Comics Hope for End
Of Hour-Lonq Proqroms

Some television improvement in
another quarter is the concern
right now of another set of people
the televiSion comics. Their con-
cern, which the brOadcasters
might well share, is with the
lquality Of programs, which they
are willing to admit can stand
some Improvement.
The hour-long variety shows
seem to be doomed If the come
dianS who are featured in them
have their way. Their abundance
this season has made it clear, of
course, that some examples of
this type of program might well
be ploWed under.
The more of them there are,
the more each tends to look like
all the others and this season has
seen plenty of them. Fun is fun,
but you don't want to die laugh
ing.
The main trouble with the
hour-long show from the comics
standpoint is that the audience
either gets too much of him in
one dose or is forced to sit through
Ia lot of song-dance-spectacle
filler which serves only to inter-
rupt the comedians performance.
There is general agreement on
this score, according to Variety,
the trade journal which knows
Jimmy Durante's or Eddie Can
ter'S mind almost before either
knows it himself. Cantor says
the one-hour show puts too great
a strain on its star, uses up ma
terial too fast and violates the
sage and still valid advice of
George M. Cohan to '1eave them
wanting more
Durante and Danny Thomas are
reported already to have served
notice on NBC that thereIl be
no hour-long TV shows for them
next season. Their proposal to
the network is a half-hour pro-
gram on which each would appear
on alternate weeks, This would
solve another of the drawbacks
Thomas sees in the one hour pro-
grams the loss of identification"
which comes Of appearing only
once every four weeks.
Bob Hope Is another who pre-
Ifers the Commute show, though
he can hardly be considered an

TV Broodcosters Get q Code
To Guide Their Program Morals
By Horry Macarthur

The television broadcasters are
feeling rather proud of them
selves right now. They seem to
have managed something that
radio in all its years never
achieved with any degree Of sue
cess. They have set up a code
to guide broadcasting practices
and from all indications they are
going to adopt 1t and pay atten-
tion to it.
The code. proposed by the
National Association of Radio and
Television Broadcasters. was pre-
sented at a meeting in Chicago
and approved by most Of the net
work and major station represen-
tatives. The next move apparently
will be ratification by the NARTB
Board of Directors.
After this, television stations
living by the code will be allowed
to display proudly a Stamp Of
Approval" somewhat akin to the
seal of approval worn by motion
pictures adhering to the film in
dustry's code. 1t is felt in the
TV trade that the code and adher-
ence to it will put a stop to any
threats Of outside interference.
such as that Of Senator William
H. Benton's proposed bill to set
up a citizens advisory board.
The code actually is fairly in
nocuous, judging from the sum-
mary of it examined. You might
even be surprised that it would be
required at all, except that you
can remember moments when
some one on the air displayed less
than the best of taste.
A large part of the new TV code
is adopted from the list of guiding
rules with which the movies fore
stalled outside interference. It
says. in effect: Watch your langu-
age. keep your clothes on. obey
the law and don't be offensive. A
broadcaster shouldn't need a rule
book at his elbow to tell him
these things.
Still, If he does not need it, it's
"a good thing for him to have it.
The new code does have, in ad-
dition, some reference to the
amount of time devoted to adj
vertising, which would be greeted
with more cheers if the radio
broadcasters had ever been able
to make anything like that stick.
There's a growing tendency in
television to blend together
comedy skits and commercials.
There ought to be some interest
ing arguments in the trade over
how time in one of these cases
should be charged to advertising
Is the whole skit a commercial, or
just the tag line the whole skit
works up to?

They'll Still Be Selling
Old Movies TO Teleyision

AS you may have noticed. Roy
Rogers won the first battle in his
legal fight to prevent Republic
Pictures from selling his old films
to TV-a decision in his favor in
a Los Angeles Federal court. The
case, however, seems unlikely to
be the test many thought it would
be of the right Of a film studio to
sell old pictures to television with
out reimbursing the actors in
them.
The Screen Actors Guild is now
seeking additional pay for the
actors in any films made after
August l. 1948, which are re-
leased to TV, but TV rights have
been included in old player con-
tracts. The Rogers court victory
(Which is to be appealed by Re-
public seems to have been based
on special clauses in his contract
under which he retained rights to
the commercial use of his name.
In view of this, the sale of old
Hollywood movies to the TV broad
casters is expected to continue.
Other results of the Rogers VIC
tory are two. It means, for one
thing, that he now can go ahead
with his planned series of tele.
vision films for. NBC. It is ex-
pected to mean. for another thing.
that Gene Autry will be the next
to sue to keep his old photoplays
off of television.

Cuts lax RATE 10 SLOT Building Contract
For S282, ,85o Budget, IFor Lincoln School

A 3-cent reduction in the Ia
koma Park tax rate to SLOT was
approved by the City Council last
night after a verbal set-to with j.
Bond Smith, Montgomery County
attorney and Democratic political
leader.
Three speakers favored reten-
ton of the present $1.10 rate. A
budget, totalling S282,85 was ap-
proved after number of changes
were made. Among them was the
elimination of group life insurance
for city employees, but the pay of
police and f1remen was raised $10O
above the increase already set up
in the tentative budget.
The tax rate was based on a
realty valuation of $19,232,00
Wants County Rule.
Mr.. Smith attempted to present
figures which he said would show
that Takoma Park residents would
obtain the same services for lower
taxes if the city would give up its
charter and return to county rule
under the Montgomery and Prince
Georges governments.
Mr.. Smith represented George
A. Guide and Joseph P. Abrahams,
owners Of property at the south
east corner of New Hampshire
avenue and University lane which
was returned to Takoma Park at
the last session of the Maryland
General Assembly.
The speaker had hardly begun
when Mayor Ross H. Beville ruled
him out Of order. Each time Mr.
Smith attempted to set forth the
case Of his clients. who regarded
the municipal tax as an unneces-
sary additional burden. he was

MIR. Smith said his correspond

Manager Irving G. McNayr indi-
Gated the county could provide
the same services now received
by residents on the Montgomery
side Of the town for $2.77. This
contrasts with a total tax rate OF

Smith contended. He did not
present figures for the Prince
Georges County side of the town.
After other Council members
objected to the presentation
Mayor Beville declined to permit
Mr.. Smith to continue, but invited
him to attend an executive ses-
sion Monday. Mr.. Smith refused
