ULTRA-HIGH CHARNEL TELEVISION AUTHORIZED
In granting the application of the Journal Company, of Milwaukee, Wis. , for an experimental television station, the Federal Radio Commission has authorized the use of the first ultrahigh frequencies for visual broadcasting. The license is for the 43,000-44,000 channels together with 500 watts power.
Up to this time stations have been experimenting with channels only 100 kilocycles wide, and up to 23,000 kilocycles. Granting of the application was recommended by Examiner Elmer -7. Pratt.
J. V. L. Hogan, consulting radio engineer, explained at the hearing that bands of modulation considerably wider than the present 100 kilocycles will probably be needed for satisfactory picture delineation and that these channels are available only in the ultra high frequencies.

PRATT URGES DENIAL OF 173 VD RENEWAL
The denial of the application of the Debs Memorial Radio Fund, Inc. , of New York, for a renewal of the license of WEVD, is recommended by Examiner Elmer 17. Pratt in a report to the Radio Commission last Friday.
In his conclusions, Mr. Pratt said that the facts in the case showed that the station had been guilty of repeated violations of the Radio Act and of General Orders No. 7, 8, and 78. The number of violations indicated, he added, that the applicant "is operating without regard to the law or the regulations of the Commission."
