By CYNTHIA LOWRY

NEW YORK.-If you're somebody who can
take politics or leave it alone, this is a good
time to take to the hills.
Like it or not, the summers staple diet of
TV and radio is going to be national politics.
And during the last two weeks of August, when
the conventions are in progress, apparently the
only escape will be blown fuse.
Already all TV signs lead to Chicago and
San Francisco Our legislators in Washington
we'll as in assorted State capitals, consider
the Sabbath day lost unless they are giving
tantalizing answers to questions about their
presidential choices.
The networks are painting pictures of the
marvels which will permit the great public to
see everything involved in the selection of a
candidate. Excluded, of course, are those secret,
smoke-filled room sessions which continue to
resist the cameras gaze.
CHS already has pedded its convention
coverage for a reported IS million to Westing-
house, which apparently was happy with its
similar 1852 package. ABC has sold its operation
for some 81 million - to Phico. NBC which
hasn't officially announced sponsorship yet, is
planning to split the conventions among three.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-03
Politics Will Take Over

probably OldSmobile Sunbeam and RCA, and
at price of around SIS million.
The networks are engaged in a race to
attract an audience, throwing in their top
trained seals as reporter analysts and pulling
out all the electronic stops on the use of equip
ment.
All this excitement is done in the name of
''public service" and any network employee will
pontifcate on the right of the public to know.
Actually, the convention coverage is a dandy
exploitation device for televsion itself and gives
the industry a chance to show its muscles in
public. Political conventions, like prize fights
and baseball, are perfect for television All are
conducted in confined spaces, making it possible
to concentrate on captive cast of players.
The networks are engaged in a Boosting
contest involving staff and equipment. One
contest involves which network has the smallest
two-way radio set. NBC claims its set is the
size of cigarette packs, but ABC tops that with
sets the size of cigarette lighters. CHS, alas,
weighs pounds.
Each network will throw stats of about 800
into the battle CHS estimates it will use %
tons of equipment.

Christmas
Trees

once the visitors to this museum exhibit
" ton in San Francisco got used to the
idea that what they we're viewing were
Christmas trees that weren't really trees,
they began to enjoy the show. Sponsored
by the San Francisco Museum of Art, the
display featured the works of modern de-
signers let loose on the Christmas tree
theme. Although adorned by the usual
Yuletide ornaments and tinsel, the trees
took any shape the designer thought suit
able, from gaudy bushes to cubistic spirals
of steel wire.
Unlike most museum exhibits, the OBJ
jects ON display were for sale for the
benefit of the museum, and brisk trade
was recorded in modernistic trees, perhaps
not so much for home use as for gifts

With the exception of October. 1886,
which went of the board Monday. all
deliveries finished in lower ground Net
losses for active futures contracts on
the New York Cotton Exchange ranged
from 65 cents to SEQ a bale.
The continued weakness was ascribed
in art to increased hedge selling and
to expectations that considerable
amount of unhedged cotton might come
on the market soon. The decline was

orders

Credit
Fails 10 Halt
Business Pace
BY WALTER BREEDE. Jr.
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Busi-
ness activity set a record pace
this week despite materials
shortages. rising prices and
tight credit.
Interest focused on Detroit.
After months of slow produc-
ton in the auto factories, things
were beginning to hum again.
Virtually all the auto makers
were rolling out their 1857
models. and for some the out
pouring of rakish long sedans
and hardtops began to assume
the proportions of a flood.
Steel makers this week sched-
uled their operations at 101.7
per cent of capacity-a rate CAL
culated to result in production
of more than 2.5 million tons.
Business was humming, too, in
such varied lines as railroad
freight traffic, textiles and retail
trade.
Credit remained tight and
there was every indication it
would stay that way for as far
ahead as you could see.
While tight credit was expected
to exert a continued braking in
fluence on marginal expansion
projects. inventory speculation
and home construction, retailers
said the effect on consumer goods
purchases would be slight.

Perpetual Marks
18th Year With
.S235 Million

Today marks the 18th anniver-
Isary of the founding of Perpetual
Building Association, which was
started October 81. 1881, by a
small group of Washington citi-
Izens, most of them Government
employees.
With assets now of more than
I$235 million Perpetual is the
largest mutual savings and loan
association in the country. Sur
Iplus and reserves exceed $1S
million.
In the era of gas lights and
muddy avenues. the infant Per-
Ipetual was able to build its assets
lup to almost $4,000 in the first
Iyear of its existence.
Beginning with tiny quarters
Ia few doors from its.present big
modern Offices on E street be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth
streets NV, the association
waited only a few weeks before
advertising itself in The Star as
"a prominent institution officered
by the most experienced men in
building association circles and
in every way reliable"
Its first report of operations"
on October Is. 1888, emphasized
in the preamble that building
associations are no longer ex-
jperiments: they have become ne
icessities in every prosperous and
growing community"
Perpetual'S growth for many
years has been phenomenal and
since the war. a large new main
Office has been constructed. This
was followed by Bethesda Of
flee and ground is to be broken
soon for a modern Silver Spring
office at Georgia avenue and
Cameron Street.
Branch Offices also are oper-
ated at 1910 Good Hope road
Sc. Anacostia. and at 7118
| Marlboro pike. District Heights.
Md. since the war Perpetual
has merged the Bethesda Chevy
| Chase Building g. Loan Asso-
citation and the AnacoStia Fed
eral Savings g. Loan Associa-
ton
The original group of "the
most experienced men in build
ing association circles" has null
tiplied so that Perpetual now is
managed by scores Of officers
and staff members, including
many who are recognized ma
tionally as leaders in the savings
and loan field.
