CAMBRIDGE, MASS. April 10
Discovery in South America of fossils
ard skeletons of hitherto unknown
animals which perished in quicksand
and swamps ITS, 100000 years ago was
announced yesterday by the Harvard
Museum of Comparative Zoology.
Llewellyn l. Price and Theodore E.
White, Harvard paleontologists, found
the rich fossil beds. They said the
discoveries shed new light on the origin
of primitive reptile ancestors of the
great dinosaurs and of the warm
blooded manuals that now rule the
world, including mankind.
Remains of many ancient animals,
at least IS of which are entirely new
to science, have been taken from the
deposits in the red clay foothills of
the Brazilian plateau, near st. Cruz,
by an expedition led by Price and
White. The Harvard announcement
said the bed appeared to be the most
significant record Of animal life in
the triassic age ever found in America.

FEDERAL THEATER
 PROJECT MOVED
Will Be Centered in Hart-
 ford, Administrator Sul- livan Announces

Tronsfer of the state base of the WPA Federal Theater Project in Connecticut from Bridgeport to Hartford, effective September IS, was announced today by State Works Progress Administrator Vim cent J. Sullivan. MT Sullivan stated that the transfer of all activities of this statewide project to 8 more central location within the state would result in a reduction of more than 50 per cent in rental, travel and similar expenses and would in- crease the projects efficiency in that 1t can more easily extend its facili- ties to communities within the boun- diaries of Connecticut.
 At the present time administra- tive offices of the project are in New Haven, while a workshop, dramatic production company and several other units are located in Bridge port. A negro dramatic unit is To- cated in Hartford. While future plans for various project units are not yet complete, State Director Ger trude Don Dero revealed plans to- day for a production schedule at Avery/Memoria in Hartford, to take effect in the early fall. AS this unit opens, further productions at the Park theater in Bridgeport will be discontinued with the completion of two-week run of Help Yourself" on September Il, the opening of this play being scheduled now for Au- gust 30.
 When this transfer takes effect, the entire personnel of the project will be housed in one building in Hartford where rehearsals for pro- auctions which will be presented in other communities, as well as local presentations, will be held, In view of the fact that this is a state- wide project, all present members of the personnel will be offered the op- portunity to continue under the new set-up.

grams in limited areas would pay their way.
 Programs Must Change
 Program problems also must be solved. Television is the cruelest of all dictators to the subjects before the apparatus. With sightless radio a singer, @ speaker, or an actor in a play can read his lines, mop his brow, receive instructions by ges- ture from directors close at hand. Tn television, the die is cast. Once in front of the blazing lights and the mike, the performer is on his owll- and there can be no retakesl The consequence is that rehearsal costs in television are enormous.
 Behind that problem is Nhe question: What kind of programs will interest an audience 365 days yearp It can't be purely drama, because drama itself can function better in its natural element. IL can't be purely movies, because movies also have their own per- fected sphere. A community does not produce a daily pageant or other public function which is in teresting and available.
 No doubt it will be a combina- ton of these things, plus such matters as fashion display which R. c. A. has already pro- duced with much success and other entertainment features, all geared to television with the same skill which modern man has used

 Britain Has Advantage
 But, you ask, isn't the British Broadcasting Corporation faced with the same problems? How is it that it can broadcast regu- larly, but Americans cannot?
 First, the B. B. c. is not con- cerned with making a profit. It operates on funds provided by listeners license fees and is gov- ernment subsidized. Tn America 1t must be self-supporting. Fur thermore B. B. 0. has an audi ence of only 2000 receivers, most al."
 Second, the transmission prob. lem is less complicated than in the United States. The one trans hitter at Alexandra Palace serves nearly one-third of the popula- ton in the. British Isles. A single transmitter at New York, for in- stance. would serve only an eight or. less of the United States population. { If conditions here wers 60 sim- pic and there were enough fans who would plank down $500 for

 New York, Aug. l7-American lelevision, If it is to fulfill it's prom ise, must first kick over pretty big set of obstacles-the cost of pro- grams, the cost of receivers, the broadcasting limitations of short waves and man-made static.
 If television could be commer- cialized as readily -as was sound broadcasting in its crudest stages. the other obstacles would resolve themselves in short order.
 < Immediate commercialization is Impractical because of the diff ,culty of insuring advertisers an audience. This is due to the cost of receivers Gin England they sell for $500 and would cost approxi- mately the same here in the be- ginning), and because the short waves that have to be rscd for transmission can be received only within a 20-mile radius. TeleW- sion networks are impractical be- cause present landline facilities, which do a magnificent job of linking sound transmitters. just won't do to carry pictures from city to city.
 There are two possible methods
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-17

in gearing similar affairs to radio. Adult education should have itS place, 'Skills" and technics could be taught. There's a wealth of material for the television field to pioneer.
 The Status of Static
 Another obstacle: static. At present horrible blizzards sud- denly gust across the television silver screen. The picture is dotted with a fiercely whirling effect that looks like snow. Rea- son: An automobile idling at the curb within 100 feet. Best cure so far conceived: The "damping' of all spark plugs. Best place to do this: At the automobile fac- tories. Not only the plugs but all other electrical apparatus on nlo- tor-cars nut be bridged, too. +ts large order, but not impossible to fill.
 Worse than the static produced by cars is man-made static. Fe- ver-machines and other devices in doctors offices makes every pa- tient temporarily a radio antenna, and he knocks television pictures with range galleywest.
 A minor obstacle is the torture of actors before the eyc-mike. The heat is ferocious. The glare attacks the eyes with violence. These obstacles are being gradu- ally overcome. So is the matter of make up, the black painted lips the hideously calsomined face. The pretty girls who have blossomed forth as television s answer to broadcast announcing are less offensive to the naked

of overcoming the transmission barrier. One is by installation of special cables called balanced cables" like the preesnt "voaxial cable" which links Philadelphia and New York for other purpos- es. Such cables might carry tele- vision between great communi- ties. But the cost would be ol- most prohibitive.
 The other possible method is a booster" system, by which pro- grams might be relayed a hun dred miles on beam, rather than Q broadcast, channel, by interue- diate stations. Pictures SO trans mitted would lose a great deal of sharpness.
 Either system is so expensive that much of the delay in tele- vision today is due to the ques- ton whether commercial pro-
