By W. A. 8.- .
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-^ Earl
Johnson, a. former well known news
paper man fromt Alaska, brother of
Mr* H. L. Faulkner of Juneau, drove
over from Ohio last week to attend
that funeral of a sister, who. died sud
denly a. few, days ago
Manager S...A. Harvey and' .Henry
Pigg, of Juneau, sought a.;construc
tion permit from the Federal Radio
Commission foe a broadcasting sta
tion at Juneau,, but were unsuccessful
and then, sought th einfluence- of Del
egate Wickersham’s office fh the ef
fort to secure, a permit. The difficulty
in securiu gsny additional stations
in Alaska Hen; primarily.^ in the fact
that the Territory is in the ftfth zone*
which is already 18 per cent over its
quota. The. fact that the Alaska
Power & Light Co. is no longer oper
ative in Juneau does net1 tend to. give
any other company a preference, as
the commission has determined that
the already; aver quoth.’ of the zone
must be reduced rather than be main
tained or increased. In the last ses
sion of Coiubtaa& a bill'was introduced
that would JiaUe the,effect of remov
ing Alaskaafnofa its present cone and'
thus allow ihe&establigfiing of many
additional atdttdbs in. the Territory,
when the ‘permit qualifications. are
complied with’.' ‘"HThiirneasure was en
dorsed by the Radio Commission, but
it was not reached.; on the calendar,
but it is expaoted ’ jfchkfcit will pass at:
the December session.' Another rea
son why a permit could not issue to
fhel.contemplated station at..Juneau
was because of wroagr equipment des
ignated in' the application, and of. in*
sufficient ^formation suppHeih
