Pervukhin has been removed, from his post as chief of the So-' viet foreign economic aid program , today and named Soviet am-! bassador to East Germany, Mos cow radio said tonight. j This shift has the effect of di vorcing Pervukhin, who was de moted from full to alternate mem- j bership in the ruling Presidium of the Central Committee of the So viet Communist party in the June shakeup last year, from direct participation in national leaders-ship. Since mid l57 Pervukhin has been chairman of the Slate Com mittee for Economic Relations with Foreign Countries. This or ganization has run aid programs for both non-Communist and Com munist countries. He replaces in the East German ambassadorial assignment G. M.

Feb. 20 The Broadcast Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission has come out against granting KSLM TV more time in which to build a TV station on Salem's Channel 3 in Oregon. If the FCC follows this course, it would throw Salem's channel up for grabs once more. C. H. Fisher of Salem's Radio KBZY and Eugene's KVAL-TV is attempting to get the Salem chan nel. But disposition of the channel would have to be determined in a separate case, probably after long proceedings. The Broadcast Bureau contended that KSLM-TV "has not been dill- gent in proceeding with construc tion of television facilities" for Salem. Rrcrived 1953 Permit KSLM-TV received a construc tion permit in 1953. It has had five extensions of time in which to build the station, each justified by different reasons which ranged Eugene Church Bells to Herald World Prayer Day EUGENE. Feb. 20 u Eugene residents will be reminded of World Day of Prayer services to morrow by the ringing of church bells. The United Church Wpmcn of Eugene have arranged church services at four locations for the day. Each service will begin at :30 p.m. from a proposal to move the trans mitter site closer to Portland, to a request to transfer the license to Storer Broadcasting Co. The next question in the pend ing case is whether FCC Exam iner Charles J. Frederick will side with the bureau or with the Salem station, owned by Glenn E. Mc cormick, who claims he will pro ceed to build if only given another time extension. The examiner's "initial decision" will probably not come out for some weeks, followed by a rinai decision by the commission itself. Commission Approval "It is clear that what the appli cant is now seeking is commission annrnvnl of the ultimate assign ment of control to another person and modification of its construc tion permit Ix'fore it will undertake construction," declared the bu reau. "This is consistent with its pre vious pattern of delaying construc tion on the facilities originally authorized pending commission ap proval of a modification or assign ment thereof."
