Theoretically there now should be all the meat that an unrationed America may want to buy.
 Ranchers, stockyards, packers have been and still are greatly wor- ried about the superabundance of beef cattle and hogs. Now that most meats require TO ration points, and money with which to buy as rela- lively abundant, the meat industry hopes that the situation may begin to work its way out of a near catastrophe.
 There stil lare major bottlenecks in slaughtering and refrigerating capacities. There should be pretty ample supply of meat available for consumers. But 1t is question how soon and to what extent the dan gerous overpopulation of the range can be corrected.
 Throughout the United states, at the beginning of this year there were 25 per cent more beef cattle than the ten-year 1933-42 average; 62 per cent more hogs; two per cent less sheep. HOGS OVERABUNDANT
 The exces of hogs was so great that last winter buyers had to in stall a permit system, because shipping and slaughtering facilities could not handle the animals as of- fered. AS a result many farmers had to feed their hogs for a period of weeks during which no value was being added to pay for the grain used; and then, in at least some instances, to sell finally on falling market. Therefore, they will not raise so many this year.
 The excess of cattle threatened, until recently, to bring upon ranch CTS a catastrophe which might have ruined many of them. This was be- cause, with the ranges over-popu- lated, a drought threatened. If rains had not intervened, scores of thousands of head might have starved.
 Nor was this surplusage of cattle a temporary matter. It had devel- oped and grown throughout the period of rationing and, as one WAvAA NOAASANAOAAo AAA6AAN expect, 1t was 8 progressive thing. The more cattle ran loose the more calves were bred, so that even dur ing the year 1943 the increase in beef cattle amounted to six per cent. This years calf crop has broken all records.
 Gaston Childress, president of the Houston Parking company, told me:
 There is dangeroos over-supply of cattle. I don't know how they are going to be killed. I do know that they have been held too long, and must be killed some way. We are going to see cattle standing at the stockyards waiting to be killed. while we can not keep up with the situation because of lack of labor and lack of starage space"

The Columbia Broadcastlng Sys- tenn, always 8 pioneer in radio pro. motion gave . luncheon last week to radio editors and members of the press. The place was the Starlight Roof of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The occasion, an announcement by Paul w. Kesten, CBS Executive Vice President concerning his ore ganlzatiOn's important decision on postwar televislon. would have liked to have been present, for like everyone else, I think, who Is 8 radio fan, I am interested in tele- vision. But, of course, I couldn't get down tO New York, and so for knowledge of CESS ideas I have to turn to the elaborate and handsome report sent by MT. Kesten, and to Q story sent by George Crandall, which I think you also will find of interest.
 First of all Columbia advocates earliest possible support of known OppOrtuS.ties for improvement in televislon--at the same time acknow- lodging that such . stand will create problems which Government, manu- facturer, broadcaster and the public must face. But" MT. Kesten says, and this to my mind is the crux of the whole matter, i've must see even more clearly the serious pre- dicament which delay would create"
 CBS declares that the improve ments which wartime discoveries have made possible will almost cer- tainly enable broadcasters to pro- vide the public not only better pie lures, haat larger pictures and entire programs in full color. To facilitate an early ECO decision in favor of tho higher frequencies required for this improved television, the CBS urges immediate concentration of effort by all television laboratories to complete experiments on which "CBS knows that 30 percent, per- haps 90 percent has already been done-and has been tested in the crucible of war"
 Better, Larger Pictures
 When experiments have proved the feasibility of better and larg- CT pictures-including full color the way would be cleared for the immediate production of improved sets. This would avert the danger of sudden worthlessness and huge public loss which might follow continuance of present pre-war standards in postwar sets. The report states that only 1000 homes now possess these pre-war stand ard sets.
 If new television standards are inevitable CCBS believes they are)," says the report, then the quicker they come, the better for the man. ufacturer.

frequencies and wider channels.
 Delay, itself, may prove decisive. If the lag lengthens, if sets are sold for four or five years on pre- war standards-a later change to higher standards might go by de- fault, for fear of jeopardizing too large a public investment. And American homes might be indef- initely deprived of brilliant, de- tailed television pictures.
 Inform Public
 "If on the other hand the interval is shortened to the utmost by a concert of purpose and effort be- tween Government and industry-if pictures on the new and higher. standards can be demonstrated in a year-if receiving sets can roll off the line in another year-then the public should be told and told fully.
 Under such a plan, present broadcastins could continue, broad casting on the low sta n d I'd until the high standards are ready. They could close down the old transmitters when they open up the new. Families which can afford receiving sets which may be useless in year or two could be encOur- aged to buy, with full knowledge of the probable impending change.
 "This is the hard road for pres ent televisi0n broadcasters, but the road of good faith with the public. To brOadcasterS, it may mean mill lions of dollars of interim broadcast ing to provide continued program service to . handful of pre-war sets.
 It also means scrapping several million dollars worth of transmit ter and studio equipment.
 But to manufacturers, such frankness should pay handsome dividends. The higher standards, once achieved, should compress in- to three or four years set-buying which might otherwise lag over five to ten years"

Losses to Be Taken

The report faces frankly the losses to be taken by broadcasters and manufacturers on present equipment if new standards are to be provided to give the public bet ter pictures.
 Tn 1889. television came forth from the laboratory and was cham pioned as full-grown. Commercial transmitters were placed upon the market (CBS purchased and in- installed the first of these at cost of some $5O0,0O0). Commercial re- ceivers were sold to perhaps 1000 homes-at- prices ranging from $l5O to $500. The ball began to roll, even though slowly-until the war stopped all production of civilian sets"
 The report says that mot to re- sume television manufacture just where it left off would impose pen altieS upon these pioneers" But it argues that to sell more sets on the old standards would only com plicate matters later on. Over every auch set the manufacturer sells. ~hangs the threat, not of gradual obsolescence, but of sudden useless ness"

twice as rich in detail, aS we'll as pictures in full and brilliant color Enough, in sum, to make the good. enough pictures of pre-war vintage seem not good enough at all, in terms of poSt-war possibilities.
 "To realize these possibilities, three forces must sec eye to eye and work side by side: the United States Government, the televlsion broad-' casters, and the manufacturers of transmitting and receiving equip- ment. And the public must be told what they are doing. For the road is not clear. 1t leads to a postwar predlcament to which the public Is a party-perhaps the major party. But every brOadcaster and manu- facturer is a party to 1t. too.
 One Year E
 "Thiss much seems sure-a single year of concentrated effort in q dozen engineering laboratories should prove the case for better television pictures, or else disprove 1t. Hundreds of American engineers have done ten tlnse as much, in two taut years of war, as remains to be done in one full year of peace. They have done the impossible. This is not the impossible. This is the mathematically probable.
 we have implicit faith in the technical know-how of these en- gineers once they turn their skills to peace-time television. The real problems lie, we believe, not in the laboratories where engineering is done, but in the offices where policy is made"
