Increasing Audience
For Black and White
TeIevision Predicted

An increasing audience for
black and white television. despite
color broadcast authorization, was
predicted yesterday by President
Robert c. Sprague of the Radio
Television Manufacturers Associa-
tion.
Mr.. Sprague, president Of the
Sprague Electric Co., North Adams.
Mass, issued a statement through
association headquarters. 1917 F
street NV.
He pointed out present televi-
sion programs sponsored and paid
for by an increasing number Of
national advertisers are finan-
cially possible because of the large
and increasing black and white
television audience.
Sees Slow Growth.
"It is for this reason mainly
that most informed persons in
the industry believe that color, as
presently selected by the Federal
Communications Commission, will
have a very slow growth indeed"
Mr.. Sprague declared.
Last week the FEC officially
adopted the Columbia Broadcast
ing Systems color television pro-
gram for commercial broadcasting,
beginning November 20. The COM
mission rejected the Radio Corp.
Of America and the Color Tele-
vision, Inc. color systems.
Robert w. Calvin, executive
vice president of Motorola, Inc,
Of Chicago, a large television re-.
ceiver manufacturer, contended:
THE CHS color system is so i'm
practical that it will die as soon
as the public gets all the facts.
Hence, television owners can be
assured their present sets far
from being outmoded by this type
Of color will serve them in
definitely"
Mr.. Calvin maintained COM
mercial sponsors of existing black
and white television programs
will be unwilling to risk their
money to back experimental color
shows for, which there is no audi
ence."
Urges FEC Review.
He urged that the FEC review
the advances which have been
made in the development of color
television since the time it closed
its hearing on that subject last
May"
While there have been some
mumblings in television circles
about the pressure of politics"
on the FEC in the color case,
Chairman Wayne Coy last night
denied this was so. He pointed
out that several weeks ago, letters
were placed In the Congressional
Record from Chairman johnson
of the Senate Commerce Commit
tee. Brig. Gen. David Sarnoff,
president of the Radio Corp. of
America, and Frank Stanton,
president Of the Columbia Broad
casting System.
Each of these letters urged the
same thing, Chairman Coy re-
called-they asked the commits
sion to make an immediate de-
ciSion on color television.
Some observers believe that due
to the demands of national de-
tense, color television may become
academic. Practically all COM
ponents used in television manu-
facture are also used in radar,
guided missiles and other eIec-
tronic armament. they pointed
out.

With many of these components
in very short supply, 1t was felt
that few, If any, Of the larger

will continue to make the standard

ods of restraining the picture takers. One
college football group, the Pacific Coast Con-
ference, tries to enforce a five-feet-back-of-
sidelines rule. When that doesn't work,
players and managers sometimes act as
volunteer censors. Last fall, when Coach Red
Sanders of u c. L. A. took the field to argue
with Referee Jimmy Cain, an enterprising
pressman moved up to record the incident.
Next thing I knew" he said, Il was
smacked on the side of the head by some
body from the bench and warned not to get
funny. What ever happened to freedom of
the press?'

Photographer Hy Peskin was shooting pic

Walker Peskin crouched in the defensive
backfield to catch Walker bursting through
the line The Mustangs ran an off-tackle play
with Walker carrying and Kyle Rote leading
the interference. Rote charged through
ahead of the ball carrier, and they ran
the play right over Peskin and his cam
era. Hy still carries a scar on his leg.
Sit-down strikes by resentful athletes are
not uncommon. Pro-tennis star Pancho Con
zales once refused to start his match with
Jack Kramer until the court sidelines were
cleared of photographers.

afternoon just in time to have Bobby Thom-

Associated Press, set up an action photo he
didn't intend to in l948 when he tangled
briefly with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

photo of him doing battle with the players
and it was considered one of the best news

SNOW THREATS TO BOATS, HARB0RMA5TER WARNS

With two 28-foot trollers already the victims of ice and heavy snow at the Juneau small boat harbor, the acting harbormaster today warned owners of vessels moored there to look after their boats.
 The Gae, owned by Erland Pear son sank last week. The Dawn, moored next to it, also went to the bottom the same day. Heavy snow on the vessels was blamed for the sinkings, according to Arnold Hend- rickson, acting harbormaster.
 He said that boat owners should check their mooring lines and see that snow is shovelled off their vessels.
 He expressed concern for the small pleasure craft moored on the east side of the main float Many of them are covered with snow and in immediate danger of being damaged, he said.

DELADENE ORR,
 TRICK ORGANISE,
 AT BUBBLE ROOM

Deladene Orr, who will open a four month engagement at the Earanof Hotel Bubble Room tonight at o'clock, likes people and says she is happy to have them get into the act"
 By this, M ss Orr, who is billed as "ORRganist extraORRdinary,' y means that she works close to her audience,' that she delights in rlaying request numbers, and that she encourages amateur talent.
 Besides Miss Orr and her listen- CTS, there is another partner in such audience participation = the versatile Hammond electric organ which will do just about anything except stand on its head, when the CRRganist gets to work on it.
 The musician n-entertainer fea- lures novelty numcers and trick arrangements. (These sne calls CRR-ginals.) Besides the standard electric organ equipment, her in strument has wood block and a set of Deagen bells.
 She uses tomtoms for bolero rhythms, castanetS for Spanish numhers and likes pil . and organ tone qualities togett T
 The trick organ icskes it's pre- senoe known visually. too, as there are lights under the ksyhoards and redals-a light-up known as a Hollywood keyboard. The trek organist likes to play such novelties az her circus medley in which she initiates the oalliope and other carnival sounds.
 Del as she il called by fans in several Southern Californ a night spots, plays all types of music, from hoogie to classic, or vice versa.
 She had sound musical training at the University of Wisconsin in her home city of Madison, and first played as an entertainer in that city and at the St. Paul Hotel, St. Paul, Minn.
 She came here yesterday directly from an engagement at the House Of Murphy in Los Angeles and the ChiChi at Long Beach, and played before that at The White House, Laguna Beach. Previous bookings were in the East and Middle West.
 Asked if she, like her immediate predecessors at the Bubble Room, likes skiing, fishing and other ac- tive sports, Miss Orr replied, T really don't know-Ive teen so busy, and 1 haven't been where it was convenient to go in for them. but I'm all for trying. But there's no question about this scenery. It's Wonderfull"
 This $ Miss Orr's first trip to Alaska, and the first one for her Hammond organ, which arrived on the Denali. The organist came in yesterday via PAA.

Wf1A 1OO DO lO WIN
 Here's how you take part in this big opportunity! Every issue this newspaper will publish Alaskagrams in consecutive order, six each week for 12 weeks-a total of 72 Alaska grams.
 Each Alaskagram is group of scrambled letters which form mean inglesS words or nOnsenSical phrase. After an Alasakgram is unscrambled the letters form the name of a place in Alaska; how ever, there is one superfluous letter an extra, additional letter which is not needed to form the word.
 All you do is re-arrange the let ters to form a single word which is the name of a place in Alaska, and you also show which is the extra letter. For example, the phrase FOR A CHANGE" when it is un- scrambled equals ANCHORAGE plus the extra letter F.
 Just remember that all place names consist of only one word and remember to show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram
