The Passing Show

One Of the funniest things
about Cinerama is the way
people have worried about 1t.
Not its future; its present.
For almost two years now.
there has been only one pro-
duction in the process. "This Is
Cinerama." This has meant
that, unless they could recon-
Gle themselves to q hiatus dur
ing which their work might be
forgotten. the managerial gen..
fuses Of the process have had
to keep the Aim running.
Now it is not In the expert
ence of moviegoers that any
movie can last what seems like
forever. Critics who live in
something Of a half-world be-
tween moviegoers and movie
exhibitors, therefore. have been
besieged for two years in New
York, some Fights months in
Washington by the question:
What are the Cinerama people
going to do? i.
Now, the Answer
The answer is now available.
They are working full tilt as OF
now to put the finishing touch
es on "Cinerama Holiday" the
second production which should
be ready within the next eight
to ten weeks to take the place
of "This Is Cinerama."
Shooting on the second Gin
erama film is completed. It is
a matter now of editing, Scor-
ing and polishing it for the
IL special temples dedicated to
the process which dot the coun-
try from New York to Los An
geles. Like its miraculous pred
ecessor, "Cinerama Holiday" is
a spectacular travelogue, but
with the difference that it has
characters. What it has to
show the rest of us of the
earth'S remoter charms. we
shall see through the eyes Of
two average tourist couples,
one American, one Swiss.
The first pair tours Europe:
the second America. Both,
more intimately Of course than
the impersonal camera made
its fascinating journey In the
first Cinerama movie.
It is to be expected that the
second Cinerama production
will represent profound i'm
provement not merely in the
filmic process but in its use.
Certainly it will be far better
as to sound, the aspect repre-
senting the greatest challenge
to, and margin for. improve
ment.
Regardless Of its technical
and other advances, however.
"Cinerama Holiday" in one re-
spect will never be the dra-
matte sensation its father. to
speak. was.
It may-quite possibly will
be more spectacular in its
impact on the public and the
critics. It may play to more
people, for longer runs, and
make more money.
What it can never be, come
what may, is q sample movie

Of testimony provided by 80
witnesses over there in the
caucus room and 1t adds UP
to q lot Of listening and read
ing on the part Of Senator
Potter.
Little Is crystoI CIeor
On the surface his televi-
sion hearings seem to have
produced no more crystal
clarity than the televised ones.
The trade journals have re-
ported the Potter subcommit-
tee hearings thoroughly but
they have led us more con-
fused onlookerS to only one
conclusion. Maybe these broad
casting fellows had better go
back to Marconi and start
over.
Calmer reflection. however.
not to mention Qualification by
q man who knows what has
been going on, reveals that
some good already has come
out of the hearings held by
Senator Potter and his associ-
ateS. For one thing. the net
works. usually at complete
odds, turned out to be in full
agreement on some matters.
They are in accord. for in
stance, on the proposal that
the networks be placed under
stricter FEC control. To a
network, the networks do not
think this is a very good idea
at all.
There was another matter
on which everyone involved
agreed. This was the proposal
to remove the present excise
tax from all-channel television
receivers. This would mean
or should mean-that a TV
set capable of receiving UHF
as well as WIFI signals could
be sold for the price now
charged for q VHF-only re-
ceiver. This could do a lot
to help solve the conversion
problem, which plaques would
be UHF operators in cities
with WIFI stations already
established.
Controversy Plentiful
The areas Of agreement seem
to be considerably outnum-
bered. however. by the contro-
versial proposals made before
the Potter subcommittee. One
of these was suggestion that
all television be moved to the
ultra high frequency band in
a five-year transition period.
Another was the proposal
that all color television be
confined to UHF. Network
spokesman viewed both Of
these propositions dimly. to
put it mildly.
They did not take kindly.
either. to the statement by the
Zenith Radio Corp. alleging
that the economic plight Of
the UHF broadcasters was not
confined to them alone. The
entire economic foundation Of
television, based as it is only
on advertising support, Is
wrong, said Zenith, sponsor OF
, PhoneviSion.
A number of broadcasters
seem to agree. but the net
works disagree. Fee TV sounds
wonderful to viewers seeking
better programs and broad
casters seeking financial sue
cess. It is considered an at
tack on the foundations Of
freedom by already-successful
broadcasters who neglect to
note that they. also. happen to
be using the public air for pri-
vate gain.
Intermixtures Opposed
Another controversial mat
ter Senator Potter and his
subcommittee members discov-
cred, was the Fees ALLEGATION
plan, which ended the freeze
on Tv licenses. A number Of

|Loudoun Girl Sent
To State School After
36 Days in Lookup

A 16-year-old Loudoun County
girl finally Is being transferred
/ to a Virginia State training
school today after spending 81
days in an overnight police
lookup.
i The State Welfare Department
lacted hastily to take custody o1
the girl after newspaper &C.
counts yesterday revealed hel
predicament.
Carroll Minor, chief of youth
services for the State Welfare
Department, said the girl was
being removed from the police
lookup at Groveton ahead of at
1 least half dozen other girls
who are waiting their turn to be
taken to a State school.
No Room for Her.
I'VE knew she was there" said
Mr.. Minor. "but we just haven I
had any room for her."
Mr.. Minor stated that his de-
partment had notified the Lou
doun County court that the
State could not take custody of
the girl Immediately after she
was adjudged neglected and de-
linquent.
Judge Carleton Penn. Loudoun
County juvenile judge. who or
dered the girl placed in custody
Of the State Welfare Depart
ment. declared yesterday he
was surprised TO learn she was
still in the Groveton lookup.
Loudoun temporarily is using
the Groveton police lookup In
Fairfax County because Loudoun
is without a jail while a new
one is being built.
The girl was accused Of steal
ing 50 from a former employer,
and Judge Penn decided to place
her in custody of the State as
a neglected, delinquent child be-
cause she didn't want to go
home to her husband or her
mother. The girl was married
at Is, but is separated from her
husband.
School Overcrowded.
Mr.. Minor said the girl would
be taken to Bon Air Training
School near Richmond, which
already is overcrowded with 1873
girls occupying space intended
for 125.
1T is the only school we have
for girls" said MIR. Minor. I'VE
don't think they should stay in
police lockups either, but that is
something the individual COM
munities should do something
about"

