County Holiday
10 Hinge on
leoaI Opinion

IN its first decision dealing
with the right of war veteran
10 return to the job he left, Ma
comb County on Monday decid-
Cd definitely in favor OF the
Gerviceman.
The subject was brought to
Che attention of the Board OF
Supervisors by Dearl Morrison,
technician in charge OF the coun-
tvs police radio setup, station
WRPV.
Morrison reported that Radio
man 1/c Bronson Hill, former
county technician, who has been
ON radar work overseas, is ex-
pected home Dec. is. Morrison
said he felt the veteran was en-
titled to the Job he formerly
had, now filled by another man.
Supervisors agreed without
question that Hill should be re-
anstated, and showed little in
terest in Morrison's plea that the
man who was hired to replace
Hill also be retained by the
county. Morrison said his radio
station is short of help and point
I'D out that the temporary en-
ploye had forfeited a good post
in Dearborn to come here when
urgently needed at the time of
Hills departure.
The board voted to turn the
matter over to the Radio Com
mittee with the recommendation
that the veteran be re-employ-
ed, and that the temporary man
be given q 30-day notice.

Movie Moguls See No Serious Box Office
Threat with Widespread TelevisiOn Use
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON
NEA Staff Writer

HOLLYWOOD - Rumors fly
ing around Hollywood that tele-
vision is ready for release" any
time, now that the war is over,
and that it will knock theatre
movies into a cooked hat" are
pooh-poohed by the experts.
So far as / can CLEAN by rath-
er lengthy inquiries in informed
circles, television isn't ready for
home use yet, and may not be
for many year. The dazzling
-yistas opened by our use of the
satornic bomb caused a sort OF
intoxication about all scientific
discoveries. The boys who have
television in hand aren't among
the celebrants, however.
They aren't saying much, but
they do shake their heads and
mutter, mot yet"
Even more important, in view
of the fact that television might
suddenly leap the last hurdles
and be among us, is the view of
those who have studied its prob
able effects. The consensus is
that it will not hurt the movies
no matter how successful it is,
for a long while.
RADIO HELPS MOVIES
Such conclusions are based on
the expei ience of movies versus
radio, once feud SO bitter that
there was virtually no coopera-
tion between the two entertain
ment media.
1T is now recognized" one
movie producer told me. "that
the radio and motion picture en-
tertainment fields actually feed
each other, give mutual aid and
comfort"
Statistics have proved, he said,
that plugs on radio build up a
given movies box office draw
tremendously, and that the use
of radio stars in movies are an
equal stimulant to the popular
ity - on the air - of the ether
celebrity.
"The movie-going habit of the
American people is an odd thing,
and that's why radio has never
hurt movies. And television,
when it comes, can't hurt them
either" the producer went on.

that television will be a some
what more fascinating lure for
the home, few of the better-in-
formed film folk seemed to fear
it in the least, even if it springs
full-blown into general use to-
morrow.
On the other hand, players are
looking forward eagerly to at
tanning fame in television. Stage
and screen-wise players are get
ting hep to radio by signing on
the network shows. Radio stars
are much easier for the movies
to get these days, and are frank
to say that they want the visual
acting practise "for television." /"
And for the beginner, all over
Hollywood are springing up tele-
vision schools which boast that
they can prepare talented aspir-
ants for a future in the new art
that is 'just around the corner" 7"
From nearly all points in the
film city, and adjacent Beverly
Hills, WestWood, Culver City,
and San Fernando Valley where
movie studios and movie homes
are located, can be seen twink
ling lights high upon the top of
hill. There's brilliantly light
ed, low rectangular building,
and above it a tall mast on
which airplahe warning signals
flash on and off.
That's a television station, ab4
a lot of Hollywoodians take tim
off to look at it occasionally
especially at highland wonder
what effect it and what it rep
resents is going to have on the
future.
