LICENSE APPJilCiiTIONS RECEIVED During the current week the Commission received applications for license following construction permits which had previously heen authorized by the Com¬ mission, from the following stations: WMBO , Auburn, N. Y. ; ESTP, St. Paul, Minn. WHAD, Milwaukee, IVis,; WILM, Wilmington, Del.; ICGCA, Decorah, Iowa; KFJY, Tunwall, Iowa.

G. 0. 97 EFFECTIVE APRIL 30 Unless there is further postponement, General Order 97, requiring all broadcasting stations to operate with 75 per cent modulation, will be enforced at the end of the present license period. It is estimated that there are about 100 stations that have not fully complied with the order. All outstanding construction permits authorizing changes in transmitters to conform with the Comfliission's ruling will be given consideration and stations having such permits will probably be gi'ven a reasonable time in which to complete the necessary changes. Temporary licenses may be issued to stations which are not capable of the minimum modulation specified and the regular applications for renewals will be designated for hearing. It is not thought that any attempt to reduce licensed power will be made until after decision on the proposed hearings.
