AS for color TV, there's just one screen size
on the market today - about IL inches wide.
But tubes for larger pictures have already
been demonstrated successfully; and color
receivers with screens up to II inches or more
should be on the market by the end of the
year - perhaps sooner.
You might remember this when you're read
ing about set improvements in the future
Tube" size, so often mentioned. does not
mean picture width. The picture, or viewing
surface, is usually from two to four inches
smaller than the tube measurement
What sCiu you get on your color receiver?
Not much color on it for few months -
mostly the regular black-and-white telecasts.
But you'll probably get a lot of neighbors in
front of it. There will be now-and-then tele-
casts of some of the big-name network pro-
grams, a few attractive special events, and
some films in color.
But as of May l, the combined color menu
of all networks amounted to less than three
hours per week. And this total will grow very
little before fall. Furthermore, that's only a
half-answer that leads to other big questions.
Where do you iue? Of nearly 400 TV sta
tons now operating over the country, about
80 already have the equipment to pick up and
re-telecast network color show. This equip

less than 1000 color TV sets are in actual use.
For while the color sets will probably cost
the manufacturer far more than the retail
price to you. He must charge up his loss as a
pioneering cost, or as an advertising expense,
to identify his brand name with the color
minded public Competition in the field is
going to be tough.
But from now on color sets will be coming
off the assembly lines in increasing numbers.
Estimates as to this years sales range all the
way from 10000 to 100000 sets. And predic-
tions for next years sales range from $4,000
to million. That's important to you because,
quite naturally, as sales increase, prices will
be lowered.
What about the screen Size? Funny thing
about new TV set owners - they'll talk about
the screen size before they Il mention the make
or reception of their set. Sort of like parents
who brag about new baby's weight before

ment costs up to $4,000 to install as of now
- which isn't expensive as TV costs go.
In fact, about 200 stations are expected to
be re-telecasting color network programs by
the end of this year. In other words, if you
live in a big-city area, you are likely to have
network color within the next few months
But there won't be too much of it.
What about local programs in color? That
is live color shows which originate in your
own home town or nearby city? Well, that's
some time off, even for the bigger cities Ade-
quate equipment to originate live color show
now costs from half to million dollars. And
that's not to mention the added production
costs that each color program will entail.
But here's good news! The same equipment
that has been developed for telecasting films
in color over the networks can also be used by
individual stations. The price for this equip
ment is about $4,000; and with all it has to
offer in the way of syndicated and locally pro-
duced color films, this is practical expendi-
ture for most stations. This film-projecting
equipment is expected to be in use by many
stations not later than December
Also, color slide equipment is already per-
fected - at about the same price - and this
too will have its local uses. Imagine flower
show reported on color slides. Any Garden

come along together - just as autos and good

But let's forget these broader problems for
the moment, and answer the questions of
specific interest to yOM..
What ,ciH you pay for a color receiUing
set? If you buy one right now you'll pay
from 81, 600 to ST, 100 for it = plus from $3.50
to $3.50 for installation and service for the
first year. In fact, as of May l, only two
manufacturers had color set on the market
and ready for immediate delivery.
However, several other manufacturers have
already produced sample models and some of
these models are now in regular production -
or will be soon. But many set manufacturers
are hesitant about making definite promises
as to prices or delivery. Others are still neck
deep in research and production planning.
You should bear this in mind - right now

Veto Of LiberaIized

Senator Williams, Republican,

today that President Eisenhower
will veto a liberalized pension
system for 531 members of Con-
gress and their 1900 employees.

gave final approval, by a 61-30
record vote, to the pension
measure which twice had glided
through the House without hear.

vote
Unless the President vetoes
the measure-and that seemed
unlikely-Senator Williams said
Congress will find it impossible
to say no to some two and one
half million other Government
employees who pay the same re-
tirement rates but get far less

Estimate Of Extra Cost.
Senator Kennedy, Democrat,
of Massachusetts, said the bill as
finally adopted would require an
estimated $1.2 million additional
from taxpayers over amounts
paid in by Congress members
and employees. But he said this
was proper, and that changes in
the measure had whacked out
100000 of costs.
He said civil service reports
showed 88 former members of
Congress now receive pensions of
about $25,580 a month, or $685.

members of Congress now pay

The Catholic Archbishop of Phil

Eastern Pennsylvania Catholics
turn of their radio and television
sets for a week during the lenten
season.
The Most Rev. John F.. OHara,
noting his suggestion was not
mandatory, said "these inven-
tons can be for the glory of God.
but they may also be a means of
destroying both our spiritual and
intellectual life"
In pastoral letter yesterday
the Archbishop said. "Disconnect
your set for a week and then
take an honest appraisal"
Then, he added, ask yourself:
Have you missed anything
worthwhile?'
An aide to the Archbishop said
the pastoral letter did not refer
to specific programs.
The lenten season lasts for 40
days, beginning with Ash We'd

Walter Reed Reports
New Germ Isolation

A new and previously unknown
microbe has been isolated. it is
believed, by two Army research
ers at the Army Medical Service
Graduate School at Walter Reed.
The microbe may be the cause
Of some widespread ailments of
the throat and respiratory
system.
Reporting the find today in
the Proceedings of the Society
for Experimental Biology were
DR.. M. r. Hilleman and re-
searcher Jacqueline H. Werner.
The organism. according. to
the two researchers, was taken
from a soldier at Fort Leonard
Wood. Mo-, during the winter
of 1928. 1t was during an
epidemic Of acute respiratory
illness among the troops that the
soldier showed up at sick call.
A specimen was obtained from
him.
The soldier, according to the
report. had been suffering from
what doctors call primary atypi-
cal pneumonia. cause unknown"
It is also called virus pneu-
monia."
A majority of sick soldiers in
outbreaks at other camps showed
evidence of infection with the
new virus. according to the two
researchers.
While the microbe can be
grown in test tubes in human
tissue. attempts to produce a
recognizable form of the disease
in animals have failed, the re-
port said. No effort has been
made as yet to produce the dis
ease experimentally in humans.
The microbe could be the
causative agents. the report in
