Subscription television Is q
means by which the programs that
you now must leave home and pay
to see can be received In your
home. II can never be used TO
make you pay for that which you
get free.
Those statements have TO be
true unless we assume that you
will pay one person for a thing
that another is giving away and
unless a business can exist by
charging for those things its COM
petitors furnish free. Such as
sumptions would deny human ex-
perience and intelligence.
What win this subscription tele-
vision program fare be? It will
consist Of those visual events and
productions that you now must
leave your home. pass through q
tollgate and pay an admission
price to see. To mention q few,
these include many championship
boxing matches. home football and
baseball games. new motion pic
lures. theater and opera.
You are now forced TO leave
home and pay for these events
instead Of seeing them on your
television screen. because adver-
tisers. who are now the sole eco
nomic support Of television, find
1t uneconomic and therefore i'm
possible to supply the money nee
essary 10 deliver such programs.
Toll television viii deliver these
programs TO your home at a much
lower cost than you now incur
In seeing them away from home.
Many events and affairs that are
now beyond your convenience and
financial reach will be yours.

communication and transporta-
ton use the public domain TO re-

The companies that render tele-
phone. telegraph and transport
services use the public streets and
highways or the airways and air.
ports to render q service for which
they charge the user. Indeed. the
telephone and telegraph COM
panies frequently use these same
air waves to communicate your
messages-and they charge for
the services.
There could hardly be q prin-
ciple more contrary to American
practice. experience and concept
than one holding that all enter
prises that use the public domain
must supply their products and

the volume Of the so-called free

This result is imperative under the
circumstances that exist. which
are these: The Government has

BY SENATOR
CHARLES z. POTTER

In a recent public appearance,
was asked to clarity my position
on subscription Cor pay televi-
sion. I said this:
I'm opposed to any form Of
television that will cancel the
promissory note Of the Federal
Government, signed when it es-
tablished by law and by regula-
ton. that television would be free.
This note was made out TO the
American people, who invested
billions Of dollars In receivers on
the basis Of It,"
I nave not changed my mind.
II is important that everyone
who owns q television set UNDER
stands thoroughly the precise eff
feet Of pay television, II 1t should
be authorized. II would mean
that at certain hours Of the day
on certain channels which now
can be tuned In at will. the nom
subscriber would get a "scram-
bled" or unintelligible signal. II
he wished to receive the program
clearly. he would have TO pay-by
q coin in slot. by a charge on his
telephone bill or by some other
means.
This is like buying q refrigerator
and being required TO drop a coin
in the slot before you can open
the door and get something TO eat.
Free Fare Was Assumed
The American people bought
television sets on the assumption
that they would receive q selec-
tive assortment Of information
and entertainment. produced
through free competition. free Of

Of this church welcome all

An outstanding feature of the
crusade of Bethel church, was
the presentation April 20 of a
play, Into Thy Kingdom" which
portrayed events following the
crucifixion and resurrection of
Jesus. The play was directed by
Mrs. Elizabeth Stovall-Harshaw,
and featured an excellent cast of
characters. This play was pre-
sented at the Sunday School
hour and was enjoyed by all who
were fortunate to witness it.
AS the crusade moves success
fully on, we firmly agree with
David Livingstone in our efforts
when he said: Il will place no
value on anything l have or may
possess except in relation to the
Kingdom of Christ. If anything
l have will advance the interest
of that kingdom. it shall be CIV
en- away or kept, only as by CIV
ing or keeping it l may pro-
mote the glory of him whom l
owe all my hopes in time and
eternity"
We are greatful to L. w. Jor-
dan and Clyde Sumler for their
patient and tirelesg efforts in
our about Crusade.
