Last May FCC decided that Frequency Modulation was sufficiently advanced to warrant its undertaking commercial operation. Freed from the confines of experiment, staticless FM began to loom formidably on radio's horizon. But while some operators were struggling to transform their experimental stations into high-powered outfits for commercial use, the national-defense program suddenly slowed down delivery of equipment.

Now in the position of a landlord owning an apartment from which the tenant has not yet cleared out, FM will not really start to go to town until Jan. 1. By that time FCC expects to have the space cleared. Included in the megacyclic housecleaning will be 13 maverick Government short-wave services...
