the situation, became aroused.

Spurs Demand
For Home Fobrics

TeleViSiOn has Spurred demand
for home furnishings. -
This conclusion stands out in a
new National Cotton Council mar
ket report on upholstery, slip COW
er, and drapery fabrics.
Latest figures show that the
equivalent of 537 900 bales of cot
ton now go into home furnishing
items annually. This represents
nearly half of the total of all ma
terials. BY comparison, about 457,-
600 bales were consumed in these
uses back in 1947 when the impact
OF. television was just beginning to
be felt.
The Cotton Council report points
out, 'Television reversed the un-
favorable trend for home furnish
ings which began with the advent
of popular priced automobiles. Au-
tomobiles took people away from
their homes; television brought
them back. People are spending
more time in their home and are
entertaining more"
Style has become a primary con-
sideration in upholstery and drap-
cry fabrics, and it is a major con-
: sideration in slip cover fabrics, the
Council report notes. The present
style trend is away from flashy,
snowy furnishings to softer, livable
functional types.

This move by the government is
being made to stem the trend to
ruinously low prices for stick
forced into liquidation by extreme
drought conditions. Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson in
making the purchase program an
nounceemnt stressed that the gem
eral cattle situation and the
drought are two separate prob
lens but that they are now inter-
related and will be for some weeks.
The purchase program will aid
the drought sufferers immediate
ly while stringing out over the en-
tire period of heavy cattle market
ing an orderly purchasing pro-
gram that will tend to stabilize
prices. The meat would be pur-
chased in any event for school ana

To You, It's Free
NEW YORK.


The television shows you
watch in a single evening may
cost a third of a million dol
lars or more to produce and
deliver to viewers.
Both sponsors and networks
are cagy about exact costs, but
there are outside estimates
that are conceded in the in
dustry to be fairly accurate.
For instance, adding up ad-
ditional estimates by Publisher
Fred Kugel of Television Mag
azine. plus a few independent
estimates, gives the cost of the
shows on CHS television from
5 to 10 pm. Sundays as ap-
proximately $685., 900. That's
$77,000 an hour-nearly $1,000
q minute or $50 a second.
OF this, about $195.000 goes
for producing the shows and
$4,000 to the networks and
affiliated stations for telecast-
ing them.
For NBC it would run about
the same, and for ABC and Du
Mont substantially less.
A single half-hour variety
show may cost $4,000 just for
production. An official of one
Of the networks gave the fol-
lowing as costs of a hypothet-
tcal show: Star, $4,000; re-
mainder of the cast, $4,000;
team of writer's, $500; music,
$500: producer and director,
$500 each; physical costs such
as settings. lighting and the
like, $4,000; camera crew, stu
dio rentals, rehearsals, ETC.,
$2,500; with the remainder 60
ing to the advertising agency's
Is per cent commission, mis-
cellaneous costs and profit
If any-to the network.
A hypothetical half-hour
dramatic show costing $4,000
would run like this: Cast.
$1,000; scenery, lighting, etc.,
$4,500; rehearsalS, camera
crew and studio rental, $2,500;
scripts, $500: producer and di-
rector, $400 each; with the re-
mainder for agency commits
sion, miscellaneous costs and
any network profit left over.
No Secrecy Here
One point on which there's
no secrecy is the cost to the
sponsor for broadcast time
over the networks and the sta
tionS they serve. For a basic
network of 81 stations CHS
charges $37 900 for a half hour
and $4,000 for a full hour.
NBC will provide a basic hook
up of II stations for $36, $50
a half hour and $60,750 an
hour. The sponsor can order
more stations added If he
wants to pay the extra cost.
One cigarette ompany
spends approximately $50,000
a week for one of its half-hour
shows. Using industry esti-
mates of an average profit
margin of a little over a penny
a pack, the company has to
boost its sales by three to four
million packs week to regain
the cost of the show. A gaSo-
line sponsor making 2 to 8

gallons to pay for a show of
the same cost.
NO cost figures are typical,
however, and there are wide
ranges both in costs of shows

show may cost as little as
$4,000 or as much as $40, 900 to
produce.

