October 29 , 1932 NEWSPAPER PROTESTS MOVE (continued) It is stated further in the petition of opposition that "on or about November 28, 1931, the Telegraph Herald Company made inquiry of the Commission as to the possibil¬ ity of establishing a radio broadcasting station in Iowa." The Commission pointed out in a communication to the newspaper company that "in view of the large number of radio stations now licensed to operate and the limited number of channels available for broadcasting purposes, it is doubtful whether the Commission would give favorable consideration to an a33plication for the construction of a new station." No further steps were taken by the company toward establishing a new station in Iowa "so far as the Commission was informed or advised." The Commission asks that the stay order be denied. COMMISSION TURNS DOWN NEW STATION The Radio Commission this week refused to grant Edward Tomajko, Sr., a construc¬ tion permit for the erection of a new broadcasting station at Greensburg, Pennsylvania thereby reversing Chief Examiner Ellis A. Yost in his Report No. 408, It was fo\ind by the Commission that "Greensburg and surrounding area now receive fair to good daytime broadcast service from at least three stations located nearby and additional nighttime service from various high powered stations situated else¬ where. " The Commission found further in this case that "satisfactory showing is not made in this record that there is any real need for additional service in the Greens¬ burg area or that the service proposed to be rendered therein by this applicant would be in the main naterially different from that now received from a number of estab¬ lished stations," CHIMPANZEE.-: ANNOUNCER BOXER The Transportation Committee for the St. Louis Convention has arranged for a number of trips to points of interest in and around St. Louis. In his report this week, A. B. Hendry, WIL , reported fully upon the plans of this committee. One paragraph of his report is as follows: "One of the most interesting trips doubtless, which we have arranged, will be to the St. Louis zoo, which is just a few minutes drive from the Hotel Chase. Mr. Vierheller, the Director, at ''.he present time is training a pair of chimpanzees in one of the most unusual raou-o presentations imagineable. The chimpanzees are being trained to go through some cf the supposed gestures cf an announcer at the mike, and one of them, believe it or not, will play the piano before the microphone, while the other does a tap dance. There will also be a three-round boxing exhibit between the chimpanzees with a blow by b-uow broadcast from the ririgside." Lne same chimpanzees that broadcast will be the boxers or is it the other way 'rotind.
