LIJOUNT FINDS MUCH INTEREST IN TELEVISION
Leaders in the radio industry are in accord on the question of television being made practical within the next year, according to a statement issued this week by Commissioner Harold A. Lafount. In spite of this opinion, the Commis¬ sioner himself does not personally believe that the public will benefit by the experiments which are now being conducted for a period of several years. Mr. Lafount further stated that there was evidence of a real public interest in television as indicated by the increasing number of apelications which are be¬ ing received at the Commission for experimental frequencies to be used in sight transmission. One important factor that has aided considerably in the develop¬ ment of television experiments is the standardization of transmission, accord¬ ing to the information given out by the Commissioner, The recognized standard picture is now one of 60 lines with 20 pictures per second, eliminating much of the "flicker" and producing a picture to bo compared to newspaper halftone.
FURTHER TELEVISION EXPERIMENTS
During the current week, the Commission took action on two applications which involved further experimentation in television. The Journal Company, Milwaukee, Wis,, station W9XD, was granted a modification of an existing con¬ struction permit to allow the use of additional frequencies in the television band, and an extension of completion date on the station construction to Sept, 18th, The Commission sustained the recommendation of Examiner Walker in his report covering the granting of a 500 watt television construction permit to Don Lee, Inc,, Los Angeles, Calif. The frequencies authorized for use by this grant are 2100 to 2200 kc and 2850 to 2950 kc with unlimited time.
