TIME FOR FILING AGAIN EXTENDED IN KANSAS DOCKET The FCC has granted a petition to extend from June 24 to Sept. 24, time for filing oppositions to petition by Tulsa Broadcasting Company, for reconsideration of Nov. 8, 1962 Report and Order in Docket 13860 which assigned Ch. *8 to Hutchinson, Kansas. The petition was based on the fact that a proposal to establish a permanent ETV authority for Kansas was recently rejected by the Legislature 59-58, and there¬ fore the Com. on Ed. of the State Legislative Council no longer has authority to r continue to function before the FCC in this proceeding. It is expected, however, that an authorized successor committee will be established within the additional 90 days to represent ETV interests in Kansas.
