The Vests Monster

The fact is that Russia and China
have disable military power, capable
Of intervening in revolutionary
situations" and the West has not.
The Western democracieS, led by
the United States. have created a
Frankenstein monster as terrifying
to themselves as to their potential
enemies.
1t will be argued that present
policies. foreign and military, have
maintained peace and prevented a
major war.
What peace? We have a series
of patchwork, precarious "truces"
and no solutions to even the minor
problems causing local frictions,
any one of which could flare TO a
major crisis with little warning.
What major war? Why should
Russia consider the risks of final
showdown at arms, when her pres
ent tactics are proving SO success
full?
The strategic policy OF overreli-
ance upon weapons Of mass de-
struction is a proven failure politici-
cally. For the pressure Of the
threat Of atomic and thermo-
nuclear war falls more painfully
upon allies and potential allies
than upon Russia.
1t is safe to predict that the
policy of over-reliance on thermo-
nuclear and atomic weapons will
also prove a failure militarily.
What fallacious premises have
brought the Free World to this
unpleasant brink?
The basic false premise, is that
the Free World cannot compete
with the Communist masses OF
primitive manpower. and 1t there

situation. Thus, the party's press
organ, NepszGbGdSdg, has COM
planned on several recent occasions
that Communists were being fred

Peasants are fighting back with
the time-honored stratagem of re-

they are expelling Communist

The director Of agriculture in one
rural district shrugged his shoulders
at Communist complaints Of their
treatment at the hands Of the peas

argued. Its impossible to suppress

Schools Still the Center
But schools and universities con-
tinue to be the heart of opposition

BY HARRY MACARTHUR

Subscription television at long
last has been given another nudge
toward the trial its proponents
have been begging for years. The
Federal Communications Commits
sion, after years of regarding fee
TV as a live grenade with the pin
pulled, seems now to look on it as
merely a red-hot potato.
The commission has decided that
1t has the power to authorize such
a service and that subscription
television deserves a test. It has
invited members Of the TV industry
and others interested to submit
suggestions before July on where,
when and how, the test should be
conducted. After that it may hold
some hearings.
This seems to have spurred a
great many into making public
their views, whether or not thsy
have told the FEC about them.
Recent moves in this fee-TV skir-
mish have been almost too numer-
Gus to count. Among the more
important are these:
. The Hollywood AFL Film Coun-
cil-representing the movie capitals
entire production force-passed a
resolution calling for FEC authori-
cation of the public tests.
. Senator Thurmond, a member
of the Senate Commerce Committee,
introduced bill aimed at banning
pay television systems. He declared
that their use generally would be
the same as having Congress i'm
pose a new tax on the people o.
this country" (This is not a new
argument. The Christian Science
Monitor took cognizance of it more
than q year ago by noting that this
SIS a rather figurative, not to say
strained, use of the word tax Ordi-
narily tax is something the payer
has no choice about paying.")
. The Joint Commission on Toll
Television, representing motion pic
ture exhibitors, Joined the National
Association of Broadcasters in a
plea to the FEC. Both fear the FEC,
in requesting information about
the proposed tests. may hear only
from those interested in making the
tests. Please. they have asked, lend
an ear also to those opposed to the
whole idea.
. Fee-TV was disclosed as part
Of the bait used in the attempt to
lure the New York Giants and the
Brooklyn Dodgers to the West Coast.
A Dodgers gift to Los Angeles would
include toll-TV pact under which
game telecasts would be piped into
subscribers homes by cable. This
points up split between supporters
Of pay-to-see television-the by
wire and by-wireless factions. 1t is
the fear of the latter that the
FEC might decide that fee-TV by
cable could serve the purpose, so no
television channels would need to
be set aside for the over-the-air
brand.
One Bosie Question
For all the noise, there is much
less to the debate over ''tollvision"
than meets the eye and ear. There
is but one question to be answered.
the same one that must be an
swered before the FEC grants any
radio or television station IL
cense: Is the promised service in
the public interest. convenience
and necessity?
But confusion is borne on the din
Of private axes being ground. The

