(Pat) Weaver as board chairman of the National Broadcasting Co. is significant of a trend in the television industry today. Weaver, contemplating the past and the future in an interview, declined to spell out his reasons for resigning beyond his Friday statement: "My record couldn't he clearer. I leave it to the people in the industry to evaluate why 1 left." . They hare. And this is what thev see: Weaver is the most creative in telligence yet to have wielded so I-DougIqs County I 1 ELKS OLD TIMERS NITE For Old Timers with 25 years or moro membership.

Wed nesday predicted that "in 10 years, the railroads will have vir tually abandoned the business of carrying passengers." "The bus industry will be a bil lion dollar a year business more than twice its present total with in 10 years," Arthur S. Genet said in a prepared address at the an nual convention of the National Assn. of Motor Bus Operators. Ganet forecast an expanding bus route system that would increase the number of communities en tirely dependent upon buses for public transportation from 50,000 to 100,000. About VA million Americans over 65 years old get income from public social security programs Bulge Around Man's Middle Curious Object DETROIT I "Nobody knew what I had under my shirt," chuckled James Jaggars, a 70-year-old one-time circus man. The bulge that made his fellow passengers on a city dus try not to stare was a seven-foot, boa con strictor, weighing 25-30 pounds. Jaggars and the . snake were found in a downtown hotel at the end of a search that had led more than eight miles from a side show at the Michigan Slate Fair. Lew Alter. 60. of Reading. Pa who runs the side show, said Jag gars had asked him for the lend of the snake Tuesday. Alter said he told Jaggars to go away, which Jaggars did. An hour later, the snake was also gone. Police found Jaggars when someone in the downtown area noticed that the bulge under his shirt was a snake. much executive power in televi sion.-A man of bold imagination he declined to confine his ideas to table talk. He committed millions of dollars to creative ideas and, more than any single individual, caused the infant industry to grow. Under his leadership NBC TV programing increased in length of time and depth of con tent and achieved its present prestige. Then why, ask people in tele vision, did he resign? Must it not be that he felt the network was unwilling to continue the expan sion of his ideas? If that is true, and most people feel it is true, it means that NBC as well as CBS, the other largest network, is concerned by spiraling TV pro duction costs. It means that the biggest net works are minding their financial meat and potatoes for a time. And that, in turn, means that the view ing public's home screen will not be greatly widened in the next year or two. This season's pro graining plans tend to support that theory. NBC has had many executive purges in recent years, but it's generally agreed in the indust.-y that Weaver is too big a figure to be purged. He must have re signed voluntarily over matter ot policy. Weaver is not through with tele vision, however. Stretched out comfortably in his Sands Point, Long Island, home, he said, "I'm trying to take the time to dope out how the medium should de velop the interests of the public." His important role and vital per sonality always have attracted ru mors as a mountain attracts clouds. Here are three rotating currently on the Madison Avenue Rockerfcller Plaza axis: 1.- That Weaver will take a post with British commerical television. "I have not been approached by the British," he said. "I can't say I wouldn't take it up. But I'm an American and I went through the entire early days of radio and television. And I have an under standing of the needs of the agency as well as the network. It' some times overlooked that I've been successful with advertisers and agencies as well as writers and artists." 2. That Weaver will form an agency of his own. "That's not my present inten tion," he said. "But at this point 1 am not saying I will not do any thing. This, after all, is my first chance to sit down and think." 3. That Weaver will move to CBS. "I have not been broached by CBS," he said, "and I don't ex pect to be. Under the circum stances it seems most unlikely."
