OUB m ALLOCi^TION MAPS: You v;ill get from us shortly aft^er April 1, and at no
extra cost, a set of FM Allocation Maps of the United States, prepared especially for us and printed as part of our service. These maps, 60 in number, will cover the channels No. 221 to 289 (92.1-103.9 me) — these being the only commercial channels on which city allocations have thus far been made (Supplement No. 21).
We have not included maps for the non-commercial educational FM band (Channels No. 201 to 220) nor Channels No. 281-300, omitting the former because of the^ very limited use of educational channels as yet, the latter because they embrace Community and Facsimile channels not yet in use. However, v/e will furnish you 10 extra blank maps so that you can indicate assignments on additional channels when the FCC makes them. The value of these maps as an engineering reference should be manifest ; each subscriber gets one full set v/ithout charge, but extra sets will be available at nominal cost.
IlSiTUSH MISSOUmAH HOB POimCIAH: a personable, even-natured, rather diffident
chap; a Mormon and very much a family man, with 4 children ranging in age from 10 months to 19 years ; an indefatigable worker who knows radio and knows his own mind — that's Rosel Herschel Hyde. Called to the White House Thursday, he was told by President Truman of his appointment as a Republican member of the FCC succeeding the late Commissioner Wills.
The choice is a particularly happy one because, like Commissioners Denny and Jett, he comes up from the ranks; Hyde is neither a politician nor a Missourian, yet had the hearty endorsement of the two Democratic Senators from his native Idaho (born April 12, 1900 in Dov/ney, pop. 700). He joined the old Radio Commission as disbursing officer in 1928 while still studying law at George Washington U, rose steadily through the Law Dept, to succeed Denny as general counsel exactly a year ago this month.
It looks like the remaining vacancy will be held open, for a while at least, for the possible return of Paul Porter, though a strong campaign is afoot to get the job for Nathan David, just out of the Navy, former aide to ex-Chairman Fly. And if precedent and the predilection of the commissioners who make the appointment are followed, another ranker may get the general counselship Hyde relinquishes — either Ben Cottone, Vernon L. Wilkinson or Harry M. Plotkin, assistants general counsel, or Jeremiah Courtney, chief of the FCC's Safety & Special Services Division.
FM CONDITIONALS ON THS AIB: Surprising as it may seem, 3 FM conditional grantees
are already on the air under special authorizations from the FCC "to make FM service available to the public as quickly as possible." The 3 operating FM stations (non-CP holders yet) are those of the Supreme Broadcasting Co. and Times-Picayune Publishing Co., both in New Orleans, and V/HP, Harrisburg, Pa.
Supreme Broadcasting (the brothers Cortnda and George A. Mayoral) received its permit Feb. 25, and is transmitting from the Jung Hotel with 25 watts
