Members of the radio and television businesses in sJ
lem met Monday night in the Hotel Marion to d muss
esUbhshment of uniform prices for installation and Vena r
"S'h T ,n-d the Pssibility union
orjraruzation for the employes in the radio and television
business.
A half of a hundred employes and employers attended;
the affair which lasted several hours. Representatives I
?f Hon"16?110?1 Bfotnwhood of Electrical Workers,
local 280, AFL, also attended the meeting.
- Members of the IBEW, Burt Landon, business mana
ger of the local, Carl Cummings, president of local 280. i
led the discussion and were on the receiving end of the
question and answer period following.
Guest speaker of the evening was C. A. Vibbert, presi
dent of the Salem chapter of the National Electrical Con
tractors Association.
, . . ;
The Federal Communications Commission announced'
last week it proposes to authorize a new compatible color
television system which can be tuned in on existing re-!
ceivers.The new color plan is sponsored by the National1
Television System Committee, a technical group repre
senting virtually all segments of the telecasting industry.
The commission noted in announcing a proposed ap
proval, that no opposition to the NTSC plan has devel
oped from any 'source.
If the committee's color system should be finally sanc
tioned by FCC for commercial use, it would throw out;
the Columbia Broadcasting System's color broadcasting
technique which the FCC approved on an exclusive basis
in 1950.
The CBS System cannot be received on existing sets
without conversion. The new one would show up on pres
ent sets in black and white.
Following the announcement, manufacturers made
plans to have color television on sale in less than a year . . .
However, the respective television stations also must buy
equipment in order for them to color-telecast. Therefore, ;
it could be more than a year before the Northwest sta
tions could purchase the proper equipment.
At nrst, just like everything else, the color TV sets
will cost a small part of Fort Knox. A 14-inch set will
cost around $750 during the first three years. After four
years of production the cost should come down to fit
the average person's wallet ...
. So color TV is continuing to progress, but it will be
a long, long time before the cost is low enough so that
a person can sit down and enjoy it. :

Each week the show dram

story, such as how a reporter
helped an innocent man get out
of prison.
But the newspaper man or
woman, whether from New
York or Tombstone, Ariz., usu
ally has to be portrayed by
somebody with an Actors Guild
card.

Fund Raising by
Plywood Co-ops Out
Portland (U.R) Efforts of a
group of men and their three
Oregon plywood co-operatives
to solicit funds were held in
abeyance today until further
investigation by the security
and exchange commission.
Federal Judge James Alger
Fee handed down an order,
agreed to by both sides under
stipulation, which also pre
vents the defendants -from dis
posing of any funds already
collected in the venture.
The order was the result of
an SEC complaint asking the
court enjoin the defendants
from any further alleged vio
lations of the anti-faud provis
ions of the securities act of
1953.