games. Eventually, they say, be-
cause fee-TV will be able to bid
higher for talent. you will have to
pay for all television programs.
This is a double-pronged warm
ing and the pay-as-you-go set has
two answers. The first is that sports
promoters presidents Of big-name
football universities and major
league baseball teams included) are
more interested in making a buck
than reputation for philanthropy,
That electronic Cyclops in the living
room is not One-Eye Connolly.
Ownership of a television set does
not give you the right to sneak
under anybody's tent.
AS for fee-TV replacing all Of
free" TV Gas Senator Thurmond
among others fears), succinct
answer to that was provided a few
years ago by a highly successful
producer Of half hour telefilms. The
subject Of pay-TV came up as he
was being interviewed on a Holly
wood sound stage.
"Oh. don't think anybody would
pay Is cents to see one Of our
shows" he said firmly and dropped
the matter right there.
Subscription television supporters
declare that they do not want to
take over all of televiSion. What
they are offering. they say. is not
replacement Of the present system
but supplementary service to pro-
vide something you are not now get
ting Comdr. Eugene F. Mcdonald,
president of Zenith, once told the
writer that he did not regard
Phonevision as anything but this
supplementary service. He views it
as transportation" the means by
which a show is put on the road and
brought to audiences all over the
country.
Is Test Proper?
One perplexing question is raised
by the proposal of fee-TV test.
Should the Government, some have
asked, expect a group Of private
business concerns to spend millions
of dollars seeking an answer Fed
eral commission is charged with
providing? After the money is
spent, can the Government say,
sorry. fellows, it won't work."
If the supporters of pay televi-
sion are not the ones asking these
questions. it is because they are
supremacy confident Of the results.
Phonevision, after all, was tested as
long ago at 1851 when 800 Chicago
families had an opportunity to
watch programs on any one Of four
TV stations or pay to see fairly
new but not first run movie via
Phonevision.
The figures were interesting,
though the novelty of the test may
have weighted them bit. The
rate Of 'movie-going" at home, for
instance, was more than three times
that of the national average of
movie going at theaters. Each fam
lily participating voted in favor Of
continuing the fee-TV service as a
supplement to the regular CONNER
cially sponsored television fare.
Each family believed that the FEC
should authorize the service. A
survey of the test families four
years later showed So per cent Of
those reporting still in favor.
Nobody says this is conclusive.
But lot of people think it is in
dicative. A lot of people also think
that fair test of subscription tele-
vision would be provided by the free
enterprise system. II it is not in
the public interest, convenience and
necessity. its hackers bookkeepers
will give them the news soon
enough.

edly because mammoth financial
stakes are involved.
The leading proponents of fee-TV
were and are the Zenith Radio

tures) and Skiatron-Tv with its
Subscriber Vision. Each has its own
method of putting a box Office in
the living room.
Each system employees "scram-
bled" signal, which makes a tele-
vision set look and sound as if out
of order until a DECIDING device
attached to it is activated. This
can be done by several methods
for example. by dropping coins in
box or inserting a purchased
punched ticket in a slot. Zenith

tenn. since developed into a group
Of systems. called Phonevision. This
originally sent the scrambled sig
nal by air from a T'V station, the
unscrambling signal by telephone
lines. It has since been adapted
so that the unscrambling can be
done by the viewer. who sets the
dials on an "air code translator"
attached to the set. He could buy
the dial-setting information by
mail, phone, or from a vending
machine. Phonevision also can use
the coin box or Observation-Disclosures

The Opposing Sides
The proponents of subscription
television promise much-first-run
Hollywood movies, Broadway plays
and musicals, major sporting events.
etc.-viewed at home uninterrupted
by commercials. They also declare
that the profits from this operation
could be used to finance better tele-
vision service in education and in
programs for special groups now
ignored by commercial free" tele-
vision.
They declare that advertisers
never could afford to pay the high
cost of televiSion service which in
performance came close to match
ing the mediums vast potential.
The record-of switches from single
to multiple sponsorship and dis
appearing expensive shows-seems
to bear them out.
The opponents of fee-TV coun-
terattack obliquely. No one, they
declare, has the right to use one of
your television channels for a pro-
gram that can be seen only by
those who pay for it. Some re-
gard this as a fine point, contend
ing that your televiSion channels
are being misused, as far as you are
concerned. every time you want to
watch TV and can't find a program

ponents, pay-see video is narrow

"Narrowcasting," of course. has
been with us for years-police. fire
and ambulance calls, armed services
communications. commercial air.
line communications. ship-to-
shore telephone, automotive tele-
phone and SO on and on. Again it
seems to come back to one question:
Is the projected service in the pub
lie interest. convenience and neces-
Sity?
Would II End Free TV?
Opponents Of subscription tele-
vision sound another warning and
nobody denies that it merits atten-
ton. Let such a service get a foot
hold. they say. and it will mark the
beginning Of the end for free" T'V.

Night Course In
Safe Boating


d. F. Quillen, Commander of
Flotilla No u, Division No. l of
District No. (SA), U. S. Coast
Guard Auxiliary, has arranged for
a free one night course in safe
boating to be held this Friday
night, June 28, at p. m. in the
Rehoboth High School
This special training course for
handling motorized craft starts OFF
National Safe Boating Week of the

ing officer of Flotilla No. II, Col
onel John r. Ruckman of RehO-
both Beach, will be the instructor.
This year for the first time the
National Coast Guard Auxiliary
is sponsoring this special week of
observances to focus attention on
the growing need to know and OBJ
serve basic safe-bOating rules, as
more and more families take to
the water on week-ends, holidays,
and vacations, especially in this
coastal resort area.
Commander Quillen says: I'VE
urge every boater in the area to
take advantage of the important
services being offered during Safe
Boating Week By having your
boats inspected by the auxiliary
and attending the one-lesson course
this Friday night you will be do
ing your part to maintain boat
ing's outstanding safety record and
insuring a safe boating season for
yourself, your family and friends.
Let's help keep Americas water
ways safe and enjoyable as boat
ing has become the favorite fam
iy recreation"
Commander Quillen estimates
that in 1857 some 30,O0O,000 Amer
leans will take to the water in six
million pleasure boats of every
description, for relaxation and
recreation. 1.-THE tr m d @ s
growth in popularity of boating
in this coastal area is reflected in
the vastly increased number of
boats plying in the waters of near
by lakes, bays, ocean and streams. "
