Refresh w-ill follow the business wbieh gets underway at Of Stations Set July I WASHINGTON OLE)' The government has opened the door for the nation to have 2,053 television stations in 1,291 communities most of which now have none. That does not mean that a couple of thousand new TV stations will spring immediately info being.

The whole country now has only 108, and probably no more than a score of- new ones will be operating by the years end. But the federal communications commission at long last has lifted the freeze imposed on new stations Sept, 30, 1948, and has adopted a plan broad enough to permit 2,053 stations in the indefinite future. The 1,291 communities affected are scattered through the 48 states and Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The 1948 freeze was imposed because-interference between stations had developed. In removing the freeze last night, the FCC at the same time announced it had worked out plans for insuring against such interference when new stations are built.

Although not more than 20 or so new stations are expected by the end of this year, some 200 probably will go into operation in 1953. 523 Applications There are 523 applications for new stations already on file. And great numbers are expected to start flowing into Washington this week. The commission will not start processing the applications until July 1. First consideration will go to areas now without TV and to communities where stations are planned in the new ultra high frequency (UHF) band.

The FCC plans also to give priority to applications for non commercial educational stations. It set aside 242 of the 2,053 assignments for such purposes. This is less than half the number of educational TV stations Commis- meeting of the Monterey county estate planning council, it was tween Friday and early today1 repor ay. from the Monterey County Wreck-1 P-m Mr McNeil will discuss some lng yard here. hoist we5ghedi of the legal and accounting as- 300 poundS( he said.

It assigns 12 very high frequency VHF) and 70 UHF channels in such a way that no two stations' signals will get mixed up and spoil horns reception.

VHF is the only band now used. Because UHF television broadcasting will be new, many sets now in homes will have to be modified if UHF stations come into their areas. Sets of the future however, will be equipped to get both bahds. Stations Separated Under the allocation plan, stations using like channels will be separated In a way that, along Lt.

Minimum separations, depending on geographical location, run from 170 to 205 miles on VHF and 155 to 205 miles on UHF. Station applications will be handled in this fashion: 1. Applications for non-com mercial educational stations will ba processed, starting July 1, in the order in which they were re ceived. 2.

Applications for all channels in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands also will be processed in the order they were received, starting July 1. Four Groups Then all other applications will be placed in four groups and will be processed in the order in which they appear in their group. The four groups involve: 1. Changes in VHF channels for 30 existing stations which must shift to a new channel as a result of the new plan, and ap plications for VHF and UHF station's in cities 40 or more miles from a city where a TV station now is operating. 2.

Applications from the cities where UHF channels only are as signed; from cities in which all VHF channels already are assigned and only UHF will be available; from cities receiving only one TV service but having no local station; from cities having only one service from a local station; and applications for cities with two or more services. 3. Applications for 'modification of construction permits granted after today; petitions for reconsideration; and petitions for waiver of hearings 4. Applications filed prior to April 14 for changes in existing facilities; similar applications filed thereafter; and applications for licenses filed after April 14. Educator Protests Describing TV as an electronic blackboard for students and as a teaching tool of rare powers and persuasion, Miss Hennock strong ly dissented from the decision to provide for only 242 educational stations.

She argued that not. only the number is inadequate but the allocation plan will deprive about one-fourth of the metropolitan areas of educational TV. She said only one such reservation is provided for each of seven states having a combined total of 114 reservations. Commissioner Robert F-. Jones also dissented.

He said the plan excludes the smaller cities from the desirable VHF allocation. Rover nnaDmnr Freezer Wrap Coldspot! NeedsNoOuterWao 18-Sn. 100-ft. roll 2.98 For mats, game, bakery, atony usaa. tough papr.
