HOW NOW, TV?

At their recent convention celebrating the 5Oth
anniversary of the formation of their gorup,
bers of the American Booksellers Association probed
the effects of televison their businesses. They
showed particular concern over what TV doing
to chidren reading habits Two authorities in the field
agreed that teleysion itself not necessarily dam
aging to children but the qualities of its programs
were. This seems to us like saying That bottle of
poison there won't hurt you if you don't drink
any of it."
Television, being the youngest and the least de-
veloped of all the media, still has to make up
its mind to its ultimate aims. Right now it is in
the stage chiefly of being entertainment or trying
to be- has scarcely begun to realize its potenalities
cultural medium; that is as an instrument for
raising the standards of taste rather than for lowering
them. That it should be the object of agitation on
the part of competitors in the media of mass COM

Secret RepOrts

The admiral was promptly sum-
moned to appear before the Sentae
committee in closed-door session at
3 pm. However he did not APP
pear. Later, it developed that he
had been called to the White House.
At pm, however, he arrived be-
fore the senators bringing two sec
ret reports warning of possible at
tacks on Korea.
One was dated August 1949 and
told of continuing activity along
the border. The second was dated
June 90 1850 and told in detail
of increasing border incidents, in
Guiding a concentration of $4,000
to $4,000 Communist troops These
troops, according TO report, were
well equipped, with artillery. tanks,
guns and ammunition of the type
which the japanese army surren-
dered to Russia. There were also
total of 1875 planes, all late Russ
ian models.
When questioned by senators,
Admiral Hillenkoetter admitted he

Trustee Council found 20 minutes of the proceedings

the usual The defeat of the Russian request
for the expulsion of the Chinese Nationalist delegate
from the Council which is of the four basic
organs of the United Nations.
The only possible conclusion to be drawn from
this is that the Soviet Union intends to stick by its
guns the question of Nationalist China 1t is more
than likely, also, that Trygve Lie the General Sec
rotary of the United Nations appraised of this
fact on his recent visit to Moscow Although he has
been very guarded in his statements since his return
he has given the public to understand that complete
Russian cooperation in the United Nations rests

being one of them.
The Russians having placed boycott on the last
two sessions of the Trustee Council and evidently,
having grown tired of the monotony of it, sent their
man back to stage a walkout If nothing else, this
shows that there must be limit to the effective
of the weapon of boycott.

1t will probably be denied, but
Governor Dewey does not. plan to
support Lieut.. Gov. Joe Hanley for

domination. Hanley, now 70, was
investigated by grand jury in

Dewey has been offered a partner

Conflicting Stories
Partially conflicting stories as to
why we were caught off base in
Korea were given the Senate arp
preparations committee this week
Secretaries Achson and johnson
admitted we had been caught nap
ping, but Adm Roscoe Hillen-
koetter, chief of the central intel
ligence agency read two reports
to the senator's, one dated as late
as June 20, showing that his in
tenigence agents had given a gen.
eral warning.
When Acheson and Johnson ap-
peared before the Senate committee
in a secret session, Ferguson of
Michigan asked both point blank
whether they had received any
word of the impending attack Both
said they had not
1T was a complete surprise, :"
Secretary johnson replied, and
limited that central intelligence was
to blame.
Both men told the senators they
knew that the North Korean border
was FESTIVE, but said the actual
invasion had taken them completely
by surprise
why wasn't central intelligence
on the job?" Senator Bridges, New
Hampshire Republican, broke in.
They get dollars from
Congress. What are they doing
with it?" bridges mentioned the
exact amount voted for central in
teligence, but later withdrew the
figure as secret)
Secretary Johnson shrugged his
shoulders. You'll have to ask Ad-
miral Hillenkoetter," he said.

vasion might have come the next
day. 1t was not his job to eval-
uate reports, he said, merely to
make them.

Department some time ago and
Ambassador John Muccio, acting
/ on them, made a special trip to

Nc Russians in Korean Attack
Asked by senators whether the
Russians were participating in the
North Korean attack, Admiral Hill
enkoetter said the Russians had a
large military training center on
he northern side of the border, but
he had no report of single Rus
sian soldier in combat, killed or
captured.
Furthermore he said, Il don't
expect any"
Senator Knowland of California,

then asked if the Russians might

House Committee DenOunces Alaska Reservations
(By Charles D. Watkins)

GAP Special Washington ServiCe)
 WASHINGTON, (P), A House subcommittee was said yesterday to have denounced the interior departments plans for setting up native reservations in Alaska.
 The question came up in closed sessions of the subcommittee on interior department apprOpria- tions at which a witness told the committee that one election had been held and two others are pending.
 The committee was reported to understand that additional reSer- vatiOns were to be sought and was said to have decided that such ac- ton was devoid of merit, retro greSSiVe, unnecessary and inde- fensible from the standpoint of settling native land claims.
 The subcommittee decided it was learned, that none of the funds appropriated for use by the bureau of Indian Affairs in the fiscal year starting July 1 should be used in connection with the pending reservation orders or res ervation orders that may be sign ed later.

Navy Wants To
 Continue Arctic Oil Exploration

WASHINGTON, (P)-The navy has asked an appropriation of S10,595,000 to continue its oil ex- ploration in Arctic Alaska during the fiscal year starting July 1.
 Commodore William c. Green man, director of the office of na- val petroleum and oil Shale re- serves, told a House appropria- tiOns subcommittee that as of De- cember seven test wells had been drilled and another was under way. He said five new tests are to be started this year and next. His testimony was made public today.
 Greenman said the navy's pres ent plans call for completion of the project after the summer of 1852 if no substantial oil discov- cry is made by that time.
 Col. Ottman F. Kotick, deputy director of naval oil reserves, told the committee that drilling in one of the wells has reached Il, 400 feet and there is some evidence, though meager, that it will reach Mississippi limestone formation between 13,000 and 14,OOO feet feet down.
 "We are anxious to get to the top of that limestone to see whe- ther it is permeable, to see if it has any oil in it because it is pc troliferous in the outcrop sec tion," he testified.
 incidentally, that particular well has been developing some very high gas pressure of a req sonably wet gas. Whether that is going to mean anything I do not know. We have not tested it yet"
