RECOMMENDS AGAINST NEW STATION The Journal Company, Milwaukee, Wis., filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission asking that it be granted a construction permit for a new regional broadcasting station to be operated on 1010 kilocycles, 1,000 watts power and unlimited time on the air. R. H. Hyde(e), in Report No. 1-46, recommends that the application be denied. The Examiner found that “no sufficient public need for the particular service proposed is shown to sustain an affirmative finding that the granting of a permit therefor would serve the public interest.” SECURITIES ACT REGISTRATION The following companies have filed registration statements with the Securities & Exchange Commission under the Securities Act: Bondholders’ Protective Committee for bonds of Wheeler Timber Company, Chicago, Ill.

At present it operates with 100 watts, unlimited time, on 1370 kilocycles. Melvin H. Dalberg(e), in Report No. 1-45, recommends that the application be denied. He found that the State of Florida is over quota on daytime assignments. RECOMMENDS DENYING TEXAS CHANGES Three applications were made to the Federal Communications Commission, each requesting the use of 940 kilocycles. Melvin H. Dalberg(e), in Report No. 1-44, recommends that all of the applications be denied. Station KMAC, San Antonio, Texas, now operating on 1370 kilocycles, 100 watts power, sharing time with KONO, asked for an experimental license to install a directional antenna and operate on 940 kilocycles; 500 watts unlimited time.
