Salvaging UHF Television

The move Of the Federal Communications Com
mission to require that all television sets have
all-channel tuners recalls bit Of history and illus
trates forcefully how expensive it can be for the
public to relax its vigilance.
An all-channel tuner is one which will bring in
television broadcasts in the ultra-high frequency
band and the very-high frequency band. Standard
sets today will bring in one band the other, but
not both Most Of them viii bring in only VHF,
which means that the UEF stations are finding
meager audiences and slim piclxings
1t also means that the public is getting short
changed to the extent that available channels are
thus limited, to large extent to the WIFI band.
This happened because the FEC was dominated
during the days when crucial decisions were made,
by commissioners sympathetic to the viewpoint of
the big networks.
At that time, the Commission could have met
the problem of expanding the available channels by
the simple expedent of concentrating UFIF licenses
in one community Wifi in the next. This would
have forced UHF receivers in the one community,
Wifi in the next and al-channel sets in those homes
which wanted to tune into both.
The alternative was to license both WIFI and
UHF in all communities, let the UHF licensees
worry about the fact that people could not tune in
on their stations, and give the big WIFI licensees
very rich plum indeed
The commission chose to side against the public
and in favor of the big elecasters One result has
been high mortality among UHF licensees. For
practical purposes, the old commission washed this
important UFIF band Of communication down the
drain.
There is new spirit in the commission today.
The commissioners recognize the UHF band for the
important and valuable asset that it is Their sol-
ton for salvaging it is perhaps more costly than
the solution available to President Eisenhower's
commission but it seems to be the best one now
available The industry may have to absorb SUBJ
stantial amount Of the cost But after ALL the in
dustry asked for it. by helping to preclude the
satisfactory solution.

Dolly Papers On
MissisSippi Crisis

The whirlwind that Gov. Ross
Barnett invited has reaped tragedy
for Mississippi, its university, the
whole nation. Barnett, for all that
he finally backed down before fed
eral power and called upon his
people to obey the law, made re-
sistance and violence inevitable.
His defiance Of court orders, his
demagogic defenses Of what he
called "our heritage" and his nout-
ing Of the federal government
gave the racists and the fanatics
time to gather and build their
Observation-Disclosures JOURNAL.
Barnett and Mississippi cannot
be allowed to set themselves apart
from and above the United States
Of America.
Although we would profoundly
regret the use Of federal force in
Mississippi we would infinitely pre-
fer that to allowing Barnett to
ignore the law Of the land and to
defy the federal authority con-
stituted to enforce that law.

Shaking A Profit Out OF
Illness

The Blue Cross announcement Of intention to
cancel coverage on all subscribers having other
sickness insurance raises great many interesting
questions
First Of all is the point that evidently Blue
Cross being outside and beyond the control of any
regulatory agency Of the state, evidently has the
power to make a unilateral decision adversely af-
fectng-by its own estimate-1O 900 to IL 900 Min
nesota citizens 1t has long been argued that Blue
Cross should be subject to Insurance Department
regulation. This action seems to cnch the argu-
ment.
Second is the point that the action seems to be
aimed directly at competition by other companies
particularly those having group contracts with en-
ployers and unions welfare funds. Under the
contracts between Blue Cross and the hospitals
Blue Cross is favored company. There has long
been the suspicion-and some hospital admins
traitors have complained-that Blue Cross pays less
for services than the patient paying cash using
other insurance coverage. Is this new move to
cut out the competition? If so should not the state
be interested in certain monopoly characteristics of
the Blue Cross operation?
Third Is the Blue Cross concept that patients
having auxiliary policies make profit when they
sick" That is, their insurance benefits exceed
the cost of disqualification This is brutal approach
to the problem Of illness. The other costs-the loss
of time from work. the further loss of earnings dur
ing convaescence the cost of special arrangements
at home, don't count in the Blue Cross concept.
While many commercial insurance companies are
devoting much study to ways for providing compre-
hensive protection against the total cost of illness
our non-profit Blue Cross is striking out in the
opposite direction!
Finally comes the astonishing observation that
persons having multiple coverages enter the hos
pital 20 per cent more frequently and stay 10 per
cent longer-the implication being that they do SC
in order to make profit" out of their hospital
stays. This implication is a remarkable accusation
against the medical profession and the hospitals
who determine who shall be hospitalized and when
they shall be discharged.
Richard Crist, Blue Cross president who made
the announcement seems to be saying that the hos
pitals and doctors are in league with insurance
polcyhoders who seek to gain financially by mis-
using their policies If there is such a thing going

