ITS Too Bad About That Fight,

TV, however, put the pug in the
parlor. Wednesday night and Fri
day night became fight nights"
to people who previously had lived
apart from violence. A habit was
formed and the addicts are under
standably irked when those who
started them on the stuff try to
cut them of.
Another irony is that this par
ticular Robinson-Turpin fight
might not have been televised for
home consumption even if no one
had ever thought of theater TV.
The regular radio-TV sponsor
didn't bid too enthusiastically for
lit, according to reports. because
1T was an outdoor event.
An outdoor fight is a tricky
thing for a sponsor. There are no
rain checks attached to contracts

Wednesday night would have
meant that the sponsor was stuck
with an hour of time and nothing
to fill it, and no sponsor wants to
buy an hour on the radio and TV
networks for three nights in
row for the privilege of presenting
Ia fight on the third night.
It's even more complicated than
that. A fight rained out on a
Wednesday night might run up
against all sorts of previous COM
mercial commitments standing in
the way of broadcasting and tele-
Ivising it the following night.
Who, the question is, would the
complainants be snarling at if the
fight had been kept of of home
ITV for this latter reason alone?

On the Air

Wednesday. Why, the readers
wanted to know, wasn't the Sugar
Ray Robinson Randy Turpin fight
going to be on the regular tele-
vision channels? What's the big
idea, the callers asked, Of show
ing this fight on theater TV only
and trying to make me pay to
see it?
Something underhanded - and
maybe un-American-is going on
here, the plaintiffs intimated
when they didn't come right out
and say it.
The radio-TV department ex-
planned as calmly as it could that
(a) it is not personally responsible
for the actions of the television
broadcasters and that CD a man
staging a prize fight has right
to charge admission and right
to build a fence around the arena
so you can't see the fight without
paying admission.
This clear fundamental seems
to have been overlooked, blindly
or willfully, by a number of peo-
pie. One Representative called fol
congressional investigation and
charged that the failure to pro-
vide home radio and TV coverage
of the fight violated "a right that
should not be denied the tax
paying public Of America"
A Senator introduced a resolu-
ton to put the Senate on recorc
as favoring action by appropriate
agencies to prevent the practice
of limiting telecasting Of events
of national interest" to theaters
A Massachusetts, State Senator
registered a complaint with the
Federal Communications Com
mission and suggested that "ar

Isn't the World Series
In the Public Domain?

This is all sheer nonsense. It
will be giving these gentlemen
and some other complainants the
benefit of the doubt to suggest
that they are merely talking to
get their names banded about
or to curry some favor among
the televiewers. They can't be-
lieve this business about deny
ing the right Of the taxpayers or
prizefightS being in the public
domain.
Nobody has explained how you
determine public domain in cases
like this, but it seems safe to sug-
gest that baseball might wear the
public domain mantle a little
more easily than prize-fighting,
by virtue of a somewhat more
universal appeal.
Baseball club owners, it would
seem, have been gouging spon-
sors and broadcaSters for years by
assuming the right to charge
them for radio and television
rights. If the International Box
ing Club had no right to deprive
the home viewers of the Robin
son-Turpin fight, as some of
these boys are bowling. Gillette
and NBC are plain silly if they
pay a nickel for the right to
broadcast and televise the World
Series.
All they have to do is move
their TV cameras in and go on
the air. No baseball moguls can
deprive the taxpayers of the right
to witness this event of national

self is more fittingly called in the
public domain than any sports
event. It obviously has no right
then. to bar the television cameras
from public hearings of COM
mittees or from regular sessions
of either House or Senate.
It's silly, isn't it? But you can't
make one set of rules for the
IBC and another for every one else,
however you feel about the IBC
being boxing monopoly. You just
can't get away from the fact that
the promoter of a sports event
has right to hide it from the
eyes of any one who does not pay
him the admission he demands.
He may foolishly charge too high
a tab for ringside seats and scare
customers away and he may alien
ate a lot of sports fans by not
allowing television, but he is with
in his rights when he does it.
There are several ironic aspects
to the great fuss raised by the
channeling of the Robinson-Tur-
pin fight TV to theaters instead
of to homes and the corner bar
and-grill. The most notable irony
is that the whole storm has been
stirred up by a Frankenstein mon
ster television itself has created.

great. Lord Acton, the British
historian, said: Gall, power
tends to corrupt and absolute
power corrupts absolutely. Great
men are almost always bad

of great in the sense of a
Caesar or a Napoleon-whose
moral degradation was reflected
in one of his remarks. After
going back to France from a
campaign in Russia that cost
the lives of over 100000 of his
countrymen, he rubbed his
hands before the fire and said:

000,000,000 a year.
The chairman of the Senate

declared in a prepared Senate

could bring the cost of an a-bomb
down to less than that of a tank.
He urged this country spend
$6,O00,0O0,000 a year to equip an

American security by making IL
impossible for Russia to attack

He said only $3.50, 100000 ac-

the year ending last June 80.

Scott seemed deaf to Jigger's
speech. He just kept staring, as

picture. A minute passed and
Jigger said, Il want you to do

First Scott raised his eyes in

them to free them from Jigger's s

inaudibly, Its too late for Merle

tore at Scott's sleeve. Move, man
Pick up that phone and confess
