Expected Scramble For Video Permits Fails To Develop Washington (U.R) The icramble for permit! which was expected to follow removal of the ban on ne'w television sta tions has not materialized up to now. A check with the Federal Communications o m m 1 ssion shows that only a score of ap plications have been filed since the ban was ended April 14. New Applications Necessary Before the freeze was lifted, more than 500 applications were on file. But they must be replac ed by new ones because the com mission wants more detailed in formation from applicants. So far no applications have been filed for non-commercial educational TV stations, though the commission set aside more than 200 channels for them. Edu cators are working on their ap plications, but there was no in dication when they will start coming In. Some lawyers specializing in FCC cases think as many as 1, 000 commercial applications will be on file when processing starts July 1. Others doubt there will be more than half that many. One lawyer said he ha elsht applications about 75 per cent complete and that the situation in other offices probably is si milar. One application, he said, is in. complete because Civil Aprnnail. tics administration annrnval of the antenna tower has not yet oeen obtained. Another i inrnm. plete because more information is needed on stockholders, while another is being held up because a lease nas not vet been wnrkeri out lor the land where the ap plicant proposes to put his tow er.'

(U.R) One of the biggest cogs in our de fense machine is located here in the laborator- PI ii ies of the Ord nance Corps' testing, teach ing, and train ing center. The public generally does not realize what goes on around the sprawling 74 OHO nrrp. n t ""nB," the Aberdeen proving uround. But here, skilled technicians use all the tools and tricks of science to create combat rnnril tions for pre-battle tests. Arms and ammounition, trucks and tanks meet every challenge they may one day have to meet in Battle. The men ' work 24 hnnr. day, the year around, to make sure America can field the best equipment in the world. Pres ent weapons are compared with every known type of similar material The proving ground has been in operation for 33 years. Many Miles Traveled During that period, thousands or venicies nave traveled nearlv 6,000,000 miles over the multi- type roadways. More than 1 000,000 artillery and small arms weapons have fired more than one billion rounds of ammunit ion on the ranges. And 100.000 000 man-hours have been spent in the shops to perfect new equipment, There is an ordnance school which has provided technical training for 150,000 officers since the first World War. The replacement training center and related emergency training fac ilities have "graduated" 350, 000 soldiers. Machines Developed Two unusual research mach ines for use in the laboratories were developed by scientists as labor of love or off-duty hob bies. One of these it the Intricate electrical numerical Integrator and computer. It calculates fir ing tables faster than the time required to shoot the guns. The other la the highest-speed cam era in the world. Its revolving mirror exposes 10-billion frames per second. Another impressive tool used in research work is the super sonic wind .tunnel. Machines here measure the time of fight for new shells, guided missiles and bombs. Miniatures Tested Cost is cut in this oDeration. The machines test inexpensive miniatures, built to scale. Thus the hazards and costs of using full-scale models of this ammun ition are eliminated. Another 'important division here is the development and proof service. There are exhaus tive tests of all kinds of stand ardized or experimental guns and venicies. Reveille is held twicp a Hav to provide two-shift, around the ciock, soldier personnel to car ry on such experiments. Surplus foreign eauiDment in tested against Its American counterpart. Technicians nres- ently are working the Russian equipment, wearing it out and tearing it down to learn the ad vantages and disadvantages. Americans Arrive For Catholic Session Barcelona, Spain (U.R) More than 600 American nil grims arrived here aboard the American liner Constitution Tuesday for the opening 'of the 35th international Eucharistic Congress of Catholics from 30 nations. The American delegation to the Congress will be headed by rranels Cardinal Spellman, arch bishop of New York, who arriv ed Monday night by plane. The cardinal was aboard the Consti tution, but left the American group in Lisbon to fly back to Boston for the funeral of an aunt. The thunder of 21 cannon for mally will open the congress Tuesday evening when. Pope Pius All personal representa tive, Frederico Cardinal Tedes- chini, papal legate, arrives here.
