School Notes
What Effect Is Television
: To Have on the Movies?
I New York U- Hollywood has the jitters. Producer Stan Kra
oer said today, because "Television is a snowball rolling down
the hill and Hollywood is the playhouse that it's going to hit."
Kramer has the eye of the In
dustry right now because of
eouDle of slick ones he put over
He's 35, alert, friendly and calls
himself "flexible," which he
says is what it's going to take
to survive the rough and tumble
competition ahead in the movie
Industry.
What effect Is television go
ing to have on movies?
"There are a lot of big shots
who are trying to ignore it, hop
ing that will stamp It out. But
television is here to stay.
"It represents biggest chal
lenge to the industry and the
greatest spur to production since
sound put the old silent film to
quick death," Kramer said.
"The basic thing is that tele
vision is going to need material.
The motion picture industry
eventually will produce 90 per
cent of that. But they won't be
multl - million dollar epics.
There's no way you can pay for
these things, even if you put a
coin-meter on every television
aet in the country and charge 50
cents a night to operate it."
Now comes the problem, Kra
mer said. Major studios, with
their complex setups have an
overhead of "30 to 40 per cent
on every film."
The small Independents who
don't have the overhead can't
get the financial backing be
cause of the present scare
throughout the Industry.
"So the industry does have
the Jittera. The big mogul Is
scared. But so Is the little man
because he finds it difficult to
get capital to stay In the race."
So what are the results going
to be?
"It's going to be healthy when
it's all over. In order to keep
the regular motion picture
house audience, and reclaim a
lot of those who have been lost
because of bad pictures, we're
going to have to start giving
some good entertainment. It s
got to be something more than
a lush musical with a boy and
a girl."
That means, Kramer said, that
the industry is going to have to
ignore a lot of box office taboos
and pressure groups and "make
pictures about things people are
talking about."
That is where the quick oper
ator comes in.
A good thing comes along.
and every producer tries to be
the first out with a picture on
that theme.
Kramer is exultant about
producing a picture and keeping
it a complete secret until it was
released. Called "Home of the
Brave." it deals with the Negro
question.

F. A. Harness
Speaks Here
The federal government's1
propaganda methods In behalf
of administration-blessed pro
grams will be aired by a former
Indiana congressman at 8 p. m
Wednesday, April 27, in the
Salem Chamber of Commerce
auditorium.
Forest A. Harness, who served
10 years in congress before re
tiring after the 80th session, will
speak on "Federal Thought Con
trol" under sponsorship of the
Salem Junior Chamber of Com
merce. During the 80th congress.
Harness made a careful Investi
gation of the government's prop
aganda machine as chairman of
a congressional sub-committee
on government publicity and
propaganda. The committee s
findings stirred a nationwide
controversy.
In a recent Readers Digest
article, Harness wrote that In
the course of its investigation
the committee came across
"startling evidence of attempts
by federal officials to make big
government bigger and to ex
tend, by another vast grant of
power, the authority of the state
over the lives of all of us."
The committee's reports, ac
cording to the article, reveal
that government propaganda
experts spend many thousands
of dollars on domestic and in
ternational travel, seeking in
formation to bolster the admin
istration programs in the public
eye. Unfavorable information
is ignored by these experts, he
said.

HOW MANY COAST
JOBS WERE BORN
Pacific Telephone's construction program
has made work for countless thousands and
added to the West's postwar prosperity
E"""dlt..
.?lT.kt!iVMMaaaaailM
1. When you aee telephone cable on its way to work,
you're watching the West benefit in two important wave.
It means new voice highway! for the Weet . . . more tele
phones.. .better service. It also means jobs and paychecks
for the men who make the cable, those who install it and,
later on, those who maintain it. And putting in new cable
is just a small part of our building program.
2. Hundreds of new building mean work for carpen
ters, bricklayers and work for those who provide the ma
terials. They mean future jobs for telephone people. Since
the war, we've put half a billion dollars to work in new con
struction. Much of it has found its way in ever-widening
circles into the economy of practically every city and town
in the West.
4. It all adds up this tremendous build
ing program to a better West for all of us
and better telephone service. You can help
yourself to the best possible service, too.
Such things as making sure of the right
number before you call and giving the
called party plenty of time to answer help
make your telephone better servant for
you.
8. Mora business for the baker, the druggist, the
clothier telephone construction has given the West a big
postwar lift. There's no way, of course, to trace all the
jobs created by just one mile of cable ... or one building.
But it would probably be hard to find family whose in
come has not benefited, in some way, from th money
we've spent to provide more service.