Corn Acreage Up In Delaware
AS Farmers Seek Good Market

With the price support program
calling for a IL percent reduction
in corn acreage, Delaware farmers
have answered with a 40 percent
increase over the 1858 corn acre
age.
In planting more corn, the av-
erage farmer risks market prices
being higher at harvest time in
stead of producing smaller acre
age under the price support pro-
gram.
Corn is now the 5th ranking
cash crop in Delaware with a
$5,000,0O0 yearly income as COM
pared with rank of 18th and a
$4,000 income in 1945.
Delaware now has 173, 900 acres
of corn as compared to 10000
acres last year, according to DIR.
Robert o. Bausman, chairman of
the department of agricultural
economics at the University of
Delaware.
The advances in seed varieties,
planting, fertilizing and harvest
ing methods have reduced pro-
duction costs. Delaware farmers
can now sell corn for SIPS to
$1.30 per bushel and make a
profit.
The increase in acreage has
been nation wide. The question
is-has the drought offset the
surplus acreage enough to main
tain a strong corn market?
At present, the corn markets
are strong. Prices are 12c to I4c
above last years price at this
time.

, Agricultural Attaches Re-Join
USDA In Developing Foreign
Markets

United States agricultural at
taches - stationed at strategic
points over the world-have been
returned by Congress to the juris-
diction of the Department of Ag-
riculture. This means they will
now devote their primary atten-
ton to developing foreign mar
kets for American farm products.
This action was made possible
in legislation passed by the 83rd
Congress and approved by Presi-
dent Eisenhower. In 1889 our
agricultural attaches were merged
into the U. S. Foreign Service,
under the Department of State.
United States agricultural, at
taches have long history of
service to the farmer. Since its
creation in 1862, the United Stat
es Department of Agriculture has
collected world wide information
to advance the farmers welfare
to help him adjust his production
and meet foreign marketing needs.
Originally, the attaches, who are
trained agricultural reporters and
our farmers "eyes and ears
abroad, were known as agricul-
tural commissioners. They re-
ceived the title of agricultural at
taches in 1880.
Now, however, Congress has de-
cided they should be returned to
the Department of Agriculture, SO
that they can give full attention
to serving this country's farming
interests and be directly response
BILE to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture.
In the period from 1889 to 1851
there was great world need fol
United States farm products, ant
foreign selling was not great
problem Now, however, agricul'
tural production abroad is bach
on its feet, which was a major
factor in the 30-percent drop il
our agricultural exports between
1851 and 1858. Today there i.
greatly increased need for the ser
vices of the agricultural attaches
in helping to open UP new, much
needed foreign markets.

Keep Bossy Clean,
County Agent Urges


Early fall is the time to give
milk cows a partial haircut, says
County Agent, George Vapaa.
Clip the hair around cows I'D
ders, fianks, and bellies so that
manure and other barn debris will
not cling to them, he advises.
This job dosen't require any spec
ial skill, and the operator doesn't
need barber's license"
A few clean sweeps with the
clippers up each side of the tail,
starting the clipper about four
inches above the end of the tail
bone, will add greatly to the neat
appearance of the animal. Cut
ting the switch at about the level
of the hooks will also help a
cows appearance and make her
easier to keep clean.
The main advantage of clipping
is that short hair on the rear
quarters of the COW reduces the
time necessary to clean and pre-
pare the COW for milking.
Vapaa recommends a regular
clipping program in the dairy
barn to reduce sediment and bac-
terra. Reducing sediment and
bacteria improves the quality of
the milk produced, resulting in a
greater income for the dairyman,

Delaware Farmers Take Exams
In Finals of Green Pastures

School days returned once more
to about 100 Delaware farmers
during the past three weeks.
These men were given their
final examination" to determine
who is to graduate come Novem-
ber %. The examinations were
given in connection with the
Greener Pasture Program and
judging was done on the efficiency
of the farmers pasture program.

ties has just been completed, with
Kent county yet to be visited.
The judges conducting the tour
were Claude e. Phillips and Frank
Springer of the agronomy depart
ment of the University of Della
ware, Extension dairyman Delmar
Young, and the county agent
from the county being visited.
Most farmers passed with fly
ing colors as pastures were gen.
orally in good condition and hay
supplies were ample" Phillips
states.
Under the Greener Pasture Pro-
gram, which is sponsored by the
Delaware Crop Improvement AS
sociation in connection with the
Extension Service, total of $50
farmers are enrolled each year.
The farms are visited and rated
three times a year-early spring,
mim-summer, and late fall.
Farmers that obtain excellent
ratings will be graduated from
the program. OF this years class,
one-fourth to one-third are ex-
pected to graduate.
Scoring on the tour was based
on the farmers fall and perman-
ent or rotation pasture program
his hay program, and his grain
to milk ration or supplements
feeding.
The best pastures are graded
as excellent, very good or good
which corresponds with A, .B, and
c of earlier school days. Excel
lent pasture programs were scor-
ed from 95 to 100.
Certificates for those receiving
grades of excellent, very good, OF
