stand the 225-mile trip.
His verdict was that the color
picture received here at WNBW
was excellent" Further, he said
tests proved that had the program
he saw here yesterday been sent
Icross-country over existing faclll-
ties, the color pictures would have
been as good in Los Angeles OF
San Francisco as they were in
New York and Washington.
The pisbure from New York
both from the studio and from a
remote pickup at the Merchant
Marine Academy at Kings Point
Long Island, was "just as good
here" Gen. Sarnoff said, as the
pictures he has been seeing In
New York.
He was so thoroughly satisfied
with the transmission, as a mat
| ter of fact, that further color
showings here for the press and
Government officials will be sched-
uled early in october.

Another local color development
was WTOP-TV's decision not to
telecast the CHS schedule for
college football games in color. 1t
isn't that WTOP-TV does not
have faith in CHS coldE; just that
lit does not feel that the audience
here equipped to receive it is
overwhelmingly large as yet.
Football games in CHS color will
be seen here, the local outlet has
announced, in a public place now
being arranged, via a closed cir
cult.
The big imponderable in the
color news, in case you missed
the stories on it, is the new color
tube perfected by Prof. Ernest
Lawrence, the man who won the
Nobel Prize in physics for invent
ing the cyclotron. This is the one
which Paramount Pictures was re-
ported financing and about which
several rumors have leaked East.
The tube now has been demon
strated in New York and, it is
claimed, will work with any color
ITV system and with black-and-
white, as well.
1t might mean simpler CONVEX
sion Of present sets to either the
RCA or the CHS system and IL
might mean that some other sys-
tenn could now be developed. Gen
Sarnof got out of town before
he could be questioned about the
new Lawrence tube, but you can
expect to hear from him. And
from DR.. Frank Stanton Of CHS.
