WISV FACES FIgT TORETAN POWER St. Paul and Richmond Ob-, ject—WMBG Wants Vir- ginia Rating Removed. Radio station WJSV at Mount Vernon ! Hills, Va., operated fi Publishing Co., wi offices at 339 Pennsylvania avenue, is literally fighting for its life as the highest powered sta- tion near Washington and possibly for | its place on a cleared regional channel. Attacks on WJSV, more generally known as “the Klan station” sion, and may resuli, officials of the | commission said, in a considerable re- | duction in power, possible change in the frequency and allocation of the station to the District of Columbia, in- stead of Virginia. ‘WJSV now operates on a frequency of 1460 kilocycles on a regional cleared channel, under the commission plan of assigning a number of cleared channels to high - powered stations in each of the five zones into which the country has been divided for broadcasting pur- poses. Gets Only 30-Day License. ‘The commission yesterday announced that instead of being granted the cus- tomary 90-day extension of broadcasting license, WJSV is one of the 24 stations which have been given only 30-day operating licenses or the reason that changes in the frequency, power and hours of operation are being considered for them. The stations classed with WJSV in this group are scattered all over the country. i The commission also announced the | adoption of the following paragraph at its meeting: “Except. in 5o far ‘as specific provision | is made elsewhere for the renewal of licenses for periods of less than three months, the commission found that the public interest, convenience or necessity would be served by the granting of ap- plications heretofore filed -and now pending before the commission for re- newal of broadcasting licenses for the period beginning January 31, 1930, at 3 a.m. Eastern standard time, and directed that renewal licenses be granted in ac- cordance with said findings.” St. Paul Station Complains. The main fight on WJSV comes from two sources. Senators Shipstead, Nye and Frazier appeared before the commission late yesterday with a plea for station KSTP at St. Paul, linn., which operates on the same frequency assigned to WJSV. The plea of the Northwestern Senators ' was supple- mented by a petition from Stanley Hubbard, operator of KSTP, which claimed that interference from WJSV is so strong that the normal service range of TP is materially reduced. Both stations operate with power of 10,000 watts, which makes WJSV the most powerful station in the Southeast- ern_States. Only WJSV and WCAU in Philadelphia have power ratings of 10,000 watts.

CHICAGO, January 25.—A gallery of 4,000,000 citizens, concerned, but un- alarmed, stands watching its financial champions. ‘The second city of America, with all | of its $9,000,000,000 snnual trade, is empty of pocket.

It was conceded that $20,000,000 will not go far toward the liquidation of the unpaid governmental bills. The amount will equal approximately a month’s payroll. The $20,000,000, Strawn plained, has been pledged by Chicago’s large corporations in lieu of payment of | 1928 taxes, for which th2 bills have not yet been distributed. County board and sanitary district have already met the committee on friendly terms, but school board and city council have been less agreeable with the Strawn group. Strawn in- sisted the committee would retain the right to direct economical expenditures. He expressed some concern over the differences between Mayot William Hale Thompson and his city council, which thrice passed an ‘“economy” budget over the mayor's wishes. ‘The committee proposed that its money be used to pay hospital and mothers’ pension funds, and sanitary, Police and Fire Department salaries. The county board has worked out partial solution of its problem by issu- ing tax anticipation warrants in small denominations in lieu of saldries. These will be paid next Wednesday to county Year emrleyu for a month’s back salary, and will bear 6 per cent interest collectible as the first of the 1930 tax moneys flow into the éxchequer some time in 1931. ‘Whe forces awaits the pleasure of council and mayor at a scheduled meeting Feb- 4. ruary 4.
