LOUISVILLE GETS ANOTHER STATION
There was victory for Station WFIW, of Hopkinsville, Ky. , in its application to move this station to Louisville. It was a hard fought case because of the proposition of the American Broadcasting Corporation which proposed to reconstruct Station WLAF a local station located at Louisville, to use the regional facil¬ ities now allocated to Station WFIW, at Hopkinsville, Ky.

Mr. Sarnoff then told of a television exhibition which had been given for his benefit. He was seated at a receiving set in New York some eight or nine miles away from the scene of action, which, however, he could see perfectly by means of the "electric eye". Different figures were shown and the pictures had a bridge for a background. As Mr. Sarnoff watched the actors, he could see the normal traffic of pedestrians and vehicles moving across the bridge.
All of a sudden he noticed two motor cars approaching each other at a dangerous speed, and forgetting, for the moment, that he was about eight miles away, shouted over the shortwave
