FORT MEADE, Md, Aug. IL.
"A Nationwide television audi
ence, including the White House
and the Pentagon. today viewed
a realistic battle" staged here
today in the first public demon
stration of the Army's Com
mand Post of the Future"
The post was equipped with
television "eyes" that enabled
combat commanders to see and
influence the course of the battle.
Color cameras of the National
Broadcasting Co. picked up the
action and officials said the
White House had asked installa-
ton of special receivers yester-
day. The telecast also was seen
on ordinary black-and-white re-
ceivers.
The Third Cavalry Regiment
made a difficult water crossing
and assaulted an enemy posi-
ton" while its commander, 1t.
Gen. Edward "A. French, watched
every move In his command post
two miles away. Eight television
cameras, one of them in a terra
plane overhead, accompanied the
troops.
It was a far cry from the days
when commanders got their
battle information by flares and
flags or even the days when gen.
erals relied solely on modern
communications, like the tele-
phone, telegraph and radio.
Ridgway Heads Participants.
High-ranking Army partic-
ipants were headed by Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway. chief of
staff; Maj. Gen. G. w. Smythe,
I'd Army deputy commander:
Mai. Gen. George I. Back, chief
of the Signal Corps, and Brig.
Gen. DaVld SarnOH, chairman OF
the board of the Radio Corp. of
America, which builds the equip
ment.
Gen. Back said it was a revo-
luton in battlefield communica-
lions. and that the demonstra-
ton was intended to show it's
practical ability.
The demonstration marked
the Goth anniversary of the first
proposal for the military use of
television-the proposal which
was taken to Washington in 1884
by Gen. Sarnoff for discussion
with the armed services.
The command post gave the
viewers an instantaneous view of

BY the Assoeiossd Press

RICHMOND, Dec. 11.-Arling-
ton County's appeal from rate
increases granted to the Virginia
Electric & Power Co. this year
is among about 20 cases sched-
uled to be argued before the
State Supreme Court of Appeals
in its next session here beginning
January 10.
Also on the courts argument
docket Is q case testing the Vir-
ginia compulsory school atten-
dance law.
On Monday, January II. the
appeals court is expected to hand
down decisions in about 20 cases
argued during the November
session. Among these is an APP
peal to two Carroll County
youths who were sentenced to
| die in the electric chair for slay-
ing an elderly storekeeper last
February.
Called Unreasonable.
IN the Vepco case, Arlington
County argues. among % as
| signments Of error In its brief,
that the State Corporation Com
mission order approving higher
rates was unreasonable arbi-
trary and capricious."
The new rates. approved De-
cember 80. 1853, went into effect
last March l. They are ex-
pected to produce about $4.8 mil
lion more gross revenue for the
company annually.
Many of Arlington's assign
ments Of error contend the sec
did not make the proper studies
before 1t acted on the rate pro-
posal. Also. says the appellant.
the sec did not allow Arlington
q full and fair hearing" in the
case last fall.
Sentence Questioned.
The Northern Virginia county,
which entered the rate hearing
last year as an interyenor, at
first asked the appeals court to
suspend the Vepco rates until
the case had been decided. But
the court refused this when it
accepted the appeal as q matter
OF right to the appellant.
In the school law case, James
Dobbins. a Negro school patron
in West Point, contendS he was
Illegally sentenced to jail for 30
days and fined $50 for failing
to require his daughter to at
tend school,
The case came from the King
