Obs Preparing Sets
For Color TeIevision
Tests Here Sept. B

The Columbia Broadcasting CO..
is preparing 80 receivers for dem
onstrations of color television be-
| fore the Federal Communications
Commission, which is opening
hearings on the subject here Sep
tember 26.
The FEC has asked CHS, the
Radio Corp. of America and Color
Television, Inc, to be prepared
to present the most complete tests
and demonstrations of color tele-
vision possible with respect to
their individual systems.
Paul A. Walker. acting FEC
chairman, said today these three
systems have indicated they expect
to demonstrate color television
at the hearings. but that he ex-
poets hundreds of other persons,
representing both radio and tele-
vision to testify. He said it has
not been learned if others expect
to demonstrate color television.
I'm this connection" the FEC
added, "the Commission hopes and
expects the tests and demonstra-
tions presented shall include re-
ception by receivers located under
varying typical conditions"
CHS said it plans to consult
with the Commission before plac-
ing its sets in the Washington
area for demonstration.
Columbia said the demonstra-
tions will include Is receivers
which can receive color signals in
color and in black and white and
regular black and white signals.
The other five sets will receive
color only and will be the only ones
available for the initial tests.
The FEC announced last May it
would consider licensing color tele-
vision operations if way could be
devised to employ the six-mega-
cycle channel width now used for
black and white television, and If
the 100000 or more black and
white sets now in use could be
adapted to receive color telecasts
at moderate cost.

Chambers Says
5 Helped Him
Steal Secrets
Tells of Three More
Sources He Had in
Federal Agencies
By kewbold Noyes, Jr.,
ond Robert K. Welsh
Stor S.cff Cosrespeadsnts

NEW YORK, June 8.-Whit-
taker Chambers testified at the
perjury trial of Alger Hiss today
that three Federal employees other
than Mr.. Hiss and Julian Wad-
leigh gave him Government Sc
Icrets before the war.
He did not name the three but
said they worked in agencies other
than the State Department. where
Mr.. Hiss and Mr.. Wadleigh were
employed at the time.
The name Of Mr.. Wadleigh. for
merly In the Trade Agreements
Section of the State Department,
came up again at the current trial
when Assistant United States At
torney Thomas F. Murphy, in re-
direct examination. asked Mr..
Chambers to describe in detail his
asserted dealings with Mr.. Wad-
leigh.
Says Papers Were Originals.
The former Communist under
ground agent, who is the Govern
ment's key witness in the prosecu-
tion of Mr.. Hiss. said he first met
Mr.. Wadleigh in 1885 in Washing
ton somewhere near the Capitol" "
At that time Mr.. Wadleigh was in
the Agriculture Department but
had been in the State Department
about three years when he last
say him. Mr.. Chambers related.
Mr.. Chambers declared he re-
ceived a few State Department
documents from Mr.. Wadleigh in
1885 but got many from him in
1887. These. he explained. were
original documents and they were
returned to the State Department
by Wadleigh after being photo
graphed.
When Mr.. Chambers testified
that he received only original doc
uments from Mr.. Wadleigh, but
had obtained handwritten copies
and document paraphrases from
Mr.. Hiss, Judge Samuel II. Kauf-
man leaned over his bench and
asked sharply:
did you ever have sources Of
supply in the Government other
than the State Department."
II did," MFR. Chambers answered.
Judge Sums Up.
How many other sources?' the
judge persisted.
Three" the witness said.
$50 you had a total of five
sources OF supply?" the judge
summed up.
THAT is right" Mr.. Chambers
agreed.
Judge Kaufman cautioned the
witness not to name any of the
three. He went on to observe,
however, that Mr.. Chambers pre-
viously admitted that when he
testified before the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
last summer he did not say any
thing about having had five
sources of supply for getting Gov
ernment information for transfer
to Soviet agents.
Under further questioning by
MFR. Murphy, Mr.. Chambers said
that the documentary copies and
microfilm introduced in evidence
at this trial consist only Of ma
terial he obtained from Mr.. Hiss.
He added that the documents and
other material he said he had hid
den for almost 10 years in the
home of a Brooklyn relative. in

Stymied Over 4-Power
Control Over Berlin
by the Asscsiassd Press

PARIS, June ga movement to
cut off the deadlocked negotiations
on Germany and Berlin in the
four-power Foreign Ministers
Council was reported gaining
headway today in Western circles.
The report. from a responsible
Western official. came as Britain
temporarily withdrew her first
team from the conference table in
the Pink Marble Palace.
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
left by plane to attend a Labor
Party conference at Blackpool, but
was scheduled to return to Paris
tomorrow.
The informant said that in view
of the deadlock within the council.
the best course seemed to be the
designation of special commission
ers who could attempt to work out
technical details of a currency
agreement, arrangements for ac-
cess to Berlin from the Western
zones and an accord on East West
trade.
Now in its third week, the cur
rent session of the Foreign Min
isters' Council thus far has pro-
duced only restatement Of widely
divergent Soviet and Western
views on reunification of Germany
and the restoration of a single
municipal administration for Ber-
lin.
Russia has demanded a voice
equal to that of the combined
three Western powers in the con-
troll of Berlin.
