Tonight, no matter what any
amateur mathematicians may
have told you a year ago, the
Christian world turns that corner
into the second half on the Goth
Century. A century-whether 1t
be years, dollars, onions or red
headed women-means 100 of
them. Half of a century is SO
and that means. whether they are
years or red-heads, the ones
numbered from l to so and from
81 to 100 in the first century,
from 101 to $50 and from ISL to
200 in the second century and
from 1901 to 1850 and from 1851
to 1000 in the goth century.
There is no point in bringing
this up, except that a man who
has lost a battle-it got pretty
hot year ago, you will remember
likes to point out that he was
overwhelmed by force, not by
logic.
Whether it was the first year of
the second half of the 20th Gen.
tury (Which a lot of people in
sisted on calling it) or the last
year Of the first half Of the goth
Century (Which 1t actually was)
the year 1850 was a notable one
in television.
1t was the year--and it was
most notable for this-in which
the most academic battle in sew
eral centuries was started and
continued. It was, and is, a battle
for which there Is no solution in
the foreseeable future. 1t was
the battle IN which experts" who
don't know an electron from an
electrician parried charges with
the people who invented what the
argument was about.
1t was the year of the Battle
of Color Television.
Color television, 1t may interest
you to know, is not something
new, which 1850 can claim for
Its very own. Once upon a time
a couple Of Frenchmen named
Georges Rignoux and M. Fournier
got to fooling around with tele-
vision and announced that they
hoped to be transmitting in color
any day now. That was in 1910.
With the present emergency
causing its shortage of materials
and nobody-knows-what future
curtailing of radio and television
production, color TV may be as
far from us as it was from Rignoux
and Fournier. It's been a great
fight, though. and it is good to
know that it will continue, at
least for awhile, to give us all a
little release from other tensions
Best Thing to Happen
IWos Contor's Arrival
The year drawing to a close also
was notable in television as the
one during which most of the tor
radio performers discovered it. A
number of them didn't know what
they discovered-thought this was
just a gadget to permit their
admirers to watch them do a radio
show-but a couple of old-time
showmen remembered their show
manship.
One Of these, surprisingly
enough. was Eddie Cantor, who
was entertaining when Rignoux
and Fournier let it be known that
they were about to lick the color
problem. Maybe it shouldn't t
have come as surprise, since
Cantor has managed to adjust
himself to every new form of
show business that has come
along.
A number Of other veterans of
the entertainment world had
turned up in the living room, how
ever, to demonstrate that some
times an old performer can't
learn new tricks. This made Cam
tor doubly welcome and If you
think this comes from an old ad-
mirer of his it is a thought you
should discard. This comes from

Neither Botvinnik nor Bronstein
played. and in their absence Paul
Keres obtained his best success in
years. AS is usual in the Russian
championships. there was a good
proportion of newcomers, two of
whom came right at Keres' heels,
distancing several of the Soviet
grandmasters. One of the latter.

Chess Life, the organ OF the
United States Chess Federation,
has lately published series of
national chess ratings" for some
1905 players, expressed in points
and based on performances in
specified series of "rated tourna-
ments," national and local, from
1921-195O. The classification is
as follows: Grandmaster, 2,700
points up; senior master. 2,500-
1859 points; master. 2,300-2,499;
expert, 2,100-2,099; class A 1900
2,099; class B, 1,700-1899; class
c, 1901 500, and class D below
1900. Washington IS not credited
with any masters, out 48 players
appear in the expert, A and B
classes, in the order of their rat
lngs. Players from the inactive"
sections, who have not partici-
pated in any rated event since
1946, are here starred-Capt. Hol-
croft of the Navcom team will
probably find the report Of his
inactivity exaggerated.

The Chapel Hill weekly., 1950-04-14

The registration of voters for
the May 9th primary will begin
at 9 AM. tomorrow, Saturday,
April Is, and will continue on
every weekday through Satur-
day, May 13.
In counties which are not hav-
ing a new registration, the per-
! iod of registration will begin two
weeks from tomorrow, April 20.
But in Orange advantage has
been taken of a law, enacted by
last years legislature, permitting
any county election board which
so desires to order new regis
tration. And any election board
that issues such an order may al
so order a 29-day instead of a 10
day period of registration.
The laws says that on Satur-
days in the period the registra-
ton shall be conducted from 9
Am. to sunset, but it does not
specify the hours on other days
than Saturdays; so, in Orange
county, the registration on Sat-
urdays will be from 8 Am. to
sunset but on other weekdays it
will be from 9 Am. to 5 PM.
In former years the election
officials have been at the polling
places, for registration, only on
Saturdays, and on other days any
voter who wanted to register
would hunt up the registrar or
maybe the registrar would come
to the persons home. But this
year the election officials are 60
ing to be at the polling places on
all weekdays, not on Saturdays
only.
In Chapel Hill the polling place
for the north precinct is the
Town Hall; for the South pre-
cinct it is the elementary school.

acterS he is also a universal type.
David LevinskY is the eternal
Jew who can never escape his
past. for the harder he tries the
more is he drawn to it. the more
does he feel the deep power of
his youthful emotions. the sweet
er become the memories of his
fearful and wonderful days and
nights of starvation and glory in
the mud-spattered and blood
soaked village of Antomir in
Czarist Russia.
David Levinsky is also the
Americanized Jew who pays the
full price for his success-loneli-
ness, heartache, emotional ado
lescence, perpetual yearning for
the unattainable in women and in
life in general, gradual estrange-
ment from his closest friends. He
searches for solace and comfort in
intimacy with new friends, in
Guiding elderly, smiling shikshes
and he discovers that there is
no solace and comfort in new
friends, for the new friends of old
age never really become anything

Leader Moy Face
Prison on Old Sentence

Washington. (JTA) - William
Dudley Policy, leader of the
Silver Shirts who was paroled this
week after serving about half of
a fifteen-year wartime sedition
sentence, may be imprisoned in
North Carolina where a two
year prison sentence is still hang
ing over him, it was learned to-
day.
Policy was convicted in Ashe-
vile, North Carolina, in 1885 Of
violating state laws governing
securities dealings. The judgment
was affirmed in 1912 by the
North Carolina Supreme Court,
but the state made no effort to
invoke the sentence because Pei
ley was under indictment in In
diana where he was subsequently
sentenced by a Federal District
Court. He served his sentence in
the Terre Haute Penitentiary.
