Not All Sets Can Pick Up Louis-Walcott Fight
Middletown residents were warned that the Louis Walcott heavyweight title telecast Wednesday night is experimental for region reception.

A B 29 stratospheric link from WNBW Washington will attempt to relay the program at 25 000 to 30 000 feet, following a prior horse show relay experiment.
