end a brief revolt III her organ1za-
ton against the selection OF an
Eng lish actress for Scarlett O'Hara
in the movie version Of Gone With
the Wind"
Mrs. Lamar said in an interview
she considered the selection of
Vivien Leigh, auburn haired beauty
from London, to be "An excellent
solution of the problem in which
all the country has been keenly in
terested."
The Ocala, Fla, chapter Of the
U. D. c. recently adopted a reso-
luton protesting ANY other than
native-born Southern woman
playing the part" They urged
boycott of the forthcoming produc-
ton.
II have known many delightful
English people and have often been
told by them that they consider
the intonations and English OF
cultured Southern people more like
that Of the mother country than
found in any other section of the
United States" Mrs Lamar said.
Miss Mitchell, who lives in At
lanta, also has expressed pleasure
over Miss Leigh's selection. Miss
! Mitchell has no connection with the

Five-Day Te|evision
Demonstration Will
Start Here Friday.
Images to Be Sent
To SpecioI Receivers
In Press Club

A five-day demonstration Of tele-
vision, with high-definition images
being broadcast from a mobile trans
mitter at the Agriculture Depart
ment' to special receivers In the
National Press Club, will begin here
Friday, according to announcement
by Frank M. Russell, vice president
Of the National Broadcasting Co.
Mr.. Russell warned that the
demonstrations did not mean .
public program television service is
close at hand for Washington, point
ing out this probably will not be
possible until the problem Of net
working the programs is solved.
N. B. c. will begin its first regular
television service for the New York
metropolitan area in April. Radio
Corp. of America plans to market
its first commercial receivers at that
time. Present indications are that
reception will be limited to an area
within IS miles from the Empire
State tower transmitter.
Newspapermen, members Of gov
ernmental bodies and the diplomatic
corps and other interested groups
have been invited to witness the
television demonstration here.
From the mobile transmitter in
the Agriculture Department images
will be sent over a radio beam"
to the experimental receivers in
the Press Club. more than half
a mile away. Sound will be re-
layed over a separate radio channel.
Mr.. Russell said 1t is unlikely
that persons who may own televi-
sion receivers here will be able to
tune in on the transmissions, since
the test will be broadcast on an
ultra-high frequency Of lit 900 kilo-
cycles. far beyond the tuning range
Of the ordinary receiver.
He said the all-electronic tele-
vision apparatus to be demon
strated, developed by r. c. A., pro-
duces images In Al scanning lines
at the rate Of 80 complete pictures

bright and entirely free from
flicker.
