Los ANGELES. April 20
One day the television viewer
may be able to talk back to the
station when he doesn't like a
program by pushing a button on
the side of his set.
David Sarnoff, board chair
man of Radio Corp. of America,
said today DR.. v. K. Zworykin
of RCA laboratories is working
on such an electronic voting
system.
Addressing the convention OF
the National Association OF
Radio and Television Broad
casters which gave him its first
annual keynoter award for his
contributions to American broad
casting, Mr.. Sarnof said:
CDR. Zworykin hopes to be
able to- equip the standard home
television receiver with a button
which, when pressed, will regis
ter a vote of Yes or NO at the
television station. The purpose
of course, is to get from listeners
and lockers their reactions tc
programs and issues of the day
Eventually we may have 9
national push-button poll, the re-
suits of which can be tabulatec
automatically by electronic COM
puters at a central point. Thus
public opinion a throughout the
Nation could be sampled instan-
taneously."

clared. must be based on "a

American people"
Mr.. Sarnoff forecast that 1000
TV stations would be on the air

ness of over a billion dollars
annually.
At the same time, he said,
'radio plays too vital a role in
the life of this Nation to be can
celed out by another medium. "

THURSDAY,

It had passed the House twice
and the Senate once, but never
became law. The bill is designed
to raise standards for practice
of optometry, declare it a pro-
fession and restrict advertising.
William P. MacCracken, coun-
sci for the American Optometric
Association and the District OPP
tometric Association, told the
committee that these groups
hope eventually to get a law
here to prohibit what he called
corporate practice" The pres
ent pending measure does not
do this.
Spokesman for business estab-
lishmentS which operate optical
departments countered with the
charge that such a prohibition
was exactly what they feared
from the organized optometic
associations.

Miller 10 Name Group
To Unity Factions on
0ptometrY Measure
By Harold B. ROGERS

An informal hearing by a
House subcommittee on a con-
troversial bill to regulate optom-
etry in the District today turned
into lively dispute among sew
eral interested parties.
Chairman Miller of the District
Health subcommittee recessed
the session until this afternoon,
when the debate was expected
to continue.
Representative Miller. a ply
sician, said he hoped to get a
meeting of minds on the long
pending measure. He planned
later today to appoint a commit
tee of three or four men from
the disagreeing factions to see if
they could compose their differ
ences.
Bill Considered Before.
The measure had been con-
sidered by three prior Congresses.

MacGracken commended that the
District law is far behind those
of the States, all of which have
strengthened their laws. He
explained that the present Dis
trict law provides for two years
of high school and two years of
optometry school to qualify, but,
he said, the optometrists them
selves require high school
degree and more than two years
for graduation from a school of
optometry.
Outlawed in "a States.
Supporting his contention the
District should eventually out
law the corporate" practice of
optometry, he said that "a
States already have outlawed it.
II think that corporate prac-
tice is bad" he declared. THE
day will come when such prac-
tice is outlawed in the District"
Among other witnesses at the
morning session were Clarence

tive director of the National Re-

DR.. Evart F. Warren, an OPP

that his group already has raised
it's own standards. particularly

on Congress to pass legislation

Cruiser Wrecked
As Speeding Car
Takes To Ditch

Patrolman Albert Monas report.
ed Monday that a freak accident
which occurred on Route 40 Sun.
day had resulted in the demolish-
ion of a Madison County sheriff.
car and car operated by John
M. Schmitthaver, II, Springfield.
According to Patrolman Monas,
Deputy Robert Allison had parked
his cruiser about II feet off the
road on Route 40, three-and-one-
half miles west of West Jefferson,
while directing traffic at a hous-
ing project there.
The Schmitthaver car was said
to have approached at a high rate
of speed and the driver drove off
the road when he was unable to
slow down in time to avoid hitting
a car in front. AS a result, the
Schmitthaver auto turned COM
pletely over once and bounced
back on its wheels before crashing
into the cruiser. Both cars were
believed to be total losses.
Luckily, three persons riding in
the Schmitthaver car were injured
slightly. There was no one in the
cruiser at the time.
The injured were: driver, John
M. Schmitthaver; two sisters,
Jackie, IS, and Betty Schmitthav-
er, 20; and Kenny Nichol, II, al
so of Springfield. All were taken
to Mt. Carmel Hospital where
they were treated for multiple lac
erations and contusions. They
were later released.
Disposition of the case is still
pending awaiting word from ju-
venile authorities here.

State Sales Tax
Jumps Half Million

Roger w. Tracy, Treasurer of
State, whose office handles sales
tax collections, today reported
cash receipts of S3,475, ,023.96 for
the week ending August %, 1858,
pointing up a gain of approxi-
mately S50O,OO0 in excess of re-
ceipts for the corresponding per-
iod a year ago, and totaling the
largest amount collected during
any week of the resent biennium.
Included in the weeks figures
was $7,541.00 from cash tax stamp
sales at the TreaSurer's Ohio
State Fair emergency sales tax
office, an increase of S275.O0 over
1852 State Fair tax receipts.
Tracy revealed that Grand To-
tai tax revenues of $50, ,721, ,331. .96
for the first 60 days since July l,
1858, beginning of the current
fiscal year, were S5,O97, 1886. IA
greater than the corresponding re-
porting period in 1852 when the
Grand Total was S25,623, 1852.
THE dollar sign is a good sign
he said, especially when it's the
sign of good business as reflected
by retail sales tax revenues.
The weekly reports of sales tax
collections in Ohio are actually a
series Of money talks on state
wide classifications of industry bv
comparative figures. The sales tax
dollar total is a quick barometer
of business as a whole, and right
up to the minute.
Rundown of the figure BY coun-
ties, with comparisons from last
year, shows the rise or fall to a
dollar in sales taxes for successive
reporting periods. They are cur
rent signs of the times in eighty
eight counties based on total re-
tail purchases of taxable goods"
