ReshuffIinq
TV Channels
By the Associated Press

Chairman John c. Doerfer Of
the Federal Communications
Commission says a general re-
shuffling of TV channel assign
ments is being considered.
He said the commission also
is weighing the possibility of
narrowing present separations
between stations so that more
stations can operate on the
VHF channels, 2 through 13.
In a year-end statement yes
terday, Mr.. Doerfer termed the
problem Of UHF telecasting
one of the commissions great
est perplexities. He noted that
almost half of the UHF (ultra
high frequency permits issued
since 1852 have been sur
rendered and more than half
Of the UHF stations which
were once in operation have
gone off the air.
Mr.. Doerfer said experience
with mixing VHF and UHF
stations in the same area has
been disappointing.
He said the TV industry lost

public as a result of revelations

Decision Delayed
On Lamb GRADING
BY the Associated Press

The Agriculture Department
has Cancelled plans to suspend
Federal grading Of lamb and
mutton January 4.
The matter is being held up
to allow Congress an oppor-
tunity to look into it, the de-
partment said yesterday, add
ing that a final decision on the
future Of this grading service
will be made not later than
February 8.
A decision to withdraw this
grading for a year was an
nounced several weeks ago.
The department said it was
taking the action because the
livestock and meat industry
had failed to agree on pro-
posed reviSions designed to i'm
prove the standards. Protests
have been made since then by
some producers, professors,

Educator Finds
Educational
Tv v'DeadIy'

An educator laShed out at
educational television stations
yesterday.
William Bluem of Ohio Wes-
leyan University charged they
are snobbish and unimaginative
and have "a public e-damned
attitude" They lack force,
energy and creative ability, he
added.
The m ajor trouble, he
claimed, is that the educational
stations have conscientiously
tried to divorce their telecasts
from mass tastes.
The result is that when the
public, tired and jaundiced"
Of the commercial programs,
switches to the educational
channel, it finds this:
THE station managers have
conScientiously scheduled a pro-
gram dealing with the painting
of Japanese silk screen prints
into that hour, knowing full
well that the public will hardly
be able to contain its dedication
and interest to this stimulating
form of learning"
Mr.. Bluem said that educa-
tional stations take one of three
basic positions about program
ming:
/. They try to stimulate those
who want to be stimulated.
2. They provide cultural
service with a capital &C." and
damned be those who don't
recognize their contributions. "
3. They offer "do-it-yoursel1
home guides and almanacs-
just like the home-hint pages
OF the women,s magazines"
He noted that "the people dc
not love educational television
They do not return to it fol-
relaxation or for entertain
ment."
Mr.. Bluem urged that prime
evening time on educational
channels not be used for sys-
tematized instruction. IT may

If commercial TV interests
are now being brought ur

He spoke at the closing event

The 10000 teen-agers who
came here for the three-day
convention at the National
Guard Armory started leaving
for home yesterday afternoon
by chartered buses, cars, spe-
cial trains and planes.
DR.. Graham closed the youth
meetings at the Armory with
a challenge to the boys and
girls to make Christ the master
of their mind, body. social life,
talents and possessions.
He himself was a pioneer
worker in the Youth for Christ
movement, an interdenomina-
tional organization formed in

about 10000 teen-agers each
