Hearing on Color N
Recessed Until Feb. 6
By the Associated Press


The Governments long public
inquiry into the status of color
television took a tWo-and-a-half
month recess today.
The Federal Communications
Commission yesterday wound up
two days of comparative testing
of rival color systems proposed by
the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn and the Radio Corp. of
America, and suspended its ses-
sions on the subject until Feb
ruary 6.
At that time, a further demon
stration will be held, with Color
Television, Inc, of San Francisco,
sponsoring third widely different
color plan. taking part.
During the recess, the commits
sion said, it will expect the vari-
GUS color sponsors to give a rep
resentative cross-section of the
public a chance to see their oper-
ations and report on the results
under typical home conditions.
The three companies were asked
to place receivers or color con-
verters in the hands of a selected
segment Of the public in given
areas and then provide at least
one hour of color telecasting daily
for a month. The test audience
then would be surveyed for re-
action.
Indications were that the test
ing will probably go forward in
New York City. Washington, San
Francisco and possibly Philadel-
phia.
After yesterdays side-by-side
tests here were concluded, both
RCA and CHS claimed to have
demonstrated superior color plans.

are believed likely to delay the
start OF the prison sentences,
pending argument and decision on

The separate motions for reduc-
ton of sentence or for probation
for the Carson brothers were
submitted under a Federal Court
rule giving the trial judge discre-
ton in such action. Attorney

viction and that he is dependent

Quakers Give u. s.,
Russia Plan 10 Control
A-Bomb, Keep Peace
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-The
American Friends Service Com
mittee today gave the United
States and Soviet Russia a work.
ing plan for control of the atom
bomb and preservation of inter-
national peace.
The Quaker organization pro-
posed that the atomic bomb stock
piles of both the United States
and Russia be placed under United
Nations seal and that production
of all fashionable materials be
"halted and verified" pending COM
pletion of control treaties for all
types of ornaments.
The group also recommended
that unified, neutral Germany
be established as a European
"buffer" state and eventually be
admitted to the United Nations
after all American and Russian
occupation forces have been with
drawn.
The proposals were made in a
sweeping study - 1.-The United
States and the Soviet Union
published today by the Yale Uni
versity Press.
The Quaker organization said
the study-prepared by 15-mem-
Der committee-waS presented to
Secretary of State Acheson and
Alexander Panyushkirf, Soviet
Ambassador.
Dangers Noted.
> While in keping with repeatedly
expressed Quaker belief that war
between the United States and
Russia is not inevitable, the study
declared that if the present .'ten-
sions" increase, armed conflict may
result.
The Friends Service Committee
said that in preparing the study
its authors consulted with diplo-
matte and military authorities,
both American and Russian. The
indentities of those consulted,
however, were not disclosed.
The study included eight "basic
considerations:
l. There is a widespread desire
for peace among the great masses
of people throughout the world.
2. Communism is likely to exist
"for considerable period of time"
but it is equally unlikely that
communism will attain predom-
inant influence in areas of the
world where the Western Euro
pean cultural tradition has taken
root.
Similarities Seen.
3. There are important differ
ences between the aims and meth
ods 81 the United States and
Russia but there also are impor-
tant shnilarities.
4. There is the possibility of
"enough accommodation to permit
the differing systems to compete
peacefully"
5. Russia and the United States
each fears domination and di-
rect military attack by the other
and the rest of the world is
afraid Of winding up in the
middle T.. .',. ~e.'r '"<
6. Any arms competition is
likely to be an important contri-
buting factor toward war.
7. An arms race can weaken
democratic nations by restricting
civil liberties and forcing q re-
duction in the living standard,
