Color television in the home
probably is further in the future
than. some of the enthusiastic talk
about it would indicate. This is
as good a time as any, however
to give it a slight examination
Tests are to be conducted this
month, as already has been an
nounced, by both CHS and RCA.
The CHS tests are being done in
New York, on WCBS-TV, at time
when the station has no regular
programs on the air. The RCA
tests will be made in New York,
Camden, N. j.; Baltimore and
here in Washington via WMAL-
TV) on August II, 18 and 10.
Special receivers will be used
in each case, but viewers in range
of the stations may be able to
pick up a picture, though not in
color. An ordinary receiver in
New York, tuned to WCBS-TV's
channel 2, probably would show
four pictures. if any. If a SET
tuned to WMAL-TV picked uI
any picture during the color test
it probably would be a single
image. How good it would be is
question only the tests will
answer.
tests also may help the
FeLe. al Communications System
decide which of the two color TV
systems is superior CHS is plac-
ing it's faith in the "sequentiar
system. This uses Whirling color
disc in the camera, which breaks
the image up into series of pic
lures in different primary colors
The receiver contains color disc
spinning in exact synchronizatior
with that in the camera and, In
effect, reasSembles the different
images broadcast into one full
color picture.
The electronic color system be-
ing developed by RCA also breaks
the picture down for broadcast
then puts it together again in the
receiver. Basically, what it does
is direct the image picked up by
the cameras lens into three or
s. more horoscopes instead of the
one used in black-and-white. Each
is equipped with a different color
filter and thus sends out a portion
of the picture. The receiving set
must be equipped with q like
number of tubes instead of the
one viewing tube it now has.
Even if either or both of these
systems is deemed ready for pub
lie use, it is plain that color tele-
vision won't start next month
The cost alone will hold it off for
a while. Receivers. with more and
more complicated equipment, nat
urally will be more expensive than
present ones. The broadcast OF
color television is also more costly
by a great deal, since it actually
requires multiple transmitters for
the multiple color images.
The present television audience
Is a factor. too. The latest survey
tJuly - shows 100000 sets in
use in the country and manufac-
turers say they can make and
sell another 100000 TV receivers
by the end of the year. The videe
broadcasters are not going to drop
that audience in sudden switch
to color, even if present sets can
easily be adapted to receive color
broadcasts as q black-and-white
picture.
1t is even possible that color
television may find itself in a sit

Attorney General Clark is a

Issues involved were rent control,
veterans pensions and confirma-
ton of DR.. James Boyd as director
of the Bureau of Mines Of the
Interior Department. which John
L. Lewis fought so bitterly.
Why did champions of effective
rent control try so vigorously to
prevent return of jurisdiction to
local authorities?
The answer came very bluntly
from Senator Humphrey. Demo-
crat. of Minnesota, himself for
merly the mayor of a great Amer
lean city. Minneapolis. After
pointing out that the real estate
lobbies really began to feel their
strength" in 1947 and 1948, he
told the Senate:
II say in all reverence, may God
pity the city councils and may God
pity the mayors of all cities If the
Fulbright amendment for con-
ditional return to local controD
shall be agreed to. Rent control
will become the plaything of local
politics. Effective rent control can
be destroyed by this amendment" "
Mayors Oppose Move.
Mayors from all over the coun-
try meeting here al the time in

by opposing return to local control
What this seems to be is con-
fession that local governments
cannot, or will not, stand up for
the general public interest against
special interests. That, of course
was influential in the transfer OF
authority for some function from
city and State governments to the
Federal Government in recent
years, though in some other cases
Federal rather than local control
was regarded as essential because
of the growing complexity of our
industrial civilization. in short, an

