WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, (AP) The communication commission in vaded radio's "no man's land" to day to paint signposts for the routes of experimental transmission In the upper frequencies. Marking off the lanes to be used by television, transoceanic, police and aviation transmission, the com mission noted in Its report of tne assignment that there does not ap pear to be 'an Immediate outlooa for the recognition of television service on a commercial basis." Officials said regular aural commercial, stations over which the United States listens to most of Its broadcasts were not affected by the order, but that a possible new field for commercial broadcasting was opened by the assignments. Aids Ex)rlments Allocation of 75 channels in tne band from 41,020 to 43.080 kilo cycles, officials said, "paved the way" for consideration later of ap plications for commercial as wen as experimental service on those fre quencies. In the past, frequencies above 30,000 Kilocycles have been reserved for experimental . broad casting. The new assignments affeot large ly "safety and life" transmission, such as police and aviation broad casts and experimental work. Today's order marked culmination of the commission's attempt to chart lines in the frequencies above 80.000 kilocycles, where experimen tal work has been carried on with out commission regulation of fre quencies. Effective as of lost October 13 the order was Issued as the result of hearings last June when engin eers told the commission six years of study had led them to believe the time wm ripe for harnessing the upper frequencies. In Hi her Frequencies Previously the commission regulat ed frequencies from 10 to ao.000 kilocycles. Its new order stakes oft the frequencies from 10 to 300.UOU kilocycles. In effect, officials said, the order permits experimental stations to use the higher frequencies which tney have been employing, but limits them to a definite range, instead of television being broadcast on almost any higher frequency desirea by the broadcasting company. - will be limited to the channel from 44.000 to 108,000 kilocycles, . . "Life and service. broadcasts also will come within definite Isnes, un der the new order. The commission assigned 16 chan- nels from 30.830 to 39,830 kilocycles for relay broadcast stations. For police service, the commis ton allocated frequencies between 80.000 and 40.000 kilocycles for aw stations. Twenty-five of these ire qxiencles. the commission said, will be available to municipal and coun ty government and lour to state police agencies. On hhare Dm Itiwlt Tn accordance with an engineering plan to be announced, the com mission said, these police frequen cies will be aligned on a "share use" basis. In view at projected plans of the bureau of air commerce the com mission said It was only necessary to provide "a limited number oi frequencies' for rndio beacons, air port traffic control and navigational and landing devices. DeslRned primarily for use tn in structing student pilots, the com mission said, four frequencies trom 80.000 to 40.000 kilocycles were al located. ror airport traffic control, tne commission allocated to aviation tne frequency bnnd from 139.000 to 130,000 kilocycles. In this frequency band, the com mission made provision for six air port frequency assignment separat ed by about ftOO kilocycles. The commission allocated eleven frequencies in the band from 133-. 000 to 144.000 kilocycles, designed primarily for radio telephone serv ice tor aircraft in flight. lyj.F.ssMMiMaMMaMMaaaMsawsmiiw, mf'M -. h ''"'""ill ftlfc 111 rrT 1 " ' - "i "Winn mmrns OREGON 4-H STYLE QUEEN OTATB 4-H Stria UQuttn for tha year Is LaVsrne Whitehead, IT, of Turner, In Marlon County, who won that title In ths Slats Fair rsvue tn which 6t t-lrli from 33 counties and Portland mod eled eostumai of their own maklnr- Mlnfl Whitehead's outfit, for Inform al party wssr, li of peach colored rayon taffeta en riched by deeper peaob in ths ohir fon velvet bolero and belt.

(AP) Chi nese authorities ssld today that a death battalion of 1,400 Chinese troops and mora than 3,000 Japanese attackers were killed In a battle for possession of Tazang, about flvo miles northwest of Shanghai. They described the engagement, in which Chinese fought to protect sup ply bases, as the heaviest single en counter In the Shanghai area since hostilities began. Colonel Chin Chlng-Wu, comman der of the Chinese force at Tazang, had declared they would fight to the last man. After 30 hours of continu ous battle against Japanese Infantry supported by planes and naval guns, Colonel Chin was killed and his force wiped out. Japs Bomb Civilians Resuming the bombing of civilian areas outside Shanghai, Japanese planes were Bald to have killed and wounded more than 300 Chinese, mostly peasants. Chinese authorities estimated that 100 were killed and Injured in an air raid on Chen J u, where the American-Installed $1,000,000 Chinese government radio station Is located Thirty civilians were reported killed at Hungjao, where Japanese airmen were said to have machine-gunned the populace. At least 60 noncombatonts were said to have been casualties of a Japanese air attack on a passenger trsln In the Changan station, t!0 miles north of Shsnghal. Protets Demanded Chinese and Japanese air raids and anti-aircraft shelling caused Increas ing fears In the International settle ment thst Shanghai may suffer a repetition of the "bloody Saturday" catastrophe of Aug. 14. There waa a growing demand among foreign resi dents for some sort of remedial action. It was teamed that American and other foreign consuls are asking their home governments to protest both China and Japan against warplanes flying over the foreign sreas. United States Consul General Clarence E. Gauss was understood to have emphasized the potential dan ger In his dispatches to Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson at Nanking and ; to the state department at Washing ton. Japanese, falling to break Chinese resistance tn the Chapel sector of Shanghai In 57 days of continuous assaults, resorted to air bombard ment of all Chinese communication lines and supply bases behind the lines. Chinese Strike Airport The Jspanese bom bs rd me nt fol -lowed a Chinese air raid which ended at dawn. Chinese planes made six forays over the International settle and French concession to drop bombs along the Whangpoor river front and Jspanese Langtzepoo and Hongkew sections of the International settle ment. The bombardments were ssld to have forced Japanese to abandon their landing field tn the Yatigtrepoo area and transfer equipment to Woosung, 13 miles downstream. During the Chinese raid and the Japanese counter shelling, a shell fell Into the hitherto comparatively safe French concession, where most America ns in Shanghai live. It struck ' In the Salvation Army rafugae camp, a half Jblock from tha American Community church, and Injured child refuge. Chinese. Bold On . Another shell plunged through tha roof of a foreign house between real donees of Major E. O. Hagtn, assis tant u. 5. naval attache tn China, and Dr. A. M. Dunlap of Savoy, III ft failed to explode. Casualties among Shanghai non- com bats nU since the warfare started were estimated today to total 3,000 dead and 8.000 Injured. American military . experts said they believe that as long aa Soochow creek and countless tributary canals and small rivers are kept opes, Chi nese soldiers probably will be able to hold Chapel. One American officer 1 predicted that only aa additional 100,000 troops would enable Jspanese to force Chinese from, their Chapel dis trict trenches. Chinese have bomb proof dugouts, countless machine gun nests and sandbag barriers scattered about Chapel. They hold several Japanese outpost captured In last week s raids. Japanese naval planes dropped bombs on Chinese concentrations alons Soochow creek, opposite the sector of the international area guarded by United States marines. One squad ron raided the Chinese airdrome out side Nanking without success. Jacksonville JACKSONVILLE. Oct. 18. (Spl.) The Archie Bowman family has moved to Welser, Ida.
