Chs Color Broadcasting
To Beqin November 20
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System will
start network color television op-
erations on November 20, Adrian
Murphy, vice president, said yes
terday.
That is the date on which the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion authorized the start of color
broadcasting, using the CHS sys-
tenn. on a commercial basis.
Mr.. Murphy said non-commer-
cial broadcasts in color probably
would be started before that date
in New York City only. The net
work programming will be started
on a small scale, he said, and
gradually extended as the tele-
phone company gets color equip
ment for its monitors used on its
network facilities.
Addressing the Radio Execu-
tives' Club of New York, Mr.
Murphy said CHS hoped to have
20 hours of color programs a week
on the air by mid-December. He
estimated the color schedule would
run like this on weekdays: II am
to pm. and 6 to $50 pm. (EST)
and an additional half hour in late
evening at the conclusion of reg
ular black and white programming
Because the FCC-approved CHS
color system is incompatible-on

zoners Studying Plea
For Row Houses

The District Zoning Commission
will resume a hearing on proposed
amendments to the zoning map at
10 am. Tuesday.
Taken under advisement at
yesterdays session was a move to
rezone property in a triangle at
South Dakota avenue. Taylor and
Eighteenth streets NE, from "a
residential to "B" residential.
A court decision has held that
the Zoning Commissions action
changing the property from first
commercial to "a" residential In
1946 was unwarranted.
Subsequently, a compromise was
agreed to by the Zoning Commits
sion and the owner Of the property
to permit construction of row
houses and one small laundry pick
up station.
Miss Catherine Flynn Of the
Burroughs Citizens Association
protested that citizens intervening
in the case had not been given an
opportunity to participate In
reaching the compromise.
Wilbur S. Finch. a past presi-
dent of the Burroughs group,
expressed fear the proposals
would yield "conglomeration" on
the triangle and would constitute
spot zoning. He urged that, if
"A" residential classification could
not be granted. at least provision
should be made for slightly row
houses or nice-looking apart
ment project there.

Organization Of
Privute Pilots to
Aid Civil Defense

The Commissioners have given
the National Capital Wing of the
Civil Air Patrol the go-ahead on

vised 1t. Col. Donald D. Webster,
acting wing commander, in a let
ter made public today.

these initial steps to Col. Webster:
That the wing undertake to en-

operation of all aircraft owners,
pilots and maintenance and op-
Grafton personnel within the area
who do not have other conflicting
commitments. No volunteer would
be obligated to become a member

That the defense patrol initiate
a series of training programs and
exercises.
The city heads said that one of
these might be an assumed situa-
ton involving an air raid alert,
an enemy attack and the subse-
quent carrying out by the defense
patrol Of post-attack missions as
signed to it.
Examples of these might be fly
ing in medical supplies and per-
sonnel from nearby cities, deliver
ing such supplies to interior areas
where airplanes could land safely,
reconnaissance of areas assumed
to have suffered damage, to make
reports of fire. blocked streets,
