Pay-TV Takes Step Toward
Real Test

The day of pay-television has moved little
closer with the decision of the u. S. Court of APP
peals upholding a three-year experiment at Hart
ford, Conn.,
The judgment, which affirms a ruling of the
Federal Communications Commission, probably will
be appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court. But it
appears the opponents are fighting losing battle.
Pay IV is bound to come.
We believe this will not be the great tragedy
that some predict. 1t is argued by present theater
and televison interests that their businesses will
be severely damaged by pay-TV Perhaps they will
and perhaps they won't. We recall that radio suf
fered grevous blow when television took over
the nations living rooms, but it has survived and
there are two furnishing businesses where
there was only one before
And movie theaters, while hurt by television,
also have continued in business Surely there will
always be a market for entertainment that will
take people out of their homes.
It is true that both radio and the movie indus
try have undergone changes as result of the tele
vision impact. Changes also have come to the
newspaper and magazine businesses. 1t can be
argued that all the change is not for the good that
might all be better off if there were no tele-
vision. But progress and change are inevitable in
lives, and payteevision is the next logical step
in the entertainment cycle.
At the least, those who are willing to risk
their money the Hartford experiment
titled to chance it. And if there is any benefit to be
gained by the viewing public, why should it be
denied?
The promoters of toll televison in the Con-
nectcut test promise about 40 hours week of
varied programs-without commercials. Until
start is made nobody knows whether the public
will pay for such entertainment The court says
there must be freedom to try this kind of expert
ment- we believe the court is right.

SIappy White
DiscIaims ANY
Feelings Against
Dick Gregory

NEW YORK CITY, N. Y
81 have no hard feeling for Dick

report that Gregory literally
used Slappy's entire joke rou-
tine when he made his famous
debut as a comic at Chicago's
Playboy Club. ave might as
we'll face it, that Dick Gregory's
success has helped all of us COM
les make more money"
Slappy White, considered one
of the cleanest story-tellers a.
round and known for standing
before a packed house for one
hour without even a hint of an
offensive tale, is also among the
top comedians in the nation.
"I'm not bitter because Pm
just beginning to get break at
the big money" he said. "Just
grateful that it finally hap
pened, and that l was ready to
take advantage of it. Another
thing, I'm eternally thankful
to guys like Larry Steele
(Smart Affairs producer) for
| giving me a chance to display
my tlanet before good audiences
at the Club Harlem in Atlantic
City. That kind of exposure
helps to keep a guy sharp and
on his toes"
Slappy, once a partner in the
Foxx and White comedy team
with another top comic, Red
Foxx, has a new album of jokes
recently released by Mercury
Records and called "Slappy
White at the Playboy Club. "
He's due for another national
television guest-shot on Ed Sui
livan's show.
Classic among Slappy Whites
stories is the one he tells about
how nice he was treated on his
recent trip to the South. 81 had
no trouble at ALL" he would say,

signs all over the place saying

Confidence Born
Of Unity Created
In kenya

klSumu, henya, April &, lSoI
-KBS, the Western Region
broadcast, gave the following
item on tonight's main news
bulletin. "a Striking example
of how confidence is being born
end unity created in Kenya at
this critical time was demon
strated here last night in the
Victoria Social Hall during the
Moral Re-Armament showing of
the film 'Uhuru' ('FreedomO".
"Nahashon Ngare, for five
years a detainee at the Athi
River Detention Camp, spoke
side by side with Colonial Alan
Knight, a Kenya settler who
was Commandant of that camp.
With them were Ibrahim Mali
la, Secretary of the KADU
National Youth wing and DAN
iel Magma, Executive Officer
of the KANU National Youth
wing.
"Ngare said, 4 saw in the
film Uhuru the answer to cor
| ruption, division and tribalism
and decided to translate it into
Swahili.' Relating the effect of
the film upon himself when he
first witnessed it, Nagre said,
I saw the part l had played in
exploiting my family and my
own people. l decided to change
and confidence and trust were
born while fear melted away"
Colonel Knight said that the
film had made him realize that
be must change himself if he
wished to see his country go
he right way. He said, J
realized how much of the hatred

men like me. l want to say l
am sorry for this. Now l in
vite you all to join US in build
ing a new Kenya.'
"Ibrahim Malika in relating
why he had changed, asked Can
You expect drulkard, a cheat

things and fight to correct the
evils in his country. That is
why we stand together now
His political opponent Daniel
Magma said, 4 put things
right with my parents and an

a case dishonesty He conclud-
I'd by saying it was by putting
these things right that he found
unity with Malika."

hear that would continue to
confirm my notion that 'mongst
Aine Haggar's Chillun as they

spots of Satdee, freed from the
daily chores, there are depths
of thinking and gems of wisdom
fit for the learned doctors of

being that Aine Haggar's Chill

theory treatment. Well, the

about his business and try to
get everything he could for
himself while the man with the

the man was still asleep and
took out some matches that he

around the soles of the mans
shoes and hot-footed him, and
started running and laffing,
when the man woke-up and
started searching through the
woods and watching everything
with his gun cooked on his
arm. One of the monkeys who
