If they want television they can apply for it, and, following final allocations expected licenses soon, will be granted to applicants found acceptable. On the basis of tentative allocations and provided each state fulfills its license quota under the expansion program, the nation will have this number of TV stations: Alabama, 45; Arizona, 30; Arkansas, 38; California, 80; Colorado, 36; Connecticut, 14; Dele ware, 4; District of Columbia, 6; Florida, 56; Georgia, 53; Idaho, 28; Illinois, 56; Indiana, 45; Iowa, 58; Kansas, 32; Louisiana, 42; 49; Kentucky, Maine, 29; Maryland, 12; Massachusetts, 23; Michigan, 65; Minnesota, 48; Mississippi, 39; Missouri, 53; Montana, 39; Nebraska, 34; Nevada, 22; and New Hampshire, 12.

This expanded service contrasts dramatically with the present regional allocations. cities like In many Albuquerque and Seattle, network programs have been unobtainable one-stati- because relay facilities, either microwave or coaxial cable, do not reach them. But the cables and the radio relay towers are today pushing steadily into new areas. In 1951, a chain of lofty microwave towers which relay video signals with precision was completed t. from Coaxial cables are spreading through the south from Kansas City to Wichita, to Dallas, San Antonio and Houston. Jackson, Miss., a southern terminal, is being tied to New Orleans, a northern branch is headed for and cables are being Montreal; laid from Los Angeles through Arizona, Texas and New Mexico to split-secon- d. coast-to-coas- cover the southwest. This vast expansion of video relay facilities means that scores of new television towns, with either UHF or VHF stations, will be able to tap into the terminals along the route and relay the major network programs through remote rural areas. Main Street's Role It is difficult to forecast accurately today how quickly Main Street, U.S.A., will erect the nearly 2,000 new stations for which licenses might be available and how quickly extensive home coverage will be obtained. There is the question of material shortages in a defense economy, of local financing of new OSH ACROSS L Wing 4.

Recent history indicates that they will go up fast In 1948, when the freeze on station construction was imposed by the FCC for fear of the VHF channels and thus creating interference between stations, scores of small-tow- n business men, industrialists, radio, station owners and newspaper publishers had applications for station licenses on file.

For example, set sales in the present television regions have maintained a fairly uniform pace. In 1951, there were 27.412,700 families residing in TV areas that is, areas where some type of video signal, however faint, could be picked up on home receivers. Of this total, 15,166,000 had purchased television receivers. Since 62.914,200 people reside in these areas, the ratio of TV set sales to Individuals is about one to six.

