TVS 80. s. Steel Hour" It had
q lot Of sinister goings-on in a
courtyard, watched over by "a
courtyard philosopher, which is
more or less what Mr.. Hitchcock
had.
The play was Kings Pawn"
and 1t was all about a crafty
mathematician who was bandya
ing national secrets about dis
guised as chess moves. He got
caught. all right. by another
mathematician, the innocent but
suspected one, played by John
Forsythe, with some help from
Janet Blair. Neil Hamilton was
on hand, too. Since he was do
ing television drama before
anybody ever heard Of 1t, it Is
good to see Tv keeping him
busy.
Mr.. Forsythe is q thoroughly
convincing actor who manages
to avoid getting oyerwrought
and he and Director Alex Segal
made taught and tidy business
of Kings Pawn" It may not
have been the best play ever
on television, or the best in
the past two weeks, but 1t was
a completely agreeable hour.
Came 10:30 and it was time
for another switch. back to
Channel 8 for Edward r. Muir
rows "See It Now" Mr.. Murrow
was devoting his full half-hour
to that business of the college
debating groups and the years
hot debate topic, SHOULD We
Recognize Red China?"
AS usual, he covered the mat
ter fairly and cogently-objec-
lively without managing to hide
how he feels. How he feels is,
or seems to be, that problems
seldom are solved by refusal to
discuss them. Those who dis
agree may feel that Mr.. Muir
rows coverage was slanted and
not in their favor. On one
screen it came off as another bit
of good reporting on one aspect
Of the climate Of fear. It was
stimulating television.
Television ought to come UP
with evenings like this more
often.
s s.aa
Come to think Of 1t, however,
all was not the unadulterated
joy indicated back there in the
second paragraph. There was
during Kings Pawn" as there
is every second week, that ses-
sion with that young married
couple who like everything made
out Of steel, from zippers to
artichokes. Steel is fine, maybe
even for artichokes If properly
favored and tempered, but if
this bemused viewer ever heaves
an ash tray through the screen
it viii be because those two are
standing there yapping about it.
Well, it was sweetness and
light longer than usual, wasn't
it?

II there is one thing critics
have, it is critics. some one is al
ways accusing the critics of be-
ing too. well. critical. Often it
is some one who has just been
belted across the chops with q
few ineptly chosen words. But
it is just as likely to be some in
nocent bystander, who thinks q
reviewer ought maybe to keep
his temper in check and live and
let live.
Well. all right. Have some
sweetness and light. The televi-
sion looked Just fine to this OBJ

Thanksgiving Day ought to be a
proper time to admit it.
It is, of course, significant that
it Is q surprise when q man can

But on Tuesday here was Miss
Dinah Shore, a joy any old time,
all spread out in a half-hour to
celebrate General Motors SO mil
lionth automobile. With her on
NBC-TV, Miss Shore had some
other singers-Peggy Lee, Kitty
Kallen and Patrice Munsel. That
is q vocal quartet television has
needed for some time. Miss Shore
also had George Gobel on hand
and he managed to pay typical
tribute to the auspicious occasion.
Miss Shore introduced the SO
millionth automobile, too, or
rather she introduced John
Cameron Swayze, who wasn't
allowed q night off even If

and he introduced it. It was
gold-plated, allaying the sus-

Canned Soda Pop
Sales Boom Laid
To Handling Ease
y The Associated pn..

NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-The
American consumer. with q deep
affection for both soda pop and
convenience. has pushed sales
Of pop in cans to startling
heights In little more than Q
year.
Soda pop spent more than Q
century In bottles before making
its debut In metal container.
Experiments with canned pop
were tried several years ago, but
soon abandoned. A major prob
lem was to make q can strong
enough to Withstand the high
carbonation Of q soft drink.
Such problems have been licked
since then. however. And when
marketing of pop In cans began
anew last year. the reception
was remarkable.
Can makers say that more
than q billion canned soft drinks
will be sold in 1854. And they
expect sales to move up to as
high as three billion cans next
year.
The potential market has at.
tracted more and more compa.
nies to the field. One Of the
new entrants, the Tap-A Cola
division of Pabst Brewing Co.,
says there were only about five
producers at the end Of 1858
and that by last spring there
were at least q score.
Key Is Convenience.
Forrest L. Fraser, executive
vice president Of Pabst and head
Of Tap-A Cola, observes that
the clue to pops popularity In
cans Is convenience. Housewives
like cans because they save stor-
age space and require 10 return
to the store for refunds, he
says. Also. there's less weight.
Mr.. Fraser predicts that
canned pop will create new
markets. Only so per cent Of
soft drink sales today are In the
carry home class, and Mr.. Fra
ser believes the can viii boost
such sales rapidly.
Walter s. Mack, who once
headed Pepsi Cola, was the first
to enter the canned cola field in
a big way. His c q C Super
Coola Corp. began distribution
in the New York area In May,
1858, and since has expanded
to nearly all parts Of the coun-
try. 1t turns out soft drinks in
both six-ounce and 12-ounce
cans at six plants in as many
sections Of the country.
See Battle Ahead.
some industry quarters see q
battle shaping up between pop
in cans and pop IN bottles. The
stakes are high: The cola mar
ket alone, which accounts for
So per cent of the total pop
volume, is rated a billion-dollar
annual business.
Bottle-vs.-can isn't the only
argument going on. Among
Canned pop makers you'll hear
sharp words over which type
can is better-the cone-top type
used by Super-Coola and Ca
NADIA Dry or the flat-top can
employed by Tap-A Cola.
No matter how these battles
turn out, however. can makers
like the looks of the future. They
expect their output Of cans for
pop to rise to IL or Is billion
annually within several years.
