Our latest information concern
ing investigation in the broad
canting Industry has it that the
Federal Communications Com
mission will continue where the
Keoate Committee leaves off. As
more and more of the controls
used by the industry come to
light, both the broadcasters and
the federal agency charged with
that area are pledging to mend
their ways.
(executives In broadcasting, the
networks, the package producers,
ami important station owners are
frankly worried about the whole
affair. Their fears are based on
the possibility that legislation
will be brought to bear upon the
industry that will restrict what
has been a more or less uncon
trolled business.
Most codes, by the National
Association of Broadcasters and
the VCC are simply recommenda
tions and have no actual penal
power. The entire affair may
bring about some advantage for
the broadcast Industry by re
lieving the networks of their
obligation to let the sponsor call
the tune on programming.
If the scandals result in tele
vision programming being put
back into the hands of the net
works, instead of being dictated
by the advertiser, they will mark
an important step In the evolu
tion of television, still a very
young medium.

l Francisco, was late in departing.

“L'Atalante,” a French comedy
concerning the life of the canal
barge people of northern France,
ih the second in this year’s Uni
versity film Society series, to be
shown tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the
University Theatre.
One of the firs* post-World
War I films dealing not with
universal themes but expressly
Fiance, “L'Atalante” is a product!
of aggressive Director Jean Vigo,
and it partially marks his turn
ing from “precious expcrimental
isrr.” to themes of vigor.
The University F 11 m Society
makes possible the local showing
of film masterpieces from around
the world which might otherwise
be impossible for University stu
dents to enjoy.
Objectives noted
"Our objective," says Preston
Tuttle, society director, "is to try(
and give student not only the feel
ing of remote cultures but also
of the exciting emotional and
dramatic vitality existing in
these countries. These films are
all permanent experiences."
This season’s lineup of 16 films
include masterpieces of the art
from France, Russia, Albania,
Mexico. India, Argentina, Spain,
and Greece, as well as the United
States.
The schedule is especially in
teresting this year ir. that the
films hav* been grouped in four
distinct CHtt-gorier: Adolescence
in Society, Man in Industrial So
ciety, Land and the People, and
Superstition and Legend. Included
are some of the best motion pic
tures of such artists as Chaplin.
Buuuel. Vigo, Kiscnstein, Pagnol,
and Welles.
Comprehensive coverage
According to Tuttle. "This is
our best season yet because we
nave more genuine masterpieces,
In terms of the distinguished di
rector* represented. Also, they
are more comprehensive in terms
of the coverage of different
countries."
The four themes, he says, are
“then ca of content. The group as
a whole succeeds somehow in
representing the motion picture as
an art form in ::s own right. The

Cast members include, besides
Miss St. Sure and the Travellers
Three, Diana Trevor Minor, Janet
Lee Parker, Hugh Morton, Carol
Raymond, Ann ' Stearns, Keith
Powell, Robert Stankavieh, Nor

Carl Spiegelberg, Rhea Henault
and Bill Forrester.
On a seven weeks’ tour of the
Orient, the Wonderful Towns
people will present their produc
tion, a musical (by Leonard Bern
stein i version of ”My Sister
Eileen,” in such places as Japan,
Korea. Formosa, Okinawa, The
Philippines, Guam, and Hawaii.
In addition, specialty acts have
been prepared to fill in when the
production is allowed more than
its prepared ninety minutes, and
I for special diplomatic occasions.
Birthday celebrated
On the Pacific flight, made on
Military Air Transport Service,
Director Robinson celebrated a
birthday. Cast members, mean
while, were getting their first
crack at entertaining servicemen,
in the air, and getting friendly
enough with other passengers to
mix baby formulas and act as
horses for the kids.
More reserved activities, ac
cording to Correspondent Keith
Powell, included knitting, read
ing, and playing cards.
Working together has been an
important aspect of the troupe’s
activities ever since September
rehearsals on the UT stage. The
flights necessitating the packing
of settings into 14 footlockers and
a canvas ironing board cover,
each performance here was fol
lowed by set striking, packing,
and unpacking.
Each member responsible
Each cast member has his own
specific responsibilities and tasks,
doubling up here and improvising
there. It’s easy to see why the
behind-the-scenes action had to
be thoroughly rehearsed, just as
did the actual play.
Most cast members are Univer
sity students receiving credit for
‘he tour. Expected home again in
early December, they should
show definite profit from their
seven week’s living-in-a-trunk ex
periences.
