scientists and electronics engineers to generate power of more than 1000 watts at these frequencies To complicate matters further numerous tests have shown much power is required at the ultra high frequencies than in the existing TV bands to achieve equivalent coverage The one alternative open to the commission is to use the frequencies between the low frequency and high frequency sections of the existing television bands from 88 to 174 megacycles This would open up several new TV channels but would entail again moving FM and the communication agencies presently occupying these channels to other frequencies Such procedure would render worthless thousands of existing transmitters and receivers used In military police aviation and other communications systems FCC Seeks Answer With the responsibility for the future sucess or failure of nationwide television together with the necessity of maintaining other essential communication services resting squarely on its shoulders the FCC is reported to be making the greatest effort in its history to come up with the right answer Chairman Wayne Coy has indicated the freeze will be lifted sometime during the Spring or Summer of 1951 at which time the FCC will resume processing applications A third question being raised pertains to the recent completion of the microwave relay system of TV transmission between San Francisco and Los Angeles a system being used In a transcontinental telecast structure now under construction This San Francisco-Los Angeles system makes use of a series of transmitter and receiver locations atop high peaks of (he Coast Range transmission being carried on by station to station hops A line of sight must exist between transmitter and receiver and because of the curvature of the earth they cannot be too far apart Spacings of from 30 to 65 miles are in general use Relay Stations No Help With these miscrowave relay stations comparatively near Fresno why cannot residents here have improved TV reception as a consequence? The transmission from one microwave relay station to the next is concentrated into a narrow beam instead of being radiated in all directions as it done in radio broadcasting As a result only receivers located on a path between two relay stations could receive directly programs from a microwave relay system Such reception would require a very high receiving antenna protruding up into the beam plus a highly specialized receiver to operate on a frequency as high as 7000 megacycles or 7000000000 cycles a second Briefly TV programs originating in one city are transmitted to other distant cities by means af these networks and then released over regular television transmitters to be picked up for reception in the home Highway Work Totals $7000000 Continued From Page 1-A mine the best location for the highway through Delano In Tulare County paving was completed on the new north bound lane of the main highway from a point one mile south of Tipton to the Tulare Airport at a cost of $693000 Work is underway on grading and construction of structures on the new location of the Golden State Highway between the airport and Tagus Costing approximately $970000 this work is not scheduled for completion until late in 1951 after which paving contracts will be let Bids were opened Wednesday for four laning a portion of the main north- south highway between Goshen and Traver Griffith Company submitted a low bid of $660552 An interchange at the Plaza intersection and four laning of the highway between Traver and the Kings River are In the planning stage Set May Completion Two projects underway in Madera County will complete the divided highway between a point rwTT--kVT rv on frn 1-5 miles north of Madera and LONDON Dec 30 UP The and should be completed Kern Man Is Bankrupt Floyd Raymond Byrum 1123 Chester Place Bakersfield recently filed voluntary bankruptcy petition the federal district court He lists assets of $850 and liabilities $539055 New Eve Dance Fresno Memorial Auditorium Manuel Contreras and his orchestra Free gardenias noise makers 9 to 2 AM (adv Enters Bankruptcy Alexander Otto 1129 West Rialto Avenue paint seller and distributor has filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy He lists assets of S43-61529 and liabilities of $2320763 Wylie Philip Dodgson Book Store (adv Suitcase Is Stolen Joseph Mills of Pasadena reported his suitcase was stolen from a bus while the vehicle was stopped the Greyhound Bus Depot at Mariposa and Streets China Explains Steos Against US Meeting Is Called Mrs Mollie Diener will preside at a meeting of the Edison 'Social Club Ladles Auxiliary in the dub hall Tuesday at 8 PM Mrs Mary Fleming is the refreshments committee chairman Theft Is Reported Jack Har-by of 1632 Andrews Avenue reported the fender skirts were stolen from his car while it was parked -near the Frank Ball Playground Always See I Priest 2125 Inyo St for good used cars (adv 21 Ilour Radio and refrigerator services 2434 Tulare (adv Files Divorce Suit Erma A Johnston alleges cruelty in her divorce action against Keepers George Johnston The couple were married in Sanger 28 years ago and have no minor children Mrs Johnston asks the superior court to make an equitable division of their community property Dodge Cleaners sets the pace for top quality dry cleaning Craftsmanship!

