Cummins of Wil- lhmsport. Pa., as trustee for Community Radio, a corporation to be formed, laid his pian before the commission in the | ough. It provides for 25 of the 96 wave lengths all in one block as the | first requisite, which would entail a| sweeping revision of the broadcast | structure. Then, he said, the channel | seperation would be reduced from 10 to | 2 kilocycles, increasing the number of ehannels from 25 to 125 and making | available community station service wv every city and town in the country.

As evidence of the good faith of the enterprise Cummins said it will offer the commission a cash deposit of $250,~ 000 when it lgphes for experimental authorization. To show the skeptical engineers, he declared, he will apply within the next few weeks for authority to conduct experiments on a two-kilo- cycle separation, with 5 or 10 local sta~ tions in ‘Pennsylvania. Once the com- . mission approves the project the $6,500 000 will be available, he said, although e declined to name the backers. As the first step Cummins ap) before the commission Monday to op- pose the granting of increases in power to any existing local or regional sta- tions. His opposition was expressed at the hearing of Station WEDH of Erie, | Pa., which sought a shift in frequency and an increase in power from 30 to 500 watts. Cummins himself formerly operated Station WMK at Erie, but bad it removed to Will hmsport after a controversy with Louis Benjamin, pub- lisher of - the Erie Dllplwh-Henld assigned on & scien- udter any community or less now without facilities Radio then would apply Jocal itation licenses in the East and Middle West on the same basis.
