NEW YORY, Nov. 22.-Numerous
publications are showing renewed
interest in television as q possible
means of transmitting their product
into homes of readers, NBC tele-
vision engineers report.
They attributed the development
to recent demonstration by the
General Electric Co.'s station
WRGB before newspapermen in
Schenectady, N. Y. The purpose
was to show the newsmen that see
ing by radio could become an i'm
portant adjunct of the printed page
This particular news telecast
brought to life the pages of a spe-
cial edition of the Albany Times.
Union-by use Of commentators
actors, charts and other devices
augmented by motion pictures. Even
advertisements were telecast during
the co-ordinated program.
Hints of What's Coming.
Many newspapers and magazines
have made Inquiries, the engineers
said, with the thought of studying
the present status of televisior
thoroughly and looking into its fu-
ture possibilities.
While the war has curtailed tele

either BY coaxial cable or radio relay.
Actually, though, the speed Of ex-
pansion will depend on number
Of items, such as cost of receivers,
availability of equipment and the
like, coupled with the public re-
action. In the past this reaction
has been highly favorable, because
pictures by radio are just as intrigu-
ing as was sound radio in its be-
ginnings. Naturally, cost Of receiv-
ers is important to the prospective
locker, but 1t has been said this
factor shouldn't be an obstacle be-
cause of the hope Of bringing the
top down to 5000 or so.
Color for the Future.
Despite the work that has been
done in development of color tele-
vision-research goes back decade
or more-the radio pictures are ex-
pected to continue in black and
white for plenty of time to come.
This is primarily due to the fact
that even after the many years Of
investigation color still depends on
mechanical element to make 1t
function. One-color television once
also was partly mechanical and 1t
was only when 1t became fully elec-
tronic did it make real progress.
Thus, color television might be
regarded as awaiting an all-elec-
trical counterpart of its present mo-
tor and whirring color disk before
it really can step out Of the labora-
tory.
But lack of true -to-life or simu-
lated color is not looked upon as a
drawback The movies didn't wait
for color to gain popularity-there
are few who think television will.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10.
(UP)-The agriculture de-
partment reported today that
farmers are planning in
creases over last year in the
planting of nearly all vital war
crops.
The important 1943 crops got off
to a good start generall", the de-
partment said in the first survey
of the years prospects. Farmers
generally are making strong ef-
fort to increase production, the re-
port said.
MAIN INCREASES ------
The principal increases reported
were in beans, corn and oil seeds
all of which are needed in the war
effort.
The department estimated 1943
corn acreage at 96.827000 acres,
which is below the l00,000000 acres
'equested. However, the planting
intentions are 6.4 per cent over the
1912 crop.