NY. TIMES.
In a sense Gov. Barnett is start
ing new states rights war. He
is leading Mississippi into SYM
bolic If not factual secession, as
South Carolina did in trying to
nullify a federal tariff in 1882.
That was followed eventually by
actual secession which, more than
the issue Of slavery, made the con-
flict against the federal union in

The Constitutional question Of
state and Federal responsibilities

differ, even though the outcome Of
that struggle was from the begin

could do, assert the supremacy Of

Nobody has treated the us. Su-
prene Court with more contempt
than Barnett since Abe Lincoln
went his lawless way in the war
years. Even Andrew Jackson fin

John L. Lewis likewise bent.
1t Is plain, as we suspected from
Barnett's first declaration, that he
meant to play out the never"

Who Was irresponsible?

Recently we commented in these columns about
the strange approach to "the Negro problem" made
by John Fischer, editor of Harpers magazine, in
recent esay in that magazine.
The burden Of Fischer's comment was that Ne
groes should adopt higher standards of behavior,
and he did seem to mean higher standards than the
whole population. He then cited numerous random
examples of backsIding, including the Of four

Focus On
Africa
BY EDDIE L. MADISON, JR.


Reports of alleged plots to
assasSinate Afric n leaders,
overthrow the regimes in pow
er, bombings or bomb threats
continued to attract great at
tention in Africa, with a new
independent state, Somalia, en-
tering the picture.
Already, a series of bombings
have hit Ghana, including one ac-
tual attempt on the life Of Presi-
dent Kwame Nkrumah. And, in Nj
geria, a plot to destroy principal
government buildings and kill sew
eral top government officials was
uncovered
In the case of Somalia, that gov
ernment's ministry of information
had charged Ethiopia Of compiled
ty in a plot to assassinate Alden
Abdullahi Osman, President of the
Somali Republic, on a proposed
visit to northern Somalia. Accord
ing to the charges, the Ethiopian
Government had organized a plot
to assassinate the Somah President
on a visit which he was to make
to Hargeissa in the near future.
It was stated that several in
dividuals, armed with grenades
and inflammatory pamphlets, sup
posedly supplied to them by the
Ethiopian Government, have been
arrested :.
The ministry of information of
the Imperial Ethiopian Govern
ment, in an official news release,
denied the charges. It stated: '"The
Imperial Ethiopian Government
repeats its earlier categorical dem
ial Of these charges and brands
them as utterly false, baseless and
without foundation" The state
ment further challenged the SOM
ALA Government to produce "the
evidence which substantiates its
charges" None exists, for the
simple reason that there has never
been any plot involving the Repub-
lie of Somalia with which Ethiopia
has been even remotely connected"
stated the release
David A. Talbot, AMP CORES
pondent in Adds Ababa, reported
a charge by Ethiopia that those
who have followed the develop
ment of relations between Ethiopia
and the Republic Of Somalia could
easily see that this is an attempt
to continue a systematic and de-
liberate program to create mis-
understandings, inflame passions
and whip up hatred between the
peoples of the two African count
ries.
This was a reference to the sti1l
unsettled border dispute between
Ethiopia and Somalia. Emperor
Halle Selassie sent a telegram to
the Somali President in which he
said: I'VE would not permit the
action charged which is contrary
to the principles Of both the Christ
ian and Moslem religions to be
taken against Head of State or
against the least of Gods Great
ures."
In Ghana, bombs have already
killed Is Ghanaians and injured
256, resulting from at least six
separate incidents since the Aug
ust 1, attempt on the presidents
life following the series Of anti
government bombings, the Ghana
government declared a state of
emergency and a dusk-to-dawn
curfew in the Accra area.
Also, professions and public
meetings were banned in the cap
ital city and Tena township Ito

News Agency release stated. Most

suming that the above items representative of
the family food budget and that the price different
ial Is representative of all food items, this would
indicate that you feed your family for about
2S less in the Twin Cities than in typical eastern
cities. Milk is not included in the Margolius survey.
For the families who give milk the place it deserves
in the food budget the differentia is probably even
greater, in view Of the enormous difference in milk
prices between here and the east
In addition, you have to add two or three per
cent to eastern prices to the sales which
prevails in most parts of the east-the tax gmmick
by which the major burden of the cost of govern
ment is shifted from the well-to-do to the most
deprived Of our citizens. This suggests that fam

be in the east
