Both were of this generation and
heroes of action in World War
II. Both exploded upon their
political arenas mainly because
their personalities and potentials
were too great to be ignored. Both
were tireless fighters for what
they believed in. Both gave their
lives to their countries in violent
circumstances that left those who
remained behind with one word
on their lips, "Why?"
History will record the part
their services played in making
this country what it will be in

Soviet television is still cropping
for adequate forms of expression.
The frame and the lines, how
ever, are quite different.
One Of the basic differences Is
the time element. In Soviet TV
station time Is not the precious
commodity 1t Is in the United
States. To begin with, there are
only two channels in operation
"a third channel Is projected by
1865. During daylight hours both
channels are off the air most of
the time, except Channel which
has half-hou morning programs
for children three times q week.
The regular program on Channel
/ begins at $40 pm. on week
days, noon on Sundays. Channel
2 seldom lights up before Z pm.
Both channels usually close by
II pm. or shortly thereafter.
Even during the hours Of tele-
casting the schedule is far from
tight. One irate listener wrote in
to the studio: Cant you think
of anything to fill those long
and tiresome gaps between num-
bers, when the announcer turns
to the audience with the stock
phrase: You will now listen to
music ?"
Restrained Commercials
Sometimes the music Is omit
ted. The announcer simply steps
out of camera range and the
audience is left to contemplate
the folds of a background stage
curtain (the most familiar prop
in the Moscow TV studio) or a
panoramic view of the Kremlin.
Soviet television doesn't have to
worry about losing its audience
to q rival network during such
pauseS. There are no Russian
Hooperatings and the viewer has
nowhere to turn short Of turn
ing off the set entirely.
As to program content -. a
Soviet critic described in Literary
Gazetteer recently how he and
a friend frittered away an eve
ming, twirling the dial of his set
from Channel l to Channel 2
and back again, until finally, in

selves another drink. At the

Soviet TV Expanding but the Trouble Is Dull Programs

the equivalent Of $4,000, know
ing the Television Center couldn't
pay 1t.
The trouble is that Soviet TV,
unlike the movies and the legit-
innate stage, has no direct earn
ings Of its own. Though each
private set owner pays an an
nual registration fee equivalent
to $12. this money goes directly
into the state treasury and has
no bearing on the sums allocated
to finance television. Govern
ment owned and operated, Soviet
TV has no sponsors. Advertis-
ing time Is in theory available
on either channel for the modest
equivalent Of $3.50 per minute.
But not all advertising is ac-
cepted. A request by the Ameri-
can Embassy for time to plug
the United States Governments
Russian language magazine
America was turned down. What
consumer goods advertising there
is lacks the flair of Madison
Avenue. A deadpan announcer
simply advises his listeners, with
out any warmth or conviction:
Eat Siberian dumplings," "Try
canned mackerel," Drink tea, it's
tasty and refreshing" Ride in
taxicabs, the most convenient
form Of transportation" Tobacco
plugs of all kinds are strictly
taboo. The only references to
smoking on Soviet TV are lectures
on its harmful effects.
Whot's the Point?
Soviet officials do not deny the
advertising is lackluster. But they
see no point in Frightening it
up. why" a Moscow TV execu-
tive remarked to me with dis
arming frankneSS, should we de-
hberately encourage the demand
for consumer goods as long as
so many items are in short
supply? We should only compli-
cate matters by advertising Volga
or MoSkvich cars, refrigerators
and various other durable goods
for which there is a long waiting
list"
This approach is bound to be
discarded as goods become more
plentiful; already Soviet planners
are advocating consumer research
to bring production in line with
the public's tastes and require
ments. They are also calling for
more attention to merchandising

wolves with programs direct from

Worlds ToIIest Structure
By far the most spectacular
project planned for Soviet tele-
vision is the new Moscow TV
Center, to consist of reinforced
concrete tower 1,700 feet high,
which is to be the tallest struc-
ture in the world with offices and
massive base. At the 1900 foot
level panoramic restaurant
will seat 900 customers. After
several years Of discussion and
several shifts Of the proposed site,
ground was broken last Septem-
Der. Present schedules call for
completion Of the tower by 1867,
in time for the 50th anniversary
of the October Revolution. But
many Muscovites, who recall how
the Palace of Soviets was planned
as the highest building in the
world, will believe the TV tower
when they see it.
The enormous tasks involved
in expanding the physical plant
of Soviet TV are easier solved
than the less tangible but more
crucial questions of improving the
programs and finding the most
effective uses for the medium
within the complex and cumber-
some Soviet propaganda machine.

Things Change

We believe that according to
our desire we are able to change
the things round about us, We
believe this because otherwise we
can see no favorable solution. We
forget the solution that generally
comes to pass and Is also favor
able: we do not succeed in chang.
ing things according to our desire,
but gradually our desire changes.
The situation we hoped to change
because it was intolerable becomes
unimportant. We have not man
aged to Surmount the obstacle, as
we were absolutely determined to
do, but life has taken us round

Special To The Star

MOSCOW.-Though 1t got off
to a later start, television in the
Soviet Russia looms as large to-
day in the scheme Of things as
it does in America.
Soviet TV audience numbers
around 80 million, and every day
brings an estimated 30 thousand
recruits-two and one half times
the rate of population increase.
The number Of Tv sets in the
USSR has rocketed from 4
million at the end Of 1859 to
more than IL million in 1868.
In 1862 some % million sets
were produced-and sold. This
years figure is expected to run
considerably higher. Prices range
from the equivalent Of $240 for
the cheapest model to about
$500 for console type with built
in radio. record player and tape
recorder.
More than 200 relay transmit
tiers now bring television within
range of almost all the European
territory of the USSR, and as
far as Sverdlovsk, just beyond
the Urals. Most Of the main cities
are linked with Moscow by CO.
axial cable. Currently the Soviet
Union exchanges telecasts with
% countries-by far the main
volume being with the East Euro
pean countries, members Of the

The critic avowed he was all for
chronological progress, but such
specialized telecasts told the lay
man nothing. The trouble was,
he said, that TV program direc-
tors In streSsing the educational
functions Of the medium lost
sight of the simple fact that
most of their audience simply
wanted to relax and be enter
tanned.
Even the entertainment is
sometimes dull and mediocre.

that by now most Of the viewers

ness: DO you work here in this

do" There followed a long pause.
Apparently the reporter had for
gotten his next question. So he
merely repeated: $50 you do work
in this plant?" This drew the
reply: "Of course we do" End

Movies on Soviet Screens
AS a rule Soviet feature films
cannot be shown on TV until
they have completed their first

opposed by the entire motion

that conflicts Of interest be-

economy as they do under capt.

older films, including EisenStein's

Very likely the Prime Minister

little so far to initiate change. He
is firm in a resolve to resist Com