Senate Hearing Likely on China Aid
Despite Efforts of State Department

of security for the United States
and for the Western-occupied
parts of the Pacific. admit now
that the first step in reorganiz-
ing China would cost upwards Of
81 500 900, 900 and would require
an American contingent of at least
$4,000 officers and men and some
1000 civilian administrative spe-
cialiSts.
The Army contingent would be
needed to organize the sprawling
manpower of Southern China. It
would be necessary to teach new
soldiers how to handle our weap-
ons. Such a force is needed not
only for the training of a new
army, but also for bolstering mo-
rale. The presence of such large
group of Americans in uniform
would have bolstering effect on
the very low morale of the Chi
nese outside the Iron Curtain who
have felt for some time that
America let them down.
Problem for Army.
On paper we should be able to
provide such a force, but actually
it would pose a very serious prob
lem for the Army. We simply do
not have a surplus of trained SOL
diers. particularly at this time,
when we plan to arm the members
of the Atlantic Treaty. and must
think seriously. too. about send
ing a sizable combat defensive
force to Alaska.
The bulk of our trained units
are either in Europe or Japan.
The handful of men we have on
American territory is not suff1-
cient to provide even a minimum
defense force for strategic Amer
lean points and at the same time
provide instructors to go with the
equipment we have to send across
the Atlantic.

All See 1t Close.
Lou Boudreau, Cleveland In
dians: It is going to be a close
race. Not as close as last year,
perhaps. but so close that the
team that gets the breaks will
win the pennant. Naturally,
am hoping that the Indians will
be that team.

aware, however, >"h''A"'"e D'o""'
that the situation is not easy in
those parts of China which remain
under the Nationalist government.
There is only a nominal govern
ment in Nanking. In the rest OF
the country south of the Yangtze
River, local administrations pay
no attention to instructions and
orders they receive from Marking.
Chang Kai-shek apparently has
lost all his appeal for the Chinese,
and while his friends still say he
will emerge eventually to save
China, he is busy now busting the
tombs of his ancestors" in his
native town.
There are chaos and confusion
throughout China. In Commu-
nist-dominated areas Moscow's
stooges are following the dictates
of their Slav masters and are in
PRODUCING reforms" which are not
to the taste of the inhabitants.
But dhere Is nothing they can do
about it.
Process Slow.
In Nanking and the rest of Ma
tionalist China there are only
loose local governments. The re-
gions not yet dominated by the
Reds could be reorganized eventu-
ally through our efforts. But the
process would be slow; it would
take at least two years, according
to our best-informed experts, to
re-create an army. Such an un-
dertaking would be costly, not
only in dollars but in manpower
as we'll.

Failure of Local Rule
Mayors Indicate Cities Couldn't Fight
Pressure Against Rent Controls

ing the New Deal regime, and why
they have constantly tried since
to get functions transferred back
to local authorities. The latter
could be approached and handled
more easily. 1t explains also why
special interests have set up
elaborate and expensive headquar-
ters here in recent years to bring
pressure, upon Congress and the
Federal Government directly, as
we'll as building fires back home
locally.
It is a depressing commentary
on the status of local government.
There are problems that local
governments could and should
handle. But if they fail to protect
the public interest, then the people
look naturally to Washington. In
the final analysis the people,
themselves. must accept the blame,
because they elect the officials.
The conditional return to local
control in rents should offer a test,
and perhaps it will wake people
up to their own civic responsible
ties, especially in the field of eco
nomic matters, such as rent con-
troll. where local politicians seem
so susceptible to 'pressures by local
financial and business interests.
Matter for States.
In another issue of the past
week. John L. Lewis complaint
against DR.. Boyd included, among
other things. enforcement of mine
safety regulations. But it was
clearly brought out in Senate de-
bate that the Bureau of Mines di-
rector lacks power in that respect.
That is a matter for State govern
ments and coal operators. How
the States have failed is revealed
now and again in investigations,
most recently in the Centralia
(nlJ mine disaster which dis
closed the political influence of
coal interests.
But the most farcical exhibit in
the last few weeks was that scene
in the House of Representatives
during consideration of the vet
Grams pension bill, when many
members. in a species of political
St. VituS dance. were voting one
way when their names were re-
corded on a roll call and another
when their identity was safely
concealed-all because of what
veterans organizations might dc
to them back home come the next
election.
Whatever the shortcomings OF
local government, it is doubtful il
few, if any, city councils or State
legislatures ever put on such q
political hide-and-seek perform
ance as that. The sour public re-
action probably had it's influence
in the Houses subsequent act OF
absolution in sending the pension
bill back to committee.
Maybe reform could start here
simultaneously with that in local
governments back home.
