Color TVS GROWING Pains

Color televiSion is undergoing the
sort of growing pains that marked the
development of black-and-white TV in
its early days. 1t took a long time before
induStryS heavy investment in the first
sight-and-Sound sets began to pay off.
Costs of research and manufacture in
both the sending and receiving fields were
enormous-and buyer resistance at the
then prevailing high prices for sets was
diScouraging to manufacturers and re-
tailerS The situation today with respect
to televiSion in color is remarkably sim
liar. 1t would take braSh person, how
ever, to predict for color TV the dismal
fate enormously foreseen not so many
years ago for the colorless variety.
David Sarnoff, chairman of the Radio
Corporation of America, recalled, in a
statement on color TVS slow progress,
that when the first commercial black
and-white sets were put on the market
in the '30S the producers were called
"televisionarieS" in some quarters, and
one member of the radio industry an
nounced his belief that "televiSion is
economically so unsound that it never
WAll ouSNCCu' AOudy, dCCOIOlIlB W WI.
Sarnoff'S year-end report color TV, too,
is having its economic troubles, but he is
not dismayed. RCA, he disclosed, lost
about 500 million this past year on color
television. Instead of selling predicted
100000 color sets, the company has sold
only little over 100000 receivers. De-
velopment and manufacturing costs have
far exceeded revenues
RCA regards this investment, how
ever, as basically sound one that will
pay rich dividends eventually. The num-
Der and the quality of color shows are
increasing, week by week, with more and
more commercial sponsors entering the
field. Receiving sets have been improved
and greatly reduced in price. RCA plans
to produce 100000 sets in 1857, to double
the number of color programs broadcast
by its subsidiary, NBC, and to enlist more
sponsors. The outlook, therefore, is much
brighter for 1857 than it was this time a
year ago. And before another year rolls
by, there is good chance that the color

Now that the statistics of

an age that is desperately cry
ing for mechanical safety on
the highways.
1t is realized, of course, that
there exists a great disparity
of accommodation between the
cars that are designed today
and the roads that were built
yesterday, and that no small
measure of responsibility for
the annual slaughter rests
upon those who dilatorily en-
gineer the construction of
American highways.
But. in view of the mount

becoming aware that the trend
toward safety belts and col

resents a greedy commercial

Park Inrouds

At a recent meeting of the
Columbia Historical Society,
Cornelius w. Heine, historian
for National Capital Parks,
gave an interesting narrative
Of how Charles Carroll Glover
and other far-sighted citizens
of Washington helped to Sc
cure our park system. In re-
porting the speech, The Sum-
day Star of November 25, 1856,
told how MeSsrs. Glover,
James M. johnson. Calderon
Carlisle and Capt. Thomas w.
Symons. Engineer Corps, rode
horseback through the Rock
Creek Valley on Thanksgiving
morning in 1888 and, on a hill
overlooking the lovely wooded
landscape, pledged themselves
to work increasingly toward
making this a national park
Tor the benefit of Washing
toms residents.
After considerable opposi-
ton an act was finally signed
on September 81. 1890. by
President Benjamin Harrison
setting aside "a tract of land
perpetually dedicated as a
public park or pleasure ground
for the benefit and enjoyment
of the people of the United
States, to be known as Rock
Creek Park"
Not well known is the fact
that on July 8. 1897, U. S.

opinion to the Secretary of

Recent newspaper articles
point out the fact that the
exact date of Christ's birth is
not certain, nor is there any
agreement among the many
denominations as to an exact
date. In the past the date for
Christmas has been changed,
not once, but several times.
There is a need for a change.
Why not combine Christmas
Day and New Years Day on
the same day and get rid of
one holiday? 1t would decrease
the highway deaths for one
thing. At present, Christmas
Day on December Is is cele-
brated as a sort of appease-
ment or giving in" to the re-
ligious element. Now, why not
appeaSe the scientific element
and make New Years Day
start when it really does (for

close to midnight or 1901 am,

For the Southern Henri
sphere, the New Year would
start June %, but since the
majority of humanity occupies
the Northern Hemisphere, and
since the date for Christmas
is already off, it should not
cause too much argument to
change the date.
In ancient times, December

writers suspect the early
Christians inherited the date

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
New Near East Policy Before Congress

