For Anfi-Red Radio
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Trans-
continental teleyiSion was launched
on a two-way basis yesterday with
a marathon benefit show for a
radio system-that operated by
the Crusade for Freedom to broad
cast behind the Iron Curtain.
The program, running a total of
four and a half hours coast to
coast and 13 hours regionally,
made video history with a num-
ber of "firsts."
1t marked the initial transcon-
tinental transmission in two di-
rections in the same day. How
ever, simultaneous transmission of
two programs in opposite direc-
tions must await the start of reg

Yesterdays show also was the
opening east-to-WeSt telecast, CIV
ing Western viewers their first

Washington.
Show Is Pooled.
For the TV audience in the East,
it provided the initial live"
glimpse of Hollywood. The pre-
vious transcontinental telecasts of
the japanese Peace Treaty Con-
ference earlier this month had
come from San Francisco.
The Columbia Broadcasting
System handled the transmission
on pooled basis over the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co..
new $40 million microWave radio
relay system. Other television
networks picked up portions of
the show.
AS in the previous St-to-west

Objection by Citizen Group.
First witness today was George
Frederick Miller, representative of
the Chillum Heights Citizens AS
Sociation.
He objected to the proposed in
crease in fares partly on grounds
that the last fare increase was
followed by evidence of great
financial prosperity"
If the public must guarantee
the financial prosperity of the
company" " he added, regardless oil
how the company is managed, that
gives it the chance of being care
less or extravagent."
He said the whole plan back of
franchise and monopoly was that
the public should be protected
against excessive rates. He said
that the public is in no way re-
sponslble for keeping the transit
company in business.
Fare Decrease Demanded.
John H. Martini, speaking on
behalf Of Local 209, Pastry, Cooks
and Kitchen Employees, AFL, told
the commission fares should be
decreased rather than increased
II the Government protected
transit monopoly cannot provide
efficient transportation service to

he said.
He expressed the view the tran

the precarious financial situation
which it has tried to paint here
year after year."
Another witness, Mrs. Bransor

She said that passes and tokens
should be sold in drug stores OF
