FCC's BARLEY
WINS HI-FI
IN DRAWING
Federal Communications

Federal Communications
Commissioner Robert T.
BARLEY won a stereophonic
high fidelity radio-record
player combination yester-
day in a drawing held by
a trade journal at the con-
vention of the National
Association of Broadcasters.
His name was announced
by Radio -Television Daily
which conducted such a
drawing each day during
the convention. The names
came from a list Of those
who called during the day
at the publications hospi-
tality suite.
Mr.. BARLEY said he had
received telegraphic notice
about the prize and said,
Il don't think this presents
any problem. Anyone could
have won 1t, and I am told
the drawing was completely

that one Of the big advances in
the 196os would be the use Of
space satellites for3 handling
global television.
Mr.. Felker said eventually q
worldwide television broadcast
ing system would be created in
which 80 to so satellites would
be placed in orbit around the
equator.
BY placing them in this posi-
ton at q height Of $4,000 miles
they would circle the globe al
the same relative speed as the
earth's rotation, and provide
an illusion Of hanging motion
less.
A string Of such satellites
could encompass the earth''
surface.
From this could develop q
complete system Of intercon.
tinental television, he said.

FEC Chief Minow Lets
V Industry Fire Back

colleagues wants to censor pro-
grams. But I feel we do evade
the right of free speech in re-
viewing program material han
died by the stations"
This was a reference to the
periodic reports required by
the FEC from all outlets or
what a composite week" o1
broadcasting includes.
Mr.. Minow asserted:
There will never be any
censorship by FEC. But there
are only so many frequencieS
available for broadcasting anc
someone has to figure out who
is the most responsible among
the many who want to broad
cast. We have to see that you
are responsible. And that's moi
censorship"
Evening star., 1961-05-11

Eliot Ness and his Feds
couldn't have stirred up more
interest among television ex-
ecutives than the appearance of
FEC Chairman Newton r. Min
ow and his own brand of un-.
touchables yesterday.
The Federal Communications
Commission boss had slapped
the television industry hard In
a speech the day before. and
now he was letting the National
Association of Broadcasters take
shots at him and his men.
The scheduled panel discus
sion between the FCC-which
Mr.. MinoW called the seven un-
touchables-and the industry
was the talk Of the convention.
Some executives probably ex-
pected a real showdown be-
tween the forces of television
and that of the regulator
agency. Network executives, ad-
vertising leaders and station
owners were among the 1000
who filled the hall at the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel.
The broadcasters showed
their feelings toward Mr.
Minow by keeping their ap-
plause to an absolute minimum
when he was introduced. Even
this prompted the moderator
to say That was pretty good
after yesterday"
The toughest volley thrown
by the audience was a question
asking whether the FEC had
been studying the First Amend
-ment lately. This was a veiled
reference to fears that the FEC
might try to censor programs.
Mr.. Minow and his men tried
to make it clear that they
weren't out to censor anybody,
but like all Feds, they just
wanted to make sure the IL
censees whom they police live
up to the letter Of their public
interest" obligations.
Some commission members
said they feel the answer to
abuses" in broadcaSting can
be found in obedience to the
NAB codes Of good practice,
and Commissioner Rosel H.
Hyde asserted, This is not
Government censorship"
There was some partial dis
sent from Commissioner T. A.
M. Craven, who said:
| Il agree that none Of my

He spoke at the closing
luncheon session of the 18th
annual Broadcasting Engineer
ing Conference which is being
held simultaneously with the
National Association of Broad
casters seth annual convention
at the Shoreham and Sheraton
Park hotels.
DR.. Teller said he spoke not
as a scientist but as a customer,
and he asked the broadcasting
industry If it was doing its share
in educating the public.
Your whole industry is based
on technical accomplishments
but what does it give back to
technical education? You know
the answer as we'll as Very
little" he said.
Hits Education Vacuum
He decried the, fact that the
industry was not trying to
produce more programs Of an
educational - especially scien-
tific - nature.
All that is necessary, he said
is q person, a blackboard, an
experiment - and you can
transmit simply to a mass
audience. But you are not doing
it, he said.
I'VE live in a chronological
age" DR.. Teller said, where
decade by decade our way Of
life. our safety and comfort is
closely connected with techno-
logical change"

