Wanted: Some WeII-HeeIed Pioneers
NBC Has Plans for Making Haste Slowly During It's
Introductory Year of Color TeIevison Programs

Of color's problems and pos
Sibilities.
The tentative NBC plan
calls for q series OF color
premiereS, out of the Colonial
T'heater in New York, of pres
ent black-and-white shows, on
a rotational basis. Each would
be seen in color at least once.
These would be specially pre-
pared color shows, done by the
regular creative groups as
signed to them, with help from
the color experts. They would
be great in black and white,
but, we hope, superb in color"
There would be several
benefits from this plan. It
would, for one thing, give the
creative STATS of all NBC
shows valuable color expert
ence. It also would give both
pioneer color viewers and net
work executives a notion Of
what the addition of color does
for various types of programs.
Mr.. Weaver, whose imagina-
ton when regarding the fu-
ture is well-known in broad
casting circles, is not being
bound here by any precon-
ceived notions. AS a hearten-
ing sentence in the plan
phrases it: I'VE believe that
no one should decide ahead Of
color experience what shows
are good for color"
It will be tried on "the NBC
opera in English, Toscanini,
Great Conversations and other
occasional as we'll as regular
shows" Remote equipment
probably will be used for
"color pickups on Today and
Kate Smith. so that local
events and exhibits and cele-
brations can all be covered in
color"
Surprises Expected
The Pasadena Tournament
Of Roses. the New Orleans
Mardi Gras. football games.
baseball games. the Washing
ton cherry blossoms, Niagara
Falls and the Grand Canyon
are other prospective targets
Of the color cameras. Even
though getting into it slowly,
Mr.. Weaver and his planners
could come up with an excit-
ing Introductory year for the
pioneer color viewers.
1--WE know from seeing shows
live, in person." says the plan,
"how much color means to
our great revues and ex-
travaganzas. But-we expect
surprises. The advantages
that color may offer a panel
show, or q simple modern
drama, or q news pickup /.
well. We expect surprises!"
Should the network find it
possible during the introduce
tory year to move into sub.
stantial color programming on
. regular basis sooner than ex-
pected. it would do so. There
Ii another obstacle, however.
In addition to the problems
Of learning color Tv produce
ton techniques. That is the
problem Of getting the new
color equipment.
NBC has on order 20 color
TV cameras and camera
chains. This would enable
it to broadcast in color from
f1ve additional studios. Right
now color telecasting can be
done only from the Colonial
Theater and from MICS
Studio 3-H in Radio City.

who sit in on this will do 50

Another charge on which Col.
voorhees, was convicted was that
he submitted q chapter of the
book to Argosy Magazine prior to
clearance. The defense pointed
out that the publisher made this
arrangement.
Clearance Defined.
What is your definition of
proper clearance?" Col. johnson
asked prosecution counsel.

cleared and rubber stamps the

But what If the publisher
should make some minor altera-
ton? Then should the manu-
script be returned for another

1t. Brown replied that this
would be required under a strict
Interpretation of the regulations,
but that he doubted if it was a

regulations were vague and con-
fusing. even TO the experts who
lived by them from day to day.

Fort Meade in the historical
section, was convicted Of violat-
ing the regulations by sub
hitting the manuscript for
Korean Tales" to Simon &
Schuster without obtaining prior
clearance from review officers.
He was found guilty Of violat-
ing an order from his COM
handing officer to stop publica-
ton of the book until clearance
was effected. The board held
also that the colonel, who served
as a public information and re-
view officer in Korea, violated
Army custom by failure to. use
the proper channels in obtain
ing clearance.
Capt. William c. Irby, jr., in
sisted for the defense that Col.
Voorhees, obtained security clear
ance from the Pentagon before
he submitted his manuscript,
which was mostly fiction. He
declared this was the only APP
prevail necessary under the
Johnson directive.
Warned Publishers.
On the other hand, 1t.
Roderick B. Brown argued for
the prosecution that the book
was sent to the publisher in
December, 1851, before review
officers had seen the material.
Capt. Irby explained this was
done by the colonel's wife while
he was in Korea. He said that,
as soon as Col. Voorhees, learned
what had happened, he wrote
the publishers that the material
would have to be reviewed by
Army authorities.
The manuscript then was sent
to the Pentagon. Eventually it
was passed as to security, but
Army review officers found pas
sages referring to Gen. MacAr-
thur and to certain war corre-
spondents Objectionable from the
standpoint of propriety.
After Col. Voorhees, returned
to the States, he made two trips
to Washington from the West
Coast to clear up the matter.
On the last visit he left the
Pentagon with his manuscript,
with the matter Of ''propriety"
still in dispute.

mony. Col. Voorhees, authorized
the publisher to put out the
book.

himself as president. Not a

Leaders of the opposition Lib

army takeover, which it said was
necessary "to bring the country

Leaders of both wings Of the
Conservative Party, including
supporters Of Gomez, also in

Gomez was reported under
arrest in his home. Unofficial
reports said he might be per-

The new President named a

Salvage That
Slough Land
BJ KENNEDY WANNER

farmland cut up the field plots, max
ing it difficult to pillow, seed or Gull
tivate with large farm equipment.
1t is time-consuming to have to go
around each of these areas. Also,
they hold up the farmer in the spring
by keeping the fields too wet to
work.
Generally, the land beneath
sloughs is just as good cropland as
the rest of the field. In many cases
it is better because of the silt and
loan washed into low spots from
adjoining land. Draining makes
good crop land of this once waste
land.
Canals or bitches are most COM
monty used to drain slough areas.
These canals may speed up erosion
if they are not properly backsloped
and seeded to grass. In addition to
serving as buffer against the flow
of water, erased waterways also
serve as potential hay crop and
good early and late grazing for
livestock
Break Hardpan
Some sloughs are caused by an
impervious layer of clay, commonly
known as hardpan, beneath the sur
face. Because the water collects
above this layer, the ground soon
becomes Doggy. Dynamite can be
used to break up the hardpan, thus
allowing the water to seep on
through. If these sloughs are not
drained, the natural tendency is for
them to continue growing in size,
claiming more and more land.
Mosquitoes breed profusely in
sloughs if they are not controlled
by one means or another. Draining,
of course, is the most effective con-
troll. Oil, however, when used at the
right time of year, is also fairly eff
fective. Just few drops of light
oil on the surface of the water will
hold down the mosquito population
in most sloughs without harming
wildlife.
| Wildlife Refuge
Wildlife conservation would prob
ably head the list of arguments
against draining. Ducks, geese, and
many other forms of waterfowl,
small birds and animals, use sloughs
and surrounding areas extensively
for cover, feed and breeding ground.
By draining we are decreasing the
area of natural habitat and again
upsetting the balance of nature as
man has so often regretably done in
the past.
Not all sloughs can be drained,
for either economical or physical
reasons. Technical advice should be
obtained before starting such prof.
ect. The county extension agent OF
Soil Conservation Service will give
you the information needed or tel
you where you can get it.
Test Soil
Some swamps are alkaline to such
an extent that in some cases tn,
land could never be planted will
any degree of success, or at 1eas
the farmer could not plant the are;
as he normally would. A soil ties
and advice concerning crop type
should be obtained. The degree o
alkalinity decides the type of crol
to be grown on the drained land
