It is for the most part, an

who hustle through the din

Among this devoted new

he declared. 1T is just as

ON THE AIR
Prepare for Fee TV,
1t Seems Inevitable
BY HARRY MACARTHUR

The Federal Communica-
tions Commission. as you well
know, has asked all of those
interested to pass along their
views. pro and con, on sub
scription television. Since I
have been living with TV since
1t seemed to be dedicated
largely to Navy recruiting films
and something called Small
Fry" it would be remiss of me
to ignore the commissions re-
quest.
If the FEC wants a con-
sidered opinion, it shall have
one. This is that fee TV prob
ably is inevitable and every
one may as well relax and en-
JOY it. Those who can't enjoy
1t, who seem to be theater
owners for the most part. had
better learn to live with it.
The movie theater folk
might feel better. incidentally,
If they can avoid a panicky
feeling in the face of this
threat of some unknown new
competition. They should re-
member that attaching a box
Office to the receiver will not
alter the nature of the tele-
vision beast.
Still Televisi0n
Fee TV should give us su-
perior program fare, but it
still will be television. And
television just can't handle the
sweeping themes. the complex
stories, the panoramic photog-
raphy that the movies can do
50 well. For most, fee TV still
will be less than two feet
wide and that's not VISTA
Vision.
The arguments against sub
scription television sound bet
ter when spoken firmly and
too rapidly for interruption.
One OF the principal ones. for
instance. is that fee TV would
violate the traditional Amer
lean system of free broadcast
ing.
The word free" is used
loosely there. Nothing lights
up your living room screen
here in Washington that is
not paid for by advertisers.
The money for unsponsored
public service programs comes
out of the profits made on the
sponsored shows. This, par

window, Coe continued his
musings about the theater.
I'm some circles it is FASH
ionable to condemn all tele-
vision plays as hack and COM
mercial." he said. Actually,
although the Broadway the
ater is the mother art and
should lead the way, there Is
little on Broadway today
which is not sheer CONNER
cialism.
No Genius Rampant
II see little genius. little
originality. little fresh inve1-
tiveness running rampant on
Broadway. There is one basic
requirement for getting a play
produced-will 1t sell top-price
tickets?"
Fred Coe said that though
he would not be averse to
producing a play on Broad
way, he sees no reason to
prefer 1t to television.
There is, of course, the
advantage of the live audi
ence," he said. There is also
the satisfaction of being able
to see the results of your work
more than once, rather than
see it dissolve in front Of you
like sculpture in the sand.
after one performance.
But we in television have
the great reward of thst
enormous audience. many Of
whom would never otherwise
be able to have the pleasure
of the theater."
A Sports Fan
And when MIR. Coe, winner
of television's three most
coveted awards for fine
dramatic shows, watches tele-
vision. what is it he watches?
If it is the fall season, he
watches football. In the
winter, he watches basketball.
Now, he watches baseball,
especially he watches the New
York Giants.

enthetically, is not a complaint
against the system, because
advertising is a key part of
our mass production economy.
Vice president types just sound
a little funny when they speak
righteously of free broad,
casting.
Some of them. of course,
put the argument another way.
Fee TV. they say, would vio-
late your right to free recep-
ton over channels set aside
for public use. This might
sound better if the economic
facts of life had not got there
first.
Channels Unused
Setting aside the channels
for public use has not auto
matically put them to use.
Without looking up the exact
figures it still is safe to point
out that at least four times
as many TV channels have
been set aside as have been
occupied. Seven commercial
channels have been allotted
to Washington, for instance.
Construction permits have
been granted for two of the
three UHF channels not in
use; the third is a forlorn little
orphan nobody wants to adopt.
AS a matter of fact, some
body is always violating your
right to free use of the tele-
vision channels. To cite just
one instance in any week. the
National Broadcasting Co. vio-
lates my right to free use of
Channel 4 every Wednesday
night at 10 o'clock by putting
This Is Your Life" on it. It
couldn't violate it more if it
charged very viewer S. to
watch the show.
Opponents of. fee TV have
another argument. 1t would,
they say. soon outbid sosealled
free TV for boxing matches,
the World Series and other at
fractions now sponsored. 1t
might do Just that, but let us
not confuse the right to look
at a televiSion set with the nom
existent right to climb the
fence and get into the ball
park for free.
Subscription television will
take over all of television. its