Cuban airliner landed at King
ston, Jamaica to refuel. Out
stepped IS Communists, in
cluding two women, who said
they had departed from Recife,
Brazil, for Havana.
They made no bones about
the fact that they were going
to Havana to learn how Fidel
Castro carried Cuba into the
Soviet orbit.
There are reports that Cuban
airliners are flying around the
Caribbean picking up Commu-
nits and deposting them in
Havana.
At a post-Cuban invasion
background briefing, a high
Pentagon official said the
United States could expect more
revolutions and more Castros
south of the border.
Other reflections in the in
vasion aftermath:
Did the Castro forces have
Russian-built MIG fighters
aloft during the fighting? AS
sorted communicates from the
anti-Castro groups made that
assertion. But the best radar
the Navy owns, including ship
board and airborne, has yet to
detect the presence of high per-
formance jet aircraft in Cuba.
The Cubans do have American
built jet trainers. but they are
incapable Of supersonic flight.
During the invasion and for
some time thereafter, the United
States Navy had Navy ships
and aircraft in the Cuban area.
Their presence was described
by the Navy as routine. They
had nothing to do with
the Cuban danger, the Navy
said.
Though a plane from the
super carrier independence had
landed at Guantanamo to pick
up film for shipboard movies,
the Navy consistently denied
the Independence was any,
where about. They did. that is,
until the seagoing airfield
rammed an ammunition ship,
the USS Diamond Head. The
Diamond Head brought her
sad story to Guantanamo.
Pipeline to Castro
There are roughly 5000.
Cubans working on the base
and some of them make a
pretty good pipeline to Castro.
Further, any time the Iron
Curtain countries want q good
look at whatever portion of the
United States Fleet happens to
oe in Guantanamo. all they
have to do is send a ship in.
The naval base is built
around the outer bay of Guam
tanamo. There is a Cuban con-
trolled inner bay and access to
this bay by ships of any nation
is guaranteed BY treaty.
In the last month or two, a
couple Of Iron Curtain cargo
ships have sailed right down
the middle Of the Guantanamo
harbor.

By JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

Although postal and Federal
employe union leaders usually
have tried to disassociate pay
raises from postal rate in
creases, the two sometimes
have way Of tying together.
During current House Civil
Service Committee hearings on
postal rate increase legislation,
Postmaster General Day was
asked by Representative Cum
ningham, Republican Of Ne
braska, whether further pos
sible increases in employe SAL
aries would require increases
in postal rates. Mr.. Day an
swered in the affirmative.
Thus. any future salary in
crease of postal as well as clas-
sified employees may well de-
pend on whether a postal rate
increase is enacted. Classified
employees are involved because
every time Congress raises
postal pay, it also increases
classified pay.
Federal 'and postal employe
leaders. of course, have no hope
otsany pay raise this year. But
they are looking to next year
AS for postal rate increases, the
odds are against it this year
but it may come about next
year.
.BILLS-Here are some Gov
ernment employe bills that have
been introduced recently.
II. R.-6550, Representative
Weis, Republican of New York

workers to work as much

Pay Raises Again Being Linked
To Increases in Postal Rates

between 1880 and 1890 unless
added financing is secured.
The bill sponsored by Chair
man Johnston of the Senate
Civil Service Committee would
strengthen the system finan-
cially two ways. First. it would
increase the rate of interest
that the retirement system re-
ceives from its investment from
Treasury bonds. At present the
interest rate is 2.6 per cent.
The Johnston bill would set the
interest rate on the basis Of in
terest paid on three-year
Treasury maturity rates.
Secondly. it would provide
for automatic appropriations
from Congress whenever the
amount of money in the re-
tirement money drops to an
amount less than the total en-
Iploye contributions. Thus, the
amount of money in the fund
would always be at least as
much as the money that the
employees have contributed to
lit. In addition, of course, the
present system of employees
contributing 61a per cent OF
their salary. with a matching
amount from the Government,
would continue.
Senator Holland, Democrat
Of Florida, has sponsored
somewhat similar bill. How
ever, Senator Hollands bill
would provide a greater enter
est yield to the fund on its
Treasury investments, giving II
the higher interest rate from
long-term investments that the
Treasury gives others who buy
