These are and will be different types of services. "

NINE APPLICATIONS CLASH WITH RADIO PACT
The Federal Communications Commission announced this week that final action on nine applications pending before the Commission was being withheld because the facilities requested conflict with or involve the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement. This Agreement, which was drawn up at the Havana Conference in December, 1937, allocates frequencies for stand¬ ard broadcast stations on the North American Continent. The Agreement has already been ratified by the Governments of the United States, Canada, and Cuba and awaits only ratification by the Government of Mexico to become effective.
The nine applications on which action is being withheld are as follows:
Evening News Press, Port Angeles, Wash.; KVL, Inc. (KEEN), Seattle, Wash.; Michael J. Mingo, Tacoma, Wash. ; Tacoma Broadcasters, Inc., Tacoma, Wash.; Radio Service Corp. (KSEI), Pocatello, Idaho; St. Lawrence Broadcast Co., Ogdensburg, N.Y. ; Cuyahoga Valley Broadcasting Co. , Cleveland, Ohio; South Bend Tribune (WSBT), South Bend, Ind. ; King-Trendle Broadcasting Corp., Grand Rapids, Mich.
