Programs aired under a pro-
posed pay TV experiment in
Hartford, Conn. would cost
subscribers from 25 cents to
perhaps as much as $3.50 each

cost rs cents to $3.50 each.
In addition, there would be
an installation charge ranging
from $3.50 to $40. And there
may be a maintenance charge
not exceeding IS cents a week.
The costs were outlined pub
licly yesterday for the first

posed three-year, $40 million
test in formal petition to the
Federal Communications Com
mission for permission to go
ahead.
RKO General. Inc. and the
Zenith Radio Corp. of Chicago

$1.50 range would include most
Glass A movies, legitimate the
atre productions, musical
events and sports programs.
They said "a very few, ex-
tremely high-cost produc-
tionS" might go as high as
$3.50. Heavyweight champion
ship prize fights were listed as
a possible $3.50 item.
No commercials would be
handled during the paid pro-

be made monthly on a system
similar to utility services.

proved any regular subscrip-
ton TV service.

The United States was le-
gally assured today of the right
to maintain military bases in
Japan for another 10 years.
But the continuing japanese
political crisis rendered uncer-
tain the future of the alliance
between the two countries.
A new security treaty binding
Tokyo and Washington in an
anti Communits partnership
became effective with unprece-
dented speed. Ratification doc
uments were exchanged form
ally in Tokyo only seven hours
after the Senate voted 90-2
yesterday afternoon to approve
the pact.
Japan completed the neces-
sary preliminaries last Satur-
day.
United States officials have
expressed confidence that the
violent opposition to the treaty
expressed in Japan commands
the support of only a minority
of the Japanese people. They
say they are sure that when
the controversy is finally re-
solved, Japan will remain firm
in its ties with the United
States.
They expect democracy in
Japan to survive the crisis.
But behind the scenes of
official Washington there is
nonethelesS considerable ap-
prehension about the course of
events in Japan during the
next few months. This anxiety
seems certain to persist until,
through new elections prom
ised by Prime Minister Kishi,
the Japanese people have made
known their attitude toward
the issues.
The treaty was brought into
force with extraordinary speed
according to a secret plan,
carefully guarded against any
advance disclosure. The State
Department said the arrange
mentS were made in advance
of President Eisenhower's de-
parture for the Far East 10
days ago.
The department disclosed
late last night that before Mr..
Eisenhower left Washington he
had signed the United States
ratification paper and it had
been properly attested by Sec
retary of State Herter.

ment and the date of Senate

For this reason, the Cover

Several legislators said today
