UNIVERSAL WIRELESS IS REFINANCED
Universal Wireless Communications, Inc, , has been refinanced and has made a bid for retention of the 40 channels ordered taken away from it by the District Court of Appeals after it had failed to carry out its program of setting up a point-topoint communication service linking 112 cities.
The company proposes to carry out its original plan if permitted to do no by the Federal Radio Commission, Commissioner Harold A. Lafount announced Friday. Its representatives will attend the hearing set for March 16th when the reallocation of the disputed continental channels will be discussed.
On this date the Commission is scheduled to retrieve the frequencies because of the insolvency of the Universal Wire¬ less Company. Whether the refinancing will complicate this plan is conjectural and will probably be debated at the hearing.
Heretofore, RCA Communications, Inc. , and Mackay Radio Telegraph Company were considered the chief contenders for the 40 communication channels though the Commission had intimated that it will retain part of them for allocation to aeronautical and probably maritime services.

WLBW ASKS FOR SYNCHRONIZED STATION
Declaring that synchronization is entirely feasible, the Radio Wire Program Corporation of America, operating Station WLBW, Oil City, Pa. , has petitioned the Federal Radio Commission for permission to construct a new transmitter at Erie, Pa., for synchronization with the present transmitter at Oil City,
Station WLBW now operates with 1,000 watts day and 500 watts at night on 1,260 kilocycles. Under its plan, the two sta¬ tions would operate on the same frequency with the same power simultaneously with an accuracy of frequency adjusted to eliminate heterodyne interference.
Contending that Erie is “under served”, the brief, filed by Fayette B, Dow and Horace L. Lohres, counsel for the Corporation, states that the number of listeners would be greatly increased by the synchronization arrangement.
While both Pennsylvania and the Second Zone are under quota in broadcasting facilities^ it is pointed out, the plan would not add to them because the service a.rea of WLBW would be enlarged merely by a "mechanical change."
