In Viewers Increase,
Fewer New Stations;
Color Progress Slow
BY Wayne Oliver

NEW YORK. Jan. Last
year brought television to mill

tions on the air and only Creep
ing progress in color.
Individual radio stations held
their own or gained, but net
work radio lost further ground.
Although the CHS and ABc
networks put out lavish color
programs, only about 10000 color
sets were manufactured and far
fewer were sold. as the public
baked at the prices close to
81 900. This contrasted with es-
Inmates a year ago BY industry
officials that $4,000 to 100, 900
color sets would be turned out.
On the other hand. black and
white set sales ran ahead Of 1853
through most of the year and
SIS to 8 million new sets were
sold.
The National Broadcasting Co.
estimated 50. 262, 900 sets were In
use on November 1 compared
with 27,812. 900 at the start Of
the year. A projection of this
rate OF gain would indicate q
total Of 33.5 million for the end
Of the year.
The construction Of new sta
lions slowed from the 1858 pace
Of nearly five q week to little
more than one d week, with the
year -end total expected to be
about 45O. There also were some
casualties. particularly among
stations in the new ultra high
frequency channels which can
be received only on sets with
special UHF tuners. More than
Is UHF stations closed.
While color meant little to the
average viewer who still saw a
black and white version, it
brought some major changes in
program schedules to accom-
modate the "spectaculars" tele-
cast once a month. The "spec-
taculars'' and the growing trend
toward rotation Of stars left the

While the year brought a rash
Of new panel quiz5es and canned
comedies, it also was marked by
some refreshing new talent such
as comedian George Gobel and
the TV debut Of Walt Disney and
his fabulous characters.

Food men base the forecast

spending. Prices. they say.

Paul s. Willis. president Of the

$64 billion about 81 billion
more than In 1858.
Prospects for 1855.
How far win your food dollar

partment paints q pretty en-
couraging picture.
Meat prices. it says. should
average about the same as 1854,
with supplies continuing at the
relatively high level Of the past
two years.
Poultry and eggs, USDA ON
cials say win continue at the
present situation - low prices
and big suppliesuntil around
June i. After that, they say,
supplies should tighten and
prices advance q bit. Prices Of
butter and cheese should con-
tinue at about present levels.
Coffee, which made headlines
in 1888 because of sharp price
increases. continued to advance
into 1854. However, reductions
became the rule in early autumn.
The government lowered
parity prices on butter and
cheese in the spring. Retail
prices declined and consumption
climbed. Use Of margarine con-
tinued to grow. but the pace
slowed.
Sales Record Set.
Frozen food sales again set q
record, despite the fact that
grocers we're having trouble
finding refrigerator space for the
growing number Of frozen items
available.
Makers Of cake mixes, q post

ever before around $50 million
packages.
That all added up to q good
year for food manufacturers and
grocerymen. The grocery manu-
facturers Of America said sales
Of manufacturers were about
four per cent ahead Of 1858, with
gain OF i've per cent expected
In 1855. At the retail level, sales
by grocery markets showed q
three per cent increase. rising
from $33 billion in 1853 to $34-
billion in 1854. And since retail
food prices were slightly lower
than in 1858. this was an actual
increase In the tonnage OF
