Departure Of Pat Weaver Puzzle To TV Industry
By CHARLES MERCER
NEW YORK The departure
of Sylvester L. (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

Greyhound Head Predicts
Rail Passenger End
CHICAGO I The president
of the Greyhound Bus Corp. 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.

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."
