question, however, by saying it would
examine systems differing from CHS
if the developers would deliver re-
ceivers to the commission laboratory
and set up a transmitter for demon
stration purposes in Washington be-
fore December S.
The FEC said it didn't want to
freeze color standards now but with
the industry producing half a million
sets a month it can't postpone that
decision indefinitely.
What it proposed was that TV set
manufacturers agree to make sets ca
pable of receiving the CHS color sys-
tenn in black and white as well as the
present black and white system. It
gave the manufacturers until Sep
tember % to reply.
If the industry will do this, FEC
said, it will reopen the whole color
TV case and consider not only the CHS
method but any other capable Of re-
ception on the two types then being
produced.
If manufacturers won't agree, FEC
said it would Immediately issue a
final order adopting the CBS color
standards.
This would mean a green light for
color broadcasting, but a person who
wanted to receive both black and
white and color stations would have
to own two different sets or have his
present set altered.

registration, possibly because of the
draft.
Meanwhile what educators call one
of the gravest faults of the public
school system was discussed by the
American Psychological Association at
its annual meeting at Pennsylvania
State College.
The nation is neglecting its greatest
natural resource, said DR.. Paul Witty,
Northwestern University professor, by
failing to provide special educational
facilities for development of gifted and
talented children.
Surveys show the typical elemen-
tary school provides a "too meagre
and too restricted" curriculum for the
gifted child, he said. He reported evil
dence that neglect of such children in
high schools is even greater than in
the elementary grades. He declared:
"Not only do the gifted require ap-
~propriate educational opportunities,
but they need guidance and encour-
agement in order to enter challenging
and individually suitable occupa-
tons"
AS a group, he said, gifted children
make satisfactory marks in high
school but many of them fail to de-
.velop the ambition or work habits
essential for profitable college or busi-
ness careers.
DR.. Witty said too many talented
youth enter occupations that do not
require exceptional ability. The great
st long range need of the nation, he
aid, is for men and women of SUI
)erior ability as leaders in business,
education, journalism, labor and gov
ernment.

Actually the FEC has no direct au-
thority over manufacturers on re-
ceivers. It does have indirect power,
however, because it sets broadcasting
standards and manufacturers natural
ly turn out equipment capable Of
meeting those standards.
That leaves the TV industry with
two alternatives. Competitors can go
along with FEC, produce the two
way black and white sets, and pre-.
serve their chance to beat out CHS
in the race for color standards. Or
they can refuse to 60 along, continue
to turn out present-type sets. and
hope that CHS color television VIII
fail to gain foothold.

Each of the three competing com-
panies announced last fall that If its

major victory. Frank Stanton, CHS

Set Pact
FOrJapan

A PEACE treaty for Japan is
"A overdue.
For more than two years now.
preliminary plans for a peace
treaty have been waiting-stalled
like many another international
project-by the Russians.
The United States made the first
approach two years ago. proposing
that all II nations which helped di-
rectly in the Pacific war be invited
to a treaty conference. The Soviet
Union insisted that only the big pow
ers be invited-at least for the draft
ing stage.
COmplicating Factors
Many complicating factors have
served to delay that treaty confer
ence. One was the rise of Communist
China and the waning of the Nation
aliSt Chinese government which
helped conquer Japan. Another was
the cold war which widened the gulf
between Russia and western powers.
Still another factor was a dispute
between the US. State and Defense
departments over the question of per-
manent military bases and how to de-
tend an unarmed Japan.
Since last February when Mao Tse-
tung, Chinese Communist leader.
made his mission to Moscow, there
has been the increasing possibility
that Russia and Red China would
seize the initiative by invoking a
peace conference" and put the west
ern powers onsthe spot by inviting
them to take part.
Foreign Ministers
The japanese treaty will be one o
the pressing topics on the agenda ot
the western Big Three foreign minis
ters who meet in New York next
Tuesday.
Preliminaries for a japanese peace
parley were completed last June un-
der direction of John Foster Dulles,
Republican adviser to Acheson. It will
be recalled that Dulles conferred in
Tokyo with Defense Secretary Louis
johnson and Gen. Macarthur a few
days before the North Koreans swept
down over the 38th Parallel.
Last week on the fifth anniversary
OF the japanese surrender, Gen. Mac
Arthur declared that the Allied mili-
tary occupation had achieved its aim.
Even more recently President Tru-
man declared that the future Of For.
mosa is a matter to be worked out in
the peace treaty for Japan. Nippon
dominated the island for years before
her defeat in World War II and it is
the refuge now of Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek's Nationalist gov-
ernment.
Formosa is being neutralized from
the possibility of Chinese Communist
invasion during the Korean fighting
by the us. Seventh Fleet. Soviet
charges of American invasion Of For

the Korean crisis has been considered

To Be or Nos

Color television, just around the
corner for more than four years now,
is embroiled in one more big row.
Possibly it's the last before color TV
sets go into production, although
that's not promise.
Just a year ago the three principal
color competitors, Columbia Broad
casting System, the Radio Corpora
ton of America, and Color Television,
Inc, began demonstrating their diff
ferent methods before the Federal
Communications Commission. Th G
nine-month hearings ended in May.
The FEC took a little over three
months to make up its mind. In a
September report, it declined to set
final standards for color TV transmits
sion but it did turn thumbs down on
two Of the three systems under exam
ination.
CHS Gets the Nod
It said the RCA and Color TeIe-
vision, Inc systems "fall short of FEC
standards"
If a decision has to be made now,
FEC said, the CHS method is the best
yet developed, even though it cannot
be received in black and white on
the seven million TV sets already in
operation, as the other two methods
can.
