettyhawk application In several relatively important areas, such as sources of potential advertising revenue and the extent to which Kettering is already served by other stations, was prepared on less than concrete information. The application of Gem City, based on more solid research Info community desires and service by existing stations, also reached the conclusion that Kettering needs an AM station of its own, said the decision. THE GEM CITY application, according to the decision, projected first-year advertising revenue at $166,200. with $84,700 already committed, including $48,000 from Elder-Beerman Stores "an entity under substantially common ownership with Gem City," said the 'decision.

Several factors apparently were against the Gem City proposal. One is that the site that was proposed would be unsuitable unless filled, because much of it is under seven feet of water, and the site, generally, is below the level of surrounding land by as milch as 30 feet. "It is highly Improbable that the cost (of fill) thereof would be iasignificant and not impossible that it might exceed all the rest of Gem City's expenses combined," noted Naumowicz in his decision. Hie Gem City application, Naumowicz did not that an attorney for Gem City failed to inform the FCC that a National Labor relations iard (NLUR) ruled on Apr. 9, JlfliU, that KMer-Beermnn Stores Corp.

h.id 'onuatfed in conduct violating the National Labor Relations law. Naumowicz' pointed out that Arthur Beer-man is the chief stockholder In both Elder-Beerman Stores Corp. and Gem City Broadcasting An attorney for Gem City, according to Naumowicz, decided that the NLHB case did not have to lie retried to the FCC because it was being apiealed and was not final. The question was brought to the attention of the FCC by Kittyhawk, according to the FCC decision. OF GEM CITY'S house" counsel' and his failure to report the NLUR ruling to the FCC, Naumowicz had this to say: "It is concluded that he sought the advice of an inappropriate specialist only, because he knew that his duty was and realized that his best hope of receiving contrary advice lay in consulting an attorney no more expert than himself in the field of communications law." On granting the Coning application for a station license to complement the FM license I 1 1 in Eaton, the FCC examiner said that: Some "5,000 persons, whose, only present outlet is a single FM station, can be given their first local standard broadcast station; a grey area of 3,400 persons can be brought a second reception service; objectionable interference to.

some ,1,000 jiersons can be eliminated, and a total of approximately persons' already well served can be brought a new reception." IF THIS roST'of making the site usable for the proponed antenna structure is entirely disproportionate In the value of the project, wrolc Naumowicz, the FCC "cannot assure that rational men will bear such cost," The fear that Naumowicz raised was tint Gem City, if granted a license, would amend iits application and request permission to use another site. Naumowicz also concluded that the stations proposed by Gem City and Kittyhawk would serve not only Kettering, but substantial portions of Dayton, and that the proposed stations would compete with existing Dayton stations. Since December, 1965, FCC policy has been to regard applications for licenses to put stations in suburban communities adjacent to large cities as deserving, less than favorable consideration on the basis that such suburban stations become "substandard central city stations." I'NDEK THIS FCC -policy, wrote Naumowicz, applications such as those filed by Gem City and, Kittyhawk pre considered as applications for central city stations and are treated as such. Kittyhawk, according to the decision, would serve one-third of Dayton, Gem City about one-half. The Gem City application, wrote Naumowicz, "does little to dispel the presumption of an intention to compete in and serve the central city." The decision also concluded that Kettering has definite programming needs, but added that a question exists whether the needs can be met by the proposals made.

And Kettering does receive "significant" coverage from central city stations, he ruled. ALTHOUGH not a determining factor In had been approved, The Kemper approval stands unless reversed by a review board on appeal. KEMPEK INTENDS to do all he can to see thai the decision favoring Coning Is reversed. Even if Kemper is successful, the victory, if it takes as long to accomplish as the oiis-inal application fight, could be years away. Applications for the license were first filed three years ago.

When the flurry was over, there were seven applicants, including Kemper, for Kittyhawk, and Dayton, business man Arthur Eeerman, as part of Gem City Broadcasting Co. One of the apparent keys in the decision by Chester F. Naumowicz Jr. favoring Eaton is that Eaton has one FM radio station, but that no standard broadcast or television stations are in operation in that aret of Preble county 20 miles west of BOTH KETTEItlNG and according to the Naumowicz decision, are 'served by a But the purchase won't be (accomplished without a 'fight from the owner of WKEF-TV Channel 22, the Springfield (Mass.) Broadcasting Corp. John Campbell, president of I ABC Television Companies, which handles ABC-o -T and-operated stations, told The Daily News late Thursday I that he has been authorized by ABC's board of directors I to exercise the option to buy iWKTR for 51,850,000.

