FEC Plans 10 Adopt
Color System F favored
BYTeIevision Industry
No Opposition Found
To Method Geured
To Existing Receivers
RY the Associntsd Press

The Federal Communications
Commission announced today it
proposes to adopt for national
use a new compatible color tele-
vision system which can be
tuned in on existing receivers.
The color plan is sponsored by
the National Television System
Committee, a technical group re-
presenting the telecasting in
duStry.
The commission noted today
that no opposition to the MISC
plan has developed from any
source.
If the committees color Sys-
tenn should be sanctioned for
commercial use, it would throw
out the Columbia Broadcasting
Systems color broadcaSting
technique which FEC approved
on an exclusive basis in 1850.
The CHS system cannot be re-
ceived on existing sets without
conversion. The new one would
show up on present sets in black
and white. CHS has already in
effect, abandoned it's original
color plan in the face of industry
resistance and yesterday re-
ceived permission from FEC to
test the new compatible system
in the fall.

which sponsored color system

color this summer, its manufac-
turing plants could get into pilot
production of color sets by next
spring. The company estimates
the first color sets would cost
between $500 and $1,000.
The announcement of pro-
posed approval said the commits

miles at 70 miles an hour.
Hoffman Takes Stand.
Taking the stand, Mr.. Hoff-
man said he believed he was
driving at so miles an hour, and

lieved in treating all offenders

Il High Reds
Facing Purge
In North Korea
Radio Reports Them
Prosecuted for
Plotting Overthrow
BY the As.eeiotsd Press

TOKYO, Aug. THE Com
munist radio at Pyongyang said
tonight IL high North Korean
officials have been prosecuted
for planning to overthrow the
Communist regime and spying
for United States secret agents.
The North Korean radio said
among the IL officials were Rhee
Syng Yop, former Peoples Gen.
sorship Committee chairman, the
equivalent of special secret po-
lice, and PAX Hong Wong, for
mer Vice Premier and Foreign
Minister.
Confusion Over Name.
While monitors here heard
one name as Rhee Syng Yop,
the broadcast identified him as a
former justice minister and the
name probably is Lee Sung Yup.
Last month South Korean in
telligence sources said Kim II
Sung, North Korean premier, had
fired PAX and Lee in purge of
cabinet ministers who were pro-
Russian rather than pro-Chinese.
The ROK sources said PAX had
been jailed and his job given to
Lee Tong Kun, a South Korean
trained in Red China.
The North Korean regime on
Sunday announced, however,
that Pak's foreign ministry port
folio had been given to Gen Nam
II, the chief Communist truce
negotiator at Panmunjom.
Kim Favored in Dispute.
Kim repeatedly held a big edge
in a tug of war between North
Korean Reds trained by the
Chinese Communists at Yenan
and those trained in Moscow.
PAX, a South Korean who
turned up in North Korea after
being accused of melting Red
riots in the American-occupied
zone in 1916. was a former gen.
eral secretary of the Korean
Communist Party.
From 1948 on, he was one of
the most outspoken North Ko-
rean officials, often acting as
government spokesman.

influenced decisions in tax mat
ters in the Truman administra-
tion.
At the conclusion of the morn
ing session, subcommittee Chair
man Kean of New Jersey an
nounced that the hearings on
this particular phase of tax ad-
miniStration" were closed.
"We have endeavored to show
numerous cases in which high
officials of the Treasury Depart
ment influenced rulings on tech
nical matters which should have
been decided entirely on the
merits by officials of the Gn-
ternal Revenue) Bureau. We
hope cases like this will not oc-
cur again."
More Hearings Possible.
Mr.. Kean said his subcommit-
tee would remain "in being" for
the balance of the congressional
session. IF any matter is de-
veloped in the future which
makes necessary further public
hearing, we will not hesitate to
call them," he added.

Internal Revenue agents in con-
nection with a case in 1948 in
volvlng a claim for relief under
the excess profits tax law by the
