telecast to be held on Novem-
Der 20 will be the most complex
program in the history of tele-
vision, the man responsible for
the technical production de-
clared today.
There has never been any
thing like this in any kind of
television. There has never
been an array of talent and
political personalities combined
with the split-Second timing
involved in switching back and
forth across the country" said
Nathan L. Halpern, president
of Theater Network Television,
Inc, of New York.
A major portion of the tele-
cast-"An American Pageant of
the Arts"-will originate at the
National Guard Armory, where
President and Mrs. Kennedy
will participate. Other parts of
the show, to be seen in about
100 cities on closed-c circuit
network, will originate in New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and
Augusta, Ga. (where former
President and Mrs. Eisenhower
will take part.)
At a special control center
in New York, responsible for
switching the viewers from one
city to another, will be Robert
White, director of the COM
pany's program production de-
Ipartment.
MIR. White was formerly the
production supervisor for Wide
Wide World, which, at the time,
was considered the greatest
wonder of television produc-
tion," Mr.. Halpern said. But
he said this show is so much
more complex we're not even in
the same league"
Long in Planning
Planning for the telecast be-
gan last June and technicianS
from INT made visits during
the summer to each of the
spots across country where
audiences will gather to watcl
the show.
In some places, they ran int,
unusual problems.

field, Mass, and Binghamptor
N. Y, there was no way to ge
the signal to the proper place,
Mr.. Halpern said. so A.T.&.T
is building special microwavt
towers for us. When the show
is over, the towers will be taker
down"
In Washington, they ran into
an even more difficult problem
the acoustics in the Armory
when the Armory was built
Mr.. Halpern said, they didn't
have modern acoustics in mind.
This became very apparent at
the time of the inaugural. So
we're redoing it, with BATTLE
boards on the ceilings and
walls.
Il don't recall ever seeing this
much acoustical work for a
single event. 1 don't like to
think about how much it will
cost-but I think it's important
for the people who will be there
as well as those watching in
other parts of the country"
Equipment Arriving
Although there is nearly two
weeks left before the telecast,
special equipment has begun
to arrive at the Armory and at
other points involved in the
telecaSt.
When everything has been
put in place in the last few days
before the show, there will be
about 100000 pounds of cleo
tronic equipment, including 20
television cameras. All of this
is worth about $7.5 million.

OMAHA, Neb., June 81 (AP)
The Interstate Oil Compact
Commission has adopted its
strongest oil imports resolution
in q years.
The 33-State oil and gas

asked that imports Of crude

The resolution adopted at the
final session of the compact'S
mid year meeting yesterday
said foreign Oil now is supplant.

Never before has the compact
called for a definite ratio. Pre-

that imports be reduced but
none has said domestic produc.

cult for State regulatory agen.
cies to carry on their excellent

new resolution said.
No specific ratio was recon
mended. Most opponents Of oil
imports have sought a ratio OF
about IA per cent.
Other resolutions asked Con.

Mr.. Wagner, representing
American employers at the an

months, probably not by as
much as the full one-quarter

dicted lately, but, nevertheless,
there will be a definite further

5O-FOld Increase
Once used only for emergency
shipments, air freight has tai
lored its service so carefully
that it publishes special rate
sheet for undertakers. ut col
lects a fancy premium of up
to 100 per cent for shipping
bodies in coffinsD
Air cargo volume has in
creased from las million ton
miles in 1916 to 725 million ton
miles last year. The growth rate
was nine times that of paSsen-
ger traffic in the same period.
AS a parallel development,
the all-cargo airline has come
of age, with such lines as Fly
ing Tiger, Slick, Seaboard &
western and Riddle. Even
American Express, associated
for generations with railroads
is now an air freight forwarder
for goods from Rangoon to
Khartoum.
With growth" a kind OF
mystique in the Americ a n
economy today, such statistics
have encouraged rosy forecasts
In the last Is years there have
been at least 80 formal studies
on the future of air freight
most of them bubbling with
optimism.
Still Relatively Small
But as Jack M. Slichter. vice
president of the Air Transport
Association, dryly put it a few
months ago, I'VE are like the
faded aviation observer who
has seen the day when every
family does not have its pri-
vate airplane or helicopter.
We should not look for any
D-Day breakthrough in ali
freight, or we are only going
to be disappointed again"
Air freight still accounts fol-
only a tiny fraction of l per
cent of the United States cargo
market. 1t earns less than 5 per
cent of the airline dollar
Though it carried coal cat a
fearsome price, during the
Berlin airlift, the cargo plane
will never threaten the rail-
roads in large bulk shipments
of this kind.
Because of low profit mar
gins, the airlines have been
turning increasingly to expert
mental designs for all-cargo
planes to make rates more COM
petitive with truck and rail
carriers.

