The Zenith Radio Corporation, in the first named city, is authorized to operate unlimited time on Channel No. 1 (50,00056,000 kilocycles), using special emission for FM (frequency modu¬ lation). The applicant proposes to use the facilities of its pre¬ sent experimental station W9XZV for the purpose.

DEFENSE COMMUNICATIONS BOARD SUGGESTS FREQUENCY CHANGE
On recommendation of the Defense Communications Board, the Federal Communications Commission has withdrawn the frequency 3105 kilocycles from use by scheduled aircraft and substituted the frequency 3117.5 for such use. This action, prompted by conges¬ tion on 3105 kilocycles and communication needs for off route flights of aircraft in connection with defense, necessitates the withdrawal of the frequency 3120 kilocycles from availability for assignment to aircraft. However, the latter is little used at the present time and the private flyer will benefit materially by now having exclusive use of 3105 kilocycles.
Section 9.72 of the Commission’s Aviation Rules and i^pendix B of Part 2 of the General Rules are amended accordingly. The change does not involve modification of existing aircraft licenses.
