Stations in Fight
For Radio Channel
WASHINGTON (AP) The first
legal attack on tho validity of the
Davis equalization amendment to
the radio law, involving tho fight
of six stations for the same wave
length, is to be threshed out In the
court of appeals of the District of
Columbia.
Tho challenge of the Davis
amendment, keystone of the real
location in 19.28 of hro.adcusting
stations, is mado by the Westlng
houso company in its appeal from
tho refusal of the federal radio
commission to allow station KV.W,
Chicago, to continue, to operate on
1,020 klloeyeles.
Acting upon tho company's ap
plication for :ronewal of license,
tho comniiHslon'iUpp'rovcd the Ul
cense.ingeprral Imipylated that
tho 1,020 kilocycle chuoncl is pro)
erly assigned .to, tho second radio
zono rather than the fourth zone
In which the station Is located.
iTho conuuission says thnt the
channel was one of eight cleared
wavelengths alloted to the second
zono in the reallocation. The sec
ond zone not needing all of the
eight channels at the time, it was
temporarily "loaned" to. the fourth
zono and assigned to tho Chicago
stulion. The fourth zone in turn
loaned" to the second zone a half-
time assignment on tho 1,100 kilo
cyclo, channel. .
Tho WTestinghouso company con
tends that the amendment Is un
constitutional "in that it is nut
authorized by the commerce clause
of the constitution that no person
bo deprived of life,- liberty or prop
erty without duo process of law or
without Just compensation." it de
clares that the license to use tho
channel was issued without iiuaii-
fieulhm or restrict ion;
In the meantime, lour other sta
tions In tho second zone have ap
plied for-the channel. They im?
WCAU, Philadelphia; WPKN. Phil
adelphia; WWJ. Detroit: WLBW,
Oil City, Pa. A fifth station. WLAP,
Lexington, !., in the .third' zone,
also has asked for the channel:
A professor says that Ihe respect
children used to have for their par
ents GO yea iM ago 1m not in evidence
today. .Mayhit it's because tho old
folks are so wild.
