CBSShowsFast-Action
Sports Shots in Color
N Demonstration
BY the Associoted Press

Fast action in rainbow hueS
yesterday closed the Columbia
Broadcasting Systems demonstra-
tions of it's color television system
before Government officials.
Two days of tough technical
tests for the CHS plan We're cli-
NAKED by full-color broadcasts of
baseball batting practice and a
football scrimmage session.
Columbia contended the show
ing answered the critics of color
broadcasting who have asserted it
is not as good a vehicle as black
and white reception for fast sports.
CHS presented the broadcasts
to the Federal Communications
Commission and other official OBJ
servers gathered in the ballroom
of the Carlton Hotel, across tow n
from the playing field where the
demonstration originated.
"Adapted" Set Also Used.
Side-by-side with the color sets
was an ordinary television receiver
which had been adapted" by in
terror adjustments to tune in the
color broadcasts in black-and-
white.
DR.. Adrian Murphy, Columbia
executive who ran the show, called
the attention of the audience to
the fact that the baseball used in
the batting practice was clearly
visible on both types of receivers,
at normal viewing distance.
Representatives of Du Mont
Laboratories, who take the, view
that further lengthy development
is required for color video to
match black-a white, requested
that the record show that the
black k-and-White reception was
from a color broadcast, not a
black-and-whit broadcast"
The color dispute between CHS
and Du Mont was briefly renewed
when DR.. Thomas T. Goldsmith,
jr., Du Mont research director,
made a series of requests for TECH
nical tests not included in the pro-
gram.
Queries Called "FacetiOus."
Some of your questions appear
to be facetious." the CHS man
replied. IF they are serious, I
will attempt to answer them. If
they are merely obstructionism,
we will go ahead to the next test.
Dr.. Goldsmith protested that
there was no obstructionism in
my questions.
The action shots CHS presented
were to have included a dog
chasing-cat act, at FCC's sugges-
ton, to determine how sharply
these small animals would show
up in fast motion. The animals,
however, made friends at once
and no chase occurred.
Radio Corp. of America will
demonstrate a competing color
system here Monday.
On the basis of these and other
tests. FEC will decide whether
regular color television operations
should be authorized.

Agent UnderBed Helps Engineer Forecasts
Spot Boiling Suspect; Cruise Ship Channel
Sewer Tapped for Bills For D. {. by Spring

Super -sleuth tactics by Boiling
Air Force Base authorities led to
the arraignment today of 81
year-old naval reservist on
charges of housebreaking and
illegal wearing of a military
uniform.
Invisible detecting powders and
an agent under a bed were partly
responsible for the arrest yester-
day of Joseph F. Snedden in con-
nection with the recent looting of
Boiling officer quarters of 1888.
Snedden, said to have been liv-
ing with his wife and 2-year-old
son in the 1000 block of Connect
icut avenue NV, was placed
under $4,000 bond on his Munich
pal Court appearance before
Judge Thomas D. Quinn. His
lawyer. Harry Peikin, asked that a
hearing be delayed until next
Wednesday.
Police Version of Arrest.
The Boiling Office of Special
investigations, FBI spokesmen
and Metropolitan police gave this
account of the adventure:
Starting about a week ago, res
idents of the visiting officers
quarters began complaining of
cash thefts from their rooms. The
OSI checked fruitlessly until
yesterday when it planted in one
room two $40 bills sprinkled with
an invisible powder which would
show up only under special lamps.
An agent was hidden under the
bed
At about 6 pm. Snedden walked
in the unlocked door, removed
the bills and walked right out
again. The agent followed.
Seeing he was being trailed,
Snedden ducked into a lavatory
and flushed the two bills down a
toilet. He was promptly nabbed
by the agent, who quickly sum-
moned nearby aides, who in turn
saw to it that the three sewer
lines in the immediate area were
blocked with wire screen. Te
bills were recovered. The powder
was later revealed on Snedden's S
Had Been Regular Visitor.
The FBI reported that Snedden
had been driving into the post
regularly since September 20 in a
1949 auto he is buying. On each
occasion he was garbed in khaki
and wearing Navy insignia, al
though he is on inactive Reserve
status.
Mr.. Peikin said Snedden came
to Washington from Philadelphia
two months ago. The lawyer
added that Snedden has a num-
ber of combat decorations as
naval aviator during the war and
that he is graduate of the eco
nomics school of the University
of Pennsylvania.
The FBI reported that Snedden
apparently has been unemployed
recently. He has signed a con-
fession to the charges and turned
over $400 in $100 and $50 denom-
nations, the FBI added.
