February 20 report concerning the
new rules, which were adopted by
the unanimous action Of the COM
mission, evidently encouraged the
promotion of television and its
participation by the public. The
March % majority action of the
commission, suspending the original
rules, discourages the sale of re-
ceivers. On the other hand, the
broadcast address of the chairman
of the commission on April is con-
sistent with the original order of the
commission adopted unanimously on
February %, 1910, and again
encourages public participation
through the purchase of receivers" :"
Public Held Best Judge.
Mr.. Craven said the majority con-
cluded that the recent promotional
activities of r. c. A. will effectively
stop research and freeze technical
development in television, and add
ed that in his opinion such a con-
tention was absurd on its face, and
is not justified by either facts or
experience. He said that nothing
| can stop scientific research and
technical progress in a democracy
if incentive is not discouraged by
the government. He asserted that
the commission itself, by order of
suspension, such as in the case in
point. can create such confusion as
to retard the development of tele-
vision and discourage the incentive
and initiative of private enterprise
1t was the opinion of Mr.. Craven,
the only engineer member of the
commission, that the technique of
Evening star., 1940-04-07

television has reached the point
where an initial public trial is en-
tirely justified.
There is no need" he continued,
"for commission in Washington
to substitute its judgment for that
Of the public. The public Is the
wisest judge Of scientific achieve
ment and will be most effective in
securing the technical improve
ments it desires. In this case, the
commission would have been on
more logical grounds had it merely
made public the facts concerning
obsolescence of television receivers
rather than taking action which
prevents the public from exercis-
ing its own judgment"
He pointed out that the present
prices of television receivers auto
matically restrict their use to those
who can afford requirements as
technical progress requires. He
Evening star., 1940-04-07

added that the burden Of expert
ment falls on wealthy people, as 1t
should, to pave the way for ulti-
mate inexpensive television to all.
Mr.. Craven said that the action
OF the majority, coming less than a
month after the encouragement
given by the entire commission to
television receiver sales, Is incon-
sistent and creates confusion, re-
sulting in retardation Of technical
development as well as delays in
creating new industry with added
employment. He said there is no
way in which to secure a public
trial Of television without selling