I KITTYHAWK shareholders meet Saturday to vote on the proposed sale. Opposition to the sale comes from owners of VVKEF, which now uses ABC programs. I "We have until the close iof business (Friday) to pre-Jvent it (the sale) from hap-jpening at all," said George Mitchell, vise president of I Springfield Broadcasting and general manager of its Dayton station, WKEF. "We're not through fighting this thing," said Mitchell, who had hopes his Dayton station would become an ABC affili-: ate "Our top management will talk to ABC's top management today." IF SPUING FIELD Broad-J casting cannot talk ABC out rof going ahead with the purchase, an objection will be filed with the Federal Com- munications commission when ABC seeks approval, said Mitchell. Even without a fight, completion of the sale of Kitty-hawk to ABC could take two years.

With a legal 'fight, it could take four years, trade sources estimate. ABC's Campbell said the ABC board of directors gave him authority to buy on Tuesday. Further talks were held with Kittyhawk's attorney before pubic confirmation was made Thursday night. The purchase, Campbell said will proceed subject to the drafting of a definitive purchase agreement, Kittyhawk shareholder approval and FCC TRADE SOURCES estimate that Dayton is considered to be only about the 40th best television market in the country. Asked why ABC would be interested in a UHF station ownership in such a market, Campbell offered this explanation: Dayton ranks from 27th to 44th, depending on the type of criteria used.

"Dayton is a vital, growing ABC's primary affiliate in Dayton (YVLW-D Channel 2) is switching to NBC next year. Dayton has only two VHF stations. "If you are going to own and operate a UHF you want as, little VHF competition as i 1 There aren't many markets like that."

To illustrate with one horror story, an estimated 39 million of us have been diagnosing and treating conditions ranging from cancer to chicken pox and jealousy on the basis of a single drop of blood from the patient.

When federal officials ran their own test, the machine failed to detect the fact that it was being fed blood samples from a turkey, a pig and a sheep rather than from three children. NEVERTHELESS, once a "diagnosis" had been made, the practitioner arrived at a special "vibration rate" for each patient and treated the patient's disease by radioing back into him the supposedly "normal" vibration rate. For those unable to visit the practitioner's office, it was said that healing vibrations could be broadcast to reach him anywhere on earth.

To illustrate with another equally shocking tale, elaborate machine claimed to be able to cure cancer, diabetes, heart disease and a wide variety of other serious conditions by "attuned color waves" shined on erring parts of the body. The primary medical qualification of the machine's inventor was an "honorary M.D." To illustrate with still another, desperate Americans have paid important sums to a practitioner who claimed he could diagnose and cure anything from double-vision to a "bone" in the colon simply by using an elaborate-looking radio device. THEN THERE are devices for which trusting (or ling) sould among us have actually which "charge" your body with electrical energy and determine the wavelength of your cells so that the wavelength can be rearranged to restore your health and magnetize or demagnetize you, depending on your heeds. There's even a machine which can, in the words of its inventor, "straighten out people who walk lopsided." Most quack devices are fitted out with impressive-looking dials, switches, buttons, flashing lights, other space-age trimmings.

Why do countless thousands of Americans, including the Intelligent and well-educated, fall every year for this unbelievable array of quack gadgets and machines? Why do they spend a staggering $2 billion a year on machines or treatments utterly incapable of diagnosing or curing the myriad diseases they are supposed to' diagnose and cure. JAMES HARVEY YOUNG, history professor at Emory university, offered one explanation at the recent congress on health quackery sponsored by the American Medical association in Chicago: "We live in an age of the absurd. We will always live in an age in which people's hope for health outrun viable possibilities." Humans Look for Magic A Food and Drug administration official offered another more succintly: "The human desire for magic runs deep." Putting it even more bluntly, the victim of a devastatingly painful, progressive or fatal disease often will find a quack's cut-and-dried diagnosis and sure "cure" irresistible, and the Over-Counter Markets Th following fluotstlons- are furnished by Dsyton member of th Nlionl Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

I WHAT'S MORE, federal regulation of quack medical de-Mces has not kept pace with the proliferation of the devices. There are bills before Congress to impose stricter of the use and sale of such devices just as drugs under itoday's laws must be proven both safe and effective before Jthey can be sold to the public. But as the law stands now, the Food and Drug administration may ban a medical device from the market only after it ias proven, usually through lengthy legal proceedings, that the leviee is unsafe or ineffective.

Thu3, basically it comes down to this: You must protect yourself and your friends and relatives (particularly if they are aged) from the medical quacks. And your basic protections are: stick with a legitimate, rained, medically qualified physician; avoide any quack, easy 'secret" machines; be acutely skeptical of any formula advertised by a practitioner who claims that the medical estab-lishment is afraid of the "competition" of his sure cure.