that the basic minimum rate

less than five lines to speak,
it's $70.50. However, many

the clock was right and he was con-
tent to think it right.
And yet it seemed wrong.
Why did 1t seem wrong?
Templeton Jones mulled over this
for long time before he hit upon 1t.
He decided that you can't get out Of
step with your fellow man.
II you do, you must feel 1t.
Criminals must feel much the same
way when they disobey the mass edicts
Of society.
Despite their bravado, they suffer.
and no doubt 1t serves them right.
When Jones went back on what he
likes to call false or fake time. he felt
much better.
It wasn't Just because he managed to
be on time wherever he went, but
solely because he was not opposing the
mass mind.
This famous mass mind, or mass man,
as it is in effect, could call black white
or white black and make it stick.
Templeton Jones hopes that nobody
will think of extending the power Of
the mass mind in America. There Is
enough of it now. too much. he thinks
as he contemplates what daylight saw
irlgs does to us each year.
Jones brand-new way to cool OF .

This and That

How are you getting along, Jones,
with your one-man campaign against
daylight-saving time?"
Templeton Jones, being a realist,
made no attempt to dodge the ques-
ton.
II am not getting along with it," he
sighed, Il have quit"
Jones is also that rare bird, an in
tellectually honest man. Where some
would have had recourse to humor, to
hide failure. Templeton Jones did moth
ing Of the sort.
Here was the way he explained it:
II there was any man In Washing
ton who might have been thought to
be able to ignore the change in clocks.
1t was T. Jones. esq.,. president Of the
Anti-Sneeze Society and recent In
ventor Of brand-new way to cool Oh
q hot cup Of coffee.
The change in time really meant
nothing at all to him, as it necessarily
must to most persons. He does not
operate by the clock and people are
glad to meet his appointments. He sell
dom cools his heels in Offices as so many
persons are forced to do.
Jones. therefore, thought this year
he would start OF in direct opposition
to the change and remain on Eastern
standard time.
He congratulated the Western Union
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-05-29

on keeping its big clocks solidly where,
according to Jones, they belonged.
Shall we set the clocks ahead?"
Jones was asked.
His answer was direct and seemingly
ANAL.
I'VE shall not" he said.
That evening, he thought of his IA
vorite news ,broadcaSter and, looking at
the clock, saw he had plenty Of time.
Turn the radio on, won't you?" he
asked Mrs. Jones'
why. that clock is standard time"
she smiled sweetly. "just as you asked.
You are almost an hour behind time,
you know
Templeton Jones did what, in nov
els, Is often called swallowing his dis
comfiture.
He grinned broadly. but said nothing.
The next day was his day OF and he
thought Of several small tasks he had
to do.
Time seemed to 60 so slow that he
began to be bored.
Every time he looked at his perfectly
. correct clock, it seemed to him wrong.
How could this be?
Time never went so slow, even to the

expansion IN southeast Asia. II we
once make this present truce, no mat
ter what we put in the agreement
about further negotiations for q united
Korea, it is no more likely to occur
than a united Germany.
In any event, I think we are bound
to the policy Of preventing Commu-
mist aggression where 1t occurs and
where it is within our means to stop
1t. I have never felt that we should
send American soldiers to the CONT
nent of Asia, which, of course, includes
China proper and Indo China, simply
because We are so outnumbered in
fighting land war on the continent
of Asia it would bring about complete
exhaustion even If we were able to
win. believe we might as well
abandon any idea of working with the
United Nations in the East and re-
serve to ourselves q completely free
hand.
This statement is going to shock a
good many people who still believe in
the United Nations. I believe in the
United Nations myself, but not as an
effective means to prevent aggression.
1t does have many methods by which,
through peaceful persuasion. it can
deter and prevent war. It has i'm
portant agencies which are concerned
with the improvement Of conditions
throughout the world. But as far as
the prevention of aggression is con-
cerned. 1t might as well be forgotten
for the present. ! think we should
call conference for amendment of
the Charter. and work out plan such
as the one ! described last year in my
book on foreign policy. which would