Program For 1951 WASHINGTON Dec UP Secretary of State Dean Ache-son tonight charted a six point program to meet the of a 1951 emergency which he said springs from clear willingness to use force to gain her ends In a yearend statement he said 1950 disclosed the Communist politburo ruling Russia is aiming at imperialism" under a camouflage of expressions of a desire for peace In one of his six points Ache-son urged the major parties to the ranks at on foreign policy by continued bipartisan consultation between the Democratic administration and the Republicans This amounted to an appeal by the secretary for his critics to cease attacking him in the crucial year ahead Republicans in both houses of congress have demanded he be ousted This country's policy the last five years seeking unity and security in the free world will go on Acheson said adding are confident it is Cleared The Air Events of 1950 cleared the air of any doubt Russia is willing to use force he said But he expressed confidence the United States and the free world will surmount the crisis we dedicate ourselves to a buildup of strength in the months New weapons he said are being forged which will be available to American forces and their allies Acheson listed these of which he said' must be followed in 1951: The United States must remain true to her tradition of standing Truce Is Declared Terminal Row Continued From Page 1-A 2 weekend before he arrived with hia papers Nelson Hayhurst one of three attorneys said: handed me a copy of the complaint and we accepted It In behalf of Pipes to expedite any action taken by the city No Injunction was served upon us and we are Informed none has been issued his own expense Pipes is voluntarily and temporarily re-' moving the building so that pending determination of his rights there can be no claim he is endangering either life or property or that he is attempting to put undue pressure upon the City of According to Hayhurst Pipes intends to use the tankhouse as a residence for his son Roy Pipes Ozias and other city officials called the removal of the tank-' house from the farmhouse in the center of acreage to a point directly in line with the air- port runway spite and Legal Fight Remains Hie legal battle behind the tankhouse dispute remains According to legal authorities it may be far reaching and affect municipal airport operations throughout the state if not the nation The underlying dispute arises over a $20000 claim for damages by Pipes who Insists CAA restrictions on the hight of buildings and other facilities in the airport flight pattern amounts to confiscation of his property When his claim was filed and denied late last Summer the city commissioners asked the aid of the CAA and other federal agencies contending national airport operations are involved position taken by the city is totally inconsistent with the prior statements and actions of Airport Superintendent Wilmer Hayhurst continued counsel referred to testimony by Garrett in an earlier action in which a superior court 'jury awarded a $16000 judgment to Emil Hedstron another 'neighbor for 10 acres for the airport instrument landing facilities Hayhurst insisted it is difficult to see how the tankhouse is a hazard when Garrett a few months ago testified that even four engined aircraft are at least 400 feet in the air over Shields Avenue when they leave the air terminal the same time Garrett said that if there were any regulations restricting building in the area he would know of them and there were no federal or oth-' er regulations against such Hayhurst continued additional property was necessary for the proper use of the localizer system the city should have acquired it at that Hayhurst said apparently the city commission was not properly advised even while pursuing airport operations diligently so how could Pipes elderly and untrained be expected to that the use of his property will create problems which advisers of the city did not bring to her 'Also involved is the refusal of the county board of supervisors to act on a zoning regulation adopted by the county planning commission to restrict the hight of buildings adjacent to the airport The county delayed action indefinitely after Supervisor Cadwallader contended the city should either buy the affected property or the air rights thereto In the complaint the city declares the enforced use of the emergency landing strip is hazardous and dangerous for the operation at any time of any Ozias document adds the location of the tankhouse done spitefully and maliciously and for the purpose of forcing the plaintiff to either purchase his property or pay him damages because of the flying of aircraft over his The complaint asks the removal of the obstacle a distance of 350 feet and a hearing in 10 days in which Pipes would -be ordered to show cause why a permanent injunction should not be Issued Ho Overhose Necessary YOU DOtCT bm te wear a aecond pair of