Democrats in Congress will
be confronted with q vital
foreign policy issue almost i'm
mediately after the congress
sional session opens. President
Eisenhower plans to ask the
Congress for authority to ex-
tend economic aid to the coun-
tries Of the Middle East, and
more important. to use the
country's armed forces to OPP
pose and to prevent Com
munist aggression in that area.
The Democratic leadership Of
the Senate and House will
have to decide-as will in
dividual Senators and Repre-
neutrality-suspicious. to make
the Presidents requests a
football of partisan politics or
be guided by the needs and
security Of the Nation.
Under the leadership Of
Senator Walter F. George Of
Georgia, chairman Of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Com
mittee in the expiring saith
Congress, the Democrats CO.
operated strongly with the
President. They went down the
line in support of a resolution
authorizing Eisenhower to use
the armed forces if the Com
munists-the Red Chinese in
particular-should attack For
mosa and the Nationalist
Chinese on that island. In
that case, the request of the
President and action by Con-
gress was a direct notice to the
Communists the United States
would go to war if aggression
occurred. No doubt was left
in their minds.
Warning to Reds and NasSer
The President is seeking, in
his request for authority to use
American armed forces in the
Communists attack in the Mid
die East. to give the Russian
Communists full notice what
to expect if they move agrees
sively into any of the Middle
Eastern nations. It should put
on notice, too. President Mas
ser of Egypt that he had bet
ter not start aggressive action
with a hope that Soviet Rus
STA will rush to his assistance.
The Eisenhower policy in the
Far East paid off. 1t was
adopted at a time when the
threat of war was not an idle
thing. Indeed, prophecies had
been made that open war
would break out within weeks
or months. Instead, there has
been peace.
The Presidents plans for as
Sistance in the Middle East and
for the use of force to prevent
a Communist coup there are
not in themselves a solution of
the problems that exist there,
particularly the conflict be-
tween Egypt and Israel and
the final arrangements for the
operation of the Suez Canal.
If carried out. however, they
can provide far better back
ground from which to tackle
these problems. There is a
promise of greater stability,
both from the economic and
the military standpoint.
The Democrats, who control
both houses of Congress, nee
essarily must not be expected
to go blindly along with the
Presidents recommendations,
whether on foreign or domes-

tic policy. II they are informed
fully. as undoubtedly they will
be. regarding the situation in
the Middle East, they will be
in position to vote for the best
interests Of the country with
out considering partisan poll
tics.
Obviously. however, to deny
the Presidents request for a
strong American position would
be almost an invitation to the
Russians to move into the
Middle East. where a vacuum
has been created by the loss of
strong influence by both the
British and the French in that
area. For that reason, the
granting Of the Eisenhower re-
quests appears inevitable. A
Democratic Congress could not
afford-for itself or for the
country-to undertake a hob
bling operation.
Needs G. Q. p. Support
The President must have, of
course. Republican support for
his Middle East proposals. In
view Of EiSenhower's sweeping
victory at the polls November
6, 1t seems unlikely Republican
Senators and Representatives
will break away from the Pres
ldent on this issue-with the
exception, perhaps, of one or
two. or three or four, who still
stick to "isolationiSm." This
issue. indeed. may give an in
dication of the Presidents In
fiuence on the legislators and
on the Republicans in particu-
lar. right at the start of the
new Congress.
The argument may be made
that the problems of the
Middle East should be left
entirely to the United Nations
and to the countries of the
area. The U. N. already is
dealing with the problem of
maintaining peace between
Egypt and Israel and of OPEN
ing up the Suez Canal. Presi-
dent Eisenhower has been re-
sponsible in large part for the
important position the U. N.
occupies today. His new move
III no measure reduces the in
f1uence of the U. N. 1t serves,
rather, as an additional in
Surance, a strengthening Of
The arm Of that peace agency.
A charge by Soviet Russia
that the United States is
seeking to become a colonial
empire by it's moves in the
Middle East will fall on deaf
earS-when the source of the
charge is considered. Russias

particular-in Eastern Europe

strated again by its brutality

Senator Kefauver of Ten
nessee, Democratic candidate

cent election. has already
shown to what lengths some
Democrats may go in hope of
partisan political gain, even in
ticklish foreign problems. He
has asked for an investigation
to determine whether Repub-
lican campaign material en-
couraged the Hungarian peo-
pie to revolt. He couldn't
have pleased Soviet Russia
more. For it claims we started

vision sets, they could see
very sharply, and maybe they
didn't have so many things
to do that they couldn't rest
a bit. now and then.
Perhaps cavemen, and cave
women, too. got fat and
stupid, and had things to
think about when they rolled
into the corner of the cave to
go to sleep.
1t is far cry from a cave
to a modern apartment or
house.
The mind of man, however,
is much the same now as then.
In fact. we have changed so
little, in fundamentals, that
war is still war and peace is
still a mirage between the
heart and soul of man. War is
big and tough, and peace is a
little thing lost in the woods.
So don't let the tossing and
turning. if you can't get to
sleep. floor you. You are al
ready floored in bed, and try
ing to forget the world and all
that. Something is wrong, that
you can't sleep like a baby,
but even babies have quite a
time of it, sometimes.
You are trying to forget war
and the threats of war, and
the cursed people who warn,
threaten and play soldiers.
Your mind goes along at a
rapid rate. refusing to let go,
so you have to do it for it.
Make a game out of tossing,
a recreation out of turning.
Use some system of counting,
not sheep, because they are
stupid. but numbers, for they
are bright, and are becoming
our gods again.
Time is mysterious, espe-
cially at night. Hold the mys-
terry in a net of numbers, and
be surprised when dawn sud-
denly catches you awake.