Earlier expectations for higher
mortgage interest rates this
year were stymied by the slow
business recovery, the Federal
Reserve Systems easy money
policy, the hating of initiation
and a showdown in housing
starts. he said.
And, Mr.. Thomas said. "a

Sheer SpIendor
With Fragrance
BY MRS. HERBERT H. GREGER

The silver lined leaves Of the
large magnolia macrophilla
have always been a choice pos
session of flower arrangers.
Usually gathered after autumn
winds loosen them from their
branches, the tobacco brown
leaves are priceless treasures
for dried bouquets.
If you possess this decidious
magnolia, or if you know Of a
nursery which would cut you a
branch, now is the time to do
something about it. Naturally,
all trees produce blossoms dur
ing their annual cycle, but this
magnolia produces sheer splen-
dor with an added measure of
fragrance. The large flowers
are magnificent, waxy and so
exquisitely shaped that one
should take time out to medi-
tate on form, line and sub
stance. From the start, the
form of the tight bud and the
half-open flower promises a
miracle of beauty. The wide
open flower with its fabulous
focus of maroon color around
golden powder Stamens, full
fills this anticipation.
To adorn your home with
such exceptional dramatic
beauty, you need but one or two
boughs of this magnolia. You
must find the largest containeI
possible to hold, conveniently

in the spring or fall, and in
most cases does not reach maxi
mum effectiveness for two or
three years.
Fighting the Japanese beetles
on roses is something of a chore
since the beetles fly into the
blooms as they open. thus escap-
ing the protective coating on
the foliage. The usual control
is to dust the insides of each
bloom as the flowers open, or to
cut the roses in bud and let
them open indoors.
Protecting of foliage is best
done with one of the long
lasting materials such as DOT,
methoxychlor, SEWN, etc. Even
with these there is the problem
OF keeping the materials on the
foliage and a "sticker" might
well be added. There are sew

the corn. The DOT will also
help to control the corn ear
worm and other insects that
attack the developing ears.
Since these materials do not
reach the ear they are safe to
use. If the husks have been
opened it is not good practice
to spray or dust with any ma
terial that is long-lasting or
has toxic properties. However,
in most cases such materials
are not needed once the silk has
begun to turn brown-polleni-
cation has taken place so there
is no point in spraying either
the silk or the taSsel. And, the
corn ear worm has Matched and
been killed or is inside of the
huSkS and cannot be reached
with spray or dust.

Quick-Shode Trees
For Kitchen Doors

the thornless honey locusts,
the silver and red naples, etc.
Temporary Use
We cannot rule out these
fast growers as suppiers of
quick shade but rather we
should consider how best to take
advantage of their rapid
growth.
One way that has been tried
out and found satisfactory by
this writer is to plant the per-
manent trees at the proper 10
cations and then plant one or
more of these fast growers
nearby. The Chinese elm was
planted with pin oaks on either
side. The Chinese elm really
shot-up" and provided the
shade needed for several years
before the pin oaks attained
any appreciate size. In fact
the elms were such rampant
growers that they slowed down
the growth Of the oaks. How
ever, in time the elmS began to
lose limbs and to suffer from
leaf injury by the elm leaf
beetle, and were no longer de-
sirable, hence were removed.
This practice might well be
tried with some of the other
less desirable trees in case the
first three mentioned-London
plane, Amur corktree and the
Empress tree were not consid-
cred suitable.
Good Care Necessary
Regardless Of which tree or
trees are decided upon 1t is i'm
portant that they be given the
best Of care from nursery to

enough to encourage strong

To Control Shape

When evergreens such as the
spreading Japanese yew and the
Pfitzer jumpers are used in
paintings around the house
in foundation paintings near
doorways and under windows
it is wise to keep them from
getting too tall or too wide.
Pruning can be done now or
in the early part of July BY this
time the new growth is well out
and is easily seen. The new
shoots should be cut back a
third or a half, depending on
the size and age of the plant.
