TV Is Rough on Reporters;
The Boss Now Is Watching
By Harry Macarthur

Now that television is here,
you'd better advise your young
against taking up the newspaper
trade. It isn't the effect of TV
on newspapers which will make
the craft less pleasant. 1t is
the effect of TV on newspaper
men.
There was a time when a
newspaperman could, like radios
old Baron MunchauSen, say.
"Vas you dere, Sharley?" and,
getting a negative answer from
the city editor, speak freely. Not
any more. Now there is tele-
vision. The current TV show
which some one has dubbed "At
War With the Army" is a fair
portent of things to come.
That drawn-out, f1nicking ar
gument the other afternoon over
the transcripts of telephone con-
versations, for example, was
just the sort of thing to fasci-
nate newspaper folk. They deal
in/words. BY training, they seek
to penetrate the obfuscations as
quickly as possible and get to
the heart of story.
Most of them also have had
some dealing with courts or
court news. They know that a
stenographic transcript is no
less valid because the court
stenographer wasn't able to
catch every word.
So, here was a group of grown
men spending the afternoon
wallowing in a great semantic
shambles in the Senate caucus
room. Testimony that several
words had been dropped from
the transcript of a phone con-
versation quickly was turned
into an implication that this
then was an incomplete and in
accurate account of what was
said. Omissions" were referred
to as "deletions," a vastly differ
ent thing.
1t was an unbelievable debate
which had almost a hypnotic
effect on newspapermen. So nat
urally. there was standing room
only in the office here at The
Star equipped with a television
set.
You may see nothing unusual
in this. A lot of other television
sets have been surrounded by
clots of fascinated people during
the telecasts of the Army-Mc-
Carthy hearings. This particular
TV set, however, had the mem
bers of The Star staff covering
the hearings pinpointed right on
the center of a spot.
At one period during this par
ticular afternoon this sets audi
ence included the managing ed
itor, the news editor and the city

well-known general entered the
caucus room, sat down behind
the witness and leaned over to
talk to the Secretary of the
Army.
Hey" came the voice of the
picture editor from somewhere in
the TV audience, that's a great
shot. ! hope somebody got that"
A great many housewives also
are in position to check on the
accuracy of newspaper accounts
of these hearings. of course. But
the dissatisfaction of a lot of
housewives is no clear and pres
ent threat to reporters morale.
His managing editors dissatis-

TESTING-Zenith Radio Cor
poration's Phonevision will un-
dergo a series of summer tests
over WOR-TV in New York. The
experimental telecasts will be
done during daytime hours when
the station would not normally
be on the air.
Zenith, a pioneer in fee tele-
vision, has had a petition before
the Federal Communications
Commission for some time re-
questing a hearing. It's Phone
vision began as a system for
transmitting a scrambled TV pic
ture over the air. unscrambling it
with a DECIDING signal sent over
telephone lines. It subsequently
has developed systems employing
an IBM-type card (such as Skia-
irons Subscriber-Vision en-
ploys) and a coin box (the
method used by Telemeter.
All three of these, and pos
sibly other Phonevision devices,
will be tested during the sum-
mer telecasts in New York. This
will not, incidentally, be an ex-
ploration of public acceptances
of fee television, which Zenith
probably. feels is already estab-
liShed in Chicago tests. The New
York telecasts will be tests of

The Senators are attempting

bat in his hands.

President Calvin Griffith said to-
day. We've been talking to
several clubs. We've made sew

Calvin chatted yesterday with

ing the trade with a third gen.
eral manager. Cleveland's Hank
Greenberg. He was contemplat-
ing talk with Detroit brass to-

If the Senator's dispose of
Mickey Vernon. their 35-year-
old league-leading hitter, it will
come as no shock. The veteran
first baseman has annoyed the
front Office with his annual
salary fuses, but despite his
1897 hitting of last season
Mickey is in no great demand.
Other clubs are cognizant of
the fact Vernon will be SO years
old shortly after the start of the
season. Although Calvin re-

status, it's believed the Sena-
tors will unload him if offered
an attractive deal.

Four-Minute Mile
Again EIudes Landy

MELBOURNE, Jan. 21.-John
Landy, Australians great miller,
failed again in his bid for A.
minute mile tonight Running in
a special twilight meeting at
Olympic Park, he was timed IN
1904.
Landy. who has failed on sew
eral occasions to Shatter Gunder
Haegg's world mile record of
4:0l.4. nevertheless did turn in
one of the fastest miles ever.
Back on December IL he was
timed in 1902. the third fastest
winning mile on record. Arne
Andersson's 4:01.6 is the second
fastest.
Landy competed before a crowd
of $4,000. the largest ever at
Olympic Park. He ran the first
quarter in SO seconds. the half
in zoos and the three quarters
in BOIL. He won by IS yards
over Geoff Warren. Less Perry
finished third.
Takes Big Lead Early.
Landy was pushed only in the
first quarter. He took the lead
20 yards from the start, running
against a slight headwind.
Dave Stephens ran wide on his
outside, but when both runners
crossed the line at the end Of
the first quarter. Landy was five
yards in front.
Early on the second lap, he
established a 15-yard lead and
at the half -mile mark, he was
entirely on his own. Is yards in
front of his nearest competitor
During the third lap, the
crowd became so excited that
officials appealed over the pub
lie address system for silence SO
Landy could hear his lap times.
The crowd oheyed briefly. but
as soon as Landy started on the
final 40 they cheered continu-
ally.
Landy slowed down as he
neared the tape and walked
dejectedly toward the officials.
He did not appear distressed.
