On the Air
|ABC Plans a New Approach
To TV News Reporting
By Harry Macarthur

The ABC-TV network has been
doing more. it turns out. than just
sit there awaiting word on the
merger with United Paramount
Theaters. Some people around
there have been making plans,
and most exciting ones. While
other networks have been busily
setting up their comedy shows
and programs with high-priced
stars, the boys at ABC have been
looking into some other corners
or the television field.
One project they have come up
with is "The All-Star News" a
program which will be on the TV
network total Of four and a half
hours each week, starting Oc-
tober 9.
Another project is a program
called Seminar" which will per-
NIT viewers to sit in on an actual
seminar in American civilization
at the Columbia University School
of General Studies. This is to
start October 4.
All other TV broadcaSters will
have an eye on ABC when "All-
Star News" makes its bow. It
represents something of a new
concept in programming and re-
portedly grew out Of the conven-
ton experiences of the network.
The announcement by Charles
Underhill, national director of
television programs for ABC,
describes the new venture this
way:
Applying the broadcast possi-
BILE brush to the enormous canvas
of a nation and a world in a tu-
multuously historic period, The
'An-Star News will present the
most penetrating. highly-docu-
mented. interesting and colorful
panorama Of the news scene, plus
the contrasting motifs Of human
interest, pathos, wit and humor.
that has yet been conceived for
the television media"
It is to be hoped that it will pre-
sent all this more concisely.
X X X \
AS managing editor. to head the
"All-Star News staff, ABC has
hired Louis Ruppel, recent editor
Of the Mcclure Newspaper Syndi-
cate and former editor Of Golfers.
He will have at his beck and call
a number Of "names" in the news
casting trade. Among these will
be Elmer Davis, Martin Agronsky,
Pauline Frederick, Gunnar Back,
John Edwards, Bryson Rash and
a number Of others.
"All-Star News" programs will

Mr.. Underhill. in announcing
ABC-TV'S revolutionary approach
to presentation of television news,
noted there had been q feeling
that radio had an edge over TV in
the field.
This 'edge,'" he continued,
"has been felt to be due to radios
ability to draw upon such techni-
cal resources as direct overseas
broadcasts, ability to move a
minimum Of technical broadcast
equipment into news-making
Iareas, and the major premise that
radio, by virtue of its extreme
fexibility, based upon its appeal
to the aural faculty alone, could
not be equalled or surpassed in
this field by television.
Most Of these so-called techni-
cal drawbacks in teleViSion are
rapidly being overcome in the in
dustrys research laboratories and
in actual television practice"
In other words. II To-day" can
do it In the morning, ABC-TV can
do it at night.
Announcement of the other
ABC-TV project has not been
officially released as yet,- but there
lis a report on it in this weeks
Variety. The Seminar" series will
be seen on Saturdays from z to

Only IS students are permitted
to register for the course at the
school, but televiewers may obtain
"a syllabus in order to follow it
closely and can take the final
examination. You won't get any
academic credit, but your paper
will be graded so you can see
whether or not you learned any
thing from your TV set during the
series.

The commissioners and King

Later Harvey contacted the
Chicagoans and was told that full

formed for the IA 81 fee.
The commissioners were not
satisfied with the floating by

declaring that the interest rate
was, in their opinion, too high.
City Electric's Rosam substan-
tiated the charges.
Declared Delaney: Il may be
wrong but it seems to me this
whole thing is a little irregular,
We should have asked for bids
from the fiscal agents.
McCreedy emphasized that the
commission would get number

of the work that they are now
appointing a fiscal agent to do
correctly for them, such as
standardizing the bids in order to
get the lowest possible bid, said

Rosam's request for prompt
action also aided the commission
in making their decision. Vote