To the scientist, Ultra-Hig- h Fre- quency (UHF) means a section of the radio spectrum. Another name for the spectrum is radio air waves. The air waves, of course, belong to the people, and it is the Job of a government agency to divide among various private and government services wireless channels In which to transmit information electronically. The services to which the government entrusts the publics air waves include police radio, television (in the Very High Frequencies), FM broadcasts, civil radio, amateur radio, government wireless, maritime wireless, ship stations, coastal statiolns, maritime navigation, general navigation, radar, air navigation, airport control, industrial, scientific and medical wireless devices. Fixed Channels Each of the services has fixed channels in the air waves and cannot Intrude upon its sister services. With television, the number of channels used today is not sufficient to carry video signals to every part of the nation. Since, the inception of commercial TV, telecasts have been beamed over 12 channels in the relatively limited Very High Frequency section of the air waves, but with new stations mushrooming around the country, the Federal Communications Commission decided it had better call a halt before TV signals began bumping into each other. Its decision was prompted by the realization that two television signals transmitted over the same channel within range of one another will collide and thus hash up the home viewing- - screen. The one untapped section of the spectrum which promised plenty of room was UHF. This was the area in which scientists and engineers of the Radio Corporation of America began looking for new television channels. Up until RCA engineers began looking into it, according to O.B. Hanson, Vice President and Chief engineer of the National Broadcasting Company, the UHF was the Antarctic of the air waves. Everybody knew where it was on the map of the radio spectrum, but nobody had much practical knowledge about it. This plunge into the upper frequencies was doubly necessary because television is a great space grabber. A television picture requires much more information to be transmitted electronically than a radio broadcast. As a matter of fact, a TV station requires 600 times as much room in ether as a radio broadcast station; it uses a band width of 6,000,000 cycles (6 megacycles) compared to 10,000 cycles for standard radio broad- cast Equipment Developed Sensational catches of largemoutb and Kentucky bass in the impounded TVA waters In the pat two years are adding fuel to the argument by many anglers that bass do not actually hibernate during the winter. At Kentucky Lake, Dale Hollow, Lake Herrington and en at Wolf Creek Reservoir (since officially named Lake Cumberland by the Kentucky Legislature) catches of bass during even the coldest weather have beqn amazing. What does this prove? It proves, asserts the school that the scrappy species can be taken the year round, wherever water is open, and that the reason this knowledge hasn, been shared by all the angling fraternity is that too many of the members sit around a warm fire vegetating during the winter when they could be out catching bass, if they knew their business. There is no gainsaying the fact that many and big bass are being taken in the winter In the big lakes, and we can add a personal note that it has been done in the n streams, too. For instance, in Creek, near Frankfort, Ky., one plugcaster took five small-mout- h In five casts on a cold, February day. The creek was clear, but about two feet high when he pulled the feat. Well grant that this Is not a performance that can be duplicated day in and day out during the winter months, but we think any reasonable angler will have to his views on the matter of bass fishing being dead in the wintertime, if he is aware of what anglers have been doing in the lakes.

Their names are Casey Stengel, Leo and Chuck Dressen repres- Yankees, Giants and Dodgers. The Yankees, Giants and Dodgers especially the first two took enting over the main battle for last years two pennants. How will it be for 1952? Casey Stengel has to replace Joe DiMag-gihis greatest ballplayer. He has to fill the hole left vacant by Jerry Coleman. He has to work out the best outfield combination from Woodling, Mantle, Bauer, Jensen and one or two others. .Vnd he has to get the able help again he received from Reynolds, Lopat and Raschi, his three star pitchers who ar- - all veterans. Casey isnt much of a worrier or else he is a fine actor. His busy brain is seething now, but he says his problems can wait until he reaches the playing field. Well be all right, he says with a grin. Well either win or make somebody else hustle. The next in turn was Leo Duro-che- r. Leo keeps busy from hour to hour and from day to day. He is always restless. "We have a few problems, Duro-chsays. But not too many. The main two are filling Stankys job at second and taking care of the territory left vacant by Willie Mays. Both are great ballplayers for any team. Stanky was a big factor last year. So was Willie Mays. We have Williams and maybe Hank Thompson for second. Weve got to fill that big gap in center. Then we are set with one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. I mean Maglie, Jansen. Hearn, Lanier and Koslo plus a few others. I call that quite a staff. And you know what a big part of baseball, pitchln" is. o, Dressen has another problem. This is getting his pitchers into a winning mood. Year after year they are rated high up. But few of them ever win 18 games, even with a great ball club. Just a fair pitcher should be a winner in Brooklyn with the fielding and batting support he gets Dressen said nothing about this. But he knows the entire staff hasnt been any too good the past few years. They have a lot of things but little control. Outside of his pitching, Dressen has the best all around club in baseball. If he bad Giant, Yankee or Indian pitching he would have a e. AAA Out of years of expensive research and field tests, equipment was developed which made UHF practical. It was found that UHF station, properly situated and properly operated could furnish home viewers a picture that equalled in clarity and definition the standard VHF picture. It was found that present home television sets could receive UHF telecasts through the addition of a simple tuner and that receivers could be built to receive both UHF and VHF telecasts. It was found that the enlistment of 70 new UHF channels for television would permit an orderly expansion of VHF service without fear of station conflict.
