By Harry Macarthur
Hollywood, never classified as a
place where fattery will get you
nowhere, is being wooed by tele-
vision. The teleyision producers
apparently are unconvinced that
the FEC has the power or the
right to order the movie producers
to release their films to TV, as

the standards Of the entertain
ment business.
Hollywood may Sneer at the
newest entertainment medium. but
that doesn't hurt televiSion'S feel

audiences Of television and other
new forms of entertainment.
