'CST iT rv Afwi Wf "S' NEW YORK (AP)- Planning Office The report will be highly critical of the US Railway Association's preliminary plan for restruc- luring bankrupt Northeastern Proposal One which vastly overestimate the potential profitability of the new corporation called Con-Rail set to take over opera- tkxi of the best lines of all the bankrupt carriers next year The planning office recommends a five-year plan to revitalize all the nation's railroads not Just those in the jr'Enginaering ls Probem Another TV Channel ir last resort the report says The rebuilding plan would be financed through a 2-cent per gallon tax on all Awl used in surface transportation except for buses This presumably would include passenger cars Also there would be a -SHAcent per kilowatt hour tax -on energy used in transporta- (km railroads Accordm ling to knowledgeable sources the report will accuse the USRA of vastly underestimating the cost of rehabilitating the bankrupt lines and of using accounting practices -r be every In Symposium A UT Knoxville will be one of five American scholars to participate in an international symposium in the Netherlands on Autonomy of Art" Dr Rolf-Dieter Herrmann' professor of philosophy will present a paper at the conference which will be held at the University of Amsterdam this fall Considered The White House Telecommunications Policy proposal also urged the FCC to ease the distance requirement by 10 per cent or to about 178 miles between stations in the South- -east This would particularly help the Knoxville-Nashville 1 conflict where the FCC estimates the two cities to be 160 miles apart Responses Invited Besides engineering problems the decision on the proposal also involves reversing a 20-year-old FCC policy that generally closed out any new VHF stations and pro-: moled UHF (Channels 14 to-83) instead Many UHF stations how- ever are reportedly strug-1 gling because of additional costs in broadcasting on the higher frequencies and because UHF stations generally broadcast to narrower service areas making their advertising less competitive with VHF stations As a result several UHF station licensees like South Central' in Knoxville have tried to gain the VHF frequencies The FCC has invited responses from the public particularly from engineers on the proposals in general and on the specific stations But FCC officials warned that any decision on adding new stations will be long in coming CLINTON HIGHWAY PACKAGE STORE OPEN FOR BUSINESS I v' for Knox Nv Sain WASHINGTON The Federal Communications 1 Commission (FCC) is consid- 5 ermg adding a Channel I for Knoxville television viewers if the engineering problems can I be worked out Acting on a proposal by the (tWhite House Office of Tele- communications Policy the FCC is considering in" 67 or more new UHF (Channels 2 through 13) in the largest 100 metropolitan areas Knoxville is among the first eight under consideration for a new commercial station The others include Birmingham Ala Baton Rouge La Jacksonville Fla and Charlotte NC Separate from the proposal by the White House Office of Telecommunications Policy is a petition to the FCC by the South Central Broadcasting Corp which operates UHF Channel 26 in Knoxville to create a new Channel 8 com- mercial station The FCC has not acted on the South Central petition Must Block Interference 'The problems in adding the new stations are largely engi- neering ones according to the FCC because two stations it operating on the same fra- quency or channel too close to one another would cause 'I interference in the reception Therefore under present FCC rules two stations in the Southeast must be about 190 miles apart to operate on the same frequency To accommodate all the proposed new stations includ- ing Knoxville these rules Z- would have to be relaxed and new means of preventing interference on the same fre- quency must be found For example there are two broadcast stations one in Nashville and another in a Athens Ga operating on Channel 8 that are within 190 miles of Knoxville -v Mountains Natural Obstacle Knoxville however has an advantage over other cities because the mountainous ter- rain that largely surrounds it could act as a natural obstacle interference among the to If not FCC engineers sug-' gested the interference might L- be avoided by installing the v- broadcast facility for a Chan-nei 8 in Knoxville east or north of the city stretching the mileage Or it might use directional antennae to beam It signals away from the other stations Or the FCC might move the' station slightly off of the normal channel vto reduce interference' i' Famous University proves MIRACLE-GRO produces more Northeast WTVI-TY WSK-TV ABC ns HijevUSfi Mika ITT It COMPUTE SELECTION OF FINE WINES
